This women loves bees. Can't believe no one noticed the earrings, very cool.
Excellent video. Thanks!
[ agree…
Really interesting!
the keepers in my area only open the hives after brood season. The bees tend to be more docile and easier to work with at that time.
tobacco has been used for a long time for stings
This is such an informative video! I'm in South Florida and found a beehive wedged between storage boxes cover underneath a tarp. about 2 months ago. Your video is amazing! I wanna keep them, but some people say that I can't. Should a beekeeper be able to salvage it and set it up properly? Thanks!
This is the beat video I have seen on bee keeping. We are starting this year. Very excited. Love your video!!
A swarm of honey bees took over my elevated owl house and made it their home last Spring. I let them be. They love it, and they managed to perk my interest. They caused me to watched your fabulous, compassionate, and informative bee video. Now you and the "owlhouse" bees have provoked me to adopt these little buddies and get them a new and proper home. Thank you
You Just Changed My Whole World!!!
Was looking for the handouts and a post went to said was shut down temporarily…is there a way to still get the handouts?
Fantastic talk! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with such well articulated passion.
You said, 'one must treat bees or they die within 2 years'.
It's not true!
I didn't treat
I have over 40 colonies and sell some every year and produce honey.
My winter losses are consistently below 20% and often below 10%
Medication is only necessary if you are fighting nature.
When using good husbandry methods, with healthy bees, they do not need drugs or other treatments.
Apart from this, I love your approach to beekeeping and this video's style. And I'd be very happy to help you transition to treatment free beekeeping.
Tom Seeley, an excellent scientist and author of several books, including Honeybee Democracy, is also a great resource for treatment free beekeeping.
Pretty and so so informative!! Thank u Michelle from South Africa
Soo cool to watch!
Do the horizontal boxes and frames. They are better and easier to work with.
