Wow - that certainly seemed like an angry swarm until you put the sugar water down for them. Interesting video ... I'll watch your others as i would like to keep bees at some point...

Dude, don't EVER feed a top bar hive on the front porch. You are so lucky you didn't start robbing with that. The robbers would have severely wounded the hive if not killed it. Put a bowl in the back of the hive with some floats like shipping popcorn so the bees don't drown in it.

Excellent!! You are crazy scooping up a swarm man! Do you even have experience with that stuff? LOL. Looks like that topbar beehive turned out well, you did end up putting a window in!! Neato.. I have not made mine yet, got sidetracked, but I've really been thinking about it lately. I went to the beehive event and may go with the conventional beehive, each layer gets almost 75lbs of honey!! That is insane!! Glad to see you going to be posting vids, hope to see your progress this season!

How did you get the bees home? Great bee video either way! Thanks for sharing. :)

W.T.F, Brian? Abby says your stuff is BORING HA-HA! Hey Hope all works well. Bro only you could pull that off.
Thanks OutOfaBlueSky. I didn't know that. I tried to learn as much as I could ahead of time, but there's so much to know and sometimes only experience and mistakes can teach us.
I guess I did get lucky and will remember to feed them inside the hive come fall, which is the next time I'll be helping them out.
Cheers,

Thanks Nathan. The video is WAY too long and I should have cut about half of it out. Oh well, live and learn. Next time I'll be ruthless with cutting.
