#NONONSENSEBEEKEEPING is a UK based beekeeping channel, designed to keep beekeeping as simple and enjoyable as possible. There are no overly complicated techniques or intricate pieces of equipment.
We cover all beekeeping topics ranging from queen rearing, disease recognition/control, honey extraction, swarm management/collection, how to make splits and much more!
My personal favourite aspects of beekeeping are selecting queens for rearing, rearing queens for mating, making up nucs for overwintering and collecting swarms.

[@just_alex]

Thanks for having me over! Was such an interesting day learning from you both!

[@BlackMountainHoney]

Our pleasure Alex.. You are always welcome 🤗

[@stewillo86]

Don't do yourself a disservice Laurence, your videos are superb and you've got a fantastic business. Lots of your subscribers myself included would give our left arm to be in your position.

[@BlackMountainHoney]

Thank you. That's very kind to say! I'm incredibly thankful for the position I find myself in that wouldn't be possible without the support of my brilliant customers and subscribers! I am eternally grateful for your support!

[@stewillo86]

I'm looking to order my first ever nuc next year and you're my chosen provider because I owe it to you for all of the videos you've put out there educating me for the past year. (I study like mad before I get into something and you've really helped.) My only headache at the moment is do I go for the Abelo 12 frame national or the Abelo Langstroth? Your older videos haven't helped me there at all because you keep changing your mind! 😂🙈

[@simonward7653]

Totally, totally agreed!

[@WalkerBeeHoney]

My 2 favourite KZbinrs 😊 I wish we had more of Laurence & Alex collaborations. You guys gel together really well. No egos, no competition, just genuine mutual interest. Well done guys 😊

[@edward5200]

A wholesome video of 2 youtubers interacting and learning from each other but I feel like we love Alex is because it’s “Just Alex”. I hope this lad doesn’t get corrupted by this world.

[@RyuuNoSenshi]

coming here straight after watching Alex's video and instantly subscribed, as an aspiring and first year beekeeping apprentice (don't have my own bees yet, but work with a local beekeeper who's teaching me till I'm ready to own bees myself) I'm looking forward to going through all your videos for more tips and information in this beautiful hobby. From what I already saw on Alex's video, you are an excellent and captivating teacher and your enthusiasm and love for beekeeping really shines through. I've been watching Alex's channel for a couple of years so this was also a nice and interesting glimpse into his thought- and video making process and you're hitting the nail right on the head on what makes his videos so special. It's also just so lovely to watch you two chat, so much mutual respect, admiration, passion and cheer-leading! Stuff like this is what makes youtube great!

[@BlackMountainHoney]

Aw thank you! What a lovely comment. I am glad you enjoyed the video and hope you find the channel useful in learning all about honey bees :)

[@Delibro]

That constant grin of Alex reacting to the ongoing applaud and praise of Laurence (11:16, but also 9:21 - 13:14) :))) To me, it wasn't the video editing skills, camera angles etc. that many are saying, but it was the way Alex presented the bee keeping, I wanted to do it too, I felt well informed even after the first video. And it is the way Alex tackles things: the sweet spot being layman, but still bringing enough professionalism into it.

[@Anne-ys6bc]

Fiquei tão feliz com você elogiando e falando tudo que eu gostaria de falar para o Alex, ele merece tanto!!!! E as perguntas foram ótimas também sobre a edição e todo o modo como ele edita! Adorei o video!

[@mentorbajrami2323]

Just Alex made me bye 2 beehives and start loving them Black Mountain Honey, give me a lot of advice and explanation to continue my beekiping Success to both of you!

[@Dave.Weiss.]

Two of my favourite bee keepers in the same video- fantastic. The thing is Laurence, it's great to have different styles of video, so don't be down on your work, because there's room for variety! You, Gryff and Alex are my go-to for all things in this mad world of beekeeping, keep the beautiful vibes coming x

[@won2winit]

The difference between both your styles are Alex's does the story telling and has a varied number of interests to document, whereas yours is specific to beekeeping. Alex can peek people's interests to his adventures but yours is more of a journey from beekeeping basics to more advanced techniques as well as getting folk stuck in their ways to try different techniques. Can happily watch you both and in some cases rewatch certain videos as a guide or just for the visuals and relaxing aspects.

[@gallowaylights]

This was an interesting interview back apary. Being a recent Beekeeper/KZbinr I relate to the thinking and deep inner searching that doing both beekeeping and KZbin at the same time does ones life. 🤔

[@graemesingleton-hayden2326]

Well I love watching you both. Alex is an inspiration for a young lad, failures and successes he isn’t afraid to show you and yours is soo informative teaching us geeks soo much. Thanks for this insight video. Keep ‘ em coming 👍🇮🇪

[@itslowtide4690]

Hello from USA! Watched Alex pick up a nucleus from you and came over and subbed!!!

[@FragmentedRadiance]

Hello from the US! I'm here from Alex's channel! I have been a fan of Alex's for a little while now, as an American lady I have to admit I'm a sucker for a British accent 😂 Alex is also very calming and sweet, and many of the things he's sharing a learning experience of are things I want to learn too! I really appreciate the KZbin channel info! I'm hoping to move to Alaska and start a Homesteading/Alaska adventures KZbin channel and really hope to keep bees after building my log cabin! Unfortunately my plans are further delayed in buying land as my car just died 😣😥 I don't have any family for help, but I suppose that can be a little bit of my own nich as "self sufficient" because life demands it. At any rate, I'm hoping to get a truck while still living in South Carolina, I'll need a 4x4 for Alaskan living! I just subscribed to your channel here and look forward to learning more about bees!

