[@AsheTingey]

Hey there! Mom of 7 here, and am truly fascinated by your channel. I've been kinda doing my own thing for my family for a bit, but am so greatful I found your channel. I can't wait to continue this journey and so excited to hear your coming out with a book! This year will do amazing things for all of us! I believe things happen for a reason. So thankyou for sharing your knowledge.

[@nova9422]

Love your videos. Just starting out with my own little apothecary and I have been watching all your videos now for like a month, month and a half. Your knowledge has helped me so much and it’s very approachable to understanding so many things. Hope to meet you one day in person!! (I’m in Florida) thanks again!

My mother's family were share croppers in the boot heal of Missouri during the great depression of the 30s and 40s... The only thing they ever had to go to the grocery store for was flour and sugar. They had everything else. My grandmother made my moms dresses out of flour sacks because they always had flowery designs on them. You will do great taking care of your family because you are already waay ahead f the curve. I really do appreciate your channel Kaylee. Keep doing God's work.

As a beekeeper myself it so cool to see what you are seeing in the middle of an Illinois winter. They are amazing creatures.

I knew my friend had a fig tree so I looked up the benifits of growing your own fig tree. And the leaves of the fig tree surprised me you might want to check out fig trees

[@elena2010111]

Thank you! Your videos inspired me to become a beekeeper 🐝 I also signed up for your herbal class 🤩

I can't believe melting snow and flying bee's!! Here in Northern Michigan we've had over 10 feet of snow, we've got a lot to melt through. 😂

Where did you get your bee veil? I love it! Is it homemade?? Do you have a tutorial? Thanks! 🐝

[@cherrylanefarmllc4735]

I’d love to know, too where to get a bee veil like that, please?! ❤🐝

[@heathergustafson4237]

She is also one of the best! My opinion. When I listen it’s thorough but simple to follow and understand. This a treasure and fun for me. Thank you

[@ElizabethBarnes2Warrior]

Yes, please write the story, as well as video telling! Having it written down is a precious safeguard, spoken with experience of both holding such treasures of those before me as well as loss of not being done. Bless you!

Beautiful ❣️ Love your bees. Thankful for this video

[@TheHoneystead]

They are a joy to watch💛

[@CatherineChhabra]

Thanks for sharing. Love what you do! Can you share how many people work with you on your homestead and a little bit about division of labor? Trying to see how realistic my goals are. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@marthab4172]

Hello friend! This was a fun one , enjoyed it , kept it real ! Nice film ❤!😊😊

[@jacksprat1556]

I want to start slow with just maybe 1 or 2 hives. Do you have a video on how to start being a small beekeeper and what’s involved? If not could you do that? Like a process from A-Z and how to do things holistically with bees?

[@PlantLover420_]

Loved this video! I can’t wait to become a beekeeper! ❤

[@TheHoneystead]

Cheering you on!!! 🙌

[@traciewestbrook3974]

I can’t wait to learn more about your bees

[@waynebecker7565]

I can't wait to see more videos of your bees

[@susangeys6808]

How awesome! ❤ I just LOVE your videos 😊

[@reneemoorefrost4871]

I am so ready for bee season!!! Its 65* here in NC foothills

[@samanthahoos9827]

❤ Thank you for this video and yes, bought the mushroom blend! 😊 2025 is my year for taking my own advice and products that I create rather than caring for others before myself. I baked various sourdough breads today and froze some for summer eating, but plan to strain tinctures Friday once my dishwasher’s repaired (deep cleaning jars).

[@TheHoneystead]

2025 sounds like a great year!

[@waynebecker7565]

Love all your videos

Video request submission "How to grow turmeric." All the sweetest details

[@davidstick9207]

Grow it just as you grow ginger. You can actually raise either fairly successfully in cloth containers. You won't get huge yields...but you can easily produce enough for your needs. Search "how to grow ginger".

[@Ai-ip2go]

David, I have old stor bought turmeric root that is starting to dry out. Can I use that to grow sprouts of new root growth. If yes, what time of year. And what process. Is the sprouts better to consume than the new full-grown turmeric? Is growing turmeric and ginger exactly the same, or is there best practices for unique turmeric?

[@ErlaTheGreat]

Thank you for the video.

❤❤❤ was talking to the cat about this yesterday lol

Back in the day, I had a pen pal in Flint, Michigan. I have fond memories of that.

[@darlenegripshover6042]

I’ve heard that if you have a double row fencing, that deer will not jump the fence, I don’t know you may want to check into that.

[@stevehoover16]

Awesome video thank you

Hot water causes the metal ring to expand away from the glass. It works if the ring rust hasn't fused to the glass. I use the hot water method and tap the ring (lightly) on the cupboard to cause the lid to decompress.

[@Scott2510A]

Hi. What was the temperature in your area to allow the bees to be that active? Your apiary looks really nice in the fenced in area. Are you planning any early mite treatments? I am a bit further north than you. I checked my apiary, yesterday, but the temperature was only about 35 degrees F. A few of the hives were in the direct sun when I looked at them, and I did see a few bees at the entrance crawling around. There is still snow on the ground. All last week the temps were around zero degrees F. My bees have been clustered in the hives since about Thanksgiving. The forecast for Wednesday is 50 degrees F in my area, so I may get to observe active hives then.

[@TheHoneystead]

It was mid 40s but felt warmer today. I plan to heavy split my colonies in spring. I'll do a mite check, but I'm working on an experiment using herbs instead of mite treatments. So far so good!

[@marilynclayton3430]

@@TheHoneysteadwill you keep us posted on your herbal treatment experiment? I would love to learn what you find out💚

[@patty3002]

@@marilynclayton3430me too! I’m getting bees this year and would love to know about how the herbs work with your bees

[@jerseygirlvet]

Thank goodness I just ordered but with a subscription.

[@radostinabodurova4941]

ah so so cool i will try this homemade honey mustard recipe I want to order from the mushroom blend but i am in Canada 😭

[@pattipate9732]

Are brown mustard sprouting seeds the same as the seed you’re using here?

[@tammycherepko7826]

Where do you get your bee vails?

[@jacksprat1556]

Do you ever lose all your bees in winter? Do you have to spray chemicals for mites?

[@TheHoneystead]

I did my very first year.. I have since focused on bee gut health and do not treat my bees!

[@DennisD-yv4ys]

Random thought moment! Have you experimented with Birch tree tea stuff...chaga comes from it....once could plant birch trees for a long term plan 🤔

[@TheHoneystead]

I love Chaga! I don't see it in my area too much... but up north is where it's at!!

[@marilynclayton3430]

@@TheHoneysteadI love wild crafting Chaga! I have it everywhere in Alaska.

[@gailpetchenik3048]

Is the mustard seed brown or black?

[@paulconway2963]

I didn't realise they dropped them away from the hives.. I have seen other videos where keepers let their chickens roam around the apiary eating the dead bees from beneath the hives. Does this behaviour vary?

[@JuneLewis-u8u]

Are you using brown mustard seed? All seeds i see are light brown… thx 🥰

[@TheHoneystead]

I am!

[@mmiller1011]

Do you have to burp the mustard?

[@dcsblessedbees]

I think bees actually vibrate the plates on their body to create heat. In a tight cluster I don't think they can flap their wings.

[@TheHoneystead]

Vibrate is a better word... vibrate their wings💛
