How To Start Beekeeping in 2024

[Music] hi I'm Laura Edwards and welcome back to my youtube channel today we're going to be looking at the top 20 tips if you're starting out in beekeeping so first thing to say is thank you for watching my videos if you have any specific requests for any product tutorials or product reviews please let me know hit the subscribe button below we've now reached over 100 subscribers so we can have a watermark in the bottom right hand corner so if you're enjoying this video please hit the subscribe button below if you hit the bell that's on the homepage as well you'll get notified each time a new video is posted so what's today's video about now when I first started beekeeping I read a lot of books but there wasn't really anything to kind of give me a hit list of the main things that I should be looking out for so hopefully I'm just going to give you my top 20 tips when you're kind of starting out beekeeping and what to look out for so a quick reminder please subscribe to the YouTube channel we're going to have lots of videos upcoming this season if you've never done an inspection before we're going to be recording them via our GoPro so we're going to strap the GoPro onto my chest here and maybe do some live streams of the inspections that we do on a weekly basis the videos might necessarily might not necessarily kind of cover specific tutorials but what edit those out and do them as separate videos but you'll get a real flavor of kind of going through each five maybe 20 or 30 at a time and looking for the different things and get like a real-time view of what we're actually doing during our spectrums so onto the top 20 tips for starting out beekeeping so number one allergies now it goes without saying this is probably a good place to start but if you've got allergies to bee stings or any other insect stings then maybe you need to kind of think whether beekeeping is the right hobby for you you get stung a lot there's no getting away from it if you're a beekeeper you do gets done a lot especially if you're a beginner it doesn't matter how many kind of different suits you put on or have had it out you are you will get stung even if that's just one hive so one sting is all it can take if you've got a bad to be allergy so just you need to understand if you've got really bad B allergies probably not the best hobby for you so we get that one out of the way first and then you can switch off if you've got the allergies if you haven't got the allergies please keep watching the other you know a bit better than that establish your priorities now I didn't do this when I started beekeeping I just jumped in at the deep end and I know some people would be like that and you won't want to watch all the top 20 tips and that's fine and that's a really good way and some people do learn very well like that but for me I wish I had established my priorities at the beginning because it would have helped me kind of further one down the line and when I say establish your priorities I mean just kind of have a think about why you're interested in beekeeping so are you interested in in helping save the bees are you interested in maximizing your honey crop as much as possible are you interested in just sitting there and watching them do you want them in your garden do you want to grow to become a beekeeper do you want to get family members involved but there's all these different questions that you need to ask and until you establish those priorities it's quite difficult to kind of understand the journey that you're on and so some people they're not interested in honey and I get that they just want to kind of help the bees and put bee beehive in their garden or on their bit of land and do their bit just to kind of increase the bee population now if you're doing that you don't necessarily need a hive you maybe have like a big old log or something and you could maybe a tractor swarm to go into that log and then you've got a nice wild feral colony that you can keep in your garden and for some people that's great when you've got a nice wild feral colony of bees in your garden and you haven't got to do anything with them and they might die and they might swarm but another swarm will probably come back over and take over that space so if you're interested in it for those reasons just just get a attractive wild feral swarm look at some of the the options on the market for that or try and kind of like maybe create a ply box and match it to the top of a tree or something a tractor swarm and just leave them leave them to kind of get on with it I personally wouldn't recommend that I don't think it's ideal for kind of disease control you want to have moveable frames want to be able to inspect your colony half the fun for me is getting in and kind of seeing the progress throughout the season so you have small overwinter clusters and then they begin to expand and then you see the floes and you can kind of hear the roar of the bees like it is genuinely quite exciting so for me those are the reasons but yet establish your priorities do it one hive to hive ten hives hundred hives do you want honey just kind of write it down to have a little bit of a plan join your local beekeepers association a lot of people get bees and then think I better go and join the bee keepers Association I recommend doing it the other way around so there's beekeeping Association absolutely everywhere so if you just put in your address I think you can actually search for it on the BBK a website find your local beekeeper Association go along to a few meetings meet some local beekeepers and they can really kind of help you out on your journey to becoming a beekeeper and I'll touch on a number of the other aspects of why that's a good idea later on in this video but it's just a good idea to kind of register for your local beekeepers