He is a fantastic bee mentor. The hive looks very healthy. Great job Lorraine 👏👏👏

[@curiouscat3384]

Lorraine is so smart and it's obvious she's been doing her research. Very nice mentor - it's always helpful to learn from someone with experience. Congratulations on your successful start! :)

[@carlapierle8623]

I feel like this was a WONDERFUL learning experience for Lorraine! I could just see her gears churning with all of her questions! Great, fascinating content!

[@warrenfromga9945]

I am very interested in your "Bee" journey. I find them fascinating. Your Mentor is great. So patient and so willing to share his knowledge. You are very fortunate to have such a caring person. Loraine, you may be forever known as the "Crazy Bee Lady". :)

[@maryquitecontrary5126]

That was great to see a novice doing this. Most videos just show experts so it was great to see someone trying to learn how to do basics like hold the frames. Great job Lorraine!

[@stanleygallman7800]

Wonderful there's nothing like obtaining additional information and knowledge. I can really appreciate it when a serious approach is being taken as we encounter new challenges. Great job Lorain

[@o.smallwood4268]

Very interesting, thank you for bringing us along. Lorraine is getting a wealth of information.

[@samludwig7563]

Was thinking about adding bees to the homestead in the next couple years so I’m glad I get to watch you and learn!

[@mukadzichaiye2167]

Beginner beekeeper here too, loving the bee keeping content ❤

[@deniseharris9363]

So proud of you Lorraine ! You are learning so well and picking it up SO quickly!!! Great job😁😁😁

[@dc5218]

You should make or bring a small soild working table with a ledge to keep the propolis & wax from blowing off.

[@Mekare40503]

I am on my 2 year bee keeping and I learned a good amount from that mentor! He is awesome!! My county has an extension office that offers a free bee club and that has been a huge help for me! Also Bees for Dummies at the local library has been helpful!

[@wildpuffalumps]

Putting a swiffer pad, no chemicals just the dry pad inside the lid will trap 🪤 hive beetles and allow the bee’s to easily walk over it. HTH ❤🐝

[@mccrack77]

FASCINATING!

[@joyceruffcorn1595]

What an interesting video! Very informative!!

[@janicew6222]

Really impressed with how calm and knowledgeable Lorraine is, great job. Loved this video.

[@theresadonnelly9299]

I admire you for taking the chance to learn, ask questions and then share your vulnerability because if we don't ask we will never know. God Bless you

[@polycat7670]

A very informative video! Incredible!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@margaretbedwell3211]

Lorraine, you are just a natural bee keeper. You have learned so much in just a short time. I am really impressed. Thanks for sharing this video with your bee mentor. I never knew there was so much to bee keeping. Y'all have a Happy Mother's Day.

[@FBG_Duck]

Very interesting and teaching video

[@karlsening7726]

That mentor is the Man. Notice no gloves as he handles the bees.

[@josephfydenkevez8839]

that's experience in keeping bees showing. There are plenty of men and women who don't wear gloves due to having years of experience.

[@galba2715]

Youll be surprised by how many KZbin bee keeper and rescuers that doesn't even wear veil and bee suit like jp the beeman

[@lucydiazcolon734]

I've seen some rub honey on hands before they start.

[@josephfydenkevez8839]

@@galba2715 that's is correct as for the rescuers as you say the bees have nothing to protect when they swarm

[@seanadams6328]

I regularly watch homesteading vlogs. This one had me totally spellbound.Thank you for sharing such a special, educational and fascinating experience!!! Be well and be safe xx

[@armidaperez5360]

You guys are becoming a good homesteaders mastering so many things...

[@sawmillcharliesbeefarm]

Learning use your j hook hive tool hold it horizontally with the blade down and then use the blade to pry sideways to break the frames loose and use the j hook on the other end to raise the end bars up so you can grab them.

[@dwighthires3163]

This is the most fascinating bee video I have ever seen. Great job of educating us.

