    Cheers for this, I've been looking for "home beehive" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Tiyia Beehive Basophilic - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my cousin got great success with it.

For having no idea what I was doing I did pretty well and got about 6 to 8 pounds of bees in a box all together. Now I need to get some hive equipment to manage them. The morning sun comment was something I was wondering about. I'm still not sure where I should put them I moved them under my big oak tree for now just to get them away from my door..

    Very grateful for this video. There were a few places where you feel back on terminology that may not be understood by the individual seeking basic information (i.e. talking about 'deeps' and then 'drawn out') but generally you did a great job as a teacher. Thanks. ADDITION: You might consider making another video just explaining all the common terms with physically showing the items. Beekeeping definitions for the newbie. Think about all the questions asked in comments and address those that fall into the definition category. Think about all the parts of the hive and what they are called and how they are used and physically show the part while describing it. If there is a video out there that does this without a lot of side talk and/or stories, I have not seen it.

We've gone with all medium rather than deep bodies as neither my husband nor I are getting any younger. Using medium should we use 3 brood boxes instead of 2? Our winters here in N GA aren't as long or cold as yours, but I am worried they won't have enough for the winter.

  • @joeheller007

    @joeheller007

    6 жыл бұрын

    You are exactly right! Wax moths are opportunist and will hide in your top cover. Dont ventilate that way. Get a screened bottom board or a top hive attic or a "quilt box" for your top. something that gives ventilation but is screened. Hive beetles usually come thru the hive entrance. They can fly so they are a little tough to keep out. Place beetle traps inside your hive.
