@coteaz8 Duct tape irritates bees ? How so ? I am not talking about taping that hives I am talking about putting tape around were your boots meet your pants and gloves meet your sleeves and taping up every zipper on the suit. At work I deal with swarming bees not calm bees. I unload truck loads and put back together all hives that have been dropped by a fork lift.

Your bee suits are laughable, but them I see you are using a fogger and only have two hives. Try dealing with 280 hives and no fogger. You have to wear a full suit and duct tape every thing, even then you may get stung through your boots like I did today.

Scraping off unwanted wax (as seen in video) and throwing every little piece in a smal bucket will build up over time and sell for a nice price!

how do you feed the bees? are they collected sugar from flowers or mixed water & sugar baskets near by?

Two points: it looks like you added your second hive body too soon. The bees are filling the top body out before nearing completion of the first body.

And you need to open up the entrance reducer. Once you see bees starting to back up at the entrance you should increase the size. With both hive bodies on you could even remove the reducer all together.

Nice video!
