Bob Binnie & Kamon Reynolds at the Iowa Honey Producers conference

[@bobbinnie9872]

Doing this question and answer along with the entire convention was fun. Kamon was brilliant and kept things light. I wonder if Byran heard the bus coming.

[@kamonreynolds]

Thanks Bob you are too kind. I am really looking forward to January not just because it is a conference about bees which I love but it is a conference full of good friends. Can't wait!

2 of my fave beek youtubers coming together. It's like a cartoon crossover from when I was a kid😅

“Passion for the bees is necessary for a beekeeper to drive his/her hobby”

[@homesteadhousewife9964]

I think you’re BRILLIANT Kamon! ☺️ so successful for such a young guy!

[@aj-tu5ro]

Thanks very much for coming out here. I enjoyed meeting you both. Andy

[@dsummerscm]

Tenacity! Bob’s favorite word. It was a privilege to sit in on this breakout.

[@thesidelinebeekeeper-craig6924]

Bob and Kamon are Gems 💎 to the beekeeping community.

[@dontannery1805]

2 of my best beekeepers on KZbin I have learned a lot from both.Bob Benny is a man with few words but When he talks I listen always learn something It's on my bucket list to visit his store and meet the man in person very good video keep up the good work

[@horizontalbees]

Best part of a conference listening to the discussions between the different beekeepers. Thanks Bob and Kamon for sharing your knowledge!!!

[@barstat1002]

great to see my two favourite youtube beekeepers together.

[@traveler3626]

Thank you both ! Enjoy your informational videos .

[@harrisjoubertwithsleepycre1924]

Great chat. I made double screen boards that are also bee escape boards. I don't know how many times they have allowed me to grow when I was short on equipment. It lets you have 2 colonies with 1 bottom and top board. It is notched for an entrance, but turned over and placed on top, you have a top entrance. This is great during the flow, then drop it under the supers for an escape, and returning bees still have their top entrance

[@russellkoopman3004]

Bob may have more experience and more knowledge and is better looking (LOL) but Kamon's videos are so helpful to hobbyist and sideliners. You two are a great combination and I am always excited when either of you two put out a new video. Thanks guys.

[@CastleHives]

Great discussion Kamon. Look forward to the conference and being able to listen to the discussions. Tenacity is it. .

[@kamonreynolds]

[@jeffthomas7549]

Good video of you and Bob. Enjoyed it 👍

[@kamonreynolds]

Thanks Jeff 👍

[@waynewatson-cedarbranchhiv8491]

Great speaking guys, an looking forward to January !!!

[@donbearden1953]

I would have liked to have been there! What would be cool is to let Bob actually show the different configurations of using a double screened bottom board at Hive Life conference in January. Have empty hive boxes of all kinds to explain the ways to use them. After the demonstration set up everything as a display at the conference.

[@kamonreynolds]

We plan to Don! Great suggestion!

[@researcherAmateur]

Look at the original Snelgrove board and the way he used those entranceS for swarm control.. or for "stealing" worker bees from the top colony for a short flow. I use it for queen over wintering.. two 4 frame colonys over a strong one.

[@Warrenslife76317]

To the lady that ask what to do after you get your bees and they are installed. Let them be for a week, after that get in your bees once a week to see if the bees are bring in nectar. once they are add a second box. Then let them go for a couple weeks, assuming you are starting the 2nd with new foundation. After the second week lift the second box or go in and see how much they have collected. If it only has 3 or 4 frames of foundation left for them to draw out add a 3rd box. Depending on your area and the nectar flow continue this process. And around the first of July you should have some honey to extract. Keep in mind you also need to stay ahead of them with space to keep them from swarming.

[@HaUsSssss]

Thanks for posting this! I couldn't make it there this year and was extra bummed when I saw you and ol' 4 track Bob were speaking. Maybe next time

[@henryrogers8173]

THANKS....

[@Lbfarmsllc]

Two more hours would have been great 👍 .

[@markbooth8458]

I thought. I was Bob's biggest fan lol.

[@claudesully]

I'm good for another 2 hrs, What you talking about Tom?.....Classic Kamon 😎

[@kamonreynolds]

You should see how often Laurel shakes her head when I do this talks. Poor girl!

[@plainsimple442]

We all definitely go for Bob first! Ha ha

[@kamonreynolds]

Haha!

[@BlanchardsBees]

I really wanted to go to this and meet y'all but just couldn't afford to go😞

[@kamonreynolds]

Well who knows we might be back next year!

[@1bojaq]

Can you put a drone frame in your bee hive and pull it out in August and put in the freezer to kill the drones and mites before you treat the hive for mites?

[@jonhatchcirclejfarms1628]

Kamon they let you out of Tennessee?

[@kamonreynolds]

Laurel gave me permission and that is all I need!

[@danschneider9219]

I have a question, What should you do if someone that wants bees but never takes the time to learn anything about what it takes to bee a keeper of bees.

[@kamonreynolds]

I personally avoid those type of people like the plague. Whether it is beekeeping or not. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink. There are plenty of new beekeepers who want to learn about the right ways to keep bees and are willing to put forth the effort so I don't waste time on those who happily waste my time and effort.

[@danschneider9219]

@@kamonreynolds thank you

[@BackyardBeesNC]

Don't listen to anybody wearing full bee gear, unless maybe a commercial bkpr with 1000 hives.

[@neilbush9873]

Beware of clean white bee suits and people in distant lands
