WHY I DON'T LIKE BEES ANYMORE!

[@Kelly_Mae_C]

Hey y'all! The old goat is on the second from the top shelf behind Greg behind the 2 pumpkins.

[@hopesmith3236]

Hoss, I know those stings were painful, but, I swear, the way you told the story was hilarious. I’ve seen more bees this year than ever before--some sleeping inside squash blossoms. Planted more herbs and let them flower, queenie zinnias, and lemon cutie sunflowers. Even had hummingbirds which was a first. Old Goat is behind Greg peeking out between two squashes.

[@austinwilloughby3439]

I'm a bee keeper also! Every time I've gotten stung bad! It was my own fault! That sounds like your situation with your suit! Love your videos and all the seeds we get from Hoss tools! My husband really love's the picking bucket! Have a great day!

[@Srhsbmet]

After listening to Mama talk about the fermented cucumbers I tried making some. They are addictive! Made 6 quarts already and starting more tomorrow. Love them ❤

[@cynthiamurrah9641]

I saw wasps, bumblebees and butterflies in my garden! The old goat is behind Greg in-between the 2 pumpkins. Great show!

[@cherylkovalik1983]

We grew the Gypsy sweet peppers this year and WOW are they productive! They are so delicious too. We are canning up pepper rings with them, and making pepper, cucumber and cherry tomato salads. We have never had this much success with peppers. Please don't ever stop carrying those seeds!

[@jeffengland1862]

Growing sunflowers and zinnias this year! Bees are everywhere!! Something new this year that a have seen is Hummingbirds! They are beautiful!!!!

[@susankilstrom6852]

Old Goat is on the shelf with the squash. Very important episode! I love all the activity of the pollinators in the gardens. So sorry for your bee episode Greg. I was fortunate that my honey bees were always very docile. I don't have any now but I sure did enjoy them. Thanks so much for the great episode. PLEASE restock the "Okree" tshirt. My family all pronounced it that way and so did I. We were in the upstate of SC. Hearing it again tickled me! I need that shirt!

[@tbirdlouise]

I added several kinds of wildflower mixes this year and it has been an immense draw for the pollinators. I hear loud buzzing in my squash plants in the morning and we have a thriving ecosystem, so very thankful for their hard work. Old goat is upper left shelf between pumpkins.

[@BeNiceorBeQuiet]

I’m growing wildflowers 💐 too! 1 months time no joke the difference in height is unreal so we can’t be so quick to despise pollinators lol they went from just popped up to almost a foot tall! My swimming pool is jammed packed full stuffed!

[@michaelhutchinson9289]

Great Video, Old goat is hiding between the squash on the third shelf behind Greg. Very true there are no holes in nature, something always fills in the voids.

[@docredduke4466]

The Old Goat is above Hoss behind the pumpkins. We are doing real well with our peppers. Bells and poblano. Tomatoes are still doing good also. And I started some herbs that I ordered from y’all and they germinated well and are taking off!

[@keranhumble6782]

Interesting show. The Old Goat is behind Greg on the 3rd shelf amongst the winter squash. I had a lot more pollinators this spring because I had lots of flowers and herbs in the garden.

[@Srhsbmet]

Started growing zinnias and sunflowers in our garden with a borage plant on end of one row. Bees are living them. Old goat behind Greg on shelf behind pumpkins

Greg, the old goat is behind you behind two little pumpkins on the third shelf from the bottom.

[@davidward1259]

The Old Goat is peeking out from between 2 nice "Red Kuri Squash" on the shelf behind Papa Hoss. As to those "void" spaces. We have four 3'x20' raised beds for our garden. I try to keep stuff grouped so that and entire bed is in use at a time instead of having a few plants here, a few there, since the beds are on drip irrigation. I also try to keep something growing all the way into late fall (and a few things into winter). Since I don't really have a "void time" until frost and winter, I'm thinking about just using some Dewitt black weed block fabric cut to 20' lengths held down with landscape staples. Our beds are small enough that this should work to keep those weeds down that try to sneak in over some of those warm winter GA days before early spring. Plus I can roll it up and keep it for use the next year. I may give sunflowers a try in the "in-between" season of prime summer, but I'm not sure about a full blown cover crop for all the beds due to our small size area (240 sq ft total). Mama Hoss almost pulled a joke on us when she was not sure she put the Old Goat out! That would be one sneaky way to trick us all. Thanks for another great and informative show!!!

[@Igardenbecauseican]

I keep a can of wasp spray handy just for bee stings. A quick shot on the bee sting will help ease the burn, pain, and swelling. This year I have seen chiefly Bumble bees. Thanks for all the great information.

[@anitabaldwin2176]

Hi from Stan and Anita Baldwin Huntsville Al AniStan Acers. The Old Goat is 3rd shelf up behind Greg behind the two orange Squash.

Thank y'all interesting information on the news and cover cross we are just getting ready to plant some red rippers for our summer cover crop. Mr old goat is behind the I think they are gords or pumpkin on the second shelf down behind Mr hoss. Wishing y'all a blessed day.

