Splitting beehives using the Demaree method | Trying something new this year. #beekeeping #bees

This year I am going to try to accomplish two goals by using a swarm control method called the Demaree method. Goal one is to prevent the hives from swarming and goal two is to produce a massive honey harvest. Unlike previous seasons when I split off half of the colony into a separate box; this year I will try to trick the bees into staying put. The more bees in the box, the more nectar collected, the more honey to harvest. Let's hope it all works out. For more frequent updates in between videos please visit the Bug Farmer Instagram page:   / thebugfarmer   This Channel: Although this beekeeping channel is primarily about beekeeping I am also a quasi pepper who believes in becoming self-sufficient. With that in mind, I have started a garden, planted fruit trees, replaced the hedges in front of my house with blueberry bushes, and have recently built a chicken coop. In short, I will share a lot more than beekeeping on this channel. A little about me: I am a person who believes you are never to old to learn something. Be it beekeeping, farming, raising chickens, painting, filming and editing video, making wine, beer, bread, cheese, and other fermentation consumables, play guitar etc... If I see something I want to try I start it immediately. If there is one thing I could choose to pass along to my children this would be it. Never be afraid to try. My wife famously told me once that if you are not willing to be bad at something, you will never be good at it. I am bad at quite a few things. I hope you find my beekeeping videos fun and entertaining as well as get something out of them. I hope I inspire someone to get out and try something new. If you do enjoy my videos, please take a moment to spread the word about this channel and help it, and myself, grow. Have a great day and BEE Happy! ############################################################### The gear I use: Primary Camera: Sony FDRAX53/B 4K HD Secondary Camera: Sony FDRAX53/B 4K HD Primary MIC: Sony ECMXYST1M Stereo Microphone Secondary MIC: Sony ECMXYST1M Stereo Microphone Tripod: GEEKOTO Camera Tripod Editing Software: Adobe Premier Graphics Package: Adobe Photoshop Learning Final Cut Pro
