From a person that lives in the city and is absolutely in love with nature, i love your life. The things i would do to have a simple life in a field, growing my own food and taking care of my animals. I'm feeling a bit lost in life, but seeing how happy you look and how your happiness cheers others up it's very heartwarming to me. thanks bud :,)

I am not a beekeeper yet, but plan to start. I live in the middle of Austin and mow around all of the wildflowers in my yard so that the bees can do their thing. I love going outside in the morning and seeing them just buzzing around.

[@najmanadeem5648]

Never seen anything so immersive....i was with you as you did the maintenance, filled the jars and tasted that honey....i felt so connected. What a beautiful video....thanks for sharing.

[@videogenie1236]

A very interesting flow hive. I think that makes bee keeping easier and less stressful on the bees and keeper.

[@hakitoookami1980]

Great job running your channel. Your voice and energy is so calm and pleasing. Great entertinment after a stressful day. Love your videos ;)

Very good video! Thank you for sharing. I'm a new backyard beekeeper from Butte Montana, I have one "Langstroth" style of hive and I'm looking ahead to next year to possible add a "Flow hive" after watching this I'm convinced that I will give the Flow hive a try... thanks again..

[@dusan19377]

I love your content and I am so impressed that you have a flow hive! I am familiar with Flow hive for maybe 10 years bit it's kinda expensive for country where I live. I could afford it but unfortunately there are other priorities of family and life. Great video, hope to see more and have a nice day in your amazing garden!

[@sw8871]

So rad to see your garden all grown up! I remember watching you start it during the lockdowns, next video should be about what's grown and changed since you started. Do the big leafy, tropical trees like banana have a problem with attracting a lot of cockroaches? I live in a semi-tropical zone too, South Texas, and want to grow banana & coconut etc. but I've always heard of terrible problems

[@TheWeedyGarden]

Never seen a cockroach here but maybe the came toads eat them all. Did you see this video yet bro kzbin.info/www/bejne/ionUfJyGiptsa68si=XFGL5LUA7SyDYQEP

Hi Mr. Weedy- have you heard of Tera Petra Soil? It was created by the tribes in the Amazon forest. It’s amazing stuff, groups of scientists have tested soils from all over the world and found that the Tera Petra soil was the most fertile soil on earth. It can be replicated too. It’s worth checking out. Happy garden!

[@chefgiovanni]

Wow, I learned so much here. We use honey every day. Can you list your top 10 flowers to plant for the bees? 🌻🌺🌹

[@TheWeedyGarden]

I don’t have ten top favorites. Bees like everything I have growing. They love basil flowers

[@Saer-s9u]

💞 if I may.....I've found these to be favorites and the bonus is the distinct flavors!😊 wild rose (Canada), buckwheat (gives a darker & earthy flavor)😢nasturtium, lilac, yarrow, and good old dandelion. Dandelion honey is used to help children with pollen and bee allergies. ❤

What an awesome, easy explanatory video to follow along with. Flow hives look incredible- looking forward to more videos on these, more detailed bee keeping would be amazing, and any other details, like what happens to the hive after you've taken the honey? do they repair it? will you harvest the honeycomb too? :)

[@ginac9008]

A flow hive is on my bucket list. Thanks David for explaining the Flow Hive to us.

[@TheWeedyGarden]

Makes life for the bees a lot more comfortable...and me

[@jast9999]

As a bee keeper I'd say, don't buy one, it's bad to work with, bad for the bees, very expensive, complicated to build and set up and just all around a bad choice. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing the honey flow out of the hive. But harvest is really the only part that is made more simple by the flow hive.... and there is a lot more to beekeeping than harvesting. All of which is way harder with a flow hive.

[@jast9999]

​@@TheWeedyGardenno, it's really bad for the bees actually.... The bees communicate with each other through dancing, the vibration of the dance normally goes through the hive and the bees know where the food sources are. But the thick plastic comb in the flow hive stops this vibration which is really bad for bee communication.

[@jast9999]

​@@TheWeedyGardenlove your videos But please look out for moisture content in your honey, it seems very liquid (could also be because of temperature of course). You always wand the bees to have the honey caped before you harvest it. High moisture content can impact shelf live and, at least in the eu, you aren't allowed to sell it with to high of a moisture content.

[@jhawk1045]

​@jast9999 the flow hive folks were some of the first to widely educate about waggle dance and bee communication... do you have any proof that bee communication is blocked? Or unproven?

[@nicosambeta]

I’m a friend of the weedy garden

[@residuevideos]

Can you explain the overall maintenance of the hive? How often do you need to remove everything and do it all over again? Or is it forever continuous?

[@rosemariebianchi9852]

Hi Weedy how are you? We are in the process of getting a flow hive, especially after you showing us how it works, but have noticed your wood looks as if it's brand new and so shiny. Normally wood goes a greyish colour being left out in the sun for a while. Could you please recommend, or what you used or what to put on the wood to keep it looking brand new like yours. We live in the SW of WA near Nannup, and is very humid in summer and wet in winter and can get some frost Thank you for your help and information and have a great day from the SW of WA

[@TheWeedyGarden]

It is cedar so looks more red I guess. You can paint them or oil them.

How do you maintain the plastic slots, do you even wash them from inside

[@pietsnot7002]

Go with the flow yo 🤠

[@everestpeake1]

question with setting up the hive, do you just wait for the bees to come or do you buy them from another hive that someone has ?

[@TheWeedyGarden]

Good question. You could watch “splitting a hive” video. It will give you one idea. Another is to catch a swarm, another barter something for some bees. I would say last resort would be to buy some, but yes, you need to find a colony to inhabit your hive. They will very unlikely find it themself. There are just way too many natural locations they could find.
