Beekeeping | What To Do When Your Bees Run Out Of Room | GIVEAWAY

[@TJSmith757]

I appreciate the monthly tip videos, thank you!

[@beek]

Thanks T.J. for the SUPER THANKS and donation. I appreciate that!

[@jimtruckly885]

Thanks for the videos. I am new to the hobby and your videos give me tons of information. With the money I would buy a house in the mountains. Thanks again and I can't wait for your next video.

[@daliavara3585]

Hi David, First year Beekeeper with two hives. I’m learning so much from your videos it’s overwhelming on how much there is to keep your Bees healthy. If I had unlimited resources I would help build shelters for unwanted animals and feed/help the homeless. Thank you

[@terrysteen6121]

Unlimited resources? I would build a technical training school that would focus on building businesses. People could learn trades, get a chance to start a business, and ownership of the business would be able to transfer to those who trained in the school. That was fun! Thanks David

[@rosspower7514]

Thank you David for all the advice and videos. If I had limitless money I would pay it all forward to remove the worlds need for financial motivation thus redirect efforts for the betterment of humanity and the well being of our planet.

[@MichaelDutle]

Interesting! I've had bees for a couple years, but never felt confident enough to make a split. It looks possible! My wife and I are retired and feel fortunate to have sufficient resources to "make it". If we had all the money in the world, we'd probably make sure that our family was OK, and then share the wealth with the charitable groups we support now. Our church (which supports the homeless and hungry), education, public broadcasting, and a few others. We'd also probably get a little fancier with our beekeeping! Thanks for all the great information in a format that's so interesting!

[@beek]

Good deal!

[@tombischoff8440]

Hi David, You always make finding the queen look easy. It isn't. A sound mind and a full belly are worth more than any treasure.

[@viscache1]

I was just transported back to my childhood and discovered the Mr. Rogers of Beekeeping (i think that’s a huge compliment by the way)! Thanks for great video! Just subscribed! I think this is the first one of your videos that I found! My priorities are: New siding for the sheep barn, build up the rabbitry, hire a local person to help my wife and I on the farm, get some sheep handling equipment because we’re getting older, honey collection equipment and be able to support our local food bank. We have plenty of folks locally that need help. God bless. Sometimes the best work to do is the work that’s in front of you.

[@Trumac55]

Awesome vids, first year bee keeper here, 3 packaged hives New York so far so good. If I had all the money in the world, all children's medical bills would be taken care of. Keep up the great vids.

[@oneof5messer]

If money was no object, I would make family and friends comfortable and then I would donate to many foundations.

[@matts5359]

I would provide All the money to those organization that help others that are less fortunate like to food pantries and to organizations that help children that have medical issues like cancer, BECAUSE no child deserves or should suffer tragedies like this. As a side note This my first ever comment in any video that I have watched. Thanks for taking the time to help us new bee keepers. My first year my bees made it through the winter, so making my first split!

[@Tabbyhasbees]

First year beekeeper here and the learning curve is REAL. Your videos and classes have helped me so much! If I had all the money, I'd either endow a library with extension programs about regreening, greenspaces, nature and farming...or I'd love to get good enough at bees to bring this to my college campus. Wouldn't it be cool to learn beekeeping in college?

[@guitarstitch]

If you think the first year is steep, wait until you hit about year 3 and think you've finally got it figured out, just to be reminded that you know nothing and bees don't read the rules of beekeeping. lol Year 4 is quite humbling.

[@amylarson3958]

one method that works for me is to use a lightly dampened pillow case. place it over the exposed frames. they'll calm down. also helps because the Queen will always run into the darker place...

[@ffnightranger]

One of my hives swarmed just this afternoon; I thought I had split it appropriately, but I guess that didn't do the trick! Oh well.

[@iselldfw]

I am a 2nd year beekeep, I started with 1 hive, now I have 4! I feel like I will be having to work really hard extracting if I don't obtain some equipment soon! If I had all the money in the world I would pay off all my and family debt, start funds for education for all 4 of my grandkids, then fund scholarships for at risk kid's and their families to learn various trades.

[@brentkinsworthy4999]

Glad to see your channel continues to grow. You're putting in the effort and deserve it👍

[@beek]

Brent, that is so kind of you. I am working hard to grow it and for someone to notice is appreciated!

