CAMERA'S CAMERA'S CAMERA'S Kevin, To much activity around there Brotha. Your on the right track thinking that crazy neighbor is up to something. i haven't been on your channel long, i can tell that guy ain't rite. Good luck with that. I'm half way through the Lunatic and its a must read you all!

[@nitajones1293]

Yes, the neighbor deserves whatever retribution he gets and the people who is responsible for using poisonous spray should have their licenses taken away + whatever eles is just.

[@losborne5]

100% cameras

[@cindyross314]

Yes! Camera’s

[@ghostaliaz]

I would add camera's and sensors across the whole grid of his land. So if any movement or human bodies are detected then the tech will catch it by way of video and sensors and send a notification to his smart phone, computers and tablets in his house and he can even hook it into his security systems also if he has one.

[@jimbrown4652]

I would love to have the Lake family as my neighbors. Everyone else, not so much. Shout out to the kind young lady across the pond. That was very nice of you. 💙💙💙

[@donniemarsden2567]

Kevin, it strikes as being odd that your neighbor said he was applying LIME to his hay field??? Years ago my first husband and I had a "lime" business. We lived in SW Iowa..corn and soybean country along with hay fields. He was never asked (nor did he ever) apply lime to a hay field. After the corn and soybeans were harvested farmers would ask for their soil to be tested in order to determine if it was lacking in any nutrient. Corn particularly sucks soil nutrients. Hence farmers would rotate their crops from one field to another, etc. and let certain fields lay dormant for one season until the soil was treated and back in good condition. NEVER, EVER did we apply lime to a hay field. Makes no sense. Lime was only applied to bare soil..not the actual crop. I truly think that you should look further into this. I think he fed the lady a load of BS and she bought into it.

[@ggshandsomeboy5103]

Yes, the woman should never try and befriend anyone she's investigating. And, if the neighbor has deep pockets she may have been purchased easily.

[@patriciadanelek6663]

Kevin I believe your neighbour is a sociopath and he ain’t no dummy! However he is still a POS. Be well Kev. ❤️ 🇨🇦❤️

[@kelleymccoy6453]

If this "crayon" guy is supposed to be disabled, maybe you could send pictures of him on his tractor to the proper authorities to see. Fraud is hard to deny if it is on film.

[@genevahenderson5622]

Hey KEVIN. Glad your getting some answers. And really glad your bees are doing well. Maybe you should put those cameras up on all corners of your property. Prayers for you guys!!

[@robl4377]

If a person maintains their pool, they will never get mosquitoes.

[@mariagrant3706]

Totally agree- a pool if maintained properly should not have mosquitoes - I have bromeliads around my house and not many mosquitoes- James Cook University came to a Bromeliad Society meeting at my place and they said mosquito wrigglers die off because because the Bromeliads create a hormone that kills off the wrigglers - worth having these plants to get a natural eliminator or cut down of mosquitoes - I had at least 3000 Bromeliads at my previous house and never had a mosquito problem 👍🏿🇦🇺

[@mariaialegria8256]

OMG....that sounds great Brother praying for you and your family and your homestead. Glad you are contacting the proper authorities for this unjust incident hope they will take proper and just action against the persons responsible for it all. Glad you are learning lots of new things about your bees and glad you are joining that bee group . Take care Brother may the Lord Bless you and Dearly and your son Daniel. Much love your friend and fan Bella.

[@leahvillmer9853]

Catnip would be great to keep mosquitoes away. They hate it! It causes them pain. Your bees will love the catnip when it blooms. Cleo will love it. You can also make catnip tea. Narcissists excel at making great first impressions if it benefits them. All of those theories you mentioned are entirely possible.

[@suziedoozie6478]

If you have purple martins in your part of the country set up houses for them and they will eat your mosquitoes! Check it out!

[@karenknapp4918]

I live in a neighborhood and do nothing know my neighbors at all! Don’t want too either! As long as they leave me alone I am good! I am totally antisocial and happy that way. So is my husband.

