  4. Nice job…very informative. I like the fact that you place the bee package in the hive….much easier on the bees and the beek.

  11. This is one of the cleanest bee installations I have seen on the net… It makes great sense for the bottom screen and other ventilation/installation bits. In other videos people are banging the shipping box around to get the bees out of the container. Placing it in the hive makes more sense and is probably less stressful on the bees.

    Kudos, you rock! 5*

  13. Very Clean. This is the first time I have seen anyone put the package in the hive. That’s the way to do it.

    why is so much anger.you need to change your diet.maybe you need to start drinking pectin with honey. this would change your attitude to a more calm and positive one. peace bee with you. lol

  16. I would like to start my own bee hive. I have one question, though. Will the bee population grow out of control? I want to have maybe two bee hives; but I don’t want millions of bees sworming everywhere on my property.

    It appears from your video that the bees produce a lot of babies. Will they self-regulate their population based on how big the hive setup is? Or will they start finding other places to hide on my property?

    I would appreciate your advice.

    Yes I agree ,,, the method you use to get the bees from the container to the hive is the most quiet and least stressful on the bees, and I assume the bees eat through the marshmallow, not the queen eat the marshmallow?
