[@ChanceHubbell]

I use tin foil top covers to prevent the aliens from finding my hives 👽 👽

[@grumblesmudie3141]

I knew that I was forgetting something to protect my hives 👍

The Greys help to turn the handle on my Spinner. They love Honey Comb.

Love the vids on Thursday and Friday!!

All I need apart from frames and boxes and my old school smoker, is a bee vacuum for collecting wild swarms. I have 5 boxes that are all from wild swarms and always healthy and very productive. A little more aggressive than imported honey bees, but totally bred for my climate. I live way down south in Victoria, Australia. winters are not too cold and it never snows here. I don't buy new things as my system works fine. After all, I learned the basics from your videos. Thank you very much for teaching me the basics.

I have seen many queens in packages and most are not great queens! I always requeen if I get one. No comparison to my queens! Due to the big homesteading movement many shops and suppliers have showed up. They see to current opportunity to market products to all the new beekeepers. But I have found most gadgets are just simply a way to get your money not how to better care for your bees. I believe you can effectively care for bees using the standard proven equipment that has proven best over the year. Whatever protection you want, a smoker, a hive tool, boxes, frames and bees of course is all you really need.

David GREAT VIDEO - my 2 beehives are winterized with 2" insulation board - sides and top. Fall weather in ORANGEVILLE NY is here to stay with 20 degrees overnight to maybe 50 degrees.

Thanks for the videos David and Sheri. Looking forward to watching you guys tonight 😊

[@short3358]

Oh my gosh! Just LOVE your shows David! Rupturing the bees!😅😅😅

[@jayglosser2014]

David, I have experienced having a beehive near several windmills and the hives never make it through the year. So, I don't have any hives near windmills any more. I have tried everything to help them.

Hi David from NE WI.Hope to meet you at Beek Meet up here in Wisconsin end of January. There's no dum question, only dum question is the one that's not asked.So go ahead and ask the question. Thanks for all you do for us.

Hi David I would really love it if you could maybe do a series on biology and what they really need , I would also like it if you could maybe like historical bee keepers of the past videos I.e how were bees kept in old times across the world

[@Patriotsoul]

Aliens, don’t kill bees, but when the county fogs mosquitoes that kills bees.

[@finiscary9689]

Great sign!! I enjoy when you say to cow boy up

[@garrybrischke53]

Maybe it's the increase in plastic crap that is used today in the hive .

[@matthewdurkot6389]

Thanks David!!!!

[@michaelonderko9660]

I’m new I checked on my bees and feed them sugar water and I noticed that there were some dead bees at the upper cover they looked like maybe they starved to death is that just a natural progression it’s been about 3 weeks since I’ve feed them last they got a sugar patty and gallon of sugar water then.

Hello David Marshall here from England. What do you think of a spot of super glue on a queens back to hold a half inch coloured streamer to mark a queen

[@davidpotts3844]

I got 6k in equipment for $2500, scored w a 9 frame exstrator

[@aaronparis4714]

So people think moisture fall on bees if they don’t have a top vent that’s not true bees only have one entrance in the wild

[@onevalewa1131]

Appreciate you. From.Fiji

[@beek]

Appreciated

[@maredzki]

David, don’t change a thing in your videos as they are very informative to both the layman and advanced beekeepers alike. Not all bee keepers will become bee scientists and look at nosema under a microscope, but bee biology is fundamental in becoming a good beekeeper.

[@quijadriss7650]

I think the bees are hiding out with Jimmy Hoffa.

[@missionbeelieve3479]

Colony biology!!

[@theunlikelybeek]

NAHBE is one of the biggest scams IMO. It costs a fortune to attend so you can save 10% off overpriced bee equipment, and listen to a overpaid speaker who should be sharing their knowledge and experience for free, instead of charging an engagement fee. The bees benefit from well educated keepers, which is supposed to bee what it's all about anyway.