[@justcurious5618]

I take vitamin b1 in the summer to keep mosquitoes from biting. You do have to take it every day and it takes a few days to a week to start working. My sister heavily sprays herself with repellent and still gets bitten right beside me. Works for me and has for years.😁

[@teresamorales6444]

Cameras and lights, everywhere, especially when you are in town. The guy is nuts, obsessed and this type doesn't forget or forgive.

[@sandrablake2172]

glad you were able to save some of your bees!

[@chriswatase5074]

Hi Kevin, try planting marigolds and citronella. Mosquitoes do not the scent.

[@larryhart9831]

So Happy You Saved Some Of The Bees Kevin Hope They Are All Good Sending Prayers Your Way My Friend.

[@KristiesLexicon]

Put a night vision camera on your bees and don't tell anyone.

[@DitzyDorisAnn]

Have you considered planting wildflowers? Planting wildflower gardens keeps them closer so there is less chance of contamination. I am scared of bees myself. But I do realize and appreciate their importance. I plant flowers just for bees and butterflies, but I plant them on the back of my property.

[@michellestevens5884]

I am curious if the so called lime has damaged your fruit trees in any way. Is the fruit still safe to eat ? Maybe a couple of dogs and some cameras would help.

[@sharleengribble-robinson5408]

Plant citronella around the pond, your porch, the campground - anywhere mosquitoes are. And heirloom marigolds around the borders of your gardens. I'm 70 and that's what worked for my grandma. Natural pest control.

[@sallyperrin2970]

Oh no, I’m so sorry for your bees. So glad you have a solution.

[@shawn9919]

I sure wouldn't want to eat that guy's beef!

[@kathrynclaridge6476]

Hi Kevin. Here's a simple way to keep mosquitoes away when you are on your porch. Bring a nice large fan outside! Simple and doesn't harm the environment. Glad to hear that your bees are surviving and you have a great support group to learn from . Love to you and your beautiful family.

[@kathykraus7221]

Great solution! Hopefully you'll get rain also!

[@rebeccamunoz4596]

I think your right on the mark w/ who done it Kevin. Vindictive neighbor will reap what he sows I eventually.

[@gailfox6791]

Hello Kevin. U have been on this planet as long as I have. U seem like a good judge of character, I happen to keep my life drama free myself. I'll say this, maybe a motion detector camera and lights?? Just a thought. I am excited that u were able to save some, thanks to the ladies info. That was awesome. I'm happy to know about the pools as well. I'm sure most people have no clue about the affects as well. Looking forward to hearing updates. U guys have a wonderful evening and blessings to all.

[@lisad853]

I feel sad that someone would do something like this to be so hurtful not only to you but for all the living things around you! Keep on keeping on Kevin keep your family safe! 🙏😇🙏😇

[@Tinamarcelle345]

They should have taken soil samples

[@justcurious5618]

I remember you saying that about your tire when that happened. I wondered when they had the opportunity to do that.

[@kamicrum4408]

Hmmm.... what ever happened to the weirdo who tried to come into your home through your bed room window, while you were resting& your wife was asleep? Was that POS neighbor?

[@Joyfullscroll]

Yes that was. He went into Another's home that way. It was a different neighbor he broke into. Said neighbor woke up from a nap with said person standing nearby.

[@elizabethlaneberry]

I just learned more from you in less than 30 min than I have read or heard about in over a year! Tremdious thank you for sharing the info you have obtained! Dually noted! BTW...(so i heard) that lots and lots of salt blowing in the wind (or a fan) with sunshine burns spots in a Hayfield?🤷

[@TheH20please]

I cannot understand how soil samples would not have been a priority!

[@ruthannolp8760]

Kevin, I hope your cat is ok, with all the funny stuff going on I would be careful and protect her.

[@teresamariner4238]

Yes! Cats clean themselves regularly so it could be on her paws and she could get sick. Prayers for you all and all your critters.

[@grandmothermoon2490]

I'm hoping Cleopattra is well, I haven't seen her on any videos for awhile now, she's such a sweet little soul, if you know, cld you please let me know, thank you !

[@lgoldsmith56]

I'm out in California and a lot of people who have ponds or pools use what they call mosquito fish to eat mosquitoes and their eggs rather than chemical sprays. You might want to check into it.

