Beekeeping | A Backyard Beekeeper's Way To Move A Hive

New beekeeper. love your videos

💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏

🎉🎉❤Love it. You are so with bees.

Moving a hive AND filming! Super informative. Thanks!

That's good to know David if I need to move a hive. I like your idea of placing a catch hive for any wandering foragers.! Great content. Excellent video thank you!

Great Video David and Great way to move hives.

Loved the video! Plastic wrap is a great idea. One suggestion--wear gloves when lifting hive by bottom board. In my area black widow spiders love nesting on the under side of bottom boards.

Link for robber screens? Lost two hives to robbing bees and wasps last fall! Wasp traps already out, new packages installed.

The inside of the plastic wrap is " stickyer " it is more Electrostaticly charged than the outside
Flip the roll over / around so that you are pulling the inside of the roll into the object being wrapped

Try it .

I wrapped machinery for export for ten years .

What is the brand or maker of your hive stand😂 I would think mice would like to nest under it.

Thanks 4 sharing David 😊Thanks 4 teaching us 😊

You didn't mention how far you moved them?

David please is the demeanor of a queen bee responsible for a hot frisky hive and can changing out a queen for another one help to relaxe and calm the hive to become nicer

May I request a video on your recommendations for us Beekeepers in Texas regulating against Aficanized bees.
Yes, they make lots of honey .. and fast. But I am encouraged not to allow queen rearage or hive splitting due to the possibility of mating with the extremely Hot Africanized strain.

This is an added responsibility for the Texas Beekeeper. Your thoughts will be greatly appreciated. 😊

Yes we don't block the entrance when moving bee hives because of over heating .moving hives at night . 4 hives per pallet . Dubblel deeps .

Good info on moving a hive. Looks like a good helper too.

Very interesting and informative.

what a waste of plastic

What distance where they moved?
