Beekeeping week 1 Short Full Video https://youtu.be/1Gu3ddzZ8A4 April 2011 The honeybee videos are documentation of how I have raised bees. The videos are designed to record how I have done things. I don't prescribe that my methods of raising honey are for anyone to follow. There are many more enthusiasts out there promoting their methods. I studied the honey bee colony over several years. Although I don't keep bees anymore the lessons I learned and the impact on the food forest are life lasting. Watch how I install my first package of bees. 4-23-11 I was going say at this point how I spent the last weeks building a hive stand for my bee hive and setting up the bee hive in the yard. Plus some final prepping for the bees. But the Bees are here! I had spent the previous two weeks off and on planning for the arrival of the bees and doing my best as I have with my family and dog to make their new home as pleasant as possible. About 10,000 Russian honey bees arrived on the 25th of April. The day after Easter so it was a very well timed delivery. I had thought about delaying the delivery a month ago because doing something like made me want to do any thing wrong. But I brushed that fear to the side and stayed with the original date I decided on back in January. For now the hive needed to get outside. The outside of it has been treated with boiled linseed oil and an all weather sealant and now it was time to figure how I was going to place it on its deck. There are a number of different hive stand styles and they each have their own pros and cons. What I wanted to consider was protection from crawling insects like ants, protection from scavenging critters like raccoons and skunks and at the same time making it easy for me to access the hive and move around heavy parts. Thus, I decided on an elevated stand that was pretty simple to put together once I made up my mind. Like many things I do this is not something that I took directly from the internet but rather a combination of a few ideas. The plans for this hive stand design are listed in the show notes and are pretty straight forward. To protect the stand from the elements I coated it pretty well with some all weather sealant. Under the legs of the hive stand I placed some old coffee containers and then poured some motor oil into the containers. This will help keep ants and other crawling insects from making the bee hive their home too. These are the big blue feet you see under the stand.
