Do I Need a Resource Hive?

In this video I tell you what a resource hive is and what it will do for you. Also, I show you how we use resource hives and nuc boxes here in Florida.

What do I want you to take away from this video? Having a resource hive can save your best colony of bees from disaster. It gives you the ability to add a queen, brood or food resources to a hive when the problem is small. It also gives you the ability to boost a strong hive into honey-producing superstar status. Whether you are a backyard beekeeper or a large-scale honey producer, I feel that along with varroa mite control, a resource hive is a most essential tool in the arsenal of a successful beekeeper.
