Second Hand Beehives – What You MUST Do Before Using Used Hive Equipment

🐝 The Risks of Second Hand Beehives This video explains the essential steps every beekeeper must take before using second hand hive equipment. Used beehives can harbour serious pathogens, pests and residues that threaten colony health if they are not properly sanitised. Understanding how to prepare this equipment correctly helps beekeepers protect their bees and prevent the spread of disease within the apiary. 🔥 How To Make Second Hand Hives Safe We explore how to identify signs of previous disease, assess the structural integrity of the equipment and apply appropriate cleaning or sterilisation methods. From scorching wooden boxes to safely handling plastic or poly components, this video provides clarity on how to reduce risks while ensuring the equipment is safe for your bees. 🧼 Why Disease Prevention Matters Second hand equipment is one of the most common ways that brood diseases such as EFB and AFB are transmitted between apiaries. By following the precautions outlined in this video, beekeepers can minimise risk, protect colony health and make informed decisions about whether a hive is worth saving or should be safely discarded. 📘 Further Learning and Support If you want structured guidance to strengthen your beekeeping skills and make safer, more confident decisions, you can explore the 14 Day Beekeeper online training here: https://www.blackmountainhoney.co.uk/... and the course tracking link here: https://www.blackmountainhoney.co.uk/... and the gift card option here: https://www.blackmountainhoney.co.uk/...
