When to add a SECOND brood box to your beehive

Показать описание

Timing is everything when it comes to keeping bees. I demonstrate how to determine when to add a second brood box to your bee hive. I do a hive inspection and I show how much the bees have built in just 7 weeks. I count the amount of built vs unbuilt frames, and ultimately decide to add another brood box.

Join me on my adventure of beekeeping, as I climb the learning curve and do my best to treat these bees right.

Bees were acquired from Woodland Bee Co. These are Italian bees. They came with the pollen patty included.

In my experience instead of just adding a box of frames take a frame or two brood frames from existing box put them in the center of the new top box and they will start working the second box right away, the brood will hatch and within 3 weeks your second brood box will look healthy and be well on its way for winter ahead

You should always look out for the queen

Good job, just a couple things to help you. You have your entrance upside down, bees should be able to walk in rather than climb over the entrance and should you be using the small entrance on the other side of the same piece until the Bee population rises, new Colonies are not strong enough to defend the large entrance effectively against persistent intruders.

light puffs if you looking for a queen but normal hive inspection. your doing fine keep up the good work and thank you and your narration was fine

In Scotland I work by frames of brood not drawn frames. Potentially very misleading to use that method. Frames of brood are much more accurate. I add a 2nd BB on 8 frames of brood and they take off. Also in poly hives the frame nearest a wall will be the first one to be drawn out. Bees love to be warm and cosy. ;)

too so to add second box. they won't drawn out the lower empties now they'll move to center upper, best to have waited
