20 Questions With Kamon Reynolds | Premier Bee Products

[@daverowden-RowdyBeeFarms]

Hopefully the Hive Life Conference was a success for your company. I preordered foundation from you and picked it up there. I spoke with your team there and was very impressed with your customer service. I hope you are there next year also. Thanks again for speaking to a small time bee keeper from Arkansas it was appreciated.

[@PremierBeeProducts]

It was great seeing you there, Dave! Yes, we have every intention of making it back to next year's event. We look forward to seeing you again.

I enjoy Kamon Renolds videos!! This was great questions to ask and see another side of his personality and just how down to earth he is! God bless!

[@PremierBeeProducts]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@TennesseeTim38451]

I absolutely love to hear a successful beekeeper getting his brain picked!! Great interview!!! Love that horizontal too!!

[@PremierBeeProducts]

Us too! Thanks for watching, Tim.

[@richardmclendon8314]

Yeah, tried contacting my local beekeeping association. No response. So my only option is to rely on KZbinrs like this. Thanks Kamon for all the invaluable info!

[@natserog]

Without a doubt the best video Kamon has ever done! Real

[@CastleHives]

Nice hat Kamon. . Enjoyed these 20 questions. Love your foundation Jeff.

[@PremierBeeProducts]

[@CastleHives]

@@PremierBeeProducts Yes, I'll be there. Can't wait.

Job well done Kamon🤙🏼

Hey Kamon. I am a new bee keeper in South Carolina. I bought two nukes June of last year. It is now the beginning of February 23. I’ve had these two hives for about nine months. One hive was doing really really well all summer and fall and up till a month ago my numbers were large in that colony but about a month ago I started seeing about 100 bees a day dead on the ground in front of the hive. I did my oxalic acid treatments in the fall and I’ve done a Alcohol wash about a month ago and I have no mites . I have been diligent in keeping my small hive beetles to a almost 0%. The problem is well actually there’s two problems I have subscribe to a couple channels and ask questions and no one ever returned my comment. I have nowhere to turn. The real problem is I don’t know why my bees are dying off. I have been feeding them this winter and now being in February they seem to be bringing in a lot of resources. I have tons of brood but now I am starting to see my bees pull out mommies. I’ve asked a few people that are bee keeper‘s and they have told me to do a mite a thol treatment to no avail every day I am starting to see more and more dead bees. They literally fall off the landing board twitch and stumble around for a while and then die. My population is deep cleaning despite of all the brood. Could you please give me a suggestion? Like I said I did mite treatment, no hide beetles, no AFB, no signs of chalk brood other than the mummy bees recently. I’m not sure if you read your comments or if another experience bee keeper could help me. I have six packages and three nukes ordered for the end of March and I don’t want to make the same mistake that I am making now. Just not sure what it is? And by the way I love your videos they are so informative and you get right to the point and I have complete trust in what you advise

[@jbrenes]

Keep it up! You'll be surprised where your videos are been watch from! greetings from the Dominican Republic....learning beekeeping your videos have been great help

[@beekeepinggarden165]

Great advice Thank you @Kamon

[@FullFrontalExposure]

Love this 20 questions kam!!

[@stanleyray4085]

I hived a small colony with brood I caught in a swarm catch. The bees seem disoriented and hover around the tree where I caught them. What can I do? They don't seem to remember where I hived them.

[@3boysbees]

Tennessee is the volunteer state we gained that nickname by volunteering for war. Wearing your Alabama gear exemplifies you're Tennessee spirit.

[@kamonreynolds]

Lol I love that reasoning!

[@TimSanders-v7m]

Hey Kaymon, have you tried Saskatraz Bees? They are apparently very hardy?

[@bazookaward3859]

hey Kamon, you have followers in BARBADOS as well

[@kamonreynolds]

Thanks Bazooka Ward!

[@michaelbiggs9391]

Where in Tennessee are you located

[@ricksutton107]

You could have picked someone better to interview than him. This is the guy talks about old come is best.

[@shevlin2650]

I think you are short-sighted. Throughout the years all Bee-Keepers have changed their operations as they adapt to changes in products and the environment. Randy Oliver, Bob Binnie, Frederick Dunn are among many Bee-Keepers that have modified/improved their operations throughout the years. I have watched all Kamon's Videos along with the others, and found him to be an honorable young man and calls it like it is, and admits to his past mistakes, and brings new innovations to the forefront. And he has been promoting Premier foundation since last spring. I think they picked a very good representative for their product. Craig Fr. VA / SML Bees.

[@burleybeeyard]

Dude has one of the best beekeeping channels. Haters gonna hate 🍻

[@kamonreynolds]

Jimmy James. Yeah Bob says to keep it to 10 years........ I love old combs and new combs. It is the guys that say you must change it every 2-3 years that don't have their facts right and cost new beekeepers their money. I base my information off of what actually works for me not based off of something I read somewhere. I draw thousands of new combs a year and sell that many off in nucs but when I started out combs were precious. Try showing some class Jimmy.

[@ricksutton107]

@@burleybeeyard no hating here just the facts.

[@ricksutton107]

@@kamonreynolds claass I do have your the one full of BS. You are also the one who said old comb is not a breeding for AFB.And as far as you on this narrative your experience. You are one of the ones just try to be famous. You just got butt hut somebody calling you out on your BS

Roll Tide Kamon!

[@horizontalbees3480]

Nice Horizontal hive Kamon!!!!

[@kamonreynolds]

@@horizontalbees3480 Yeah it is pretty awesome!

[@CastleHives]

@@horizontalbees3480 Have you ever built an observation hive? I’m thinking of maybe starting one next year.

[@horizontalbees3480]

@@CastleHives Brian I have thought about building a observation hive and I came across a video of some one that built one and gave the blue print to building one. It is really not that hard to build. Don’t tell my wife but when we remodeled our living room I’m going to build a horizontal hive into our wall that can view the bees. Lol 😂 Okay she does know about my crazy idea but hasn’t given me the okay. I will try to find the video of the observation hive for you and if you need any help just let me know. I like building crazy things as you will see in a new upcoming video of some new hives we have built. Even had one lady that wanted a hive to lay on.

[@CastleHives]

@@horizontalbees3480 Thanks much. I might build one in my Bee room I have so when I do Lives from the Apiary I could show that. Truth I’d just love looking at them myself, but it’d be so cool to have.

[@thomasbacon]

Clearly Jeff is making good friends along the way 👍👍👍

[@jacobhelton8914]

You guys should put out more videos! Maybe do 20 questions with bob binnie lol

[@PremierBeeProducts]

Great idea, Jacob! We are hoping to continue ramping up the amount of content we put on KZbin. Videos with Bob are certainly on the list. Thanks for tuning in!
