It is not good that every time he is going to do something moves the box toward him and that way we can only hear but not see what he is doing

Why is she stirring with a glass thermometer?

I like the idea of these. You need a template so that all your boxes can be interchanged with others. Otherwise the latches won’t align unless you use the exact same boxes in the exact same order

Looks like its quicker straight from settling tank with scale underneath😂 And definitely cheaper

Thank you for the video

Bee to Queen - Um, you’ve got something on your… *gestures to own thorax*

The metric dimension given at ~3m05s "one point eleven centimetres" is obviously not correct. I think chap meant to say 11.1 millimetres. :-)

Why don't you use Hoffman frames? Thanks.

Very poor camera angle! What you're doing really can't be seen. Waste of time

❤❤❤

What month is best to give this treatment?

Just realised mistake on the side bar height of National Deeps... should be 12 inch not 14.

The additional width on the top bar seems pointless, frames fail at the ends rather than in the center. Just my experience as a bee keeper.

500ml does 100 slots at 5ml/slot. So for one hive thats 10 slots which is 3.5g in 50ml of water. The powder keeps but the liquid don't.

What's the difference between English and Irish sections?

did not find this helpful at all. if he had taken it slower then showed each stage it would have helped.

Thank you for the excellent instructions!

I am very keen on the idea of using the vapouriser on the top. I worry about the hot vapuriser resting on the top of the frames andburningthe frames. would it be a wise idea to have some sort of insulation material placed on the top of the frames where the vapourise would rest.

Superbes ruches

Hi Where is the video that shows assembly for All the part of the National Hive, rather than just the Super?

on the packet (bought from Thornes) it says "1 strip every 7 days for each beehive. complete treatment 4 strips for each beehive." this is twice the dose and different from your video. the ones I got are Lot 080323 exp 04/2025. Can you comment on this discrepancy. I dont like deviating from instructions on the packet, but 4 strips per hive effectively makes it twice the cost that you indicate on website and on this video

Hi I'm planning on getting into beekeeping next year and hoping to purchase one of these style of hive what advise would you give and also how many top bars does this hold

Hi

Mine came without the plastic runners

Great idea in theory, BUT, when using in conjunction with a rapid round style feeder the eke isn't actually deep enough from looking at your video on the subject of this eke, so would still require another eke/shim to successfully use the rapid rounds 😢

If you have a mesh floor, do you still need to open up the entrance?

Great explanation and really appreciate it. I wish though that Thornes also offered top bars that are *FLAT* similar to "one piece bottom bars" without the additional 'wall' sticking out. Not only this uses less wood but also quicker to manufacture and very useful for those beekeepers who prefer to use wire to hold foundation wax inside the frame instead of covering the entirety of the frame with wax. I have been trimming those 'walls' off, on my table saw for years for the beekeeper I've been helping. This also makes a lot of sense in practical terms specially when you are cleaning and old brood frame with wax and all as there are no obstacles to work around.

Thanks for posting this. Would you please post a video showing how to assemble the motor that drives the rotating table? Thanks

Incredably impressive, i have shopped from thornes before and always though it was shipped for china, but seeing it all being made by hand in the UK means i will be shopping with you more often.

I was given a Langstroth hive for my birthday. These videos were invaluable in putting it together! ❤ I have a lovely new hive and frames for my bees.

after marking the last two holes you moved it backward when you removed your fingers i dont know why but the camera doesnt following you so its confusing me

Completely different method of securing to the way I use, though there's nothing wrong in that. It's an exellent device either way. Does anyone one who came up with the original design, please? I thought it was Willie Smith, but can find no evidence to support me in this.

Nifty!

Where is the entrance and what sort of mechanism is it?

At 6:27 14 x 12 side bars are 12" not 14" the bottom bars are 14"

Really helpful video, thank you Rebecca. Frame sizing and format can be very confusing for us beginners; this makes it much clearer. I did notice (3:53) that the bee space of the the DN1 and DN4 (Hoffman) appear to be different, despite both being a 22mm top bar width. Is it the case that Hoffman bee space is narrower, or is it an optical illusion?

The Rolls Royce

Brilliant you've made my mind up i'll be going for this stand

ENTRANCE BLOCK ; Nailing it in is inflexbile. Just have it sitting there is a pain. (Try to get it out and you'll just poke it in more.) So drill two holes just inside the entrance (on either side) and pop a wooden dowel ___^_ This way the block sits inthe entrance but you cannot push it in too far.

Very Nice 👍

The instructions are "so important"? Your instructions don't match the video! If I need to drill, why not tell me what size of bit to use instead of using a cut off nail? The instructions tell me to attach the runners as the first step before any nailing. It's great you provide a video, but you could give measurements of where to nail. This video goes too quickly for a complete beginner to follow. It requires too much rewinding, pausing, watching AGAIN to make it easy. Both your instructions and your video could be greatly improved.

Make sure the box is square BEFORE banging too many nails in. Recheck periodically. Would be useful to know how proud the runner needs to be above the sidewall.

One of my hives (a late-season split I bought in August) was getting totally hammered by the wasps until the HyfeGate came to the rescue. Although they are quite pricey for what they are, they work out better and are cheaper than hanging traps & buying bait, I highly recommend getting these and the metal plates. The bottom line is they really do work, and I will be buying more for my other hives this year. There is always room for improvement, so I would suggest being available in different colours, the periscope attachment would benefit from having attachment fitting like the metal plates quick release and if was just a couple centimetres taller it would also fit more hives with disc entrances, such as the Queen Rearing 8x Nuc from Hyde Hives.

I’ve assembled the brood box and when I place the frames in they aren’t perfectly flush with the top of the box, is this an issue?

Okay here goes nothing... 😁

It's too expensive for plastic. Make a bold discount and I'll buy one.
