Bees are shown to have a relationship with their bee keeper. They understand the deal. The bee keeper builds a perfect home for them to be able to grow their colony, make wax, and honey for food. In exchange the bee keeper takes a percentage of honey from them. They get used to the bee keepers scent. If the non bee keeper approaches the hive or starts pulling out rows like that they’d get stung to shit because they would see the person as a threat. I e watched a few documentary’s on this and it’s really amazing

To be fair, they don’t create them as hexagons. They just build circles as tightly together as they can, which ends up pressing together into hexagons.

The almost perfect pattern of the comb is amazing, some ture natural art

@@petrhermanadventures9509 eh, not really. Where I used to live there was a massive abandoned orange grove. They left the bee boxes and I guess due to a long period of neglect the bees also built nests all over the trees. There were some that looked like the stereotypical hornet hive almost, and then there were some on an abandoned shack that I could lift the floorboards on, of which there were MASSIVE combs from I'm assuming years of buildup. The bees were always so chill as long as I wasn't rough. Sometimes because I was a kid and didn't have finesse, but while trying to get a comb sometimes I'd accidentally bust it up and get honey everywhere. Would watch the bees clean each other off because id accidentally get it all over them. They didn't seem to mind at all. Now that I'm thinking about it I wonder if that grove is still there. Probably not it's been about 40 years, last time I seen it I was about 15 I think. I miss it, there truly is not many things as good as a nice honey comb..

The frames in the hive have plastic foundation stamped in the pattern of the cells. It comes from the factory with a very thin layer of wax on it. I melt the old wax and add it to the foundation so the bees have less work to do in drawing out the frames. I show it in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dHislNmtdM7co5s.html

But, question: isn't honey the food they've made for winter, themselves and their offspring? I've been watching the Texas Bee lady and she doesn't harvest honey for that reason, so now am curious. In other areas (I mean, Texas has winter, but some areas hardly do, like Southern California, Florida, Hawaii, and probably other warm areas), is there bee food year round? And other than comb, beautiful thing that it is, do bees use beeswax for something other than making comb?

@petrhermanadventures9509

Жыл бұрын

bees are amazingly productive. A strong hive can produce a big surplus. My area is not awesome for honey production, but I can still harvest about 50 pounds per hive without affecting their winter stores. Bees also mix wax with tree resin to produce propolis, which is like a glue that they use to seal up cracks and rough areas in the hive.

When you read about all health issues, diseases, parasites and the massive kill off of these ESSENTIAL creatures it's absolutely beautiful to to see all of these keepers doing amazing work.

Your bees look very healthy!

I said lobes of comb, but the subtitles come out as loaves :) We put the frames in the hive so that they are removable and re-usable. This allows the hive to be inspected for problems and for the honey to be extracted without destroying the comb.

The pre-made frames are a wire mesh with a thin layer of wax already on. He heats the old wax and presses it onto the wax on the new frame. The bees will reuse what's there, instead of having to make more. (They have special glands that do that, kind of like a Spider's web glands.)

as their final service to the hive, most bees die out while foraging in the fields. Those that die in the hive get carried out by their sisters and dropped a short distance from the hive. Ants usually eat them there.
