When you crack open the lid, you have to rigorously shake the bee hive, and show the bees who's boss. Then, they won't sting you.

Man, that beautiful buzzing. please guys,everyone should start a hive, if the bees don't make it, we do not make it. plain and simple.One of the purest things on this planet from the purest creatures on the planet. I am very emotional right now.respect and so much love for all bee keepers, you are doing god's work.

Hi, as a third year bee keeper from little old sussex England . I would like to say your thankyou for your informative down to earth videos. Your love of bee keeping spills out a vast knowledge that gives a clear message to over come the problems accrued in the learning of a great pass time. Ps, primitive knowledge wins through. Best wishes Tim Willett.

Man this guy is the GOAT! Greatest of all time man! All your vids are great and to the point!

Tim Sr, glad to see you back, didn't know you had knee surgery but I'm glad to hear your doing well. We've all missed ya. As for the knees, I've got to have both of mine done and not looking forward to it at all.

LOL- Tim, as a Union Member- I recommend not eating any of us ;) I Love you videos- I watch them over and over (on things I have forgotten, and, when you say "Oh-one got me on the ear..etc) I'm full body suit little girl beekeeper! Thanks for your videos! Keep going!

Tim great to see you are back on the tube you were missed love your humour it brings a ray of sunshine to beekeeper all over the globe long may it continue

Thank you for this. It's nice to see you uploading videos again. Your my favorite KZread Beekeeper. Such good advice. We just got our first medium of locust honey up here in central Ct. Best may weather I can remember in years. Thanks Tim! JM

Thanks for the info it helped so much. I watch lots of your videos. It's good to hear from someone who loves the Lord like you. I love the Lord too and love my wife and love my bees. Have a great day and may God bless.

Thanks for the tips again Tim,I never realised that bananas and onions made a difference. I will have to make sure i don`t eat either before looking at my bees.

I really love your attitude and videos I am very glad you don't ask for donations like others you do it to be informative and that means a lot

Good advice. I'm glad to see you back. Hope your new knee is doing well. I took my first sting to the forehead Saturday. Guess what I didn't have with me...other than a veil...my smoker. I won't go back to the hives without a smoker or veil from now on. Again, I'm glad you are well!

been keeping bees for a couple years I STILL wear a suit FULL UP! And GLAD TO HAVE you BACK!

My dad cut down a tree on his property, it had a hive he has gathered the honey. I expect in the next couple weeks he'll get himself a bee box, lol. Im going to have to show him your videos. i've watched about 5 of them, they're great.

Good advice goes a long way , I always smoke , I know a few whom wont smoke there bees thinking it harms them , getting stung just isn't an option

Thank you for your video's. They help me a great bit. Got my Shingles shot due to your video & watching the Terry Bradshaw commercial. Thanks again for the Bee video's.

As always good advice, nice to see your back.

I'm so glad to see you are back to making videos Tim! I read that you now have a bionic knee -- very happy to hear that it was pain-free. Never heard of that happening before! Anyhoo, LOVE your advice, tips, tricks, puns, and wisdom. Many thanks for your inspiration. I have bees because of you! Look forward to more videos ;)

Great advice! Glad to see you are posting videos again.

Welcome back! We missed you.

Personally I try not to use the smoke unless I have to. I always think if I was a bee and somebody came puffing smoke through my letter box, I'd be out there with my bayonet at the ready.

my mentor thats been keeping 80+years also said dont drink alcohol before entering either and onions never heard about bananas. ty for great videos even your older vids still alot of solid information. keep em comming please

I have really enjoyed your videos. Your detailed explanations are a great help.

I started watching this video and started laughing because you were talking about me. Those bees were angry as they stung me through my gloves and shirt. I enjoyed this video as well as your others.

Awright, Tim's back.

I'll stop by to see you next time I am in Memphis. I made a split this weekend on my mon's bees and brought 5 frames back to Atlanta. They have already formed queen cells. I do try to go into the hive on sunny days.

Good to see you back

Nothing to do with this video, but I bought some bee pollen and Queens Delight last week from your Durhams Bee Farm and I'm telling you right now, that's the best and freshest pollen I've eaten in a long time. I like to eat a tea spoon or 2 right out of the bag, yummy!! Thanks for your products and customer service, and no I don't work for Tim Sr, LOL.

Glad to see you back Tim! Hope all is well?

Some materials will burn hotter then others,that will make the smoke hotter. That is why I like to use pine needles the smoke is a cool smoke.I like to test the smoke on my arm to see just how for to keep the smoker from the bees if you get the smoker to close to the bees and put hot smoke on them it will also make them mad.