[@KenSilveira]

If I had an unlimited supply of money I would pay off all my debt and then I would make sure that hungry people were fed. Thanks for your great videos. Ken

[@duanevonbargen7516]

Newbie here. Started this year. Bought three hive systems and two nucs and have been able to pick up a swarm through the local club. Liking it so much, purchased 10 more systems. If I had the money, take some trips abroad then donate to conservation groups.

[@albertleavengood6478]

I would make a donation to my church and favorite charities and then buy a new house with hundreds of acres of undeveloped land.

[@adamballer5150]

Great video. If I had all the money in the world I would set my kids and grandkids up with college tuitions. I would start a permanent scholarship fund for the kids who couldn’t afford to go to college. Knowledge is power!

[@finbarwoitalla7248]

Great and useful video as always, David. If I had limitless money, I’d fund all the medical research and farming research in the world and feed the hungry.

[@larrywilkens7428]

Watching your videos is making me smarter. Dont know if Im late to the party. But If I had unlimited funds I would teach the world how to grow food. And drill wells for water. Droughts have desimated so many parts but there is always a way to grow self sustaining food supplies. Keep up the great videos.

[@MacKay52]

I am a Beginning beekeeper, thanks for the videos. If I had all the money in the world I would spend money trying to improve and expand my small farm and the world around it.

[@scoffersrel9835]

I was so nervous about splitting, it'll be my first! This helped so much! Thank you! If I had all the money in the world, I would buy a few hundred acres out in the country, and start a ranch to help experiment with sustainability and just get away from the fast pace of life.

[@andrewmallard2301]

Hi David. Based in the UK, our climate/weather may be different, but it's always useful to see how you approach matters, especially - in this case - splits. With regards to your giveaways, I 'm not in the US, to benefit but hey go. Unlimited money - Anything I like and yes, charity is a big part of that. In Europe we have a lottery which often gives £100mn and a recent winner has already given multiple millions to friends and family.

[@matthewcaro657]

If I had all the money in the world I would make schools to educate those who don’t have opportunities to learn and grow, and pay the teachers big time! Thanks for the video, it’s very informative!

[@funkybuffalo88]

If money were no object, I would buy a 1000 acre ranch with multiple lakes and ponds for trout fishing. Great video. Just got my first two nucs last week…steep learning curve, but your videos and book helped prepare me tremendously! Thanks and keep it up!

[@larrymorris4594]

Hey Dave caught my first swarm and set up a new colony. So far so good. With all the money in the world I could each day random acts of kindness

[@tianamelis9682]

I'm a Maryland beekeeper, and also a foster/adoptive parent. If I had all the money in the world, I would buy a string of houses, and I would put loving foster parents in them, housing them for free so that they can be full-time parents to youth in foster care. Children who have experienced trauma often need parents who can dedicate more time to their needs. No child should be without a family, even temporarily :)

[@veronicalucas4213]

I'm so glad I've come across your videos. This week I just ordered my first hive. I live in West Potsdam New York. I'm so excited to get started learning, collecting bees and caring for them in my new hive. I am growing my own food and making my art. One of my art media is painting with encaustic wax. I have been painting in encaustic for many years. Last year I was given some bee casting which I used to make my own wax. It was awesome getting over 3 pounds of wax in the end. I took photos of my process. It made me really want to keep bees even thouogh for years I watched videos on other beekeeper doing there thing. I eat honey every day in my oatmeal and tea so it will be great having my own bees making it for me. If I had a lot of money I would repair the roof on my barn garage, insulate and heat it so I can have an art studio of my dreams. I could teach there and really enjoy using my printing presses and using my wax in some great art work.

[@beek]

Nice to meet you. I'll be speaking in New York at EAS in August. You should consider going to EAS: easternapiculture.org/conference/

[@timothymccarthy7111]

I like to leave the burns feeding system board on the hives. Use spacers on the top cover to allow ventilation. I can open the top cover and feel the vented heat from the hive through the screened portions of the feeding board. Very "Cool"

[@justinknaup2180]

If I had all the money in the world I’d make sure my family and friends are comfortable and I’d want to start a hobby farm. I also wouldn’t mind expanding my wood shop. Thanks Dave

[@ctd2216]

I so appreciate this incredibly practical video on splitting. With all the money in the world, I'd attack poverty. :)

[@jerryhousewright7620]

If I had all the money. I’d help people less fortunate than me. Also, help more people get into beekeeping. Thanks David for the videos.

[@djohnson4523]

I'm an aspiring beekeeper. Your information is helping to drive me forward. If I had all the money that was wanted, I would buy 800 acres of raw land somewhere in the Southeast US. Thanks for the content!

