    Older video, so,apologies for asking a question now! But is there a reason why the screen was not inserted earlier, while skimming the wax out with the jug. Just to push the slumgum down and get a head start on the reclamation process? seems like you could do it then, skim the wax. Add extra wax scraps and more water and go again to reclaim?

    Betterbee frames: Top Bar is 3/4" thick, end bars are 3/8" thick and the bottom bar is 1/2" thick. All the joints are glued and stapled, but they do have the empty gap at the end of the bottom bar joint. I found one side bar that was only 5/16" thick. Maybe their machine was out of adjustment. 🐝🐝

    I’m not sure this is a fair comparison . How do you know what their frames are like when you haven’t bought in a long time and you are comparing a frame that has sat out in your bee yard for who knows how long? I just bought frames from Mann Lake. The quality seems great and my bees are drawing them out really fast. Whenever I’ve had a problem I just call and they made it right.

    • @kamonreynolds
      @kamonreynolds 9 часов назад

      Hi Gardengirl thanks for chiming in and hopping on. I do spend about 365 days of the year working with bees, bee companies, expos and speaking gigs so I see many of these companies on the regular and communicate with them often. I haven't purchased boxes in 3-4 years from them but I definitely keep an eye and ear open to any and all changes that happen in the industry. I still have some of Mann Lakes stuff from 10+ years ago and it is better than what I can get now. Mann lake isn't a bad company but I don't like the trend of thinner wood and lower quality wood. I agree they will make it right but I have lived thru years when they were so good they didn't hardly ever have to.

    • @kamonreynolds
      @kamonreynolds 3 дня назад

      I don't get paid to do these videos. If I did I wouldn't be showing a comparison of the HillCo frame. Commercial guys use ML because they are cheaper to buy not because they are better. I know many guys who use other brands. The ones who flip equipment on the regular can use ML stuff without having to deal with any of the long term ramifications

    • @Lousbees
      @Lousbees 3 дня назад

      ​@kamonreynolds thank you for the response! The folks I know are in it for pollination services and honey, so they live with the frames as long as they last. We compare notes on equipment all the time. They use Mann Lake frames for a few reasons - best lifetime value is the main reason. Also ML's Rite Cell is the best foundation on the market - much sturdier than any of the competition. Some people also like that ML frames and foundation are 100% made in America. They have new management. You should give them another try!

  • @cairnparadigm
    @cairnparadigm 4 дня назад

    I never liked checkerboarding they seem to draw out the comb on the old frame too much. I found that putting 9 new frames in a 10 frame box with one drawn comb the bees would draw out all the comb evenly. In the second use I would switch to 9 frame for honey storage in a 10 frame box. Love the information and video's Kamon.

      Several things help on the outside. I use a saltwater/vinegar mixture to kill weeds and grass like 10 feet from my hives. 😢 should use beneficial nematodes all under and around the hives. You'll need a sprayer with water to keep the ground moist for 2 weeks. I water until it rains. This year, you need more traps and when the tem cools, use checkmite+. I have only seen a handful of beetles this year. They only saw me for a second. I had issues a few years ago. That is my way, and I'm positive there are many better ways out there.

    First!! Hey Kamon, what you just showed in the video is exactly what I have been doing this year, a lot of times the outside frames don’t get drawn out fast like the center ones do, so I slowly move a couple of outside frame a little more towards the center and they draw it out really quickly. I have had good success doing that. The bees will eventually draw the outside frames if you dont move the towards the center but takes much longer, that’s what I have seen at least. have a wonderful day Kamon

    Our frames are cut and assembled by by an Amish shop in PA. Glued and Stapled. I was having the same issues with Dadant and Mann Lake you are having. Neither of those two are reliable and don't stand behind their product. The Amish frames are 7/8" top bar width, bottoms are full 1/2", side bars are full 1/2".