Glad you are back making videos. More jokes would be nice. :)

My wife' my daughter and me are talking about you and we are happy to see you my daughter said he looks very happy man and I agree with her thanks for making things simple

I think getting stung is what keeps you looking so young! As long as your immune system is strong it only makes you stronger, or maybe it’s the honey you eat. I don’t know I hope I look that healthy at 70

Jute or duet wool sack washed well and rinsed 3 times cut into squares wrap green pine needles up into a roll. Will be difficult to light but lasts long time, use old burnt end of previous roll to start new roll. Light the black charred jute put in smoker put new roll on top and start puffin. If your pine needles dry out its still ok but wrapped up tightly in jute so it's well packed in like a brick the tighter the better. As soon as you can fit another roll in do it but you constantly got to open smoker and push the wad down so it lasts longer. Keeping it full keeps it cool.

I have 1 hive that doesn't like smoke, they hit me every time. no smoke and they let me do my inspection no problem! another hive I have has to be smoked, smoked and re-smoked every couple of minutes or they try lighting me up. YES, worst stings is where the sun don't shine!Man that smarts!

thanks.

I can attest to using smoke. My first hive I didn't use smoke... talk about some pissy bees, they were also queenless so that makes a big difference.

God loves you man.

Cardboard has glue in it, burning it puts off toxic smoke for you and the bees. The same applies to newspaper and the ink used on it.

Sounds like you have Cicadas there right now.

my bees stung me at first. then I smoked them a little, and no more stings. I don't even wear a veil. they don't even bump me. I just love them, and they love me back. seems to work.

Man, I love your videos. What do you think about spraying some sugar water on the bees after you have opened the top, smoked them, and waited one minute? I like the idea and I have been ding it a few times, but I cannot honestly tell you if it makes a big difference. It DOES seem to keep them busy for a while before they notice I'm there. Thanks again for your videos.

Can barely hear you over the natural background music of nature..... ( JAR FLYS)..ENJOYED THE VIDIO.

Did you ask him if he had eaten a banana before he worked his hive...teehee!

I don't use smoke either. I use sugar water.

do you use dry brown needles of fresh green ones??? how do lite em ???

great video! thanks! was going to ask you what about those wood pellets for the smoker. any good?

Mr. Durham we have just gotten into beekeeping this year and I have greatly appreciated your videos as they have helped more than you could imagine. But in the past week our Russian queen has either died or gone missing. Their are no new eggs and they have 2 queen cells and are in the process of making a third. We received the bees in the latter part of April and we are located in Texas and as I'm sure you have heard it's like the great flood over here; so what should we do now, will the bees make it? And also would the wet weather have anything to do with it?(The hive is elevated from the ground)

hi tim I have had a shock,one of my hives has died,i have three hives and this is my 2nd year,we had a bad frost for two days,it was like looking at a photograph of a hive all in place but all dead,do you have an idea on what has happened.many thanks Colin.in the UK.

do you have a video on why you use 9 frame spacers in brood box

We need more salt water for the humming birds

when do i add another box

My five week old bees are mean. They have food in the hive and water outside of the hive but for some reason they occasionally fly the 50 feet to my patio and try to sting the kids when they are out playing. Any suggestions?

@WallsBeeMan

6 жыл бұрын

You question is a tough one kind of. Assuming it is honey bees getting after your children. When you go into the hive, do you get the impression they are mean then ? If your colony is aggressive/mean, then you have 2 choices, move them further or requeen. Mean bees don't let you have as much fun as gentle bees. Same thing applies to a Wife.

@kentholmes3648

Walls Bee Man yes, I feel they are aggressive. Could just be me though. The guy I bought them from said the queen will need to be replaced sometime in late summer because of the crazy Spring we have in KY. I've looked several times and still can't find the queen.

Use a sugar solution spray, even if there are no booms. They'll be licking each other, and with bellies full they can't/wont bite.

Tim? How come you haven't made any new beekeeping videos? In my opinion, your beekeeping videos are more entertaining than anybody else on KZread (more entertaining than a barrel of monkeys). I hope you're doing well, if you ain't, I hope you're getting better. If you are feeling fine, we'd like to see you get busy and do another video. Alright buddy, take care.

Well hell, it sounds like you're getting it on more than I am and I'm close to half your age. I'm not married either, go figure! Boy I tell you, something gone horribly wrong... Anyhow, when does happen, I make it count. I enjoyed your video on Mole Control, I even added the link to my Facebook Page. What a hoot. I followed your advice about making "The Sure Thing Split" and they sure did take to their new queen. I'm surprised more beekeepers don't use your method. I hope to see more beekeeping videos. Perhaps you could do one on "What should a hive look like in the Winter time" or something on "wax moths". Have a good day Tim.