[@colliecampfarm]

Hi David, First year beekeeper and really learning a lot from you...I have built my hives and frames and bought a nice suit but now I need honey extraction tools...the tub would be amazing. If I had unlimited resources, I would make my property self sustaining and try to be as carbon neutral as possible. I'd love to build a well to irrigate my pastures, a pond for my ducks, solar panels for electric and continue to grow my apiary.

[@claudedixon7940]

Hello David, second year Beekeeper with two hives -- now three thanks to your video. Between my bee club and your videos I’m learning a lot. If I had unlimited resources, as an Army vet, I would help legitimate homeless vets. Helping them find the resources to get off the streets. Thank you.

[@Graves876]

Hi David! If I had unlimited resources I would love to keep a simplistic lifestyle in the country and would love to express a spirit of giving to those in need.

[@larryraleigh6896]

My wife Debbi and I watch you often we donate time and money too our church so more money would help us do more for our church as well

[@kimthompson8677]

This channel has changed my game in the bee keeping. With all the money in the world I would love to give most of it away. Feed the world.

[@jeaniehendrix344]

If I had unlimited money, I'd spend a lot of time traveling around the world viewing it, as well as identify characterisms of beekeeping, sharing information that will provoke the interest and desire of others to become beekeepers ~ Thank you so much for your time and talent Mr. Burns!! You are doing just as I wish to do, invoke interest in beekeeping ~ Peace, and love!!

[@lanettelutz884]

I would give to “The Cure Starts Now” which funds DIPG research. DIPG is a type of childhood brain cancer, which gets very little funds, because as of yet, there is no cure. It is devastating for families who lose their children to this cancer. I don’t want it to be a death sentence for families. Forever ❤ Piper! I’m learning so much with a first year hive. Thanks!!

[@geovan4823]

88 years of age. Thinking about keeping bees. Your videos are the best and highly informative and thoroughly appreciated.

[@ellendelacruz702]

Just a quick after thought, sent a note on the sweethearts e mail & we hadn't subscribed... just did that. I am subscribed elsewhere, we watch your informative thoughts and uplifting information on our smart T.V. & frankly the TV is much smarter then I am... just can't figure out how to comment from there! Been watching a couple of years but this year is our first with our sweet fuzzy guests. Thanks for all the information & inspiration we enjoy your thoughts and energy. We will continue to learn together with you.

[@scottkleemeyer2205]

First year beekeeping, and I am really enjoying your videos. If I had unlimited money I would first do many donations to different Christian ministries. Take care of all my family members, and enjoy beekeeping full time.

[@dorihallberg7444]

I really appreciate your videos, David. Your calmness is so reassuring! If I had unlimited monies, I would set up a non-profit foundation and spend the rest of my days happily giving $ to those in need, good causes and research. I can't imagine anything better.

[@beek]

Thanks Dori

[@dianebean5286]

This video was just what I was looking for! Just starting my second year and need to make a split like this as I lost one of my two hives in an April snowstorm. If I had all the money in the world the list would be very long. I like to give random gifts of kindness to other people. Everyone likes to get an act of kindness every if they don’t you. It does wonders for the soul.

[@Legendsingray]

If I had unlimited funds... 1st) I would pay off the building fund mortgage for my church 2nd) I would buy the farm that my family rented for over 70 years that I grew up on. Thanks for all the videos! As a first-year baby bee keeper, you have given me a ton of knowledge and confidence, even when things don't work just right.

[@shaneweinzetl2860]

First time beekeeper’s the wife and I have 2 nuc’s coming Saturday, learned pretty much everything from you! Alzheimer’s/Cancer research

[@sarapeters3277]

Hi David! Love all the information you give. My brother asked me to help take care of bees with him. Looking into classes this year. We have two hives. If I had all the money I would first donate to any wild life sanctuary, donate to the homeless shelters, and any children's shelter/hospital and the Veterans. Then fix somethings at my home.

[@randywhitaker6850]

I’m just getting started in beekeeping. I have learned from your videos.Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience in beekeeping.

