  • You might want to try foundationless technique, i experimented with it and it woks fine but the best thing is it dose not cost you a thing to use this method. In a SHIT situation. This method lets the bees build their comb as they do in nature Google:"Foundationless frames bees" for more info.

  • nice video

  • Wow yor hive is pretty impressive. Can you keep honeybees in wales where he weather isn't that great do you know thank you?

  • @singful PAW = Post Apocalyptic World. In the event of the world as we know it changing for the worse, this man and his family prepare to be self-sustaining by making their own food and power, etc.. Basically a commonsense, back to earth lifestyle that would benefit everyone for general reasons and not just one specific one.

  • I saw in some of your other bee videos that it looks like you have several hives close together. Is it possible that since they were close together that it allowed the pests and illnesses to quickly travel from hive to hive to multiply your problem? My guess (and I've never raised bees) is that you may gain some protection by separating your hives a bit.

    Also, I've recently read that growing mint near your hive boxes will result in your bees landing on it where the mint fumes suppress pests.

  • how can i get one those bees for my artritis?

  • even though the comb is ruined can you still use the wax? once melted all the garbae should sink to the bottom.

  • oh, and what are Apis Mellifera?

  • Do you like to use Italian over Russian?

  • ITALIAN BEES OR APIS MELLIFERA
