How to install a package of honey bees! | Maddie Moate

In June 2022 I had my first package of bees arrive in my own back garden! I've helped my mum look after bees for years (some of you have seen lots of our videos already) but this was the FIRST time I have ever had bees of my own. When I filmed this, the priority was making sure that the bees were happy and calm, however we filmed as much as possible so you can get a sense of what the process is like.

Super job on the sound, like they were buzzing round my head!

That’s so cool! My mom really wants to harvest bees 🐝

[kingmoria]

Really looking forward to future beekeeping videos! Also you have a really beautiful hive, much nicer than others I've seen

[lanceplaxton]

You're so cool, Maddie. I enjoyed watching your Do You Know? series.

Wonderful little bees🐝🐝Thanks for the video!

[silly-bo]

Hi Maddie I love your videos! I have been watching you for 5 years

[marmaladeatkins]

Thanks, I found this really interesting as I’ve never seen one set up before!

[Yanquetino]

Loved seeing this, Maddie! So educational! I had no idea that beehives were so intricate. I sure hope you don't get huge wind gusts there, as it seems like the various levels and frames aren't tightly secured. I can't wait to see how well the hive is doing after a couple of months. Harvesting the honey will be sweet. Literally!

This is so interesting! I thought sugar water was only a one time solution for a dehydrated bee. Thanks for sharing!

If you ever get a chance to visit the Amazon rainforest, can you try to get footage of the supposedly loud booming sound that a cannonball fruit makes when it falls from the tree? That's how the cannonball tree got its name.

If we can afford it we'll get a hive this year. Really looking forward to it.