[@paula_a2z]

Perhaps you need to set your trail cams to monitor your bee hive or your next batch of chickens. If it is a person, they may not try it again after all of the government activity but people tend not to be rational when they do things like this. Protecting your family and your property is important. Be safe, Mr. Lake.

[@crystalphillips696]

That's scary to think someone could be going on your property. Stay safe please.🙏

[@renahuchingson7738]

This world is crazy. I used to live next to a lady that we had to put up a privacy fence between our property. She and her daughter were so evil. She made everyone thing she was the sweetest little old lady , but she wasn't. You can't put anything past those kinds of people. They have nothing better to do with their life than to cause problems. They are evil. God bless from East Texas.

Oh good, glad there’s hope for the bees 🐝

[@tammykriskie2233]

Hi Kevin 👋 I'm glad your getting some answers for the Death of your Bees, and happy you saved some .. Since you live out in the country maybe put cameras up close to your bee hives and other spots. Sounds like someone might potentially be sneaking around at night. I'm like you I like to be left alone. I like people .. I just don't wanna talk or see anyone when I go outside. Anyways .. Have a good safe night. Hugs to Dearly and Daniel ..

[@florencewelch9877]

I think I've been watching your channel for almost 3 years. I love it. Just started watching your wife channel as well. My dad married a wonderful woman from the Philippines. They had a son, my brother in 1993. I was born in 1966. I'm Native American. From the Spirit Lake Tribe in North Dakota. My dad was full blooded Norwegian. My daughter and my brother are the same age just 3 months apart. It was an awesome time in my life to share that with my dad's new wife. My dad passed away 2014. They were together 20 years. I just love watching your channel. The last three days that you shared were very impressive and inspiring and disturbing. But. If I could I would raise bees and become a bee keeper. My dad believed in privacy like you do. He lived 13 miles from town. My dads wife is going to rebuild the house on their land and maybe in a couple years I may talk her into to letting me keep bees there. Thanks.

[@gloriachapman5618]

I wish you and your family peace and happiness. I would be truly blessed to have neighbors like you. Your property looks beautiful. The sounds of the birds are beautiful.

[@debihalsey2247]

Bat boxes (houses) are great for mosquito control too. Simple plans on line. Thank you for sharing your stories.

[@eaglegoldengate4184]

Purple Martins housed near your pond are an awesome force against mosquitoes!

[@tybraaten]

Also spread some wildflower seeds along your perimeter in the fall. It’ll help your bees find some local spots to pollinate.

[@patricik3adykohollandswort668]

Thank you for the update! Continued prayers and positive thoughts!

[@DB-po8rs]

👍👍👍 good luck with everything. I put cameras and motion detectors up around our place. They can call me paranoid but I believe bad times are coming. I like to have a heads up. You are taking this way better than I could.

[@mariaialegria8256]

Hey Brother i know people just like that !!!! Please watch your back try putting infrared cameras around bet you catch something strange on those.

[@cilandialane3084]

Thank you so much. This was a very helpful video. I love security cameras that can't easily be stolen. And that you can use the phone to monitor everything and on a monitor in the house.

[@jerrystapleton1168]

Hope all will be back to normal soon. Did you ever think about a colony of mason bees. All they do is pollinate, stay near home.

[@Cdees57]

I live in town Kevin and cannot tell you the name if one neighbor. I keep to myself a lot and totally understand your need to do the same. I'm praying you can save the bees you have left. As far as the guy using the fields around you goes, I would not trust him for a second. I'm surprised the lady from the state bought into his story. Never heard of lime on a crop before. When I used to garden we Always added lime during the late fall to give back to the soil. Somehow I feel like all the animal issues and the bees are being done by 2 legged "people". Too many wild animals about during summer for BF to steal your animals and they don't use pesticides. Good luck going forward. Hidden game cameras and maybe a couple of dogs to help guard the property would be a plus.

