I laughed so hard at the way you ended the video lol

Frank! Where are you and the bees?

Sorry I missed a few videos... For some reason I was unsubscribed?? happy to see that the bear's damage wasn't completely catastrophic

Install another brain 😂🤣😂🤣 id say yer the worst but beefit and fishing for bees are ahead of you

You didn't you seen the queen she was on the white frame

Awesome stuff Frank. Bees are looking great. Queen was on the white frame and came running in from the right hand side around 7:44 timestamp.

Your queen was on the white frame. Surprised that you missed her.

Exploding bees?? 😂😂😂 JK. Good job

Looks like a lot of happy, healthy bees to me!

Thank you!!

Great work! Proud of how far you’ve come in your bee keeping journey

You cant even process wax…… dumm videos

one easy upgrade, drive t-post you have in ground at the 4 corners, and just wire the insulated plastic post to it, give you much more stability with what you have on hand

Lost of bees will return to the old place. I always put a hive just in case they return and they will it gives me a chance to make a split.I just had frech eggs and cap brew. I had move my bee hive across the the road 500 fit from the house and most of them came back on my porch.... LoL 🤣 the only good thing about it I never see G.o.v.a at the door anymore... LoL 😂

Looks good.

Your spacing is fine

Frank The foragers after you move the hive to the new location you run the risk of the flying bees returning to the old site and getting lost.Try to fill the entrance with grass (they will take care of it) so they know something is different force to reorientate you can also add a small branch with leave in front to hive. good luck.

Your wax rendering skills Show your beekeeping skills. . Put the screening in before the wax you want to render….. I know DC is full of dopes But good lord. Refer people to actual beekeepers. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Is the girl from beefit your daughter ????

Dumm

I do something similar, I purchased one of those large stainless pots, boil/rake, rinse/repeat. I've been considering REALLY going overboard with cleaning the wax and building a solar wax melter, simple and inexpensive to make and the resulting wax is really nice... Now all I have to do is muster the motivation to actually build it hehehe

i use a heavier strainer from a restaurant supply store and scoop out the bulk of the cocoons from the pot before pouring

Beekeeper ? Mayne a polock beekeeper 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Why in the F didnt you just RUclips how to render wax

nice result, I like to put all my wax to be rendered in an old pillow case, melt it down in boiling water, pull the pillow case out and squeeze the last of the wax out. It would eliminate having to pour your slop into a bucket and making a mess..just my two cents!

wow gutsy move using the kitchen stove....lol. I use an old turkey fryer kit for large amounts of wax and an old crock pot for small amounts

That's what she said... lmao. Awesome video, I have yet to render wax. I just give it away to friends who make stuff with it.

Wax is gold :)

Are sur your strong is not robbing the weak one? From your short video that is what it look like to me.

I know you know this, but for the sake of a useful comment. Since you won't be moving the bees very far, this will be a great opportunity to talk about how you'll keep the bees from returning to the original location after the move.

Is this in the Uxbridge area? Just curious how far south the bears are these days.

Sorry to see you have a bear problem at the new place, Frank. Interesting the bear would leave the 2nd hive alone

Sorry to see that. The bees went to the neighbor hive.

I think I remember asking you if you had a bear problem when you got started. That stinks. They are a real problem where I live. I hate that I need a bear fence but can't keep bees without it. Good luck moving forward.

Bears come for the protein in the larvae more so than the honey.

I’m so sorry, Frank. I hope a new set of bees works out better for you. ❤

I guess the wonky comb did sort itself out then eh.. jokes aside, I bet the majority of the bees from that hive ended up over at the other. Alot of congestion at that entrance.

👍👍👍

That bear will be back

looks like you're gonna need a bear fence 😕

Always nice to see how beekeepers tend to bee great people, cant wait to see how this nuc will fare :)

Hi where are you located ? New beekeeper from Toronto

WHAT WAS IN THE WOODS RUNNING? I BOUGHT A BEE HIVE, HAD A MISSING PIECE TO IT, THE COMPANY WHICH I THOUGHT WAS TOP OF THE LINE DID NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT, SO I NEVER GOT THE PART. I SO WANTED BEE'S. AT THE TIME I COULD ONLY AFFORD ONE. I AM UNABLE TO DO A LOT DUE TO BEING TOTALLY DISABLED, I THOUGHT I COULD DO BEE'S, WHICH WOULD HELP NATURE. I GAVE UP ON THE DREAM. GLAD YOU GOT SOME THOUGH. BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL BEE'S. :)

I turn them around smoke off the bees and mash together

They are some happy bees, she is a beauty Frank! Cheers for sharing the video, Stay safe, have fun! 👍😁🍻 P.S I put some food coloring in my sugar water - Red or Blue. Helps me see what is being stored on the frames - eg sugar water or nectar! Just a suggestion. Stay safe, have fun! 👍😁🍻

Gal Steel bucket (pail) is my go too - like your pail only bigger! The one I use has a ring on the bottom of the pail to elevate off the ground. Here in Aussie, you don't want to start a fire. My pail of choice is probably about a 15L as the smoker can cough some sparks when knocked sometimes by mistake. Also more stable in the car when travelling. Great stuff Frank, stay safe, have fun! 😁👍🍻

Great Video Frank, well done, you'll be like me lifting the brood up to the top deck middle hive, to hatch out and then it will be back filled with honey with a normal comb. Stay safe, have fun! 🍻👍😁

Love how you are going about it Frank. I would be turning the volume down on the KB warriors LOL! Stay safe, have fun! 😁👍🍻

so you tried to mess with nature?...just plant flowers that they like elsewhere and let them do their job...no need to "feed" them

Or shove in a trimmed wine cork. That way you use less fuel too and when you restart it you know the material is really dry. (I restart using a blowtorch on the side of the smoker for 20-30 seconds. It’s quick, clean and easy).

I have a metal "ammo box" (army surplus) that the smoker goes in when traveling between bee yards. The air tight canister puts out the smoker in no time and doesn't get hot on the outside.