[@belieftransformation]

Wonderful & informative; thanks for sharing! You’re a fast learner, Lorraine! Fantastic mentor that was so calm & helpful. Blessings to all 🤗💜🇨🇦

[@christineabedini3765]

Boy oh boy there’s so much to understand learning be keeping is really crucial that you get it, right. You’re doing great.👏👏👏👍

[@cekfraun]

This guy is a wealth of information! What a wonderful thing to have a bee keeping mentor. Thanks for letting us come along. This is so interesting! ❤🐝🐝🐝❤

[@ssfoste]

Lorraine, that hive is awesome for no longer than you have had those bees and new hives. You are going to be a great bee keeper.

[@schammond8993]

Great job . Congratulations on getting a great mentor. He is a book of knowledge worth his weight in gold. Everyday is a school day with Honeybees.

[@teresahunter7645]

This was so interesting! Thank you for filming this! 🐝🐝

[@BethEmily763]

Wow Lorraine!!! Your confidence has greatly grown since you got these bees. Thank you both for creating such great content❤

[@graciegolden2290]

God bless you dear people. All I know about bees is getting stung as a child walking barefoot through clover in the spring and summer. Very much appreciate all who care to manage bee hives. Not that I will be a bee keeper, but thanks for the instruction video. Way to go, Lorraine.

[@anchorageprepper9008]

Love the thumbnail 😂 What a great Extension Program you have where the have mentors assigned to each of you 👍👍

[@N-A-uw5fp]

So interesting. So much to learn! I would put rock down around the hives and maybe an easy shade built to put up on really hot days. I know someone that put theirs on pallets screwed the hives down to them so wind doesn’t knock them over. Great job! What a fun new project. SAVE THE BEES 💗

[@ladyryan902]

Mr.mentor is a good teacher. Lorraine is SO into learning. Very cool. N dad is also there? Hes into all the things 😅

[@QuintinHolmberg]

Congrats on the mentor. There is nothing more important for a new beekeeker than a, mentor.

[@sicilysmith5440]

What a fantastic video! You have a very good mentor as well. Thank you for sharing your beekeeping journey.

[@SowtheLand]

thanks for watching

[@jarretzendt3527]

Really enjoyed this

[@monicabrimm1822]

Great mentor...he was very helpful..thank you to him..great to have him one on one....🌸🌸

[@OutdoorAdventureswithShawn]

i can see Lorraine being a mentor in a few years, she is a great listener and is retaining the knowledge. she has great questions too. yall are doing great ! i love watching you story unfold !

[@pegbayless]

You’re doing just fine, Lorraine! Each beekeeper is new and starting at learning at some point, be patient with yourself and trust your need! With a good mentor and increasing experience, you’ll soon feel very comfortable and confident. ❤

[@patrickbarber8187]

Great video! Very informative. Wish Id seen something like this back when I was a bit younger. No youtube back than!.

[@andrewhobbs6962]

Happy Mother's Day to the queen bees & all other mothers out there!

[@joannmahaffey1068]

At this point it all feels like a huge learning curve. In no time you will be doing the inspections in 5 min. Your bees are incredibly patient with their hive being disturbed for such a long time. Good work. Your mentor is great.

[@serenagomez3864]

HIS handiwork! So beautiful! Thank you.

[@domenicm3083]

Love the content guys. Very informative. Also motivating thx ♥️

[@sgrvtl7183]

Excellent video and so wonderful to have the Mentor. Love all those bees💛💛

[@janetmertz1740]

What a fascinating video! Lorraine, you asked so many questions I would never would have thought of. You have a jewel of a mentor!... Been wanting to gain bees but want to learn first...ALL explanations were excellent..Thank you.

[@janana6786]

That was anxiety causing. More time those frames were out more I was feeling it for the hive

[@Userxyz-z2d]

You hav no idea what a great QUEEN you hav!! The object is to get in & outif a hive quickly!!! before they even kno you're there... Canadian BeeKeepers BLog is good to watch. He films every day.

[@rsoubiea]

bees are so fascinating and necessary to the planet. they work so hard bless them. i hope you are enjoying your experience Loraine. good for you.

