My 1st Ever Hive Inspection! The Good and the Not-so-Good News With Our Bees.

[@stephenullman4534]

That was incredible! I learned more about bees than I've ever heard in my 70 years. So very well done Brooke.

[@sharrondinnis1335]

Yes!! LOVED THIS VIDEO!! EXTREMELY WELL DONE BROOKE👍🏼. God bless y’all🙏🏻

[@rhondaalbrecht]

Ditto! Thank you both, Tanya AND Brooke!

[@tressiewhaley-mays8098]

Yes, I’ll have to agree… This was great… 🐝

[@meghamilton9234]

Outstanding and informative !! I thoroughly enjoyed this video and Tonya is a wonderful teacher. She explains it to where you can understand and as a student, I don’t need to ask more questions to understand the reasons they do this or that. I think Tonya needs a channel of her own so that more people could learn and possibly respect the magnificent 🐝 bees and how much this world needs them, and how much they need protection to flourish. So awesome 👏👏👏 Well done ‼️‼️🥰😄😄❤️💕❤️💕💚💚💚

[@deannaray4837]

I learned so much about bee's so interesting. Thank you Brooke ❤

[@johntatum1951]

I really enjoyed that. Thanks to Brooke and Tanya for teaching us about how to care for a bee hive.

[@angelatkeller]

So informative and amazing to watch. You not only love your family and your fur family you care for yourself environment and ours. I’ve learned about family, animals, food, ethics of hard work, dedication, positive thinking and so much more here than I ever have and I’m honored that you continue to share with us. Thank you and blessings and love to you and all. ❤

[@galady8632]

Such a unique and wonderful experience! We are fortunate Brooke and Jason are willing to provide us with such knowledgeable entertainment.

[@stanleygallman7800]

Hello everyone at the Coghill family farm 👏 everyday having a video from you is a good day 😊 IT is so wonderful listening to Brooke avidly seeking the knowledge of a experienced bee keeper. GOD blessed 🙏 give someone a fish feed them for a day teach them to fish feed them for a lifetime.😊

[@jmhwink3202]

Brooke,Your questions are spot on. And the answers were clear and simple. I learned more in this one video from Tonya and you than I thought possible for my brain cells . GREAT Video. Can't wait for your bee garden to grow.🐝🌻🏵🐝

[@deborahtofflemire7727]

I loved this , can’t wait for he next time . I plan o grow some lemon grass this year. I don’t have them but I try to support them . My property isn’t big enough to have some one bring them in. But I love them .

[@tomholmes1350]

Fascinating video! Thanks

[@lindactaylor1584]

Yes, very good interview!

[@janicehales2958]

Well now I'm sure I could not do what Tanya is doing, the bees just spook me too much. But Tanya is amazing with them, so much knowledge also! Thanks for a great video Brooke.

[@nikkicheshier1791]

Loved the video Brooke and thank you Tanya for keeping the bees healthy and flourishing for all of us🐝❤️🙏

[@fsgromad]

Thank you, Tanya and Brooke, for doing this amazingly educational vlog. My family loved watching it all the way to the end. We are looking forward to the Cog Hill Farm Bee school part 2 with Mrs.Tanya (Please, pretty Please).

[@lindasimmons131]

I must admit Bee's fascinate me. They are so very very important to our very existence. Brooke I can tell you are really interested in learning about them also. So glad ya'll are doing your part by supporting & supplying the bee's with everything they need. Thank you for sharing. ❤🙏

[@mnellesenerhard]

❤Thank you for the Bee education ❤ it was A+ in my book I wish I was younger and had the opportunity to raise 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝.

[@LewisAcreFarm]

This was perhaps my most favorite video of all! I enjoyed learning about the bees and how the hives function so much! What an incredibly miraculous world we live in! It always amazes me to learn about the bees and how they function together as a community, how honey is produced and all that goes into caring for them. Thank you for taking us with you today as you helped care for one of God's most industrious creatures on earth! Be blessed!

[@margiethurman3895]

Yes. I would enjoy watching her gather honey. Thank you for sharing this beautiful time with bees.

[@karens9213]

Wow! I learned more about bee's with this video then I have on regular TV nature shows, so thank you very much for sharing this Brooke, I absolutely loved it.

[@WhatchamacallitHomestead1]

Absolutely love that you and Tonya took the time to educate all of us about these fascinating creatures 🐝 . It was the best video and should be watched by everyone so they can learn how life sustaining bees 🐝 for us . Would love a Part 2 to the sequel 💐

[@cecew.]