[@beek]

I appreciate that Randy. Be sure and join me on Thursday nights at 7pm for my lifestreams where you can ask a question or hear answers I give to other people's questions. Here's the link: www.honeybeesonline.com/live/

[@randyhobgood5142]

First year beekeeper, and got my first open air hive. With unlimited money I would build housing for the homeless, at first I was going to say for military veterans, because I was in the military, but I think every homeless person needs help. I would love to help all homeless people get back on there feet. Thanks for all your helpful videos. Randy

[@ellacarrigan3415]

We started Bee keeping like three years ago. We really enjoy watching how God has .ade the bees so amazing. They are ot of fun an I have learned so much. I asked the Lord to Bless our Bees an he has cause we have really grown. We took Dave Bee keeping class a couple winter ago an loved it. If I had all the money in the world I would get all the stuff we need to really build our Bee business up!!! I would also help people in need!!!! Thank you Dave for All your knowledge you share.

[@rodkirt9273]

I have followed your videos . Your advice on stopping hive robbery is on spot . I live in an area ( South Central Texas where the local population of wild bees are 70% Africanized bees ) and I have been successful to stop robbing from the local wild bees . The pressures on domesticated honeybees are very high and I have followed your advice to help those rogue bees in hand .

[@beek]

Hi Rod, unfortunately, bees are so perishable and sensitive to shipping issues or production issues. Many hands are handling a queen that you buy. Any of those fingers could pinch her too hard. These huge bee supply companies try to do a good job, but it is difficult to find workers to work bees. They produce such huge volume of packages and queens, that they work in a fury of activity for just a few months a year. Honestly, they cannot listen to their mistakes. But, you have the option just to be understanding, they tried but failed and try a different smaller company next year.

[@CapeFearWildlife]

Just getting into beekeeping. Enjoyed your video. A quote from playwright Eugene O’Neill reminds me of your talk. “Success is a stale finale. The success in the struggle.”

[@chuckgroth6739]

If I had all the money I could use, I would travel and meet as many people as I could! Terrific video, as always! Thanks!

[@larryraleigh6896]

We love your show did our first split yesterday! I would buy a big area for more bees try to find a way to cure diabetes through research funding. Thanks David

[@jvon0311]

Thanks for the video David! Our answer to your question is we would fund education centers around the globe (build, maintain, transport and some areas protect ) to teach the basics of reading, writing, arithmetic, science, history, tech, arts, agriculture and what we would call blue collar skills. People perish for lack of knowledge. Keep the videos coming they help more than you know!

[@joycenoel104]

Thank you for your videos! With unlimited resources/money I would make sure I and my immediate family members would have their mortgages paid off and their homes updated and renovated and give to my church and our missionaries.

[@bhill7358]

Start and fund programs at schools for bee keeping as well supply the equipment that goes along with it. Also get land for the kids to set hives up at. Transportation to and from as well if needed. I wish I could have gotten interested in bee keeping when I was young. Only thing they said when I was in school was bees pollinate plants and make honey.. I never really knew just how important and interesting bees are.

[@LynneMullins-tr6dh]

Dave if I had the resources I would start a bread bakery, make & sell rustic loaves and goods employing people needing a hand up. Profits going to expand and assist with basic needs like transportation, education and housing. It's always been my dream as I see how so many good people are one paycheck away from losing their footing into homelessness. A productive safety net!

[@brianmeyer7421]

Thanks for the info. This is the start of my second year bee keeping and I find it extremely fascinating. I would pay off all the debt of all the people I know and secretly to people I don’t. And would quit my job and buy a farm to expand my bee keeping.

[@billyboy952]

David, at my age I would donate all of if to the Ukraine people who have lost everything they have. bee keeping is my life!! keep making all this great videos .

[@raphaeljthornton5716]

Awesome video!!! Like how you go slow!!! I’m a new beekeeper and I’m learning. If I had all the money in the world I would make sure all children in the world are fed and educated.

[@jamesrandall3854]

Thanks David. My bees I bought from you this spring are doing well and working hard. They are loving all of the black locust trees right now. If I had unlimited money I would spend my days making life better for others around me.

[@beek]

Well thanks James, glad you like our bees. Yes, the black locust trees are in full bloom in Illinois but only for a few more days.

[@bobbean5968]

Great video! I really enjoy when you go through an inspection and just talk us through it. If I had unlimited resources, I would travel often and see the world.

[@jeffdemarco2634]

If I had unlimited money I would start an insurance company that would accept alternative methods of health care. Homeopathy, acupuncture, herbal teas, etc. This would change the health care industry as we know it for the better. Thanks for all the great bee keeping advice David!

[@kylefrench7985]

This is my first year of beekeeping. I get my bees in the next week or two.Im so excited! If money was no obstacle I would buy farm land. In every country of the world to grow food and give jobs to as many people I could.