Association but the very big hands-on experience this is one of the benefits that you get from joining your local beekeepers Association they have a paris' they all have a Perez's maybe 10 or 12 hives in and they use them to do demonstration days so you know do taste the days for free you can do one-day training courses whatever three-day training courses no teacher about Queen rearing they offer a huge range of information for beginner beekeepers that the drive from them is to get people in to keeping bees and then kind of support them throughout their journey and the reason I pull out hands-on experience is a specific top tip is that you might not like it you might kind of find that it's a little bit overwhelming and that you don't like the bees flying around your face so why wait until you bought your own bees because if you buy your own bees and then you're not too keen on actually going in and doing the weekly inspections you're more likely to kind of neglect them and then they'll probably swarm and then you'll just give up so get some hands-on experience first realize that you actually do kind of enjoy the Hobby before diving in and getting your bees read some books I've read loads of bee books and I tend to get to kind of like page four or five and then I just kind of skip through them and look at the pictures but they are there are really really good sources of information and if you're the kind of person that as orbs information through reading and I suggest read as many books as you possibly can some are a bit outdated now some are better than others so I'll put a list across the bottom of this page and maybe some in the comments below my top three recommendations for bee books watch youtube videos so you can already tick this one off your list cuz you're watching my video which is great please hit the subscribe button below and the Bell notification and then you'll get a notification for every single video we put on here this is my way of learning I will learn really really well kind of through watching I tend to kind of work better through doing but in absence of being able to actually do it I like to watch it and see how you channel but yeah watch as many YouTube videos as you can there are some absolutely incredible beekeepers on YouTube and they really do document the kind of processes they use very well and it's just good to watch those in advance of kind of coming across them so you might for example watch a video on chalk road and then you'll understand that chalk fruit isn't the worst disease in the world it's not gonna kill your hive unless you kind of do very easy maneuvers and manipulations so the number one way of stopping short breweries to wean Queen if if a queen is susceptible to choke through you will get a chalk brood in the hive which can kind of limit the amount of buildup that they do in the spring so if I if I talk for it in my hive I swap the Queen out and I put another queen in and that tends to resolve it it could also be the way that the moisture and the ventilation moves through the hive so it might be that you've got a solid floor and that you've got a lot of chalk fruit so you put a mesh floor on and then that will resolve the issue so they're just that's just one example of an issue that you might watch a YouTube video on you know it you understand it so when you kind of come to review it or when you come across it when you're inspecting your own bees you don't panic and you can take positive action reserve your bees a few of the late of topics talk about kind of buying stuff I'd really I would reserve your bees first so I would speak to kind of local nuke producers may speak to your local beekeeping Association to see if someone local to you could provide you with a nuke for the upcoming season we provide nukes at Black Mountain honey we have a very limited waiting list this year so if you live in the North Wales area and you're looking for a locally adapted nuke for spring 2020 please drop me a message and I'll get back to you but you want to reserve your bees as early as possible in the year what you're looking for in the spring is that you want preferably a nuke so I preferably an over wintered Queen and it can either be in a nuke or a full hive you will pay a different amount for I would always recommend for beginners though is to go for the nuke now the reason I say that is that although it's a smaller package what you're getting is a fresh colony if you buy it in the hive you're probably going to get the hive and the body and stuck with it and then you're talking about potential kind of transmittal of diseases you might have to torch the hive you don't know kind of what diseases have been present within that hive whereas with a nuke all you're doing is you're buying the frames and the bees and then you'll just install that into your own equipment so you know that there's been no kind of disease transfer within the actual equipment so you could still get disease transfer within the frames but if you're buying it from a reputable new provider that should be very limited I wouldn't order the bees through the post so there's a number of suppliers that will send you nukes through the post and it does work but I just think if for a beginner you probably want someone who you can ask questions to as opposed to like a big company who's dealing with maybe thousands of nukes in a year so you're best off kind of going for locusts a local supplier to reserve your nukes buying your equipment so once you have reserved your nukes you know what standard frame you're going to use I would recommend for people in the UK to go with the National that's just and the reason for that is that it's the most widely a commonly used frame in the UK so you can it just helps enemies their business planning a bit cheaper and a lot of the other frame sizes work really