- A beekeeper abandoned quite a few beehives on my my neighbor's property. With the help of my friend Josh and couple of his friends, we saved 4 beehives and I got to keep 2 hives. This was an experience, a lot to learn about bees. Thanks to Josh, Dave and friends!

I like how you all handling everything I see so many people just grab and toss and destroy their homes and not care how they handle the bees you all did this with great care.
Wonderful to see people that care,you are so careful to take the frames out without hurting the bees or trying not to make them mad.
Awesome job Jag and team!
Most likely varroa would’ve taken them eventually (within 2 years usually) and year on year a new colony would arrive replacing the dead one.
So nice of you to save them. If bees could say thank you, they would.
Really enjoy watching these videos! Thanks for sharing and all the best you you and your bees :)
WELL DONE, EXCELLENT!!
Thank you for saving them
Absolutely love this! Go go go you!!!!!!
Super interesting!! Great job!
Didnt know you are a beekeeper too. Another great video thank you.

Don’t skip school Josh!
Great video, it is really good the someone is taking the initiative to save them.
Yeah your nice of bees sake thanks and thansk you they would say thansk you and thanks your the best
Jack you too good and kind human being.i wish i could meet you to get so much of knowledge.whats you full name
Did the guy working with you move them off the property or did you move them to your house? How did you go about it if you moved them to your house? I had bees priory and ran into trouble when I had to shift a hive that moved into empty boxes on my patio.
We moved them at night when all the bees returned home. You block off all entrances, move atleat 5 miles away and then open entrances.
Do you plan to move the bees to your farm? Will you donate other hives to those who came to help?
When you spoke about your chickens on another video, you mentioned you didn't eat meat. Do you eat honey then? What will yiu do with all the honey if you keep all those hives?
Yes, moved 2 hives to our farm, Josh and friends got to keep the other 2 hives. We do not eat meat but we do eat animal products such as eggs, milk, and honey, if the animals are kept humanely and happily. We will harvest any extra honey if there is some leaving enough for bees to safely make it to next spring. We mainly keep bees for pollination.
👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing this! What a beautiful process of restoring the bees’ home. Do you plan to
harvest the honey at some point?
We will harvest some from the existing hive I have and won't harvest any from these til next year. We always leave enough for the bees to safely make it to spring
Cool! It would be nice to see what that process looks like too.

Wow did not know how important the moving process is
Hi chad
Yes=Help our bees survive Bless you===Please let me help you a little=The Caucasian bees swarm less than any bees and they are very friendly. They go into winter with more honey but less bees so they don't starve easy as others. fact they are not bad at swarming they build up massive hives and make more honey. I have 2 large hives of the Caucasian Bees and really like them. You can buy great queens from Bob Binnie in Georgia which are a mix of Caucasian and Carnolen. I plan to buy one myself this spring for grafting new queens. Myself I catch about 20 wild swarms each spring and many of them have learned how to kill mites and black beatles. I also have invented a Propane copper fogger for Oxalic Acid that takes only 2 minutes to fog a hive. Its $ 115.00 including shipping. however you must buy the torch (Mr. Torch) from Tractor Supply and the propane tank. I first fog my 70 hive mid winter on a warm day 58 F so the cluster will be broken up to reach all bees. College in Florida says to do a complete kill on mites us 4 grams of Acid on each hive. I did that last year and June 7 when my bee inspector checked 6 hives he found zero mites in my hives. I also fog my hives 2 times 10 days apart in April,
then the same first part of August after pulling my second round of honey. I remove my spring honey before our 11 Linden Trees bloom. Because 2 Linden trees are Equal to a whole acre of flowers. Why fog first part of Aug.=thats when
De unde esti
Are you all abandoned
What size rubber bands do you use?
Bees construction of a Hive
Brood is in the center
Honey on the outside frames
This keeps the youngest bees warmest
Bees movement and heat changes the nectar the Bees collect into honey
Adding frames into the center of the hive will help the Brood expand
Adding frames to the sides of the boxes " will help increase the amount of honey produced , stored "
The amount of honey produced and stored helps get them through winter
The Brood size helps in the collection of nectar
If the Bee Keeper removes too much honey too soon the viability of the hive may drop , decline , become unviable ( the hive colony might decline and die ..... not enough food to get the colony through )
Obviously flowers , flower Season is the next most important and in different parts of the country seasons are varied
longer , shorter , droughts , Flooding , Coldness , winterness ......
I hope this basic description helps
Good lucky Bee Busy
Your name chad

That’s kind of stealing isn’t it!
So, no one bothered to look for the disappeared owner?
I belive the previous bee keeper may have died which would explain why they ended up abandoned like this-
You said that one of the abbaned one
save them the bees are suffering
Why 😣
Explained in the video, the boxes were in bad shape and attacked by mice, hornets, and wax moth larvae
I’m 11 my name is Josh to
*too*
Don’t skip school Josh.
Why is he stealing hundreds of aspects of my culture?
