[@BeekeepinginNorthernOntario]

" Books yes Books are great."...I still have a few things to sort out but it is in the works. Thanks Scott

No intro? No problem I hummed it 😊. Hives I have snelgroved always produce the most honey. Really enjoy your videos. I tell new beekeeper to watch your videos to learn how to do hive inspections.

"No intro? No problem I hummed it"...I built a new pc miss placed a lot of things..I will go look for that file. "I tell new beekeeper to watch your videos "...Thank you very much. Thanks Scott

When I started in beekeeping I used your design for my hives and love the setup.

[@BeekeepinginNorthernOntario]

Good to hear!..But it was not my idea...I borrowed it from a man from Southern Ontario Dave Erie. But I am glad you are enjoying it I sure find it so much easier to work the hive without twisting your back. Thanks. Scott

[@GeorgeCMcRae]

Scotty! excellent! I used Snelgrove board to great success. I think they are a terrific piece of kit. Very much looking forward to to the rest of the videos.

[@BeekeepinginNorthernOntario]

Thank you George, I plan to use them more this year.

[@houstonsheltonbees814]

The books would be awesome thank you.

[@BeekeepinginNorthernOntario]

Thank you.

A cloak board video sounds good. Really any "how I build bee equipment video" is very handy

[@BeekeepinginNorthernOntario]

Thank you, I will pull it off the back burner, working on building frames at the moment. Scott

[@bullwinkled790]

Like your style, subscribed and looking forward to more. Will look over your older stuff as well. Bee keep in interior alaska - like the fact that you operate out of northern Ontario.

[@BeekeepinginNorthernOntario]

" Bee keep in interior alaska"... Then I am in the tropics for real...LOL Thanks for watching. Scott

[@dougpeterson5257]

Thanks for the video, I have plans for the Snelgrove board around here some place but now I can follow your description 😊

[@BeekeepinginNorthernOntario]

If I try to use plans thing never seem to work out , for me a picture is better. Thanks for watching Scott

[@wildbadrehna5780]

Future Scotty .... how fun ! I'm thinking you should just Beam up the viewer from Australia to help you !

[@BeekeepinginNorthernOntario]

That is hilarious, it is always good to start the day off with a good laugh. Thank you. Scott

[@russellkoopman3004]

Fancy stuff Scott but thanks for making it look so easy. I built myself several double screen dividing boards that can be used somewhat in the same manner. Thanks for the YT video.

[@BeekeepinginNorthernOntario]

"I built myself several double screen dividing boards "...Yes I think very much the same thing. Thanks. Scott

[@waynerathwell7063]

[@BeekeepinginNorthernOntario]

Thank you, I am working on a web site. I will post something here on youtube when its done.

Looking at your plywood it looked a little weathered as does my . I had to sand the plywood at the doors even tho I painted it so the doors would open and close smoothly. That is a good idea how you are making them . The first I was watching one of your videos I looked, looked, looked an I thought am I seeing things then I thought well is the camera doing this . I said what the crap am I seeing this correct. It was your boxes with the frames side ways it there LOL. Hahaha . BUT l got thinking about that and I said that is a good idea. Let me tell you something I learned a long time ago and Bob also showed this idea on one of his videos an it works great . You know that most of the time the queen will run to the dark side of the frames SO on your inspection when you are pulling frames out you start pulling frames on the FAR SIDE from you an pull them coming towards you because when you pull the frames the dark side of the frame will always be the first side you see as you lift up the frame an there is more of a chance the queen being on that dark side . Sorry this was so long but I thought you could try it or if anyone else may try it . Good lock . Thanks

"Looking at your plywood it looked a little weathered as does my " ..The first few I made I just looked around the yard and found that old plywood, the next video i have some new stuff. "It was your boxes with the frames side ways" ...It lets me sit at the back of the hive and lift the frames out without twisting my back, it is so much nicer to work. I will have to think about working the frames from the far side first, I understand the idea of the queen is hiding in the dark, but I'm not sure I want to reach over the hive to get to the far side. I have notice so many time that you pass your hand over the bees that sometime they fly up, there are time when I don't even like to pass the hive tool from one hand to the other without moving my hands back closer to me so as not to pass the tool while my hands are over the hive. If I remember I will try to show and talk about this when doing a hive inspection this summer. Thank you for the ideas. Scott

[@eastsussexbeesandwildlife5801]

Ta so much for that, I think you would laugh at my woodworking skills😅

[@BeekeepinginNorthernOntario]

"I think you would laugh at my woodworking skills"...I find that the bees don't judge ...LOL Thanks for Watching. Scott

[@jonathanswoboda]

I run all my hives sideways as well... stole that from you... so much easier working from the back

[@BeekeepinginNorthernOntario]

"so much easier working from the back"...you got it. Thanks Scott

[@jasonseaward8506]

If you have some books i could read online like you said i would absolutely love it. How would i go about getting a copy of some of these books?

[@BeekeepinginNorthernOntario]

I am working on a web site not sure when it will be done, but when it is I will post something here on youtube.
