I find the practice of reversing brood boxes a curious one. In an unmanaged hive, the brood is near the hive entrance, and the honey is stored in the farthest part of the hive from the entrance. But when you're reversing the boxes, you're encouraging the queen to lay further from the entrance. To me, that says the queen doesn't like crossing between frames vertically, although she obviously can as we saw in that first hive. Or maybe she just likes being in the warmest part of the hive which is going to be the top.

Very helpful thank you!

I live in NE Georgia. Last week I found 5 swarm cells (open) and 2 queen cells (larvae in cells) in one hive. Only a few in the other hives. I use single deeps which makes it easier to inspect. I add a medium on top in late winter for any pollen and honey from the 1:1 syrup I start in early February. It seems to keep the brood in one place and gives them a place to store early food.

Looking good! They are off to an early start here in Arkansas. About three weeks compared to last year.👍 Thanks for your instruction and information.

I had a nice chat with my local purveyor of beekeeping goods today about this video. I haven't reversed my brood boxes or anything, I expect my queens to utilize the space down below, they've always done it before with no problems, but the bee expert I spoke to said that in warmer climates down South, this doesn't happen for some reason and it is critical to reverse boxes before March 15 otherwise you'll get a swarm!

You seem to be just about 2-4 weeks ahead of where I am in the UK. March weather is always a little bit of a challenge nowadays, with days on end with maybe 60-70 F and then all of the sudden days on end with storms, rain, and maybe just 40F and frost at night. Usually we are best of just hefting hives and making sure they have enough resources until mid to late April, as boosting up the colonies earlier can end up requiring a whole lot of pampering until temperatures and pollen and nectar flow picks up.

Enjoy your videos; what are you using for your inner covers? The metallic material...

Kamon, couldn't you have taken some of the unused frames and mixed them with those in the upper box?

According the American Beekeeping stats, a average beekeeper has a 134 hives, and a total of 230000 off them, and to pollinate only the almonds off California a 2.4 million hives are needed to guarantee a good harvest. Plus a pro beekeeper is a 300 hives man. So I’m confused because in a country like Turkey the numbers are triple including the honey consumption per head

Hey Kamon, when you run your out yard with your best genetics are you going to do frequent mite checks and go treatment-free? Most people who do that eliminate any colonies that do not manage mites on their own and breed queens from the best colonies. If so, how are you going to keep genetic diversity? Also, are you going to select for honey production as well? Some people select for bees that make bees and some select for honey production.
