STRONG Utah Bees | Working Bees with Utah Beekeeper

[@taddrienstra7247]

A still laying queen being superceded is a good chance for a quick split. Might as well let her have a last hurrah and get a benefit.

Love this video!! Great job on this vlog. I love bees and love to see people still interested in them! Hope your family has a wonderful day!

[@brucesbees]

Yes this was a lot of fun. Thanks for checking in!

[@NaturesImageFarmGregBurns]

What a fun video! Enjoyed seeing all the families! Great seeing Jonathan pop up in a video. Love the music addition too:)

[@brucesbees]

Thanks Greg. Your video was great as well. One of the best I have seen.

[@solidbutterproductions]

Great video. Its a little scary recognizing all the roads you took... ive stood right in that area. Btw i dont recommend getting premium gas at the small station there. I got water in my motorcycle tank last time i was there which was around the same time you were there.

[@brucesbees]

Ha! I don’t typically buy premium gas. Just too expensive.

[@WildwoodsBeekeeping]

Hey Bruce! Great video! Those are nice colony’s!

[@brucesbees]

Thanks Grayson. It was a good day!

[@CastleHives]

Seems like a great opportunity. He really has a great Apiary. Thanks for sharing Bruce.

[@brucesbees]

It was a lot of fun!

[@houstonsheltonbees814]

You're a blessed man Bruce 👍 beautiful family. Beautiful country out there. Thanks for sharing your buddy's yard, nice setup. Good health and God bless

[@brucesbees]

Thanks for checking in Houston. Has been a nice trip. Flying home tomorrow.

[@houstonsheltonbees814]

@@brucesbees have a safe flight brother 👍 God bless

[@GEEZBEEZ]

Nice family. Good bees and beautiful area. Thanks for the video. Take care.

[@brucesbees]

Yes! Good times. Thanks for checking in!

[@noahriding5780]

Wow. I had no idea you had a Utah connection. I'm in utah also. I'm just surprised we have a lot in common. And recognized those roads. Utah County also. It is a bit dry out here. We're sort of in bad drought years.

[@brucesbees]

Yes. I love Utah. I graduated from BYU in the early 90s. Met and married a Utah girl (best choice I ever made) and 3 of my kids live out there now.

[@noahriding5780]

Thumbs up.

[@waltertchapman32]

Just got my first grandbaby. So amazing. Enjoy your time there

[@brucesbees]

Thanks Terry! I had to finally break out the Guardian bee pants a couple of times to deal with my crazy bees. They work well.

[@waltertchapman32]

That's awesome, glad they helped out. If I worked that many bees I'd never take em off 😉

[@brucesbees]

They do get a little hot in our Alabama summers.

[@debraeggleston1248]

Yes, there are beekeepers in Utah :-) I'm sad that I don't have a KZbinr that originates from Utah. I wish I knew you were coming and we could all get together haha. you went right by my house in Provo. I love it here! I'm a backyard beekeeper and I have seven hives right now. Thank you for your video it was enjoyable to watch.

[@brucesbees]

Keep me posted and maybe we could check them out another time. I have 3 kids living in Utah now so we will be making trips out on occasion. I went to BYU in the early 90s and have a daughter there now. Small world.

[@debraeggleston1248]

I went to BYU as well. In the late '70s :-)

[@brucesbees]

Go Cougs! I think it’s going to be a good year!

[@MrBeachbums5]

Bruce, I cant believe you didn't come and see me in St. George. I'm your #1 fan!

[@brucesbees]

Maybe one of these days. We were in Leeds last summer for a family reunion. I’m glad to know there are some viewers out here. Thanks for checking in!

[@maggiewatte7911]

I’m on south central Idaho and we also had a slow roll into spring. It’s going to be a light honey year for me

[@brucesbees]

Ugh. Hopefully things roll turn out well for you and you can get them through winter. I know it’s tough up there.

[@kentmeredith2945]

Wow, it really is a small world! I live in Salt Lake, but I keep my 25 hives about 10 miles east of that area (near Payson-Santaquin). It would appear you have quite a Fanclub in Utah! 😂

[@brucesbees]

Man that is so cool. I have often wondered if there were many folks out here who knew who I was. Would like to grow the footprint a bit. My mother in law lives in Sandy and that’s where we are staying. I went to BYU back in the early 90s. Married the girl of my dreams. Even played a little football there back in the day. I love Utah. It has been good to me.

[@kentmeredith2945]

@@brucesbees no kidding?! I was at BYU from 93-95! I did pre-med, college of Life Sciences. I’ll bet we crossed paths a few times. How cool is that!?!

[@brucesbees]

I was actually there from fall of 88 to December 92. So just missed you. I love BYU. Have one daughter that graduated from there and lived in the Pleasant Grove area. My daughter that was I the video started at Troy but is a BYU student now. The little boy at the beginning of the video is her son. I have a son that lives in Sandy and my youngest just graduated from high school and will be attending Auburn. She is moving in Saturday! So we will be empty nesters.

[@HeatherSaltas]

I live in the Salt Lake area! I love my home state!

[@brucesbees]

Yes it is awesome. I do too! Spent 4 1/2 years out here, for an education, found an awesome wife and made a lot of great memories. Now 3 of my 4 kids live out here so who knows what the future holds?🤷🏻‍♂️

[@HeatherSaltas]

@@brucesbees how cool! Well if you ever decide to move back here I’d love too meet you! I just started with my bees in the spring and I have one hive and I love it! I was so glad to learn hive beetle# wouldn’t be a problem for me lol.

[@brucesbees]

We try to get out here a time or two a year. Maybe we could crack open a hive or two sometime down the road. Thanks for the support!

[@HeatherSaltas]

@@brucesbees I would love that! Please keep me in mind! Thanks for the videos!

[@brucesbees]

You’ll just have to remind me every once in awhile. I see a lot of comments. If you are able to go to Hive Life 2023 look me up. I will be there. Lots of creators will be. It’s a cool atmosphere where you can meet a lot of folks you see on KZbin. Good times.

[@1tonimaree]

Great video!

[@brucesbees]

Thanks Toni!

[@jaymackley3099]

Bees and the Y 😁

[@brucesbees]

Yes! Go Cougs!!!

[@vandubay]

Great video Bruce! Glad you got to see family and work bees! Any idea what kind of trees were those in the fields (orchards) around the 2:15 mark?

[@brucesbees]

I think they are cherries. They were just west of Santaquin, Utah.

[@JandHFarms]

Yep! Tart Cherries 🍒

[@brucesbees]

Thanks Jonathan!!!

[@craigkirich9646]

Bruce you're welcome in Pittsburgh to play with some Bees in shorts, tee-shirt and the red cap ;)

[@brucesbees]

Would love to do that. In reality I could have probably worked these bees in a veil. They were not bad at all.

[@glennsnaturalhoney4571]

He showed Styrofoam covers in first part of video but then had migratory covers on all the hives? When does he use them?

[@brucesbees]

I’m the winter time. Creates an upper entrance and ventilation. Pure the styrofoam directly over the bees and a lid on top. Uses the styrofoam instead of an inner cover in the winter. No inner cover in the summer.

[@RR-vf2bd]

Do they sell honey online? How to make order ?

[@brucesbees]

I sell honey online. brucesbees.com. Don’t think Jonathan does.

[@rodrigogabrecht7945]
