Great video, you will enjoy the your new bee adventure. You will have some ups and downs, especially when your whole hive decides to swarm and you lose all of them, believe it happens. I would stay with the mid size frame and boxes the boxes are pretty heavy when they are full of honey, I have kept bees off and on for 40 years. The stings hurt less and less the more you get. Good luck.
Good luck to you. A good book is 'Beekeeping, A Practical Guide' by Richard Bonney to get you started. https://www.amazon.com/Beekeeping-Practical-Guide-Richard-Bonney/dp/0882668617/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1517025592&sr=8-1&keywords=beekeeping+a+practical+guide
Bees is where it gets real. Nothing will test and stretch your patience and determination like bees. 🙂 enjoy and good luck!
Cool! I have been looking into adopting some bees!
Good luck with your bees! I have 5 hives. Hopefully they all made it through the winter. Will find out in Spring.
Can't wait for the bee's video's
Good luck with your new adventures!
I'm signed up for a class in Cumming GA.
The best of luck being a Bee Keeper.You will do great i'm sure.Have fun.I love Savannah Bee Company and the Tupelo Honey.They have a whole line of Bee products.Take care you all.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡………
Nice to see the southern statues and the cannons!
Here in VA the statues are coming down because people do not understand there history!
I came across another video about setting up bees for the first time. They said you need to leave them completely alone for a week, so they settle in and call your bee house home. Good luck on your Bee Adventure, many of us will be excited to follow along with you.
Welcome to my home state!
Hello: You are a busy Bee.
This is a long term goal for me and my wife.
That is something I would like to do, but we can have hives in the city. So, I though about carpenter bees. I am studying up on them or the mason bees.
Great to see you are getting into bees! I'm more than happy to help you out should you have questions or anything, just give me a shout! Good luck
Did you get your bees there as well? You are brave!
You were in my neck of the woods. I get my honey there. Have lived here for 60 years. Good luck with your bees!!!
Bees!!! Am taking a class now about beekeeping and becoming beekeeper… it’s in my future plan.. wish you the best with the bees..
What an exciting process! Thanks for sharing!
I hope you bee-haved yourselves in Georgia lol !! i glad you got everything you needed to start your Bee adventure
it's a bit sad that I live vicariously through you. thank you for sharing. the only thing I'm able to do regarding bees is to help the ones that get tired, the ones that crash to the ground. I mix up a small amount of sugar water for them to drink to pep them up; I keep them warm when it's chilly outside, by blowing my warm breath into my cupped hands around them. usually only deal with one bee at a time, but I find them frequently in my tiny yard. I help when I can.
Glad you had a good time here in Georgia! Bees have been kept on our farm years ago on a sort of barter arrangement as there is sourwood here. We do have lots of healthy bees and an active colony in an actual Winnie the pooh hole in a sycamore tree!
The family loves honey and we buy local, but have been nervous to try this. My Dad carried an epipen for a bee allergy and I can still see the reaction he had after cycling into a traveling swarm.
How exciting! What a cool store. We are getting our bees in April. 🙂
What does it cost to start
Really glad you are adding the Ham Radio to the conference! We are hams in our house. I've been a ham since 1992, Kd6saj, that's my call sign. Great thing to learn. I love bees too. I taught Bee Keeping to 4Hers a couple years ago. Great stuff.
I am getting into beekeeping this spring and decided to go with top bar hives. I like to go more 3rd world when I can.
