Reminded me of an 80's disco.

As Finski would say 'buy a mated queen'
 
I think it would help if he had more than a cup full of bees in those supers
upstairs bees dont know HM is in the basement !

I am by far a expert on the subject, however i would start panicking if that was all the bees i could see, when i whip my crown board of i am lucky if i can see the top bars.
 
thats my idea of a box ! top of frames with bees and a black mass between frames.
if there is no free room to be had soon then give em a box not before
 
Typical example of a video by a beekeeper with a little knowledge - proving the adage it's a dangerous thing :(

seems to be a new saying developing now - give a clown a video camera and yootoob and he thinks he's a bloody expert on everything!
 
:iagree:
"Frank" needs to read some textbooks and/or get himself a mentor to go with his nice new hives. Queenless and clueless at the moment!

how do that few bees defend the upper entrance that is cut out of the crown board from wasps and robbing? I am not a fan of american upper entrances

so how many errors

too much smoke
smoke not directed just puffed ( i only smoke gently the frame lugs and edges when closing)
elephant size leather gloves
does not close frames as he goes
inspects a super??? (i just feel its weight)

there must be more,i only skipped through it
 
I didn't understand why he broke the seal on the bottom of the box he was to examine. Plus the way he just cracked the frames apart.
It seemed that he'd picked up what little he knew from watching rather than doing.

I mean him no offence but he needs to be taught how to look after bees.

I would agree on that, it is at the turning point were you are more likley to watch " what NOT to do " rather than " what to do "

The person who should be asked why is his mentor ! or has this entity gone due to leading the horse to water and not being able to make it drink
