Checking the hives, looking for the queen and seeing if honey is ready.

Beekeeping basics with Danny

Danny you have done an amazing job of capturing your journey and I hope you continue as it has been a great benefit for my journey too - you seem to be more and more confident too around handling the bees and video production

Great video Danny, the journey never ends, it's good that you have this record as its good to look back, my style has changed just a bit over the years. Think quite a few will be extracting this week, me included, I plan to overwinter on single broods this year. After extraction will need some empty boxes on to to cope with so many bees, but the numbers will go down in next few months. That's the plan anyway. Look forward to next vid. 😅
