Oh Mark you are the inventor of improvising I must say that why I love watching you. Always a good giggle just listening to you. You are so down to earth and a true blue Australian

[@randyjames1465]

THANK YOU MARK

[@randyclinganfarms4806]

It is called Drone Congregation Area

[@mycobotanist8271]

Nah it's called the f*** zone

[@brianshields7137]

I try and stay away from Canola as if bees fill the hive with it it doesn't extract and when crystal they can't or won't eat it and last year in one of my apperies I lost 10 hives over winter as all they had was conola and starved out with a good store of food left

[@nigelrohrlach565]

Gotta extract that canola quick bruh or she'll go candy

[@dcsblessedbees]

🤣Yep EVERYTHING is sticky.😂Have a great day.

Good afternoon from Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. My wife and I have been following you since we got interested in beekeeping. This is our third season starting next month. It has been enjoyable and a learning curve following your adventures. The information and humour is wonderful and informative. Thankyou so much . What we are wondering is how and when you got into beekeeping. Yours respectfully Bonnie and Tom P.

[@jerrysisseck9632]

Fun to watch. Up here in u.s. on the north Oregon coast. Still waiting for the sun

[@kyetemple7927]

I eagerly await the BBM podcast!

[@paulfairbrass4424]

Yes we all remember beekeeping 101, or do we. Pick a format and stick to it. Until there's a sale. I think the club is called the drone a gogo.

Refreshing dialogue, indeed! Positives were the cameraman did not get loaded with fault for the stuff up in board numbers. Negatives were (i) failing to mention that same rule for box depth - buy all one size (ii) that persistence with geriatric technology in Emlock(R) when Bandit(R) supply far superior and more cost effective strapping systems. 0h... and next time buy a tray back (flatbed) so leaving the well style for the beach bugs. /vibes-peaceout/ Shad

[@sneakyisme]

What are these “bandit” straps you talk of that are superior to Emlocks? Interested, can you supply the link. Cheers

[@alisonshanahan1237]

Take a photo of the boxes with a large number painted on them (8, 10, 5) that way you'll have a reference to help you remember. I say this as someone with a poor memory!

[@PeterSnodgrass-z2s]

Know the feeling regarding 8 frame to 10 frame boxes, I ordered 10 frame boxes from Nuplas, then must have had too many sherbets and 6 months later ordered an 8 frame box, live and learn I guess.

[@17nicole38]

Question: how many of those splits had success virgin queen matings and how many had to start over?

[@arum236]

As a Canadian beekeeper of 6 years - I want to work for you

[@rhondasavva2500]

Oh wouldn’t it be great fun to actually work with Mark. I would love it

[@robertfranc2365]

Day in the life of outback Australia. Bloody big snakes.

[@pbest5040]

Hey Mate, Some things never change. Oh , remember, don't remove the rad cap from a hot truck engine ! Could be good , but nope....... What a riot !

[@IcemanMobile]

Drone congregation area - or fuck zone sounds better.

[@gordonmackenzie7782]

so when do we see season 3 ?

[@roydontully3196]

lol we have all been there

[@rhondasavva2500]

Yes but we all start with 8 frames and end up deciding to change to 10’s so I’m in the same boat as you

[@wadebarnes6720]

I can say one thing if I ever get those genetic I quit

[@1425race]

That's a pretty snazy bee suit you got there Mark, what brand and where can I get one? Well it was good before you got it covered in sh.t. Kiwi beekeeper.
