David, great job! Spot on delivery, great content... love your personality and advice is very very helpful! Much appreciated. /Paul

Your bees make a lot of propolis wow it’s just like gum

How do you like that hive stand, David? Do they seem to hold up well over the winter? Thank you for the videos, always some good information. 🐝🐝

Thanks David oh my goodness I"m way way too slow at least an hour.

I wonder if you are looking for swarm cells and take upp one frame of brood, if it would have caped brood, larve and eggs but no queen cells. Would that be enough to confirm that they are not planning to swarm or would you need to check more frames?

I use shousugiban on the exterior of my cedar boxes. If done right there isn't much char since you brush that out. I then seal it with a mixture if raw linseed oil and beeswax. I've wondered if that would be good for the inside too.

Given that the enymology comes from Latin via Greek which favors the flow of the word above other thing (so a Latin professortold me), i would guess it is praa polis. MW and HowToPronounce agree.

Thanks David. You're the best as always! My Mom was just asking how ofter we should be checking on the new hive. I sent this to her!

David a quick question on the honey supers I have like five complete boxes full with honey in the supers but none of it is capped is there something I can do to help them out with capping itCharlie PA

As if there is no excuder between brood en super boxes?

bee busy

Hey Dave, do you use the deep, super brood box config alot?

What’s a thurl inspection?

You do an absolutely WONDERFUL JOB teaching others how to do a video with the bees! WAY TO GO!!!

Nice video. Are those bean fields next to you. Bees coming back from there? Thanks

Boycotting Pres debate unless KENNEDY is going to be on there!

Read my mind!!! I just did my first double brood inspection as a newbie. It took too long and this will help sooo much!

Thank you Dave! I’m going to try this 15:52

Hey David, wouldn’t you want to keep the hive open until you know the results of your mite wash? If your mite could was high you could treat them (Formic Pro) without having to take the hive apart again.

Thanks David.

With my african bees iam speed running this The longer I take the worst for me and bees because they are stinging my suit as soon as I get 10 meters close to the hive lol

I have trouble finding my queen

Love your content. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ❤

7 years

I got same plunger but the two pieces type with top squared pattern where is no need to line the queen parallel to the lines its just squars that match the size of the queen thorax and as im comparing, mine is much easier than this thought this one is better for one hand use , i got little anxious watching definitely it would perfect if the top is square patterned 👍🏻👍🏻

This is such a good family moment.

14 years apart

I'm always looking for new recipes.

Another great video! It was great hearing you two interact. I have been loving Phyllis’s videos!!

Keep a strong hive and dont give them more room then they need

Im in south giles county on the border of tn and al. Would have loved to grab some coffee.

They can be tricky. Bees can get through a gap when plunger is all the way down. Young queems can wriggle through top. Great tool though.

Looks like an Extreme amount Labor ?

You can save some honey and put it in the hive when supplemental feedings are needed. This is natural and not sugar water.

What does it mean when a hive is honey bound? How? Where? What do you do?

I just removed my top board based on this video. Hives are hard enough to inspect so, as said in video why add another thing to remove.

shout-out to your glasses for fixing the audio there

Question for you, David, I purchased one of those isolation cages to help in Queen rearing but my issue is that is looks as if the queen can escape as there is a gap between the cage, the frame support (on the box) and top metal cover of the cage... I've had to shove some wax in there to try and seal it, etc.. Have you seen this issue? I wonder if it's not boxes as they are pretty old.

David, I really enjoy watching your videos. I'm a beginner bee keeper with only a single hive. I noticed you just marked this queen with a white marker. Shouldn't you bee using a green marker for 2024? Or is this a very old video that you've just posted?

David, why not put the extra frame into the new super in place of a new frame?

David and Phyllis, this video speaks to me and for more than beekeeping. I too took part in restoring a log house that my brother's in laws had on their farm. Literally doing all the work by hand like it was done originally. Best years of my adolescents.

BEST VIDEO YET 👍 AS ALWAYS KEEP FAMILY CLOSE NO MATTER WHAT !

How do i find your sister

This has to be your best vdo

You guys said David was 11 when she left for college, so 7 years different

If you were 11 when she went to college, then she would have been about 18 so 7 years apart. LOL

Do I need to let the feed solution cool all the way to room temp before giving it to the bees?

David is 7 years younger assuming you went to college at 18.