[@TheOnlyKillena]

What about the hay he will feed to his cattle? It'll poison them and then us. So they will scrap it and toss it out so they don't eat it? He can't and won't be able to feed it to them!! I do hope you can save the remainder of your bees. Good luck to you and family. And animals around you. Praying for all 🙏🙏🙏 love you crazy K and giggly girl!!!

[@aynedtaylor]

I am so saddened about your bees, butterflies and the bunny.. I am happy to learn that your queen is alive and healthy. I am also very pleased that you are investigating this horrific incident. It seems that this person about whom you have spoken, comes onto your property too often and that is sickening. I agree, CAMERAS, CAMERAS, CAMERAS! In addition to the big ones that you have, use some smaller ones with night vision that are not easy for a trespasser to see at night. Your bees are priceless and we need many many more in America.

[@susangosling6122]

The plot thickens!!

[@alisonlee7944]

Hi Kevin, i am so pleased some of the bees are drinking the sugar water, ☺️ Bees are so amazing,🥰 thank goodness the Goverment is looking into the poisoning, that Individual needs to be severely punished. 😒😒

[@tybraaten]

Get some fish in your pond to eat the mosquito larva.

[@loumiller1328]

Wow... Happy to hear the agencies showed up so quickly. It's ironic that they didn't take samples though? Taking anyone at their word... Still should have taken samples, just to rule out any possibilities. So wonderful that you have a group going forward to become a keeper. ❤️🙏

[@celestejohnson9227]

This is heartbreaking, I’m a bee haver as well and it makes me sick that this has happened. Hope your hive recovers and you get some concrete answers.

[@joyceallan6046]

You need cameras right away and soil samples need to be taken I agree someone is doing this glad you are not letting it go

[@anitaboddington4837]

Yeah it sounds like you need to put cameras up around your perimeter there so you can catch them in the act

[@peacefulpatriot2173]

What about the cities that spray for mosquitos? I think most cities do spray for them.

[@SaSuEnglish]

Good for you for joining a Beekeeping club. That's is the advice my bee mentor suggested was the best thing to do for your bees longevity. Also if you, or your viewers, are veterans; the University of Michigan has a excellent online beekeeping program called Heros 2 Hives. Check it out it's worth it!

[@djgovan4422]

There are also groups that look for "foster homes " for bee hives . You just have to have the space to have a hive they will put their hive on your property service it and often give you back some of the honey as " rent."

[@shellybielawski1773]

Good luck Kevin. Did you show him the picture of the rabbit?

[@terrifoster1847]

Do you have places that you could put trail cameras out to see what is going on, where no one could see them? If it is lime on grass and spraying for mosquitoes causing this, I don’t think there would be any honey bees left. I think it is that guy doing this. Good luck in saving the hive.

[@brianlawrence8867]

A trusty dog would detect an intruder 24/7. Would make great faithful companion also, unless you already have one. Choked up when I saw all those dead bees.

[@jand1558]

Kevin, you need to protect your property. Please consider cameras! You get it on video then you have proof. Need to put cameras up high so they are not tampered with. Stay safe!

[@djgovan4422]

I agree Kevin . I have thought so for sometime. I think that you have a two legged pest who visits your property and not a PBFS. As someone who has lived in the country my whole life there is always some trace of livestock being taken. The only thing I know that leaves very little trace is the human kind of pest. Around here is an increasing incidence of people getting small portable livestock and pets stolen to be " resold " especially in remote country areas. I also wonder how many chicken dinners or rabbit stews someone in your locality might have had for free recently?

[@laurenturner3578]

Lol...it took me seven years to learn my neighbor’s name. And I live in a subdivision. But we are Yankees and we really do live in little unsocial bubbles. For the safety of my family, we just don’t socialize much beyond a nice smile and wave. That is very heartening news about the bees. Sugar water! Glad to hear the Queen is healthy and you have a chance going on with them.

[@barbarahonea140]

We had a 100 acre farm, raising cattle, creating pasture also. We never had to put insecticide for any reason. Never had problems with June bugs. I have doubts of a June bug problem. Did you have a lot of June bugs seen around your house or around other areas even in the wooded area. If not then what's the real reason for other than just to poison.

