Does tapping on the box help to calm the bees? Thank you for the information, and newbies Do Not tap the boxes... be gentle.

I was thinking the samething. I'm no expert but I know you shouldn't beat or tap on the box.

Once you get all 5 frames out and queen in the box I set in front of the hive they will migrate over themselves and there pace

Bees aren’t that sensitive, they can handle some tapping... one of Earths most essential and most successful organisms... not resistant to man-made pesticide ... but tapping is fine

I too tap the box to get all the bees in a puddle I can then easily dump into the hive. It does not bother them much.

That bothered me too. I stopped watching because of it. Could not get past that. Why would he do that?

We bought our Nuc from Jason in part because of his videos and easy availability. We drove across Florida for his bees and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended! Thanks Jason!

Thanks for sharing and best to you and your hives take care

Great video. Succinct and to the point. Thank you.

I'm interested in setting up a hive to pollinate my plants. The idea that I'll get some honey is a bonus.

Knock knock! who’s there? pissed bees!! Pissed bees who?

Gonna get my mom this for Christmas

I’ll be getting a nuc in a few days unfortunately on a rainy day and late. Here is hoping the next day will be better.

Great video.

Thanks for the vid

Thanks for the video, It's nice to watch someone who knows what they are doing and is able to explain. (I'm not hating but as A first-time beekeeper I tend to come across a lot of videos made by other first-timers) Subscribed. TIL; honey frames go on the outside when installing NUCS + Consider black frames. I didn't want to use plastic so I might just spray paint a couple of my wooden ones to try and resolve. Happy Thanksgiving.

I'm not actually going to paint anything. Still not 100 about plastics though. I had to clarify after reading others' comments here.

A tap to see if your bees are buzzing

Great video to watch for a 1st timer like myself (received my Nuc today, will be installing it tomorrow morning). Question I have though, is while you are all suited up, you are not wearing any protective gloves. Why not?

Thumping the box. Whether it bothered the Bee's or not. It annoyed the shit out of me. Ge a set of drums already. LOL Besides that thanks for the info.

I'm new to this but can you put a newly waxed frame in between the brood frames to get them to draw out frames (of course feeding them also

I have seen videos like this... what is unclear for me waiting for my 6 nucks to arive in a week is how to install them in my box with foudationless frames? This will be my first year (i dont have drawn frames) so i belive the order of frames should be one frame from the nuck one epmty etc? If i let them with 3 empty frames next to each other they will drow randomly and i will make a mess? I need advice! Thanks

hi Jason, last nuc's I picked up from logan and hunter. they told me to checker board the frames which I did not do before. I put them in like you did. did I harm the hive?

How long with it take for the bees to fill up the box

👍👍👍

Are the beekeepers charging you extra for the boxes and frames of the nuc box? Or does that come with it?

What about the Queen? Where is the queen?

I am trying to build a hive small hive which has been a week since May would you sell a queenless nuke and you ship to Pennsylvania

Honest question...is your direction at the end of the video in regards to beekeeper ease or something to do with the bees transitioning to a new box? I'm asking because I've been installing for years, all day long and into the night, under red light.

@Eagle LeBird Video is meant for beginners. Want them to have an easy time installing it, hense the directions given. We do alot of things in the evening and poor weather cause we are a time line. Wouldn't recommend that to the folks buying Nucs the 1st time.

Can you transfer them into a 5 frame nuc. Then add another nuc on top with 5 new frames. Do you have to use a 10 frame hive to transfer them in? I have seen a ton of videos saying the expand faster in 5 frame hives and have less stress.

I do a lot of 4 over 4 over 4 hives and they do build up much faster. Especially in the cold spring since heat rises the bees seem to keep working when its cold.

I really like the Woodglut plans.

Interesting, a bee keeper from florida who has many hives has to purchase a nuc of bees. What happend???

He tapped the box so many times I thought it was a drinking game... every time he taps the box you have to take a shot!

Im gonna teach y’all how to move bees to their hive. (Beats the shit out of the nuc box) ok as You can see their a little feisty.

Haha why the hell are you banging on those hives? It is not a drum haha, what are you hoping to achieve like that? It just looks so weird standing and talking while randomly banging the hive...

Definitely not banging. Just a slight tap.

I’m not a bee keeper and even I know you don’t stand there banging on a bee hive...and you are standing there telling others how to do it. don’t know if I’d pay attention to you.
