Does the Guardian Entrance Work? Checking all of the hives for hive beetles and stores. This is the thirds video in the beetle series. We will be running through all of the hives looking for hive beetled to determine if the Guardian beetle entrance is working. During the inspection we explore some useful tips and dance to the great sound of the sting-o-meter.

If you would like to see the video that inspired me to use nickles under the inner cove to provide ventilation. You can click this link https://youtu.be/vxt7oD3nFv8 or you can visit @vinofarm on YouTube and view all of his videos. This guy has been my virtual mentor since his first season as a beekeeper and I think you will enjoy him too. I also found the video that starts the nickel venting. It was actually a suggestion provided to Vinofarm's Jim by Honey Bee Honey. here is the original video as well as a link to Honey Bee Honey's page. Both are great resources for beekeeping.

If you are considering installing a sustainable or edible landscape or becoming a beekeeper or starting beekeeping as a hobby this is the channel for you. I will show you everything I learned in my first years of beekeeping and you can learn with me as I experience and overcome the challenges I encounter in my second year and beyond. I will also feature some how-to videos because I am perpetually curious and creative and am always building something.

Thank you for visiting my channel and I really hope you like, subscribe, and ring the bell.
