About OFF GRID with DOUG and STACY:
We moved to our 11 acres in 2011 from a large city in the Midwest with zero carpentry and farming skills. We live with no solar / wind power / public water or well. We share our adventure to a sustainable life, growing our own food from vegetables to meat. We post videos DAILY and they range from HOW TO to EVERYDAY LIFE and NUTRITION on the off grid homestead. We were city folks just like you probably and wanted to enjoy life and have more control over our food. We share food recipes as well as natural remedies.

If you all do not share the video the information dies here! SHARE the video and hope it helps out with your bee adventure. horizontalhive.com =) homesteadinglifeconference.com to come and learn and fellowship =)

[@patmccrady6063]

Can you recommend a vendor for horizontal hives?

[@malloriehatley]

The website keeps giving me a bad gateway error. :(

[@patmccrady6063]

Mallorie Gaughran I think the site is just overwhelmed. I got on once. Now I get the same message.

[@malloriehatley]

@@patmccrady6063 I was wondering that. That is a great thing!

[@spencergrant4906]

Thank you for taking the time to do all the videos that y'all do. We've started growing most of our own vegetables and I'm going to build a horizontal hive since I've had 3 back surgery's. Best wishes from Mississippi and God bless.

[@bobfanning6816]

I am a second generation beekeeper. I am age 81, grew up with bees so I feel a little qualified critique this program. I find it to be an excellent program. Well done and quiet thorough. Just as a note of interest, in hopes of supplementing the information presented, small Hive Beetle infected combs, as they were presented, can be saved. Place them in a deep freeze for 2 days or more, then wash them off with a garden hose, blot off the excess water and place them in a strong hive and the bees will clean them up and render the honey usable. HOWEVER, NEVER EVER place them in another hive if they have not been cycled through the deep freeze process. Outstanding presentation!! Thanks Mr. Doug and Dr. Leo!

[@rickveenstraatlive]

Have made several swarm boxes with the dimensions you suggested with great success. Caught five swarms from one position. These varied from very small to an extremely large swam. Have relocated and they are all doing extremely well. Your advice has been invaluable.

[@hollienguyen5222]

Dr. Leo...please start your own KZbin channel!! Thank you Doug for all this Golden knowledge.

Father in law made your box and we just set out traps today. Really excited to keep bees!

[@hockeynutt9434]

Long live the Bee! I am guilty of being an idiot. In the old days, I hated them like wasps, swatting and no care how many died, as long as they stayed away from me and the pool. Now, I would let them borrow my car if they drove and use the spare room to rest if they asked.

[@sujithsom5459]

Heck ! They'll leave you honey as rent !

[@animalyze7120]

Yeah the common Yellow Jackets give all stinging insects a bad name, they are the ones that buzz your outdoor parties and BBQ's, Bees only go to flowers and such and only fly past you, whereas Wasps will buzz around you cause of your deodorant and Perfumes. Glad to know another has finally discovered the benefit of Bees and just how pleasant they are if left to themselves and admired.

[@georgewilson9136]

My dad always said, "Let the bee be."

[@carmenmendez6836]

I love the way you handle bees, delicately, slowly and truly caring about their well being, very knowledgeable and kind! Love ur videos, learning a lot, great books! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Ur really amazing, not one bee ever touches u or come close! God bless for all the love, care and kindness u show bees! 😇🤟💖

He truly enjoys working with bees.

[@aprilpunley8291]

Isn't there a problem dumping the Lara on the ground by the hive.

[@erinnkemp]

This guy is a good teacher. I could listen to him for awhile. I loved how you didn't ask questions and just let him talk.

[@connierifenburg9758]

What a wonderful teacher and so interesting. Thank you so much for doing this Doug and Stacy. I don’t raise bees but I still find all this so interesting. 🌻🌼🐝🐝

[@T289c]

Nice video. Dr. Leo is an excellent beekeeper doing it the RIGHT way. The fact that second hive was "noisy" when you opened it is a classic sign of being queenless. Hives with no queens are always louder.

[@leaflyn]

Such an amazing episode. He is the bee master! Nice job on catching your swarm!🤗

[@leaflyn]

@Yo Mama move along troll 👍

[@missmartpants2269]

He is so impressive, and has already taught us so much. Thanks for the info. God bless!