[@TheJoyfulMom]

So fun! He seems like a great mentor! One thing you might want to invest in is a frame perch. We used one in our bee class so I bought one for my hive. It hangs on the edge of your hive when you open it and you can place frames on it to hold it instead of setting it on the ground.

[@tmwhtly3982]

Thank you for sharing, I am a new beekeeper too. This was so helpful!

[@PattyPrice-tl7bc]

Hello all Goodness the mentor is so knowledgeable your hives looked wonderful You all doing fantastic job

[@karencary3312]

When Lorraine said "oopsie" I bust out laughing.

[@sharonwillis993]

This man is very knowledgeable and so calm explaining everything regarding the bees!

[@anniejefferson4642]

Nice kind 🐝. Musta went to be school to be calm. Lol. Nice 🐝

[@AmbitionAcres]

Lorraine, excellent job reading the room. You recognized that your mentor is a straight shooter and patient man, and that he had your back on getting this information out. You kept everyone on task and on topic with great information flowing like a waterfall. Glad your second Queen was ok. I gasped with you when he destroyed the cell lol. Keep up the great work! 👏

[@kezzatries]

Thank you, I gained a lot of information, that more experienced keeper's haven't showen on their channels

[@cassityart7001]

Great video! 🐝

[@barbaravickroy7563]

Awesome video, thanks👍🏻😊❤️

[@TheMennomilist]

Lorraine really has learned a lot that she was asking to make sure what things were and was right. You go, lady! :) I had no idea propolis came from bees! I put some on my face every day. I enjoyed this and watched the whole video. :)

[@SowtheLand]

Thanks for watching and commenting justice pirate! I really appreciate it. I hope you all are doing well.

[@TheMennomilist]

@@SowtheLand We are doing so well! Thank you! Keep up the great work.

Lorraine,, you are ane such a great student and pay so much attention and actually learn, which can be hard but I can just see you going , ohhhh i see. Thanks

Great job Lorraine. You're a natural.

[@shaunm3206]

Keeping a journal was really good advice. Journals turn into diaries which could turn into a book. Just saying :) I look forward to seeing how the hives do. They are very chilled hives.

[@yellowdeer7163]

Lorraine is like a sponge and so knowledgeable . Great job. A journal is a great idea. I have great respect for bees and how hard they work.

[@MKCarol-ms7lg]

Lorraine is so knowledgeable for a "beginner". Obviously, she was a great student.

Man I learned so much!! He's amazing!! Great job Lorraine!

The beementor. Sounds like a good idea. 🤙🤙🤙🙃🙃

[@mindys74]

I found this video really useful Thankyou. I have just packed my bees down for the cold winter to come here in Melbourne, Australia and I have never really cleaned up the frames before to make it easier to inspect and to get the frames nice and close together. I did this today and hope that it will make things much easier going forward. Thanks so much for this tip.

[@dagmarking3974]

Wow! The was so interesting. I love your channel. Thank you for sharing with us. God bless you all. 💕💕

[@claudettehernandez3402]

Thank you Extension Mentor! This has really been informative

[@Plant-Kat]

Invaluable! Great work Lorraine!

[@douglasgatian1401]

Love the Bee episode!! Very interesting and entertaining. Keep us updated.

[@jamesmoore5603]

The bridge comb on the tops of the frames is harmless and does provide a bridge when you add another super. Humans visually want to clean it and make things tidy. The bees are just going to "correct" the situation and replace it. So one point of view is you are making work for your bees by scraping it off. Granted a ton of it can glue the top of one frame to the bottom of the frame above. A whole box of this will make separating box more difficult. It is a balance. Tidy to a human may be unkept to the bees. The bees are always going to "correct" the beekeeper's mistakes,

[@gypsyheartsouls]

Fabulous lesson. What a generous mentor, he shared so much knowledge, and encouraged Lorraine so much. Thanks for sharing with us.💜💙💚

[@ashleylovepace1941]
