🔴Summer Cranberry Farm Work | Bumblebees Are Getting the Job Done

I have a treat for you all. Warren took the camera for a morning of cranberry farm work and I'm sharing that with you today. It was a very normal day. It started out with an inspection, moved to equipment maintenance, and then mowing. If you'd like your own #stillmowing sticker please visit my website where you can order one or two or three. Get one for all the mowers in your life. They are in a set with other stickers, but tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. cst they will be available as a stand alone sticker. And if you have questions regarding cranberry farming please leave those in the comments for a future cranberry farming Q&A. Thanks.

[@lanagraham1661]

Great job filming, Warren! Your lengthy job description boggles my mind. Top of the list - Must be a self-starter! You have my complete admiration!

[@melissahawkins5120]

I wish more farmers would blog and show us what all goes into growing and getting things out that we really just expect to show up in our stores. So much work goes into things we take for granted. Thank you Warren and so many many more.

[@acountrylife]

We enjoy watching farm content of all kinds, too. Thanks for watching.

[@susansage9908]

Thanks for giving us a peek into the world of cranberry farming, Warren. I have a million questions but will spare you- you work hard enough already! Much respect for you, your work ethic, knowledge, patience and intelligence. You and Jennifer make a great team!

[@acountrylife]

😀

[@nancyosgood777]

Thank you for farming Warren!!! I know I appreciate it!

[@merediths.6955]

Warren, I know vlogging isn’t your favorite thing but thanks for taking us along! I find the work you do very fascinating. I enjoyed learning about the bees! 😊

[@acountrylife]

Awesome, thank you!

[@charitywelch7877]

Warren did great! Hope he will get behind the camera and show more of his farming chores in the future.

[@karlablank6774]

I used to live in Wisconsin and never knew any of this about cranberries. So very interesting and informative. Thank you, Warren!!!

[@jenniferwooley673]

Warren did a great job showing us everything. He is great with the camera.

[@pams6792]

Good job Warren.

[@dianamiller5583]

Thank You Warren!! This was an informative video for me. I didn't know a lot of that information about the different bees. You're such an amazing father, husband, and worker!

[@acountrylife]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching.

[@kulickfamilyfarm4333]

[@acountrylife]

👋 Hi!! Thanks for watching.

[@robertastpetery7806]

Warren is such a great husband and father. Love watching and learning about cranberry farming. We sold our 50 acre orange grove in Florida 2 years ago.

[@acountrylife]

I’m going to guess it was bittersweet. If you have recommendations for visiting an orange grove, please let me know. Near Pensacola.

[@amberlovejoy]

Yay Warren!! I love take the Internet to work days😂😂 i know he is not a fan of vloggong but he does such a great job.. i too have so many questions 😂😂 i absolutely love bees and learning all about them.. i watched a video not long ago of a garden tour and all through the garden there were big fat fuzzy bees everywhere and several were all cuddled up on separate flowers and under leaves taking naps . Was the cutest thing ever ❤❤

[@whitneydial8847]

We love warren cam!!!❤❤❤

[@jeanetteholtz1848]

The videos about setting up the bees are what got the rest of the family so interested in "Jennifer's family." I personally feel a greater attachment to all things cranberry.

[@dianerajkowski1291]

[@acountrylife]

Wonderful! Pretzels in the mustard is chef’s kiss.

[@Madelinechriston]

Thank you Warren! This was really interesting. I know that Jennifer and the family are so proud of the farm and all the hard work you do to keep it in the best shape possible! I can’t also see how much you both love, care and worry about one another. It’s just wonderful!❤

Hi Warren, I really enjoyed both the technical and academic explanations of the cranberry pollination process, using the bumblebees and honey 🍯 🐝 bees. I'm definitely not a bee whisperer!!! So pleased that the cranberries are growing 🙌 Great to see a part of your role in Jennifer's country life. Thank you. God bless the Brockmans. 🎉

My husband and I watched it last night and thank you for sharing. I honestly didn't know there was a difference between honey bees and bumble bees. You are such a hard worker - it must be difficult to take a day off?

