What we need is drawn comb. Drawn comb is the key to all sorts of positive things in Beekeeping. The stuff is like gold dust.

[@ChiltonBeeCompany]

It is certainly a valuable commodity

Awesome info. I really enjoy your videos and learn alot. Keep them coming!

[@wildandfreehoneybees]

Great video! Thanks!

[@dinobernardi170]

Thank you....well done. Your method of explaining is very calming, easy to follow and not feel intimidated

[@ChiltonBeeCompany]

Thank you

Good idea to multiply bees. I prefer walk away splits taking the old queen and then I split again the ones that have a capped queen cells. I don’t like having extra inventory to deal with it. I have 5,7 and 10 frames boxes and they serve me well. But the amount of work remains. Success.

That's a good idea also. Thank you for watching

I use these except I made a FD box into 4 x 2 frame nucs, with 4 entrances on the box. Works a treat,

[@ChiltonBeeCompany]

Good idea

On the walk away split, after the 4 day wait and leaving the 1 queen cell, do you go back in to check for more later on or should that be it?

[@ChiltonBeeCompany]

You won't need to check again

[@barkersbees]

Can you do this with full sized boxes and just have frames of foundation and still do it? I don’t have any 2 frame boxes but I have some 5 frame boxes and a lot of 10 frame boxes.

[@ChiltonBeeCompany]

You could but a small colony of bees does much better in a smaller cavity. If your going to use a 10F box it works much better to use a double screen board over a stronger colony

Does the heat of the sun affect them if u have them in the sun??

[@ChiltonBeeCompany]

Not any different than any other hive. They have no trouble regulating the heat. They will move out and beard pretty heavy sometimes but I've used them successfully all Summer

[@zionhoneybeesfarm1235]

@@ChiltonBeeCompany ok thanks

[@zionhoneybeesfarm1235]

@@ChiltonBeeCompany one more thing do you recommend shaking a frame a bees along with the frame of bees??

[@ChiltonBeeCompany]

Not after the cold weather is gone, unless you use a solid frame of open larvae. A solid frame of open larvae takes a good amount of bees to cover the brood during the night. Better to use a frame of capped and open larvae