really well though I think if I was going to have my time again I'd probably go like stress I think that that works for a commercial environment the language of frame works a little bit better and the system works a bit better and you can use kind of one standardized box all the way up and you don't have your deep sand your shallows that would be my preference if I started to get inverted that's again probably time for another video so you need to buy your equipment and again do a lot of research but understand when you reserve your beads you need to know what size frames they're on and then you need to match that to the hives that you're gonna buy the options are pretty simple you either have a poly hive or wooden pipe again that's the subject of another video my recommendation would be to go for a poly hive other people say wouldn't hive so it's entirely up to you do your research and choose which high if you want the poly hives work out a little bit cheaper but not a huge amount cheaper if you're going to go wood I would recommend we're going with seconds equipment and the reason for that is just it's substantially cheaper than the first quality stuff and the difference in quality isn't isn't actually that big so I tend to go with a second's quality what are the big benefits for the beginner using poly hives though is that they can come ready assembled for a cheap price whereas they're ready assembled cedar hives or pine hives tend to be quite a lot more what you're looking for when you're buying your kit though you want to get like a ready assembled hive or like a kit so you want your floor you want your brood box you want a queen excluder you want a couple of supers maybe see if they'll give you three you want a crown board if you're using a crown board you want a roof you want somewhere feeding them that's really key I think a lot of people miss that out when they buy their hives get your feeder at the same time because when you come to install your nuke and we'll cover this in a later topic the first thing that I want you to do is to feed them every time you need to feed them there's no problem feeding a nuke and you need to do it so get your feeder when you buy your hive assembling the hive so we touched on it in the previous topic once you bought your hive it could be quite difficult to assemble it so if you're not the kind of person who enjoys putting together wood and doing woodworking I would strongly recommend a poly hive they're either ready assembled or they kind of click together in a very very simple fashion so you can kind of have your hive put together in maybe two or three minutes by protective clothing now I went through maybe three three or four bee suits before I settled on the BC bar that I wear often today and the reason that I went through three or four is that they failed so either a zip broke or kind of a hem came loose and ute there's kind of so many bee suits on the market at the moment and some of the quality is quite poor so spend your money wisely and get a really really good quality bee suit I would I would either go for a bee bee wear suit or I would go for a bj sheriff suit they're really the two options I would go for you're going to be spending probably more on your protective clothing than you are on your hive it's probably a good measure to kind of go by actually because you don't want the cheap suits you want to go for a good quality suit by either one of those manufacturers they've brought out a lot of mesh suits seems to be quite fashionable at the moment and these mesh suits they have three layers of mesh and that stop the bee stinging you as per the normal suits but they actually let the air circulate as well so instead of becoming a hot sweaty mess come the end of the day of inspections it's quite like you can just have shorts and t-shirt on underneath and be like quite cool I've not actually tried them myself so I think I'll have to get one of those for myself this season and give it a bit of a review what I've heard though it could be a bit of an issue kind of snagging on brambles and it tearing so maybe not suitable for people in extreme environments but I think if for backyard beekeepers it would be absolutely fine and anything to kind of keep the heat out it's definitely a good thing another thing that you need to look for is gloves I've tried numerous different gloves I've tried beekeeping without gloves you need to get a set of gloves that that works well for you the ones that I use I use a latex dip gauntlet style that comes up to about here so it stopped these getting in or up through the cuffs there and it's a thick plastic now some people don't like that because they say they lose kind of dexterity and the ability to feel stuff I find they work really really well it's all about getting the right fit so if you go to see you in Jones then they have all the different sizes of glove and you can try them on and get the one that fits you really really nicely and they work great so you need good good protective full bodysuit I'd always recommend going for a full body suit over a smock or kind of a half fitting one like that I find the bees can just go up there and especially if you've got like some bees that aren't particularly nice they find their way in and it's not nice getting stung and they're around the torso area so I always go full body suit and I always wear wellies and I wear wellies on the outside so I kind of tuck the end the trousers down underneath and in the well ease up that stops any bees coming in through there and then I wear the full gauntlet style gloves and then that gives you really really good protection I prefer the fencing style mask and I wear a cap underneath with a peak to stop it coming into my face and I find with all that protective equipment I'm relatively well secure from being stung by your accessories