I got 5 packages back last April, I had been watching your videos and decided in mid may to build six 2 frame mating nucs because i had a queen get superseded and didn't want to kill off all cells they had built. I used those up to do walk away splits with and also used them to test shipped in queens. I split those hives and went into winter with 22 colonies. As of today 2/29 all are still alive. I'm in central ohio so we still have 2 months to contend with (one more month till maple bloom) but your info has helped me a lot. I

Hello from the Blue Mountains in Australia. I have been watching your videos for some time now. They have dramatically increased my bee knowledge.

Lot of Great information David. I wondered if You were going to take a breath. Thanks a bunch for sharing. Appreciate it.

[alexalovesyahweh]

I don’t know why but me and my four-year-old daughter love your videos! You’re awesome! Thanks for the content

[rustyaalberg]

Thanks for the video David. That's a great idea on the package bees and two additional queens. Lol...photo bombed by the cat..

[ricardodominguez]

David, Your videos and your presentation are grass roots Beekeeping. Well done. Here is an idea for those people who think beekeeping is expensive. What I have been doing from the beginning to build bee hives is this. Go to any construction site that is building houses, apartment buildings, or any type of construction and ask if you can have some of the scrap pieces of board.Most times you are doing them a favour. Then you can build anything you want for free. Plywood, particle board etc is usually thrown out.

I have three..plan to buy more this year..awesome product and great construction

[jonhaskell]

I make little entrance reducers, and stick a drywall screw in the front of the reducer, so they're easier to manipulate.
I like to build the slightly deeper nucs though, so the swarm cells that are hanging down below the frames will still fit without messing with them.

River Falls WI - Russians were out collecting pollen on Sunday. The trees are starting to bloom everywhere and the Russians have awoken from their slumber. It's in the 30s at night 40s during day - tree sap is running - upwards of 60 this weekend. I have built some 2 frame mating nucs - plan is to expand to three hives of 8-Frames for over winter. Overall, grow from my one hive that made it over the winter into three hives - next year - if over winter is successful for 3 hive - I will really start to ramp up my business of delivering Wisconsin OverWinter Nucs. I never treated these Russians for Mites last year - here's to hoping I have found a healthy hive that manages it own mite loads. I listened to you Dave and started feeding pollen early / w sugar I think I work the hive up right on queue - Time to start feeding and building bees!

I really do enjoy the YouTube videos that barnyard be hands and I enjoy the You tube he. Seems. real knowledge of Queen seems like there really concerned about helping people especially when you'r. 🆕 beekeeper and it's a simple down Earth person that is willing to go out a way to help someone and I would definitely recommend Barnyard bees

[gwaynewilcox]

Thanks for the beetle gate. I'll see when my package is coming and get 2 Queens from you.

[stevesoutdoorworld]

Thanks David for the good info.I started building some today.They should work out great have great season!

[vcanura]

Great method. Already used last year. Done plenty of 2 frame nucs and they work quite well. 100% mating of new queens. Start again this year. Thanks David!

[jamesslemp]

Nice job on the video My self not needing a whole lot of Qs take one hive earlier then they make there normal Q cells for swarming and let them go at it by removing the old Q and once those cells are ripe and within a day or two of emerging then harvest them to start some nucs but to make some resource nucs incase theres a problem with a hive then combine these nucs with the colony with problems.

I'm in northeastern Indiana. There's an old saying that is swarm in May is worth a load of hay. A swarm in June is worth a silver spoon. April April, in Indiana can be really cold and I've seen it snow in April in Indiana more than once.

[lbawcom]

Wow! David, it is cold at your place. Im in SE Arkansas, 71 degrees today, 2/29 Saturday. Going to be the same tomorrow. Im on the same Latitude as you (looking at map) almost. Sure lots of difference. Was 40 last night, going to be 50 tonight. Forcast says about the same for the next week. But 3 days of rain. Ive got a lot of green here. Blooms are fixing to pop!

[benfoster]

I definitely enjoy your long videos better keep feeding information and thank you

[loislangley]

I have 1 new swarm 6 weeks in 2 box hive. Has just got down to a few bees in top box. Going into winter here so I am just going to take any frames they haven't got anything in and put 2 or 3 honey nectar frames in. Hope to get another 2 boxes and frames for spring. I just hope these survive. In Queensland Australia.