[@barbarahonea140]

Instead of spraying mosquitoes , there is types of killing pills or liquid that can be put in pools, ponds and etc.

[@billpuhljr1073]

I'm running late here tonight Kevin. 130am. but it is time to invest in some surveillance camera's around the house. Camera's don't lie. Glad some of the bee's may survive. Goodnight Sir.

[@sarahughes6452]

Dang it! I wish I would have known that you autograph the Etsy books! I missed that somehow; I literally just ordered “The Lunatic” and “Isle of Kapre” an hour or so ago. I’m such a huge fan of yours, simply for being a kind human being, it would have been my honor to have autographed copies. I’ll know for future purchases. I look forward to reading them.

[@ruthannolp8760]

[@dorothymiller2650]

You might want to replant wildflowers for the bees

[@laurenturner3578]

When your neighbor is willing to start doing harmful things to you, this is one of the worst things ever. And don’t forget Occam’s Razor: the simplest answer is best. Can you take a soil sample and get it analyzed?

[@bradb8224]

Kevin, I have the answer for mosquito control without spray. Add some Rosy Red minnows to your pond and they will eat the mosquito larvae. We keep them in our livestock tanks to control algae and mosquitoes and it works! You can find some videos about it right here on KZbin.

[@karensalcido3632]

Move your bees away from that other property as far as u can move it

[@robingalloway3541]

We use to live right across from an orchard. Awful every time they sprayed. The solution sounds like my hummingbirds mix! Yes the bees love it too.

[@brittanynicole1106]

I'm in NC and I saw the ad on TV about the free setup for bees. It's true.

[@debihalsey2247]

Put some fish in your pond. Excellent mosquito control. Can even be goldfish.

[@peggywilcox9244]

Kevin I truly like your analytical mind and the way you think through the possibilities/probabilities of a sociopathic behavior steeped in revenge because you would not be bullied into allowing this individual onto your land to take the hay. I do, however, believe that the reason you lost all those butterflies, the wee rabbit covered in tumors and the sudden loss of June bugs had nothing to do with just the proposed lime spreading. This lime was heavily laced with pesticides....in my opinion. As you pointed out about the disappearance pf those lovely rabbits and chickens, there was no sign of struggle. So once again it begs the question of bi-pedal intention. This does not include Him, Her, It or They in the equation. Be careful Kevin as I believe this guy is about to snap into greater ill deeds. He has agricultural officers believing he`s a nice guy, so he now believes he`s exempt of any suspicion. I do wonder if he is related to Ted Bundy. In his pea brain he is thinking `How dare you tell me I can`t have that hay...I`ll show you that you can`t have what you want either.

[@rosec9486]

[@lionsroar7076]

Your family is how we are leave me the hell alone and be on your way. But at the same time I swear there’s unfortunate situations that comes with it. Ppl keep messing with our cars hitting them nails etc. As sad as it is we had to put cameras up. I can’t tell you on how many occasions those things save our butts! I say totally worth having! I would just make sure you get a good system with night vision and high resolution. This way you can identify what needs to be identified. Man my heart goes out to you and your family. Good Luck

[@carolb3946]

You know, I'll bet Steven Smith, below, could possibly be right. Do you use any motion sensor cameras at home? Also, you are a good "educator"!

[@mamakat4308]

Yeay for the BEES 🐝😄👏🙌

[@terihoward571]

Yep. Families like that seem to "get off" terrorizing neighbors who aren't related. They might even go as far as involving non family neighbors to harass you as well. I've dealt with that all that too. It's exhausting and sometimes it's hard to get local law enforcement to do anything about it. Hang in there. Get you cameras up. It's a must have at this point. Documentation is everything.

[@cattitude7809]

So are they just going to take the annoying neighbors word for it that he just sprayed lime??? Aren't they going to take soil samples to check?? I would never take him for his word, and they shouldn't either!! It doesn't make sense that it would be from someone spraying around their pool, because even if any of your neighbors have pools, look how far away from you they are!! Unlike the hay land that was sprayed which is right across the street and right next door to your property!!

[@wendyeader261]