so have a think before you go and kind of like start buying single hives or protective clothing online try and plan out a bit of a list of what you need to buy there's loads of stuff that you need that you probably don't think about I mentioned one earlier get a feeder now whether that's a frame feeder or an Ashforth feeder or a built in feeder think about that you definitely need some sort of some sort of feeder for your bees in order to give them sugar syrup you're going to need a hive tool and there's two or three different types of hive tool on the market so if you go down to your bee keepers Association they can show you the different tools and you can have a field some people prefer the j-hook ones other people further standard ones I'm not first I just as long as I've got something to kind of crack the boxes open where that that will do for me there's tons and tons of other accessories that you will need but there's no point going through them all now because you only need them what you want to do in your beekeeping so if you want to get into kind of rearing your own Queens have a look at the Queen rearing accessories page there's tons of different little mini after days and boxes and frames and queen cells and egg cups and grafting tools and there is there's so many there so don't don't go wild and order everything at the beginning all you need is you need your hive your protective clothing your bees a frame a tool and a feeder and I think you're pretty much set to go timing as with most things timing is critical and you don't want to be starting beekeeping late in the autumn or in the winter anybody's selling you kind of notes or colonies over winter I'd be a little bit suspicious of that there's kind of a day in maybe April May that we call the crossover day and that basically means there's a day where the queen is laying sufficient amounts of groomed to keep that colony alive throughout the season now you can really tell where that day is because the colony seems to plod along kind of up to April and then it just goes boom like that and it really expands at a rapid rate you can see that expense kind of over a week so you come back in and you see that they've kind of doubled in size you know that they've reached that point that is when you should be buying your MOOC that's the best time of the year so the planning is key you need to kind of maybe you maybe you think about it in September or October so you might want to get into beekeeping that's a good time to go and talk to these beekeepers and say why can I be first on your list for an overwintered mute for next season then it gives you all of the winter to kind of read your books watching YouTube videos maybe do some training courses that you're Vico it bee keepers Association you're gonna get your nuke kind of in April May and then you can install it and that that's the kind of plan that you really want to be on anytime throughout the summer though is fine so if you're kind of coming to it late in May or June and someone offers you a new kind of up to June that's acceptable in my view as long as it's a nice big strong loop but then your aim is is to kind of build that colony up and get it nice and strong for winter you're probably not going to get much of a honey crop in the first a pari they need to think about where where you want to keep your a curry I think most people start in their back garden I certainly started in my back garden I had at one point four colonies in a back garden that was maybe 10 by 15 meters that was fun I'm not sure the neighbors thought it was so fun and then we moved to Wales I had about 30 colonies in a slightly bigger garden got a considerably bigger garden but it was still it wasn't land it was a garden and I think that was pretty irresponsible of me to be honest so you need to think about where you're gonna keep your bees if you've got suitable land or you've got a suitable space kind of within your garden then fine but really kind of look for some nice gentle bees if that's what you're gonna go for you don't want aggressive bees in your garden because your neighbors won't be happy with you yes your pets will probably get stung your children will probably get stung like it you see the pictures and the videos on YouTube of nice kind of friendly beehives and people walking past them and yet some some bee colonies are like that but also some are really really aggressive so doing we work with our bees and we try and reduce that if we find colonies that are really aggressive we just weari Queen them with a different Queen one that's proven to be a bit more gentle I mean there's other factors in play we need to look at kind of about the disease resistance and the ability for them to produce honey but you don't want grumpy bees in your garden so just ever think about where you're gonna keep an apiary and is it in your garden is it going to be somewhere else I recommend somewhere else and I recommend somewhere kind of out of sight have a look at my other video setting up out a paris' we go through top 20 tips for setting up out a paris' and again if you subscribe to the video below and hit the notification button you'll see all of the new videos coming in and you can click on that one and have a look but I do recommend viewing it and try to think about where you'd like to keep your bees planning now you need to have a little think about how you're going to manage your be so once you've got them and you've installed them you need to be doing your weekly inspections think about when when's a good time for you to do your weekly inspections try and get a bit of a schedule in place Rigby's do need regular inspections you need to inspect them once a week because you're looking for if you looking for swarm sales and the idea for me anyway is to stop the bee swarming and maximize the honey crop whilst