Thanks for sharing this Brooke. It’s so interesting I never knew keeping bees and harvesting their honey was so complicated. It’s amazing what those little bees do for us! Loved this! ❤️😍🪰🍯

[@pamkammann1176]

Thank you so much for this video! Even at age 70 I love learning , especially anything to do with nature! An amazing video! ❤

[@alisonviscosi5518]

What an incredibly intellectual video Brooke. I feel like I could have watched this all morning! Great to be a little more knowledgeable about what is going on at the farm when you have to go around on your business rounds.

[@melindarozas1334]

So interesting!! Thank you Brooke for making this video!! Kudos to you for doing it after being stung so many times!!

[@laurasimpson7211]

Hi Brook! You are so brave with those bees, especially after being stung so many times!!!

[@melindarozas1334]

Indeed!!

[@phyllislowry6265]

Bees are such an interesting creature. My late father in law had bees for 2 or 3 years for his huge garden near Kansas City Ks. When it was hot, they would search for water & fan the hive to keep it cool. I had a couple of drops of water on my leg one afternoon when we were sitting outside & the kids were playing in the water in his yard & a bee landed on my leg & sucked the water up! It was so facinating! We all learned not to swat at the bees & usually they stayed away from us but it was hot & we had a lot of water & they came to get the water. He always kept a lot containers of water in the yard in the summer. He had a huge backyard.

[@carolineholmes7646]

Brooke I’m glad you showed this video! I learned a lot from Tanya. She explained everything so well. ❤ Have a wonderful day! God bless you! ❤

[@tmgetts]

Thank you, Tonya and Brooke for showing and educating us on the bee's. It was so interesting. .

[@beealll3475]

Such a wonderful insight into the hidden busy world of honey making! I knew the world of Bees was an intricately busy world but this is the first time I have seen into a working bee hive. It was fascinating to see their inner working environment and to learn some dynamics and mechanics of their hives was truly a wonder. Thank you, Mrs. Cog Hill, for this very informative video and for being such an involved student in asking great questions that lead to so many valuable tidbits of info from a very experienced Beekeeper. Thank you both…It was a honey of a treat. 🐝🍯🐝

[@jackiegammon6854]

Quite possibly the best hive care video I've ever seen. The casual conversation made it easy to watch- very informative! Thanks for sharing your bee chores with us today

[@palucas]

Thank you Tania for teaching all of us how you take care of the bees, I'm so impressed with your immense knowledge. I'm like Brooke, I am truly interested to learn but I don't think I would want to do it. It's just amazing how these little bees are so smart. I do know that our earth can't do without them. Thank you Brooke for this wonderful video. 🥰🥰🥰

[@carlawalker9301]

This video about bees is very educational, I didn't know what it took to be a bee keeper. Thanks for bringing this info to us.

[@sherricallahan2539]

Bees are amazing little creatures! Thank you, Tanya for teaching us!

[@ChrisCalmtheCrazy]

We can't find a beekeeper with a lot of knowledge like Tanya. I am so grateful she came on the show and is sharing her knowledge! We have only one hive left and I desperately want to learn to take care of it. I am fearful of loosing it. I very much want to go on this bee journey with you and Tanya!

[@lorainewhite727]

Try your local library for whatever books they have on beekeeping. My late Dad was introduced to beekeeping & never looked back. My Mom got him any & all sorts of books on the subject (any excuse to keep him home as his first passion was deepsea fishing & he did not swim. She was petrified he'd drown out at sea.) Besides our backyard he had hives all over including on a mountaintop farm (wildflower honey, bluegum/eucalyptus also from pine trees).

[@joclothier5536]

Hello there Brooke.For many years my husband and I had been looking for a beehive,without much success. Eventually we found a local chap who supplied schools with loads of beehives and he agreed to put a hive in our back garden.It’s just wonderful watching them being so busy.The great thing is that he comes and looks after everything about them and kindly gives us a few jars when he harvests the honey.!! Cant be bad.!!! As always,love to you all. xxxxxxx

[@salfromoregon4369]

This was a sensational video. My brain is bursting! Never had a clue how involved this was. Thank you Brooke and Tanya for sharing. Love from Oregon!

[@familydutton6568]

Wow 😲 it's amazing how much time God put in to making the 🐝🐝🐝🐝! So incredible!

[@kerrylynnparsons7879]

Good morning!!! This bee episode is extremely interesting and entertaining. I have learned so much. 🐝🐝 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

[@kimsellers1470]

My father was a beekeeper, so this brought back many memories for me. He taught us to stay still and remain calm when a bee was buzzing us. If you start swatting and get excited, they will sting. I never swat any stinging insects. Just close your eyes and relax until they fly away. Of course, if your being attacked by a colony, run! Lol!

