I love your new intro Bradley!

[@ChiltonBeeCompany]

Thank you Megan

[@CooperBees]

Great use of the conveyor belts and pallets!

[@amfarmsllc5624]

Brad, like the new intro. It fits your calm personality. Nice job.

[@ChiltonBeeCompany]

Thank you

[@jamesdavis3600]

Really good video. I like the way you used the conveyor belts as weed control. Plus, you gave me some good ideas on how to use pallets on setting up my next yards. BTW. Have you done a video on how you make your pallet boards? If not would you consider doing so? Thanks.

[@ChiltonBeeCompany]

I do have a prior video on building the pallet boards called "Building Pallets". Thank you for watching

[@jamesdavis3600]

@@ChiltonBeeCompany Thanks. I’ll look it up.

[@robertstwalley3662]

I really like my belting for blocking out weeds. I need to find another local source, my old one dried up. Good videos,

[@ChiltonBeeCompany]

Thank you for watching

I love the new into music! I'd be curious to learn how you find new yards. Just word of mouth, or do you spot an area and then figure out who the landowner is and ask them if you can set up bees?

[@ChiltonBeeCompany]

Usually asking people that I know around the area

[@GunRunnerGundogsGamebirds]

Good video brother, what is the thickness of the conveyor belting you are using and how close do you recommend putting 2 honey yards? Thanks Kenny

[@ChiltonBeeCompany]

Conveyer belt is probably around 5/8". I keep yards at least a half mile apart. I like them around 3/4 to a mile apart so they can supply each other with drones
