Thurston Honey Bee Co. - Making More than Honey

[@DevanRawn]

I understand a lot of you are disappointed I hadn't uploaded for a few months. My apologies, I'll post some scale hive updates soon enough. Please keep the comments relevant to this video. I put some effort into showcasing Dan and his beekeeping business.

[@charlieandpattisplace]

Thanks Devan.

[@charlieandpattisplace]

Looked up his Facebook page and gave it a like.

Glad to see you back Devan!!!

[@birddawg1568]

Thanks Devan. Perfect timing for winter and Christmas.

Nice video about Mr Thurston and the care he puts into his variety of products. It is amazing to see the availability out side of "just honey" to a bee keeper if one has a sizable operation able to expand into these areas. We always try to buy local when we can, but it can be difficult outside of the farmers markets as stores tend to shy away from 'local' due to our litigious society.

[@JimWellman]

You sure it's not because the stores would have to charge too much, which would turn people away? Or possibly that local beekeepers may not be able to keep up with the store's demand? More $$$ go into the farmers pocket when selling direct to customers at a farmer's market.

There are so many of us that love your videos. You present everything very well in them. My second year of keeping bees was crazy this summer due to so much rain. Experienced a lot of dilemmas.

[@phillipseskis8881]

Loved whatching your Vids, was worried that something had happened to you. Glad to see your Ok. Look forward to when you get back into making Vids. really liked the scale hives, hope you revist this next season. Have a great winter from, Sunny Australia

Boot Balm would have never thought of that Nice products.. Good to see you are with us Devan.

Hello Dan, from Colorado springs, originally from Ottawa. I love the content of your videos, very informative and to the point. Nice to see you support and promote other beekeepers. I wish I could apprentice with someone like you

[@scottmaschino1927]

Like seeing folks taking advantage of more than just the honey from the bees. Theft give us quite a few things to make value added products to help make our hobbies into sideline income.

[@ronniedaniels4587]

Please make more videos. You are very talented at teaching and describing beekeeping methods in detail!

[@pestarrest5360]

Super nice guy and good teacher for the Tech Transfer seminar for OBA.

[@lucy-ez5zg]

I bought a jar and ready to enjoy! 😊🍯🍵

[@blakedhoffman]

Nice video - I know I'll need more education on making some value added products and branching out with some new marketing ideas. Thanks Devon - keep up the good work

[@philiprehm2622]

Looking forward to future beekeeping videos. Been too long.

[@_BJ123]

I have been waiting for a fall winter feed video from u and kinda forgot about you.... you have great videos and I like your style. Hope you will still make a fall and winter feed video.

[@DevanRawn]

I fed bees the same way as last year when I made videos about it. Unfortunately there can't be any videos on the topic made now, there's snow on the ground here.

[@buddybee9288]

Nice to see you are well.

He’s Alive!!!

[@johnneumann9902]

Devan .......where are you... where have you been........... we miss the updates and direction............. come back.......

[@showmebees9431]

I enjoyed the video. It was very well made. One thing that would improve it would be to remix the audio and turn the music you down just a little bit. It is in the foreground rather than the background.

[@HeartPumper]

Devan, please, come back!!! We need you! And yes, y'all pease support local food "producers", and actually all craftsmen! They're the last frontier between us vs that sociopathic 1%. Hardworking middle class is decimated by globalization. It's not old world vs the "progressive" one. It's us being (payroll) slaves vs people who think, that the rest of world's population is expendable.

[@ПчеловодствоХобби]

Nice job!!!

[@kaistumer198]

Really nice made Video and giod Präsentation.

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

Agree! Best of luck. :)

[@cricketscorner6514]

Must have been busy this season missed your vids.

[@benjamindonaldson3506]

Have missed your videos. How are the scale hives?

[@ldcrawford1687]

Glad to see you are well

[@jpmako]

Devan, have either you or Dan experimented with wintering hives indoors?

[@SteveMcGuire2008]

where have you been????

[@SA-xj1cs]

Devan where can I get one of those magnetic pouch you have on your tool belt? Thanks!

[@HeartPumper]

It's Paul Kelly's belt. Search up FAQ video from 2017, all is there :)

[@silverAlphashooter]

Hey Devan can you do a video on your took belt setup? Thanks

[@FoxKoit]

Cool Small video :) I like it :) Hey are you on Steemit also ?

[@jayl8813]

Who does your labelling.

[@SirMoribund]

I didn't know you could use bee's wax on boots.

[@dg4752]

Music is very loud lol

[@unclegreybeard3969]

Thanks for featuring another apiarist's work, sharing is caring. In this video, Dan is a very soft spoken person, and your music (while being very pleasant) makes it very difficult to hear and understand what he is saying.

[@JK-es9wu]

why the annoying music

[@bradkkimberlin2000]

Almost started believing in flat earth thinking you might have fallen off !!!
