(From France, excuse translations errors). I imagine that this insistence (not only yours, but general) to constantly "inspect" the Warré hive serves only to give the illusion that the beekeeper "leads" or "directs" the swarm of bees. But it’s just an illusion. I friendly invite you to read the book by Father Warré (named "Beekeeping for all"), who created this hive in the last century, and who explains why it is essential to avoid constantly opening the hive. It is preferable for the bees to let them quiet, and for the beekeeper to learn to observe the bees on the hive entrance or behind the windows, (without opening the hive), and to deduce whether the swarm is doing well, or if there is a problem. (For example, there is a little book by Mr. Storch ( that lists the observations that can be made, depending on the season, and the deductions that flow from that).

Re Frame Postion. Tip : Brood is mainly near the Entrance. And Honey is primarily at the Back. Bees do this, so Robbers : Bees, Bears, even Beeks: would be stung plenty before getting access to the Honey. It's a Survival mechanism ! Steal Honey 'you get Stung'. Same applies to Hives. Brood at the Bottom, Honey above, out of reach ! Hives just replicate old Hollow Trees... 😎

They may abscond on you with no comb in the boxes as well...no pollen...no honey...what a hard way to start a colony.

You don’t know bees if that’s your thinking , how do you think swarms start off when they leave a colony to start a new home ?

You don't have frame requirements? Could you run skeps? This is more of a modified Langstroth then it is a Warre.

Interested to know why your frames are positioned horizontal to your entrance? I have mine positioned opposite to yours.
@mmb_MeAndMyBees Жыл бұрын
They are positioned in a Warm Way (Across) You can do this in Square Boxes, eg Warre, UK National Hive etc. Langstroth run Cold Way (Frame ends Front to Back from Entrance.) Cold, or Warm, has no difference, usually a Cultural, or Hive Build usage, re Bees ! 😄 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 Happy Beekeeping 2022. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

Jeez! I guess I should have bought my Warre Hives pre-assembled... This is tough stuff, the assembly anyway, for a simple girl like me.

Thanks, years ago when we first moved to the farm I had a subscription to Gleanings. I never got bees though. Now I've sold the sheep and have pasture I'm turning into wildflowers for pollinators. The Warre hive looks like a plan an old man can grow into.

When we get packages it's usually too cold to use your wooden hive top feeder. The bees can't break cluster when it's chilly to get to the syrup. The Jar feeder can be placed directly over the cluster from the package. The can get to the sugar syrup this way. I agree that the hive top feeder will be affective in the fall because the hive has grown to a point where they produce enough heat to get up to the feeder for the syrup.
