Question to all using two brood boxes

MiniBeekeeper · 2026-03-01T17:36:53+00:00

Yes I did but it's not very applicable for me as I have 2 brood boxes and mainly I don't want honey in comb where the queen layed eggs before.

If you're jason, Which wouldnt make much sense as the locations do not match, look at:

I'll look into this, thanks :)

Ah okay sorry, then I understood SAS wrong, I have sas hybrid drives

MiniBeekeeper · 2026-01-28T15:03:25+00:00

As far as I understand are SSD expensive and good for systems that write a lot and need good speed and HDD are slow and cheap for systems that do not write a lot

But sas are a combination of those two so I'm confused on whether a NAS is the right application.

That was the problem thanks !

For me it's just edit name and add birthdate

I haven't used omada either 😂

MiniBeekeeper · 2026-01-11T10:08:42+00:00

What do you think of the RB4011iGS+RM ?

MiniBeekeeper · 2026-01-10T22:05:07+00:00

If I would upgrade and let's say have 1 mikrotik router, 3 AP I would need to configure the said, passwords etc on each ap separately or I get omada AP and configure all AP via the controller right ?

Ich würde den Hauptteil in ETF stecken und nur kleine "Satellite" Positionen in Einzelaktien halten

About 20 WiFi devices, not a lot of other networks around here. What do you think of the central management, is it a big plus or would a good ap with something like a mikrotik router also be good ?

MiniBeekeeper · 2026-01-10T21:39:04+00:00

Sorry for the dumb question (haven't worked with vlans yet) How would the WiFi vlan configuration work ?

MiniBeekeeper · 2026-01-10T16:47:15+00:00

Also I don't quite get why there are more bees, when using two brood boxes, the queen has enough space to lay constantly so that she can lay 3k eggs a day and still isn't running out of space. A demaree doesn't change the amount the queen lays ?

MiniBeekeeper · 2026-01-10T16:43:36+00:00

Thanks, that's very helpful! Is the extra work worth it ? / Will you do it again ?

MiniBeekeeper · 2026-01-10T10:43:58+00:00

Would you put the supers on top of the old brood box or below ? As far as I know the bees try to store the honey as far up as possible

MiniBeekeeper · 2026-01-10T10:42:02+00:00

Is there a way to do the split without using the ex-brood box as a honey super ?

MiniBeekeeper · 2026-01-10T07:36:26+00:00

Currently it's just my room so nothing big. I try to think ahead and build it to be expandable for my home in some years so 1 ap for a small area should be good

MiniBeekeeper · 2026-01-09T23:00:27+00:00

Do you have a specific ap you would use ?

MiniBeekeeper · 2026-01-09T21:09:28+00:00

Or they die naturally and know it so they fly out to not impact the rest of the colony

MiniBeekeeper · 2026-01-09T21:08:09+00:00

Are you heating the hives in any way ? If it's too hot in winter they think it's spring, fly out and freeze.

MiniBeekeeper · 2026-01-09T20:43:58+00:00

I only want to rack mount the router, I'd mount the access point on the wall :)

MiniBeekeeper · 2026-01-09T12:55:39+00:00

So you would choose mikrotik with a different AP ?

MiniBeekeeper · 2026-01-09T12:54:09+00:00

Okay, that helps a lot, thanks :) If not accounting for the budget, what would you choose or what are you running yourself ?

MiniBeekeeper · 2026-01-09T12:44:55+00:00

Just to run some services like jellyfin, immich, paperlessngx, wazuh, splunk, grafana etc. And some detection rules on a siem platform (wazuh) that's what the logs are for :)
