This is the second step to install a bee package in your new hive. There are two videos in this post, each will show half of the process.
In this video, I drop the bees into their new home. There are approximately 4,000 bees in this package--and it always is a bit exciting to get them into their new home.
Before this step, I already installed the queen cage. Right before I start the drop, you can see her little cage inside the hive box.

Very interesting post!
Beekeeping can be a very profitable business. but when you know what you are doing.
It is a fact that the world is in need of honey bees since they help in the pollinating of plants and the honey produced is consumed by humans in it’s raw form and can be processed to make natural sweeteners....Thanks for this great and useful lesson
Yes it can. I don't really make any money doing it--mostly I just give the honey to family and friends. But I love taking care of the bees and I feel like I am helping nature just a bit by keeping my hives.
You are so generous by that way.
Thanks to you for helping nature.
I do not understand how to take care of bees, and frankly I was afraid of bees. because ever I experienced a bleak incident for me while cleaning my garden suddenly a bunch of bees attacked my body, so almost all my body bumps due to bee sting, especially part of my face. I accidentally destroyed the nest, I do not see the beehive because it is hidden in the leaves of the trees. I'm afraid of bees 😊
I enjoyed the first post, had to download it on my drive... I thought this part won't be released!... So glad am mistaken!... Thanks for this @bigpanda
Happy Steeming
I'm so pleased you enjoyed the first one so much you came back for the second.
Happy Steeming to you as well!
i like dtube channel..thanks for sharing homesteading..best of luck.
Thanks! I've got a few more videos I want to share about beekeeping but it may be a few weeks before I get them totally ready.
most welcome my dear!
Thank you very much for sharing the knowledge about bee-keeping techniques. Good luck always for you @bigpanda.
Thanks my friend. Have a lovely day.
You are welcome my friend 😊.
Bee maintenance is very difficult
It can be--or it can be fairly easy once you know how to do the steps. That is one reason I'm sharing videos--I think it is easier to do something once you have actually seen it done.
@bigpanda this is a great, you are so good in this enjoy and learn all you can. Have a incredible day
So kind of you to say, thanks! May you have a fantastic day as well.
interesting
Wow so nice!!
Thanks, I really enjoy keeping bees so it was a lot of fun to shoot this video.
Great work bro. Can i please have some fresh honey 😍
Let's talk in September after the new harvest--maybe I'll have a bit I can send your way. :)
Much appreciated bro. Cheers 🍻🥂
As always, @bigpanda you delivered a marvellous post which i really enjoyed....honestly im not sure i would have understood much if you had just written it out, but with the video it was easy to see how it was done. I'm still scared of bees though so i won't be starting a bee farm anytime soon😥, but im glad to atleast have the know how😏....so thanks once more.
Infact i liked it so much i will probably do a quick write up on bees so my followers will know a lil bit about that......also do you mind if i resteem your post?
Absolutely you can resteem--and thanks!
I agree-I can read something five or six times and still not be able to visualize the process--but if I can see it once, I typically can do it myself after that. The power of a picture (or in this case a video :) )
Take care of yourself, it is dangerous work! Good luck, thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for the good wishes--it isn't too dangerous with the proper clothing.
Thanks for this great and useful lesson ... #Resteemed

Thanks for enlightening us about bees keeping. No doubt this is a good business, as bees keeping can be commercialise by producing honey to earn income. With the tips that I learnt here, I will give it a trial. I follow and upvote you.
nice....
please supported me channel :)
Would never be able to do that! I have always had discomfort for bees! xD Upvoted!
Very help ful. post @bigpanda thanks for sharing us.
So that's how you keep beesy, very bee-eautiful project... I wonder what the honey will taste like :)
very nice and interesting.
Good post bro ^^
this is one business that can make money, in addition to honey can also help maintain stamina and health during pregnancy, and help the intake of high nutrients for the growth of a healthy fetus in the womb. this is amazing ..... hopefully imitated by every one.
this sounds to me interesting so I just open the post and will check #dtube for details, thanks for sharing!
@bigpanda
This is something I am so interested in doing, just need to get started, I live across the road from a forest and thought maybe I could set it up in the forest? Do you think that is a good idea.
Want to do it mainly to help sustain the bee population, I know it would be small, but I guess every little helps, and of course the honey would be "Shweet" pun intended.
thanks for posting
I bet it is hard to keep the bees alive. It is hard work being a bee keeper.
My family is bee lover, thank you for sharing such exquisite blog
I see your protected this time. :) So, the queen is a captive at this point? Or does she stick around on her own?
