  • was this a vacum u used to remove the bees, if so where they vacumed. to

  • @alex9289 No it is not a vacum it is a blower. The bees are blown down the chute towards the front of the hive, then they crawl back inside just as a swarm would go into a hive entrance. They are not harmed by the air.

  • what is that type of beehive called?

  • @anticolorguy

    We use Jumbo Langstroth Hives. They are the same dimensions as the standard Langstroth but with deeper brood frames.( Dadant size)

    Hope this helps.

  • What do you do with the frames after you extract the honey. can you put them back on the hive?

  • @victorhazbun Thankyou for your comment.

    The extraction process does not damage the frames and they can be reused many times. This saves the bees alot of energy rebuilding the honeycombs.

    Regards

  • a lot of noise with the aspirator; i know that the bees reacts fast to the noise.

  • excellent demonstration I enjoyed it very much

  • I just ordered a hive today. I'm not as interested in the honey as much as i am in the pollination of my fruit trees. How do you get the honey out of the comb manually?

  • nice.....

  • Thank god I'm not your neighbor although the honey looks amazing.But I would run so fast if I saw a swarm like that.