keeping gentle and disease-free bees I mean they're they're my main objectives yours may be slightly different to that if you don't inspect them regularly they will swarm or almost guaranteed in the first year if you just left them there and didn't inspect them they would swarm that's that is what bees like to do so you need to kind of plan your time I have a set day each week where I go and inspect all of my colonies I work a full-time job so I have to do that at the weekend so Saturday is my day I'll just get up early in the morning go out inspect all of my colonies and then that's the way that I do it and it works well if you've just got one or two hives it really doesn't take that long but for me it's its absolute maximum ten minutes a hive there's no need to be in the hive any longer than that and a lot of the inspections are probably just two or three minutes like if I've got a colony that's not even filling all of the frames highly highly unlikely they're gonna swarm so I might just look at a couple of percent of frames check to see whether there's actually eggs there a quick glance for some swarm sales and then I'm done so just ever think about how your lifestyle is going to kind of blend in with your beekeeping lifestyle and plan when you're going to do your inspections register your bees now there is a website called be based calm and if you go onto there and register your a parade the seasonal be inspector who reports up to the regional bee inspector will get an alert to say that there's a new beekeeper in his area and now these seasonal B inspectors go around and do inspections of all April's within their area as best as they possibly can but what they really focus on is going next do any areas where there's been reported outbreaks of disease they will go and inspect all of the colonies near there so if you register on B base you'll probably get in contact with your seasonal B inspector and then he'll probably come and do a joint inspection of your bees with you now these guys are fantastic and they've got a wealth of knowledge and they're quite happy to do join me in a joint inspection with you and you can ask as many questions as you want and hopefully your bees will be 100% disease-free I've never had a seasonal be inspect to find any trace of any major disease at all other than maybe a bit of junk food so register your bees talk to the bee inspectors it's actually quite a fun day they'll have a cup of tea with you and kind of chat if they've got time as well so it's a good idea to get them registered inspections now touch something inspections before but that really is kind of like a critical part of beekeeping fleet please don't be one of these beekeepers that buys their bees and just lets them get on with it if you want to do that try an attractor swarm and let them kind of be a feral hive you're much better off planning your inspections and kind of getting in there and doing it on a weekly basis and actually managing the bees effectively then you're a responsible beekeeper because you're looking for disease and trying to stop disease and the spread of disease you're stopping them swarming which if you're in an urban environment is good you don't want swarms kind of going flying around the neighborhood gives beekeepers a bad name and all of these issues can be prevented by kind of a regimented and suitable inspection regime and it takes no no longer than 10 minutes per hive as we spoke about before so just get in there do your inspection and and that'll keep everyone happy what I would do is that if you subscribe to the bottom below the button below and hit the notification we're going to do a video as soon as it as soon as it allows us to in the spring we'll do what a ten minute inspection looks like so it would go through one of our colonies and we show you exactly what we do kinda from the beginning to the end show you exactly how you complete an inspection for the bees double up so my advice is don't buy one hive if you can afford it go for two go for two notes two hives and it makes a lot of sense managing two Ives you get the economy of scale in terms of inspections you only have to like the smoker once for example but what it enables you to do is that you can swap elements of the colony between the two hives so for example if you've got one colony this weaker than the other one and there's no kind of diseases present you can kind of balance them out a little bit even them out and then you should have two relatively strong colonies but the bigger one is that you reduce the risk of both of them failing overwinter so if you've got one hive and it fails overwinter you're back to square one and you need to buy another nuke and start again if you've got two hives and one of them fails overwinter it's very easy to make a new colony from the hive that's made it through the winter so I mean you could you could just do like a walkaway split if you wanted to let them create their own Green through the emergency impulse where you can buy animated Queen and do a split are there's numerous things that you could do but it just gives you that bit of insurance to stop all of your bees kind of collapsing over winter so I'd always recommend if if you've got the money to do it double up and go for two hives as opposed to one don't be afraid of your bees it can definitely seem a little bit daunting at first keeping bees and especially doing the inspections but as I've said before in this video you need to do your regular inspections so if you're going to find beekeeping to be a daunting pastime then you should probably work that out before you go ahead and buy your B so join your local beekeepers association get some hands-on experience and work out if it's like the right hobby for you but then just kind of generally don't be afraid don't be afraid to try different stuff out