[@deansilver1864]

Awesome 5/2 Dave! I’d Identify a group of people to compile a list of needs from which priorities for resources can be designated and a inspection process established to determine the resulting effectiveness of those allocations. 😅

[@kc4ylx]

All the money in the world? First I would set up college funds for both of my grand children. Then buy more wooden ware for my son where started beeping last year. I kept bees when he was young. I am in Virginia and enjoy your channel. Regards, Ed

[@elizabethdenauw546]

If I had all the money in the world, I would make sure that people across the globe had adequate, decent quality housing and provide resources to clean up the planet. Just got my first hive of bees in northern NH and can’t wait to see how they will do. Love your videos and your online classes!!

[@jimparker8092]

I actually would buy parcels of land and plant trees galore. Trees for the wildlife. I have started 700 oaks pines and maples and need a place to plant them. Your videos are great. Thanks for educating. Keep up the good work. Happy Beekeeping

[@KevinFogo]

Saw her two seconds before you did...Thanks for your awesome videos! I have layens hives but I still like watching yours for more learning.

[@guyfromme3000]

Getting into my first hive today. You are so brave handling all the bees. Perhaps I will grow to that like the confidence w a 2nd child. For your question, frankly my first reaction would be to say no it would be too overwhelming.

[@beek]

Great going Guy, keep us posted on how it goes.

[@maryludwig9168]

Much appreciating the down to earth way you explain beekeeping techniques for all of us novices. If there were such a thing as unlimited income, I too would enjoy doing video & photographic tutorials on wildlife & food foraging as well as traveling documentaries. Homeopathic and medicinal plants and fungi hunting education. These are my true passions I'd love to share with those who would be interested.

[@jimberkley2896]

Mr. Burns, Thank you for your knowledge and the information you provide in these videos. I have learned something with every video I have watched. To answer your question for the giveaway. As a Military Veteran I would set up resources to help homeless Veterans and other homeless individuals to have access to food and healthcare. Jim

[@anthonyladue8728]

I'm just getting a hand me down box's rehabbed. It's rough but I think it will do for this season. I've got my very first nuc coming in a few weeks. If I had all the money in the world I would burn every last bit of it! That would be my gift to the rest of the world!

[@gemarkus7295]

As always, thanks for the videos! I have a hive that may be needing a split soon but bear activity has been VERY high in our area this year, so I may need to keep it within our apiary with the electric fence. If I had all the money in the world, I would establish community/retreat areas specifically for our young people so that they may find a safe and healthy environment where to learn the life and social skills that they are no longer learning in today's society.

[@patrickconnor5143]

Ordered two Nucs this year after 8 years without bees. If I had endless money I'd purchase large tracks of land and make them for public use, too many states are primarily private land and don't practice good wildlife and resource management.

[@dianezobro3846]

If I had an unlimited amount of money, I would help my family & friends, donate to local charities, and then do some travelling, since I've never had money to do so. Thank you for sharing your amazing wealth of knowledge. I so appreciate you! The end of May marks my first full year of Beekeeping! Loving it! 🐝

[@blueskye991178]

Im new too your channel and I just started my own hive this spring. I did a 20 bar horizontal hive which I built myself. Not to bad for a 63 yr old young lady. The honey is amazing. It’s in the middle of my food forest 👍👍👍👍 thanks for the work and information.

[@beek]

Wait, do not use 63 and "old" in the same sentence. You're off to a great start with bees. Good for you.

[@vickiemery3559]

Just watched your bee splitting video. I'm a new beekeeper and totally enjoyed and learned so much from you and will recommend you to my beekeeping friends! Awesome. If I had all the money in the world, I would first take care of my family members who are in need. Then help the non-profits in my community, travel and then find a cause that I believe in, (one that helps protect our planet) and let them have it!

[@beek]

Thank you Vicki

[@bethkellogg6502]

I would buy a very large farm to raise my children and have a homestead. With Bees of course! Thanks for everything Beth

[@denniskochjr.4818]

Thanks for all you do to help the new bee keepers. I would by a big farm and help with the homeless veterans

[@toddholmer9700]

If I had all the money I would ever need. I would finance the cure for all the world's sicknesses. I would also tell my wife and kids to retire. Another thing I would do is purchase more property and establish more pollinator areas so that the bee's and butterflies can prosper. And lastly I would finance the study on how to eradicate mites on honeybees. Great video. Enjoy the talks you give while working your bees.

