I really enjoy your videos. Do you think you might have time in the future to look at how your mechanical varroa controls are affecting your honey production. I'm not worried about honey as an amateur but obviously very important to professional beekeepers. Regards, Jamie.

Thank you sam gamgee

Ya I was going to ask you if it was soup yet .

That hoist alone was worth the price of the old truck. Looking forward to seeing it on the new truck. Crowbars and hammers are the tradies best tools! 😅

Isuzu engines run for years. Good choice.

Instantly recognised the bananas splits song. 😂

Excellent presentation and beautiful products. ❤

I LOVE YOUR ANTICS! Mercy, you couldnt script this much fun! 10:04

My only comment is to have a nuc ready to put nest and bees in for the time being, a vacuum is always handy!

The fact that he doent have a plan and makes mistakes only has a sympathetic affect on my interest. Does he know better? IDK Does he do this on purpose? IDK DOES IT MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING?😃👍👍👍💪💪Muscle on! Success is in the long run!😊

MBC??? Man Bees r Cool

You're my new favourite KZbinr.

Through all of your trials and trepidations I do believe you have proven bees to be more resiliant than we could ever imagine. Without trying our crazy schemes wed never have made it to the mood or scated on ice

Love the simple mandolin strumming

Put a gps locator on the hives. CA has the same problem

Australia has more pecans than any where else on earth, Las Cruces, southern New Mexico comes close at over 240k acres. Lived in CA and NM both

Almond trees in spring are like brides maids at a wedding, lovely. In Northern California, around Chico and Corning, we call them Amon trees cuz we, "Shake the L out of 'em" If you grow nuts or know nut growers you know what I mean. I guess not. We had a mechanism that reciprocated and literally shook the trees till the nuts fell off on the ground. After that they got scooped into wind rows and turned a few times. They used to raise geese under the trees to guard them but that got shut down in60s/70s for obvious reasons

Do not remove radiator cap WHEN IT IS HOT! YOU ARE LUCKY U R NOT IN THE HOSPITAL!

Leave the honey from the old hive for the bees to use in new hive. You might need another box on top to home that huge hive.

Got to see it 31:00 to BEElieve it!

27:04 looking at DIRECTIONS!! GLORY BEE! ITS A MIRACLE ! Men everywhere learning from the BEES! ( 🤫🤫just dont tell them the bees are all 🤫😏females 🤫).😊

7:31 cylindrical. My cell phone spell chechs for me but wont help pronounce it. Idk

Now we know just how INTELLIGENT BEES ARE!

The sound of 10,000 starlings is like runni g water. Enchanting watching them take filght, circle and land in the fields for breakfast.

Moon light flight for singles. Lately it seems humans have been taking on beeehavior and the drones and queenies are propogating like flies but the honeys have flown the nest and left the hatchlings!

Im on pins and needles to see how this works!😳😳🥸

For all your rugged (profane) masculinity, you do seem quite successful. Other beekeepers Ive seen make a big deal about the queen EVERY TIME. THIS Is a new experience with Aussie bee keepers

Put rubber bands on your wrist before moving hive so you dont have fish them out of your pocket with gooey hands!

My mechanic Dad had a vehicle stored in the back yard that looked like that one. A Packard maybe? That was 60 years ago, in Albuquerque, NM. Hot and dry like the area U R in.

Treat the old honey as a hive removal and reframe brood in new box

Take the end off and install wax into new frames.

He did all the things you SHOULDnt do in one vid.

Your mannerisms and coixe remind me of YODA drom starwaes. THE BEE YODA🐝🐝🐝🐝

That box you put the honey in looks nasty. Who would want to eat that? Probably lots of bees died in that honey mess

Nice large deck of the Truck. Hope the boom/crane will work good

Aussie guy is too friendly ... the fish tank bee hive is kind of messy

Get yourself a don't forget sign in the cab with a list on it. I would do it quickly because you'll forget 😂

I have noticed the QR code stickers on the boxes . Have you just started using them or have I missed a video mentioning them

Two words, swarm management

I love your voices, they make me laugh. Truck is looking good. Bet it saves your back. I understand the long drives. I am from Victoria, but when I was younger I went to University in Whyalla of all places. Talk about a culture shock. When I have a car I want to go back & see what it's like now.

Face the entrances to the front!! load in the dark 2 mistakes please cut the dribble regards.

Is there payment involved in this operation or is it just mutually beneficial to both parties ?

truck looks like a win to me!

Why not get some really bright red lights on the truck so the bees stay in the boxes. Don't the white lights attract them?

Did you ever find out what MBC stood for? I just thought of Mark Bee deCaux maybee lol

seen this one before Mark. cut the chain on the gate, install your own combination lock, and put the code in your phone or write it in the truck somewhere. all your bee yards can then have their own lock on them and if you just lock your lock into the last link of the chain and put your lock through the owners lock no harm done anywhere. you'll get the hang of it, just take your wife everywhere with you and that way you will never forget anything.

cordless grinder cuts through all locks .

Keep an angle grinder and a few new locks in the toolbox.

I don’t know if your naturally stupid or playing up for the camera,I’ve followed you for sometime now ,you went silent for a good half of this year not sure as to why ,but now it’s what can I forget to do ,forget to bring , forget to ask son to remind you etc or even have a list of to do and don’t leave home without - only once have I got 30 minutes into my journey to the bee yard packed solid no more space realised didn’t even remember the bee suit and had to go back because I were working the bees , the keys to the yards were always left in the vehicle just in case am in the area can pop check the hives are upright after a storm ,all my yards have a locked steel box ,with spare everything but not a suit - am not finding your negativity entertaining at all quite the opposite -
