Trying out my new Hive Lifter B3 from Bee Breeding Center. This tool will be a game changer in what I’m able to do by myself.

Note that I don’t have sponsors or discounts. I paid full market price.

Link to my Amazon Store, with books and products I like:

Note: if you purchase from my Amazon store, a tiny amount of money will come out of Amazon's pocket and go into mine. The price to you is the same. They have deep pockets and I don't, so your support is appreciated.

I purchased model B1 from Boris and love it so far. Just like you said in your video, you are not reliant on others for help with lifting. I added a hanging scale to my model so I can get a weight on each hive I lift. Great for logging honey super weight for each hive when I harvest.

Great tool for saving your back. I can't wait for the bees to get busy with nectar. Lot of trees budding out and plenty of pollen coming in now. Swarm season is coming fast. ❤🐝

Great job on the hitch hauler! When I first seen it I thought about the “one more thing” of having to take it out of the Reese hitch to access the bed with the lifter but...noticed quickly that the lifter clears the hitch hauler just fine! Looking forward to more videos of you moving hives with that lifter...the potential purchase has been on my mind. Thanks again for the time you invest in these videos!

I am sure your are going to enjoy the new hive lifter. From what I can tell Mike Berry likes his. Hope you have a great season with great tasting honey at the new location. Be sure and keep us updated!

That B3 has a much better loft motor than the B2. Glad it’s working out for you. I know I love mine.

Thanks Nathan, we have had a few warm days here in central NH and the bees have been out ; ] We still have enough snow for xc skiing on the ground, 8" solid base. I think we are 4-5 weeks behind you. The shot angles are good at demonstrating how you move the lifter around. I have a friend that has expressed interest in a lifter, and I will tell him to watch this video. Keep the spring videos coming. peace, B

You give good information on the bee yard. And you are so lucky we got 6 to 8 inches of snow & more coming later this week. Keep it up and going please.

I really like the looks of your hive lifter. I’m going to do something to save my back and continue to do this while I’m not getting any younger. I’ll be looking at it seriously in the near future. I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!

Nice. I had exactly what you worry about last year. 1 of my 2 yards had a European foulbrood breakout. The other yard never experienced any signs, though I'm sure it's lurking. Have a great day

Nice hive lifter. Enjoyed the tour of your new bee yard. Looks like a very nice place. Hopefully you can capitalize on that sourwood. Thanks for the video.

Envy your earlier bee season but I've a few tasks to complete - today was burning down the burn pile, putting out some dry pollen and cleaning out a few flower beds as God blessed us with a 60 degree day here in Pennsylvania and the rest of the week will be rain, snow, winds AGAIN! Still need to paint up a queen castle, straighten up the extra bee equipment and make preparations for teaching 5 new beekeepers starting in March. Looking forward to your first inspections and swarm captures.

That hive lifter looks great for those occasions when you need to lift multiple supers at once. If my operation gets big enough i may get one to help putting empty honey supers under nearly full ones.

I noticed in other videos that you have quite attractive labels for your honey jars. Perhaps you could make a video about designing and producing those labels.?

Tasting for difference will be very interesting.

The fish got poisoned? SO I wonder why doesn't the mountain laurel poison the bees? hmm very interesting!