[@lorenrobertson8039]

Good memories and good advice Kim! I remember having so many bees around the wild honeysuckle that us kids would also be sipping from. I was fascinated by the bees and wanted to befriend them...I was always into bugs! I didn't get stung often by bees, but those mean bees that were different in the persimmon tree when us kids would climb and eat persimmons would sting us. They were like large sweat bees. Probably a wasp of some kind. didn't keep us away! Oh what a wonderful time I had growing up back before all the world seems to have changed for the worse. I'm a 60's child.

[@kimsellers1470]

@@lorenrobertson8039 I'm a 60's child as well. We loved climbing the apple trees, but always got in trouble for doing it. Lol!

[@socalbeeremovalandrelocation]

That is a very true statement. That's exactly what I tell people. You might not get stung if you remain calm. But you forsure absolutely will get stung if you start swatting. You have to overcome the natural instinct to swat and panic.

[@ms7953]

50's and 60's kid here, too🙂! I lose patience VERY quickly with adults that unhinge when any just flying/buzzing/humming insect comes near them, and MORE so when adults don't help their children to do exactly what you said-to stay still and remain calm and wait 'til it leaves. I understand this is a behavior learned likely from family, and maybe because my parents were the WWII generation, and not much alarmed them, the first time a bee landed on me (and maybe it was fear that froze me), but it was a revelation to just share a few moments in time with this little creature. There was, of course, times I understood avoidance was a good strategy also. The Queen Anne's Lace vine my mother adored was always given w-i-d-e berth from me when riding my trike. Thank you Brooke for this video!

[@CynthiaBerry713]

That was awesome! Please continue to keep us in the loop with the beekeeping!

[@debrabrooks7611]

Thanking you and the Bee Lady for all the interesting things involved with bee keeping really enjoyed the video hope to see more❤

I really enjoyed seeing and learning about how and what to look for in the hives!! Very interesting video ! Yes Brooke please keep videoing the hive inspections so we can learn more about how yo maintain and inspect the hives and the health of the bees snd what is needed to have a healthy bee colony !! Thanks Brooke and Tanya!! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻

Fantastically informative video! I enjoyed that immensely. Tanya is an incredible beekeeper and teacher. ❤

Great information and I wish the bees the best for making honey and being a very healthy hive. Thanks for teaching us about bees.

Thank you for taking us along while you and Tonya were taking care of the bees! ❤

[@elainebouley4002]

Absolutely amazing video !! Raising bee’s is harder than raising kids 😂😂

[@Taffycat1]

Your video was so interesting. You seem to be such a natural when it comes to interviewing people Brooke, asking the sort of questions that so many of us would wish to know the answers to. It's just amazing to think how very hard those little bees work, thank you for gleaning and sharing so much information about them. I also admire your bravery after your recent painful experience, so glad you've not been put-off, although I understand how much the bee suit would help. All the best, hope you have a very Happy Easter. Annie, from Wales, UK. 😺

[@MsBee-tr9ti]

Brooke, this is absolutely fascinating!!! I could watch a weekly video about the bees every week!!!🥰🐝🥰🐝🥰🐝

[@ritafirestone761]

That was truly fascinating. I just learned so much about the bees. Their egg laying and the wax, etc. Thank you Brooke and the bee lady.

[@phillipflash52]

Brooke, watching Tonya and listening to y’all’s conversation while working with the bees was mesmerizing and informative. Thanks for sharing everything you do. I felt like I was right there with you and learned a lot about the bees behavior, and about what it takes to run a bee hive.

Very interesting. I considered getting hives but I have bears in my area and I knew having a hive would just attract problems. Instead I decided to tap my sugar maples and make maple syrup.

I have always loved listening to beekeepers explaining why they do what they do. It is so educational. It was a pleasure seeing the hive inspection. 💖💖💖

[@lc91902]

Thank you for sharing the wealth of knowledge about bees and beekeeping with us!❤ I can't keep them or have hives on my property, as I am deathly allergic to honeybee venom and carry an epipen. That being said, I still enjoy learning about them and respect their need for crops to thrive. God Bless, and Happy Easter. 👏👍🥰

[@justjessbeautyguide6814]

Me too, it stinks, because I'm also a gardener.

[@galady8632]

I also have eppi pens in my vehicle, garage, near every exterior door to my home and in my bag with my cellphone. In addition to being severely allergic I also have an inop brain tumor so I must be diligent. I would love to have bee hives but one mishap could be deadly. Thanks to Brooke and I can 'visually' experience it online.

[@whynotbekind1957]

Isnt it amazing when you watch something like just a little bee, and realize what an awesome thing that God has created. How special and intricate even the smallest of his creations are. Look at how perfect the hives they make are and how hard and harmoniously they work together. God has created ALL things in the world to work together in harmony…we all depend on each other. God wants us all to work together (and root for each other) just like nature itself does. Thanks so much to Tonya for doing this video with you…what a great teacher she is. Very knowledgable.