[@sujithsom5459]

First thing he taught Doug And everyone here not to be afraid of bees and no need to wear spacesuit when dealing with bees !

[@johnberner2012]

Miss mart pants I think I will provide a box for bees this year. That is a really good idea.

[@robinr.770]

Dr. Leo has such a wealth of information to share. I appreciate his expertise. Thank you.

I like Dr Leo's calm demeanor an excellent teacher.

[@GinchyGirlCreatesAndGardens]

This is the best bee keeping person I’ve ever seen! Makes it all so simple and not difficult . No need for all the extra products that are pushed on us .

Tons of excellent info. Every sentence Dr. Leo says is valuable!

Today is my first day as a beekeeper and tomorrow is my birthday so I'm so excited I'm getting my suit and so on in 3 days I'm truly blessed

[@sulebo2153]

Thank you for sharing this guy with us! He's a wonderful bee whisperer and I so respect his gentle approach to transferring the swarm. I've seen so many people shake and whack the frames to dump them into the hive which is so stressful for the bees and consequently for the beekeeper!

[@brusea13]

Thanks Doug for having Dr Leo on today. I got to visit with Dr. Leo a couple of years ago at the Florida State Beekeepers Association meeting, AWESOME INFORMATION, THANKS Again.

[@janetbusch6517]

Dr. Leo ia awesome. Thanks for sharing and hosting on your channel, Mrs. Stacy and Mr. Doug.

[@therenaissancewoman2080]

That's a great suggestion to create a home for bees even if you're not wanting to keep bees. Just like birds like a bird house. Brilliant!

[@putteslaintxtbks5166]

It is amazing how most honeybees are so gentle and don't seem to bothered by people in their home. I use to catch honeybees in my hands off flowers as a child and would impress the girls by opening my hand and exposing a bee. Never got stung doing that. The bees seemed fine taking a small brake on my palm.

[@lisacook7162]

I felt like I was absorbing everything..and I don't even keep bees..he is so gentle with them. Great info!💖

[@lisaearman2880]

GREAT VIDEO. love Dr Leo. Thanks for sharing.

[@marinar3772]

I could listen to Dr. Leo talk about bees all day. I really love the bee videos! 🐝

[@lenellamaxwell6934]

To see the complete way of catching a swarm and rehoming it is so vitally educational. Thank you for this series. It has been very informative and it has made me be more comfortable around bees. To see you both working with the bees and not get stung was totally amazing!

[@stitchinggirl]

Oh he might of got stung... hid it well. We bought our bees and hubby got stung once. You do get use to it over time.

All I can say is thank you, I watched another video with Dr. Sharashkin and I learned a bunch. I had bees two years ago and lost them through swarming and not knowing enough. I am looking forward to bee keeping again this spring, time to make some traps and start out with free bees.

[@kathleenseligmytatterednto8560]

I have a daughter interested in bee keeping. Love this info and just the idea that you can put up a bee box to help save bees, everyone should do this!

Thank you so much for featuring Dr. Leo. His calm manner is so reassuring that it's almost got me convinced I could keep bees, myself. :)

[@stitchinggirl]

My hortizonal hives are almost completed. I'm getting excited about helping the hubby moving them over.

[@NancyKarstetter]

So perfect and the information is so easy to understand and be able to do at your own home! Great idea about just putting up swarm traps to host bees due to the lack of large trees for habitate.

[@darlenewright5850]

Hi Doug and Stacy! Dr. LEO, when you were looking at the bees during transfer the love in your eyes couldn't be hidden. Well done. Thank you for taking the time.

[@hawkspiritweaver6664]

Excellent once again.. I've been wanting to do this for about 15 years.. this horizontal idea is great.. Gives me the idea of trying to catch a swarm next spring.

[@karoleigharmstrong8568]

I love growing flowers the bees love, beeeecause, they are so amazing to watch in the yard. I love having them around.