[@millermdiehl]

I have so many wild bees and bumble bees everywhere in my garden. They are so gentle. I had no idea that they lives asparagus flowers. Now they are all over my comfy, borage and oregano. So many pollinators in my garden. I love seeing and hearing them. Old goat is between the two pumpkins

[@lorriepeek5636]

I planted my garden plants the first of May. It is doing so good for only my second year. I have picked my corn. I did get corn smut again but not near as much as last year. I did drip this year which is wonderful. I am just picking tomatoes. I have so many cucumbers. Way to much. Lol Thanks for educating us on the right way. Im in zone 8. Dawson, Ga.

[@gatorguy7711]

Another great show! I live in Tallahassee and have a small backyard garden and really enjoy gardening and spending time outside. This last year I purchased numerous seeds and a drip irrigation system from your company. I appreciate how prompt products ship from your company. Some feedback on seeds I purchased this past year: Super Performers: Red Snapper, Roadster, SunSugar, Mountain Vineyard, King Author Bell, Gold Prize Summer Squash, Stonewall cucumber, and Benary Giant Zinnia Mix( deer don't seem to eat them). Disappointing Performers: Tachi Tomatoes (big plants and big fruits, but something would sting the fruit and cause small rotten spots on the green tomatoes (only tomato that had this problem, regardless of how much you sprayed), Tasty Bites Melons (great vines and blooms, but no fruit), Indigo Blue Berries Tomatoes (did not like the taste), Rosy Finch and Yellow Canary small tomatoes (great for patio planting and fun to grow, but did not care for the mild taste). Maybe you will have a different experience... Keep up the great shows and customer service...

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Thanks for the comments

[@brianramsey3824]

Planter flowers for the first time this year..was impressed with what just planting wild flowers did for pollinators

[@andysmith5257]

Great Show. We need to see the bee video. Old goat is on the left top shelf behind the two orange squash

[@MarkSmith-qk2rl]

That ole goat must be ready for some pumpkin pie ! He’s checking on those pumpkins behind Greg !! I’m always amazed at my pollinators in my garden and try and take pictures of them. For some reason they were attracted to my cucumbers this year. I’ve planted extra, extras lol just to keep them happy. I’ve never planted cucumbers this late but they are doing amazing. If it weren’t for them pesky squash bugs and vine borers I’d be happy. . I have very few honeybees but I have an abundance of a small type of bumblebee, and they carry an extraordinary amount of pollen. There are moths and butterflies and flies. I never realized the amount of pollinates there are ! It was a humorous good show today. Thanks guys

[@elainebouley4002]

It’s so funny how different the zones are, we are just now getting corn and cukes etc. we are also getting flooding and nasty thunder storms here in NH. The old goat is behind Greg hiding behind the orange gords

Old goat was behind the pumpkins first time I've ever seen him 😊

[@gregblanton9386]

While I have some wild honey bee's working my garden, 80%+ are now bumble bee's and imo they do a far better job pollinating my plants. I suggest planting clover around the gardens border, Rose of Sharon bushes nearby and tomatillos in 3 or 4 locations within the garden, all are excellent bee attractors throughout the entire growing season.

[@parsonroy]

Thanks for another good show. Old goat behind squash over Gregs head.

Growing luffa and sunflowers has brought the bees more than anything else into my backyard garden especially bumblebees.

[@sheraldtaylor1297]

Last year I had an exceptional amount of different bees and other pollinators. This year the garden is toast. Not much is going on it at the moment and unable to get out there and do much for a few weeks. Although, I have seen quite a number of butterflies this year. Might throw some zinnia seeds in a couple of raised beds, until I can plant for fall. Great show!

Oh no.... Sorry to hear about your bee attack Greg. You reminded me of my bad bee experience. Yesrs ago I was driving a stand up fork lift & had one fly up my shorts & sting me several times in a not so good area & I had to work the rest of the day like that. 🥴 Not good.

[@Lafayettelyle]

Okra, cowpeas, and sunflowers are about all that's still producing in my zone 8B garden. Leaf footed bugs are my main pest. Sunflowers attract them the worst. Sometimes there might be a hundred on each head. The good thing is sunflowers are easy to spray. The heads are all facing the same direction. I wonder if leaf footed stink bugs accidently pollenate sunflowers?

So sorry Mr. Hoss i don't have bees because we have bears. Upstate SC but im trying a new way to do cover crops . Think if we ever cool down and i get to plant fall ill try mustard. The old goat is hiding again behind the pumpkin's over your shoulder.bbr careful a lot of bees in NC i have seen them leave their hives and cluster way up in the trees. I think the weather has a lot to dovwith the agression. Sll eildlife have been building nestsvway up in the gutters and under carport. I walk around looking up when i should be looking down dog days and snakes are out bad. Have a blessed weekend . Moma Hoss looks great in that color blue..❤🙏👍💯

I've heard that if a hive gets aggressive you have to eliminate and replace the queen? Chanel I follow, she ended up in er with Anaphylactic Shock. That's what they did. Replace the queen.

Between the why I don't like Bees anymore and the reason you take the seeds out of the peppers I will simply bite my tongue. This year we seem to have more wasps and bumblebees than usual. Although it does not seem to be hinduring our beehives either. I attribute a lot of that because we are basically in a dearth/drought situation in our area. So biting my tongue and I will jump behind the two pumpkins and see what the Old Goat has to say!