[@acountrylife]

Yes. Getting time away takes a lot of planning and praying.

[@susiescofield490]

Thanks for the informative video.

[@acountrylife]

Glad it was helpful!

[@debgordon6542]

You're getting to be an ole pro at this now, Warren...well except for forgetting the camera :-) Didn't think I could learn much more abt cranberry farming, but boy was I wrong. What is a nematode? Hope there's a part 2. Thanks for yourtime

[@acountrylife]

Shh. We don’t want his success to go to his head.🤭

[@cindiallain8542]

Nice videoing Warren. More rain in today. I know on the East by the lake we are getting saturated. Thank you for the video.

[@acountrylife]

Too much rain for us during bloom. It just won't stop.

[@annieg2288]

I really enjoyed watching this vlog thx xx

[@acountrylife]

So glad!

[@karenchakey]

Sure glad your getting some showers. In Ohio just lots of heat in the 90s and humid, great job Warren on the video

[@acountrylife]

Over the last week it hasn't stopped raining and now it's too much. We wish it would stop so the bees would be able to pollinate.

[@pamelaking4414]

Lot of work ty

Warren and Jennifer you are amazing I love watching you and your Beautiful Family 🙏🏻✝️☮️📿💐🌹🌺🍀💗

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for vlogging Warren. Really appreciate you adding us to your busy work day.

[@Darlene-pf9os]

I first watched your vdeos when Warren took the camera to do frost watch, I've been waiting each week since for new videos. Thank you for sharing part of your life with this city girl that has a country heart. Wishing your family a great cranberry season. BTW, Warren is a natural, you have taught him well.

[@acountrylife]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@lisanowakow3688]

My Mom said her Grandmother lived off of cranberry jam toast for years, it was all she would eat. In my garden in the NM high desert the bumble bees and wasps will pollinate. When I had honey bees I never saw them out.

[@acountrylife]

They are finicky.

[@janesecaraway3995]

I love when we get to ride for the day with Warren! He's getting quite good at it! Thanks Warren and Jennifer!! ❤😊

[@deniselakatos5418]

Hi Warren. What a treat to spend this time with you. I was going to ask why you have both honey and bumble bees but I guess you already answered that. I liked when you said a lot can happen from blossom to berry. Good job!

[@acountrylife]

He’s really good at explaining the process of growing.

[@karenduhaylonsod8901]

So interesting, hope to see more. Thanks Warren

I enjoyed this video. Very interesting. 👍😎😎♥️. Hi Jennifer 👋👋

[@WillowsGarden]

Hi Warren, Jennifer and sweet family! We had honey bees and they were so tame you could sit beside the stands and watch them work. I’m not sure but some stands can be very aggressive depending on the breed. We bought a stand once that was so aggressive we had to get rid of them because of the kids. Thanks Warren for sharing your time with us and enlightening us cranberry farming. Hope everyone has a blessed night and weekend!

[@acountrylife]

Honeybees are unpredictable for sure.

[@cherylchamberland6744]

Great info. We will be visiting Wisconsin for the first time this Fall. We will be there during the Cranberry Festival. Excited to visit at harvest time.

Sixteen hives ruined by black bears. I would be scared for the family to have so much bear activity so close to the house. Pretty soon Warren will have his own channel.

Good question!

[@tinafriesen7115]

Hello

[@jenk2tatv546]

Do you ice fish your cranberry beds in the winter?

[@acountrylife]

No. But we do ice fish the reservoirs.

[@henrycooks1883]

Are cranberry blooms scented? If I remember correctly you rent honey bees, who gets the honey, you or the bees owner?

[@acountrylife]

I can’t smell the cranberry blossoms, but Warren can. It’s faint. Also, the bee keeper collects the honey; usually they give us some.

[@user-zf1qi7cd8b]

Can the weather ever get too wet for cranberries?

[@acountrylife]

Yes it can. Too much rain is hard to get rid of.

[@TheTandumbs]

Do y’all harvest the honey?

[@acountrylife]

No. The honeybees are rented so the beekeepers harvest the honey. Usually they give us some.

[@TheTandumbs]

I hope the bears leave your bees alone.
