Title: Demolition Bees-Part Two
Post by: JP on September 10, 2011, 06:40:01 PM
From bee removal to the bee yard is what this video is about. I take the bees to my main bee yard and set them up. This morning I went back and gave them more space and feed. There's footage of this also.

Hope y'all are doing well.

Hey JP hope all is well, I just want to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. if you don't mind me asking what type of bee vac do you use? I'm wanting to build one and I like the interchangeable bee boxes you use. Again keep up the great work and videos.

Oh so peaceful and calming JP. I don't think anything can calm me down as much as watching you mess with bees. I really needed that today. Really loved the slow motion videos of the bees flying around in the beginning and the end.

Thank JP

Annette

Thanks folks! I really put in a lot of time on this one. They're fun to make but also time consuming!

I echo everything Annette said, JP...I love seeing all the hives in the sun at the woodline.

You use a golf cart?! Is your beeyard on a golf course?

Liz, this particular yard is my friend's place on thirteen acres. The property is a long rectangle. He has two golf carts his family uses to get around and I use them to get to my hives most of the time.  I can't drive the field with my truck when its too wet as the field does hold water after heavy rains.

From watching your videos I've gotten so bold that I've been working my colonies in shoes, shorts, a T-shirt, and a veil for the past 3 or 4 months.  I've even done it barefoot a couple times working nucs in my back yard.  You might be a red neck if...