[@shannonwilliams958]

Great video and instruction for splitting a hive. My son got in to beekeeping as a teenager and I joined in to spend more time together. His curiosity in beekeeping has subsided, but I love it. To answer your question, if I had all the money in the world, I would donate a substantial amount to continue research and hopefully find a cure for ALS and PLS.

[@larryheidel6579]

a great video we just did our first split and this was what we did. If I had all the money I would buy land and build a nice home.

[@MrRosepen]

First year beekeeper. Thanks for being so generously awesome with all you do ! With lots of money I'd like to help others help themselves and then themselves help others.

[@anthonyc9911]

If I had unlimited resources, I might not have the need to win your prize/giveaway. But alas here I am leaving a comment hoping to win a Pierce company prize. As for helping others with unlimited resources comes responsibility. Do you just give a handout! I think not. I would do something to the affect you're doing. Education of important topics. . Of doing things. Testing your abilities. This is what I have gained from You and other Influences on You Tube. So I'm in my 3rd season and feel I've won a little bit already. Good luck all who Participate! Thanks for all you're doing for the rest of us.

[@robertlane9165]

Good video Mr. Burns, like the hive management. All the money in the world? Make sure family and the kids are set for sure, expand our recently bought farm and definitely a few organizations we are tied to. Thank you.

[@petpilgrimgoose]

We have never been able to have security or insurance, etc. If we had a huge amount of money, it would mean peace and security, more than getting 'stuff'. We would also love to donate to a few charities we admire, like mercyship, st. judes, and animal welfare. For ourselves, we would just love to buy a little ancient thatched cottage in England and move to the UK! We would still keep bees of course! Thanks for a great video, Dave. ~Adam and Mary in New Hampshire

[@charlestanner6093]

David, I am a second year beekeeper,64 years old married 46 years never had a honeymoon and just learned I have bladder cancer. The first thing I would do is take my wife on a honeymoon and talk about the money.My perspective is changing with the suspense.By the way here in upstate NY the bee are getting some flight time.

[@a.j.stenbeck1852]

I would buy a lot of land in various parts of the world and create the ultimate garden and apiary in each place. Those areas would then help supply cheap food for communities. Thanks for what you do Mr. Burns!

[@DanielRiveraJr]

If money was no object I’d try to book trips for families that have never been anywhere taking them with me and allowing them to relax and enjoy things they have never seen before. First year bee keeper who survived the winter and looking at getting my first set of honey.

[@jeannesilva6066]

First year bee keeping. Learning from my mentor Linda here in Rhode Island I have one hive that swarmed from her hive. Love watching your video’s, you are patient in explaining everything you’re doing. So important to us newbie’s. If I had unlimited resources, I would buy more land and retire so I can enjoy mother earth’s beauty and wildlife here.

[@jaygulotta7418]

If I had all the money in the world I would fund trade schools all over the USA. We need good people doing these important tasks and sometimes good people need an opportunity. Thanks for the vid! I need to do that this weekend.

[@cindyletulle3979]

Hi David! I am so glad I found your channel, you have taught me a lot. If I had unlimited money, I would have to buy a good sized parcel of land for my family and then I'd try to ensure that children's needs, hunger issues and medical needs were funded.

[@jameswmcpherson8806]

With unlimited money, I would buy a large tract of land that would suited to managing and preserving wildlife, (bees included), and set up training program to teach others how to help manage wildlife and raise bees. A lofty idea, I know. Right now, in central Wisconsin, I have RARELY seen any bees let alone a swarm in the last three months. I am assuming that is because of how dry it has been. But I still put up a swarm trap that has remained maddingly empty the last 3 months. If I would get a swarm right now, I would still collect it and do my best to keep it going.

[@arvinsacreswinerymeadery6631]

Getting ready to split and this video helped. Thanks. If I had unlimited resources I would travel, give to family and donate to veterans.

[@roymaher8820]

Thanks Dave, hey can you do a segment on how to manage 2-3 colonies every Spring for those of us who don’t want to grow our apiary?

[@jennifershelton6024]

Mr Burns, My husband and I really enjoy all your bee videos. Love you sharing your knowledge. If I had unlimited resources. I would drill wells for clean water in needed countries. I would help the farmers to take care of world hunger. I would make sure people especially children had a warm bed, warm clothes for winter.

[@andrerodon3921]

I would buy as much property as possible - preferably old growth forest, and I'd create a foundation to maintain it as a Nature preserve untouched by man. Of course bees would be among those to benefit! Thanks for sharing your love of bees with the world! I've got the fever after having one hive for a year - this year my apiary grows!