with the bees as well so they're very very resilient if you follow me on Twitter you'll see a post that I put on recently with some bees overhanging completely exposed next to a church so they weren't even in a hive so you can kind of mess around with bees as much as you possibly want there very resilient organism and they will kind of handle most things that you throw at them and that's not to say let's go and experiment on them and see how difficult we can make life for them you're kind of role as a beekeeper is to make them as healthy as possible and make them live kind of like a good thriving life and give you honey at the same time but don't be afraid to experiment don't be afraid to do splits and if you've got those two hives you can kind of experiment a little bit more so it like I say but don't be afraid of the bees and don't be afraid to experiment so we're moving into a couple of topics now about actually when you get your bees I thought it'd be quite a nice way to finish off the video is actually kind of getting your bees and showing you what to do with them what we'll do is we will once the season is upon us we'll post a couple of videos showing you exactly how to kind of how to install a package of bees how to install a new cough bees and talk you and walk you through all of the steps so again hit the subscribe button and you'll see those videos pop up on your your feed but yeah once you get this note you will need to install it the best way I found of install in the nooks is you generally get it in a container so maybe like a coax newt container I find that if you take your hive off the stand where it's going to be in a spinal position and put it somewhere else take your nuke this inner core acts like a transport package and put that on the stand with the entrance of the nuke facing out to where the entrance of the Beehive will be and then you open normally has like a little sticky tab or something you open that tab tape it up and walk away and leave it for a couple of hours and what will happen is that the bees will start to kind of orientate though start to fly out you'll see tons of activity they don't know where they are so they do these orientation flights to try and triangulate that position so it's very important to get them in the position that you want to now once you've done that you leave it for a couple of hours you come back you remove the note put it off to one side and you take your hive back and you put that on the position where the bees have triangulated in on now what that means is that all of your Luke bees are over there in the note and all of the flying bees are coming back into your hive so they found where their home is and that's that's exactly how you need to do it and then what you do is is you open up your hive you take out your six frames because you've got six frames in your nuke and put them to one side and then you take out your frames from your nuke one by one and you transfer them over into your hive in the same order and that they were in the nuke and what I always like to do and if I'm installing a nuke for someone I'll always make sure that they see the Queen just spot the Queen make sure she's there make sure she's not dead and I'd look for some eggs as well so you want to kind of see brood in all stages capped brood eggs larvae you want plenty of stores that's what you should get in a good quality nope that's when you're getting all the nooks and black mounds in honey transfer them over put a crown board on and then we move on to our next topic feeding now I always always always recommend feeding your nuke as soon as you get it if you've installed it into a hive you've got six frames of either stores or brood in all stages and then you've probably either got four or five additional frames in that brood box that if you're a beginner is going to be foundation that's all you're going to have so there's absolutely no harm whatsoever and it really gives them a good boost to get some liquid feed into them at that point so you want to go for one one-to-one sugar syrup so that's sugar syrup that's one liter of water it's a one kilogram of sugar and you just heat that up to kind of 40 or 50 degrees let it melt let it cool back down and then you feed that to the bees and you probably want to give them four or five liters of this but you need to monitor it and see you don't want to overfeed them but what you're trying to get to the point out is that they expand within that road box and all of that foundation is drawn out now you don't want to get to the point where they start filling the drawn foundation or the drawn comb with the sugar syrup you're taking it too far then but you just want to get them to that point where all of that foundation is drawn out into comb that means that the Queen can start laying in there she'll expand her brood nest and then hopefully expand up into the honey supers and get you a honey crumb have fun it's supposed to be a hobby now I have it all the time where I'm cursing about stuff going wrong with the bees or dropping buckets of honey over or I don't know the amount of mistakes you make in beekeeping can can be a real frustration and losing colonies is also like a real frustration as well but do try and understand like it is supposed to be a hobby you're supposed to be having fun and I find it very kind of meditative so if you if you're in a nice quiet location and you're there with your smoker and you can just kind of work the bees like it's a real therapeutic hobby and and good for people who maybe like suffer with depression or stress so just try and remember that it's supposed to be fun and don't get kind of too like caught up with all the issues and mistakes that you're no doubt will make so thanks that's it again from today's video top 20 tips for starting beekeeping I really do hope you're enjoying these