[@rocknroth764]

New Sub fr Just Alex! This was so much fun! We love the way Alex just talks with us. ESCAPISM at its finest. The secluded mountain cabins are the best. Cooking. Gardening progress is great too. Looking forward to watching BMH as well.

[@ph03nixnightingal3]

Alex is so humble. 🥹 He deserves being recognized for his hardwork. I'm just an avid fan and viewer but I feel so happy for him. Yey Alex!! 🥳 And thank you Black Mountain Honey for sharing us the behind the scenes! 🥰

[@lloydhillier7981]

Alex has been at youtube 10-15 years on his other channel with his brother and they smashed it on there to.thanks Lawrence for the great videos watch everyone and love the live streams good luck

[@aidan4158]

Definitely very interesting having Alex on the channel as I watched him roughly a year before he made his own channel and I still watch Carl videos. I was definitely expecting someone to get stung but the bees seem very calm 🐝

[@richard_wenner]

Lovely and very enjoyable insight into so many aspects of bee keeping, video and KZbin. Thank you both.

[@CastleHives]

What a great time. Thanks for sharing this Laurence.

[@julianrichards8337]

I really enjoyed this video. Both you and Alex have inspired me to go on with my journey through bee keeping. Thank you 😀

[@benjamindejonge3624]

Great to see you guys together

[@kierandowling4586]

That was great I’m re add on interested in bee keeping an will definitely get some soon but I have been watching you an Alex videos the last few weeks and learning lots from you both and it was great to see my 2 favourites do a video together thanks guys for everything you do 👍from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@chrismatthewsflyfishing7724]

As a very, very, VERY amateur youtuber, this was really interesting 👍 I've also kept bees for 30 years, which helps.

[@jasonseaward8506]

Just Alex really rekindled my interest in beekeeping and I love his videos. He was so open with his beginning and I've been finding his beekeeping videos so interesting

[@mikewaller4141]

Alex used to run a channel with his brother, just as good as Alex. Both great You Tubers! Great video, subbed to your channel.

[@eastsussexbeesandwildlife5801]

I really enjoy this relaxed natural style, as I am sure everyone else does. Having done some Taxi driving, found that it was perhaps the best job I ever did, mixture of social care, mostly great customers (with a few bad) and lack of business backstabbing, plus chance to chat about bees, because everyone knows something about them! Hope your good lady is well.

[@jscfb]

I luv BMH for beekeeping experience and your way of doing it start uploading yourself fishing gardening or on holiday n am off 😅😅

[@moniquelynwone8228]

Great video guy’s 🥰🐝

[@Beekeeping4Hope]

Amazing info and chat. I struggle on KZbin - especially long content but instagram and shorts I’m pretty good with. Loved watching you both. You’ve both been a huge part of my beekeeping venture and understanding

[@IOSARBX]

Black Mountain Honey, I subscribed because your videos are super cool!

[@BlackMountainHoney]

aw thanks 😊 I'm glad you enjoy them!

[@rickwarner516]

Three hours must have been pretty close, took almost an hour to get 12 miles to the beach

[@martinwatson1984]

Where can we buy the caps please 😊

[@mickhoyle4064]

Bit concerned that Alex reacts to bee stings with itching the day after as these are symptoms of the beginning of anaphylaxis.

[@remco6816]

I can personally react way worse. I can get fever and swellings the day after. Went to check it upp att an dokter specialized in allergies. I seem more sensitive for be stings but that doesn't mean I will get anaphylactic. The reactiea vomes a day after dont notice anything special soon after the sting. Been stung two times this year, nowadays I use antihistamines and do not, at least not yet get feverish the day after and swelling is minimal and more local compared to a whole arm last year. Så being stung and getting some reaction doesn't tell you anything about the risk off getting anaphylactic. You will know when you know. It might also depend on how well your whole body is able to compensate for the reaction.

[@Darren_Nicola]

Who told you that though , as it’s common from any sting or bite to get itching / swelling at the exact spot of the sting normal a day or so after , bet Laurence has the same reaction like most beekeepers, anyone allergic would pretty much know day one abc be one very unwell ,

[@mickhoyle4064]

@@Darren_Nicola It wasn't aunty Doris on FB, it was while I was at the London dermatology clinic.

[@Darren_Nicola]

@@mickhoyle4064 ok but I get a tiny itch after a sting on day 2 then day 3 it’s all gone , and I’m not allergic to anything and the nhs do say stings can itch and it’s a normal reaction, but all being said if anyone has a sting and and is worried get it checked ASAP , my mate kept his bees 20 years then few weeks ago had to stop after a reaction out the blue and he never reacted before that ☹️

[@philipfoy7116]

What's going on with the hairdo Laurence

[@BlackMountainHoney]

mid life crisis. whilst those around me turn bald, I'm embracing the curls LOL

[@user-tj4dh1xc4u]

😂😂fair play

[@johnmurphy8319]

Well, I did learn lots from your videos but the reason I unsubscribed from your channel L was the over loads of videos, sorry man, less is more 👍

[@billybutcherr69]

I was checking for bees in my room gosh these headphones
