Beekeeping | Installing, Inspecting and Evaluating a New Package All Year

In today's beekeeping video I'll show you the right way to install a package of honey bees and a 5 frame nuc.

If you are new to beekeeping or you keep failing, I strongly recommend you take my Ultimate ONLINE Beekeeping Course.

#1 Tabletop poly bag impulse sealer. Many uses from honey straws to ship item liquid or powder.
#2 It's a 9 frame spacer. It is used to help beekeeper maintain even spacing between frames which helps honeybees to make more even comb.
#3 Its called Proventriculus
A constricted portion of the honey bee foregut or honey stomach, which can control the flow of nectar and solids. This allows honey bees to store nectar in the honey stomach without being digested.

Item #1 Plastic bag sealer, Item #2 spacer for a 9 frame set up in a 10 frame box, Item #3 The rounder pinkish part is the honey stomach a storage sac, used in honey bees to carry nectar. The longer pinkish apart is the Proventriculus a constricted portion of the honey bee foregut or honey stomach, which can control the flow of nectar and solids. This allows honey bees to store nectar in the honey stomach without being digested.

1. Bag sealer to package goods
2. Frame spreader, spaces the frames evenly within box
3.bee stomach used to allow bees to store honey/nectar to prepare for swarming.

bag sealer ... seals a bag with heat, hive frame spacer...for proper spacing between frames in the hive, proventriculus...a bee “crop” or valve that grinds and filters food and pollen which then passes into the ventriculus. Thanks for the fun and education!

[toddholmer]

1st was a bag sealer, 2nd were frame spacers. 3rd, that is a Proventriculus portion of a honey bee stomach. Used for storing nectar.

[dalefriedhoff]

No. 1 - Used to seal your Winter-Be-Kinds for shipping.
No. 2 - Frame spacer used to increase distance between honey frames while keeping all the frames evenly spaced
No. 3 - Have no idea but would like to know!!

Great videos!! Tank You !!!

1. Bag sealer. Used for your honey bee kinds and the ingredients to make it ourselves.

2. Nine fame spacer. It is used to create a small gap in-between frames so the bees draw out comb a little farther so uncapping with a knife is easier.

3. It's a proventriculus. Used to store the nectar/honey in the honey stomach while taking in other stuff and not digesting the honey/nectar.

1 sealer bar used to crimp honey sticks. 2 is a 9 frame spacer used on honey supers so they draw the wax out more. Keeps them evenly spaced. 3 is a proventriculus keeps nectar from being digested in the stomach. Nice job on the granite.

1- The heat sealer used to package in plastic your Burns Bees feeding system

2- Frame Spacer - when used it sets frames at 3/8ths inches apart (Bee Space) in the box

3- a dissected view of the digestive tract of the honey bee...muscular valve (Proventriculus) which is opened for the food to pass into the stomach, and the (Ventriculus) which is coiled and stores and transports nectar collected

Thanks for the video, excellent timing as I'll be installing my first 2 packages next week, and also thank you for spending all that time yesterday looking into the new innercovers.

1- Heat sealing equipment to close plastic bugs, I guess you use it to seal the additives

2.. frame spacer, you press on it on top of the Frames and it spaces them at the appropriate distance from one another

3... The proventriculus a muscular valve that can be closed, keeping the nectar from passing into the stomach.

Honey straw stick sealer, frame separator, the foregut and midgut and the proventriculus. The vale can grind food like pollen.

Last was Where she stores nectar ( honey tank). I recently bought your online course packet- it’s WONDERFUL!!! Learning lots- thank you David- you’re a great teacher!

[brandoncollins]

1- The sealer you used to package your feeding supplements/additives.

2- Frame Spacer

3- Proventriculus A constricted portion of the honey bee foregut or honey stomach, which can control the flow of nectar and solids. This allows honey bees to store nectar in the honey stomach without being digested.

[bradzachman]

Bag sealer for winter brekind. Frame spacer for spacing frames equally. Proventriculus allows bees to store never/honey without digesting it

[medic]

That’s a bag sealer used for shipping bee feeing kits. The second is a 9 frame spacer to get bigger honey comb during the harvest and the third is the honey stomach of the bee

[johncallahan]

1) poly bag heat sealer, you seal your bee additives with it
2) plastic frame spacer
3)the honey stomach holds nectar while in field til back at hive

[diannemiller]

My 3rd time watching! Enjoy watching you move the granite.
Needed to watch how you installed both types of bee's.
Thanks

[texascowgirl]

First item is a bag sealer. Judging by it size, you use it to seal the bags that you ship your winter be kind boards in.

Second item is a frame spacer, it’s used to evenly spaced the frames in a box.

The third is the honey stomach. It allows bees to store honey/ necture to take with them for swarming and such.

[mikefortney]

Wow, that was a fun video. Lots of great info. Next time have Rosey come over to pick up that slab of granite.

[bettygitz]

Wow! Great video again. I’ve purchased three courses and continue to watch for new videos you make for uTube. So very helpful in my second year. Thanks Dave and Sheri!
