I’ve see bees collecting sap from pines before, last spring an old bloke who owns Where I have an apiary site who is in his eighties rang me and said I better come get this swarm from a pine in his yard and when I got there the trees were Buzzing but upon closer inspection I could see hundreds of thousands of bees collecting sap from the trunk I have never seen so many bees going for sap they were covering the trunks top to bottom of six young trees, i had a hard time explaining to him that they were not swarming but collecting propolis and should be gone in a few days and then the quizzes started so after a cup of tea and an hour of bee chat he knew nearly as much as I do about honey bees and I had no swarm, you win some you lose some but it was great the old fella had such an interest and was purplexed by how the hives operate it was well worth my time and even better I didn’t lose a swarm

Have never commented on you tube before, but after moving back to the USA after living Sydneyside for five years, I simply had to comment here. I loved your humor and watching/listening to you made me miss my friends and my time in Oz. Keep it up - informative and amusing.

[@TheBushBeeMan]

I'm glad we were able to bring you a little Australia to you ;)

[@privatebubba8876]

I make tincture with propolis and grain alcohol. It makes makes a great antiseptic for cuts and such. Typically you just need to flex the frozen trap to pop the propolis off. We put propolis traps on the hives in the fall which is peak production time for propolis.

[@vernunftiger]

Came across your channel looking for ways to harvest propolis, but had to subscribe because you're just a blast to watch and your fantastic attitude just brought a smile to my face.

[@kakujo]

I'm blown away by and aspire to this man's energy.

[@TheBushBeeMan]

You can do anything you put your mind to!

[@massachusettsprepper]

It definitely Takes a while to come up with any quality at all. Thanks for sharing.

[@harryweyer2174]

I think you have to pay a few cents per song royalties but you will void copyright by changing the lyrics by 25%,so with some swearing and humming thrown in you should be able to butcher any song you like.

[@Kais.]

Legally, he can sing whatever song he wants. As long as it's his voice, and or transformative to the original work; it's fair use/dealing under Aussie copyright law.

[@JoseOrtiz-im5wu]

Awesome

[@clarkirwin8885]

If we just keep poking out those little lines of propolis, one day we'll all be rich! ... Lolol.

[@albigensian4655]

think you'd be better off using plastic mesh netting (perfectly flexible) with the right size small holes, then you could freeze and simply scrunch it up so the propolis falls out, then put the mesh back on.

[@debramacnabb7175]

How about a wire brush could that work just saying ps how is the truck coming

[@paulmichalek1153]

Good show from victor harbour

[@Playreadygamers]

i dont know if you know this, bet everytime i have seen you use the straps..ive noticed the straps are backwards. theyre supposed to apply tension but the way you put them on theyre just there. youre supposed to increase the tension when applying them but because they are backwards they dont do that. im assuming they dont need to be super tight but i just thought you should know.

[@harryweyer2174]

A new Weyer brush will bring the bastards off.

[@winnie-the-poohahaha4428]

Did something not get put away and fell onto the back of the car

[@hughyhughes8058]

When is next live Q&A? Thanks

[@christopherfiggins9863]

"...and not all of the songs have swearing in them, for all the concerned parents out there. Shit, what am I doin?" 😁

[@theEpicxY]

That's an I'll designed mat. Rubber mats work better than hard plastic ones.. I've been having great success with rubber propolis mats

[@farmer998]

were not here for the song were here for the bee knowledge

[@ruthannjones5873]

I don't know about Australia, but the US has fair use laws. Someone singing a song wouldn't violate the copyright.

[@evil00horse]

Stop being so fucking hard on yourself Mark. You're a good bloke, treat yourself so.

[@eztofollow]

No more episode number from here on?

[@TheBushBeeMan]

We're trying out new thumbnails but the first few we forgot to have the episode number.

[@zongshunliang9928]

useing hot water

[@privatebubba8876]

That would just make the propolis really sticky.

[@micktait8576]

Your always squashing bees under lids moving supers not brushing all of them away

[@Dstick1Spearfishing]

Bush Bee man, what happened to the back right hand side of the crew cab??? You'll need a lot of Propolis to fix that lol. Saw a video that might be really true BBM craft from a BBL have a look at her idea: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2G2oWqcq7SegNE she seemed to be on the BBM pay scale of how to do stuff on the cheap :)

[@matthewcarpenter7945]

do all cover band have to pay and they play in public for a fee so if they dont have to you should not if you are singing it but if you play the music that the original band made then that would be copyright issue. I dont think you performing it matters unless you used the background music to sing to. Do karaoke pay for royalties?

[@AwesomeFish12]

I have never had a clean propolis harvest. The last time I tried, the propolis collector was almost full but I decided to give it one more week. When I went to collect it, it was coated in tiny ants stuck to every surface, thousands of them. This happened three years in a row. Propolis that is 20% ants is rubbish and useless. I have never had a clean propolis harvest. Only compostabale rubbish. Never again. I wasted too much money buying propolis collectors and too much time trying to make them work. The ants make it past my petroleum jelly barriers as if they don't even exist.

[@dirty3893]

I thought you could sing it yourself you just was an allowed to play their music.

[@MReynolds101]

Sing something

[@mikeburston9427]

first in

[@moebees3060]

The bees need propolis to stay healthy. You should not collect propolis.

[@mschroed99]

You talk to damn much.
