How to Read a Frame When Checking Your Bees | What the Beekeeper Does

In this video I pull out each frame in a beehive and explain what’s happening on the frame. You’ll learn: • how to tell the difference between honey and nectar • what bee bread/pollen looks like • how to tell the difference between male and female baby bees • how to spot eggs, larvae and pupae • what to do when you see varroa mites, wax moth or small hive beetles • how to tell the difference between capped brood and capped honey Most importantly, I talk about what the beekeeper actually DOES when inspecting a beehive!
