Keep your stress down and that will minimize your problems. True in beekeeping and in life. Billy will be missed...R.I.P.
I just ran across this and like the idea for several reasons. Thanks for sharing!
Just wanted to say thanks, love the video and the teaching system you have. I truly hope you and Michael keep the videos coming.
This would be handy to use along with resource hives and moving frames of brood around.
it's nice but i don't think its completely nescesarry. it would be nice if you gotta do some extended work in the hive but if you place bees in a nuc, after a couple of minutes they will realise they are queenless which causes quite a bit of stress. and using this quiet box for just 2 or 3 minutes is just extra work. so thanks but i think i will just put the frames i take out next to the hive, they are just fine like that, they dont start thinking they're queenless and if they wanna get to the hive they just need to walk or fly over.
Besides. as long as you work with them patiently and listen to their signs (cuz they bee telling you if you do something wrong) there is no reason for them to get stressed.
