where do you store your extra honey frames after you extracted the honey? And I was given some old 9" and 6" frames. some of them were found in the tall grass, with weeds, mud on and some frames were chewed, will you re-use them ?

[damonlinthwaite]

I bought a package of bees and an extra queen and split the package between 2 3 frame nucs and I now have 2 double deep 10 frame hives with 2 honey supers and am loving it

Hi Laryssa thanks for the video its full of great advice. I am in Southern Australia where we are just coming into spring and yesterday I caught my first swarm and successfully got it into my single box hive. I have no idea or very little knowledge about beekeeping yesterday was day one. So looking forward to what's ahead and fully expecting some disappointments but keen to learn. This is something I have wanted to do for a few years and now and am very excited. Hope my new bees are still there at the end of the week. Thanks again and looking forward to learning as much as I can from you.

Banana plants behind you. I moved from central Illinois to north Florida . I am not familiar with summer or fall necter runs, are there any? Good starting video, it's very helpful information.

I'm investigating keeping bees. I live in a forested area, so I think there is a good supply of nectar in the area. Also, I am planting clover in my back yard for the dry times. I live in an area where the winter is long, cold, and wet. I was looking into Hoover hives, which seem to cater to those in Northern areas. I was wondering what you think of Hoover Hives. Also, I am thinking about buying an empty 5-frame nuc. Our local beekeeping association has swarm parties, and I might be able to keep some bees in a good nuc, at least temporarily. Does a good nuc count as one of the 3 beehives?

Question : what can I do if frogs are in the area of keeping bees?

Just found your channel. New subscriber here. Good stuff!

[NKYHoneyBees]

*Your channel is truly great! New sub here. I like the instructional videos on many subjects. You definitely answer many new beekeepers questions. Awesome!*

[avonwoodequestrian]

If you dont look at every frame, how can you be confident there arent queen cells/preparing to swam?

[HUNZY-qocv]

You got more adds than super bowl Sunday. Hope your harvesting that youtube cash. 😂

[azurebapiaries]

Ideally, catch a prime swarm in a bait hive to begin the journey... #swarmstead