[@rpeebles]

Ran across some videos with Dr Leo and was impressed with hands-off natural approach. Bought one of the books from his site (Keeping Bees with a Smile) and love the natural approach. Built a couple swarm traps and have them out now and finishing up building two layens hives. My Dad has a Langstroth hive that we are planning to switch to a horizontal hive.at some point. Since we are in southeast Texas we are not as concerned about the cold, just keep the bees from getting too hot! Thank you for having Dr Leo on you vijeo! :)

I don't keep bees but sure love the bee videos. Good tip on keeping a habitat for them even if you don't want to collect honey. I just really enjoyed this and it does my heart good to see there are those that are keeping our pollinators alive and well. Thanks

You make beekeeping a whole less daunting. Looking forward to the conference to learn even more. Thanks for sharing this plethora of information.

I didn't know you could just put a box out for them to house in. That's a fantastic tip! Wow!

if im not mistaken, he was a chicago cop. he gets his attitude from there from time to time 🤣😂.. i like this dude and his wife he is super knowledgeable. much respect, thanks for everything!! subscribed and watch all your vids!!

[@harveyrousejr.2069]

I ordered Keeping Bees with a Smile a few days ago and its changed my whole approach to bee keeping. I'm convinced "the natural way" is the ONLY way to successfully maintain health, local bee colonies. Thanks Dr. Leo. Today I down loaded the plans for my 3 initial Layens horizontal hives with extra deep frames. Next will be the swarm traps.

[@darlenebradley6756]

I had problems with bees getting tangled in my bee brush and have switched over to using a large goose quill. Works great!

Excellent Doug and Stacey! Thanks for all the love! Such wonderful information. I am learning so much...

[@karenrouth2056]

Another brilliant, informative and fascinating video with the hugely knowledgeable and experienced Dr Leo! Thanks Doug!

[@wval4379]

I love Dr. Leo's videos but I enjoy watching him more when he's on with Doug. I guess Doug asking questions keeps me so interested. Plus, seeing Doug's new-ish setup getting tips is helpful to me.

[@affytabrizi2162]

This is so heartwarming. Such a natural process. Beautiful video.

Thank you Doug and Stacy for this video and please thank Dr Leo next time he is by. I am inspired to start a horizontal hive here in Ontario.

I will build two of these this winter and the swarm catcher and tools I will get from Dr. Leo... Thank you and thank you Dr. Leo... ☆♡☆

[@aminafamiano-snowbird3573]

I just emailed Dr. Leo because his site only has the small version and none of the larger more decorative one's with the bottom trays...I look forward to his response...If I can buy the one that I sent him, then I will only build them for each of my kids for a Yule gift...

[@gwaynewilcox2702]

I use a vacume to remove small hive beetles, a stethoscope to listen to bees, and hops to prevent mites. I watch for mites on bees at the entrance. A deep Tupperware under the entrance catches beetle larvae.

[@sarahhollingshead6289]

Thank you so much for sharing! Started my beekeeping journey this year and went a more commercial route. Wanting to keep my bees completely natural It seems so much smarter to catch a swarm. I had most of a hive die from Georgia bc day after they arrived we had a 28 degree night! I really like the idea of having bees acclimated to this insane Missouri weather!

[@LivingBreadHomestead]

Awesome video!! Would love to see how you go about getting a queen going in that one hive.

[@ruthchristianson4595]

Probably put a tray of the bee larva from the hive that is producing and the bees will make a queen from those donated larva.

[@briant3586]

Looking forward to seeing Dr Leo in August at the Homesteading Life Conference in Hannibal MO.

[@popshillfamilyfarm6897]

Thank you so much for the vast wealth of information. I am just now getting into bees. So I'm trying to gather as much information as I can before I even get my first hive. And I have a very bad back so this horizontal hive is right up my alley. Once again thank you so much

[@jordanashcroft6204]

Extremely well informed Bee Master i agree this man should have his own youtube channel, very interesting episode , Nature is Heaven!

[@JoseOrtiz-im5wu]

Wow Dr Leo rocks. Great information , ty. ? Why did you have to move the swarm away 5 miles and then bring it back?

[@miqf914]

This is also my question. Unless you are dividing a hive by creating an artificial swarm (frex orphaning a colony to force them to raise another queen), I don't understand the need to relocate them far away before bringing them to their forever home...

[@jenniferwilliams4447]

Great info and even the advice at the end to help support bees even if you do not want to keep them. I have learned a lot from this and feel more confident around hives. Many thanks from Scotland..

[@PRDreams]

Dr. Leo is such a smart guy. I can't keep bees because my husband is allergic to them 😔 but I love learning about bee keeping.
