Glad to have you on the farm 😊👍🏻🐝🐝

The "super" is just an abbreviation of superstructure

Best regards from Poland ❤️🐝❤️

[@Kyla94934]

Thank you for letting Alex film his tour, I loved getting to watch this in Canada ❤

[@MuscleFishingOfficial]

Alex you are an absolute videography genius. I can honestly say you make masterpieces. Each episode I love to learn and indulge in the outdoors with you. This is real life. This isn’t consumerism and who can make the most billions of pounds to buy another item they don’t need. This is what true REAL life is and how it should be enjoyed. Superb! And I wish you all the best in your ventures

[@ransi_07]

I can seriously watch this guy the whole day Lovin the content Alex keep it upp🥳

[@codecthelios]

our neighbors are bee keepers and like this guy said. We love to see their bees come over. This should be something that more ppl take up.

[@franj001]

That farm looked so cool and Cliff seems like a great guy. Hope his crop is good this year

[@TimoTheus_jr]

This channel is going to blow up, really raw and pure minutes of good content well done lad. Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@just_alex]

Thank you! :)

[@helendurow8211]

On South Africa's North coast there's a honey farm with the slogan: " If you've got money, we've got honey!" Try it !❤

[@sandorkovacs9271]

"looking into that river makes me want to go fishing again" exactly what we wanted to hear lol 😂😂😂 good video again Alex, loved it.

[@4etznabify]

Bees were how I found you in the first place. My mother's mother grew up in Wales such beautiful country. Thank you Alex once again!

[@Angaraman]

Aww, man. I moved away from Caerfyrddin a few years ago, up to Yorkshire to be closer to my family after my nieces were born. Seeing those landscape shots and hearing Gruff's accent just made me powerfully homesick.

[@sonianadadenada]

I once volunteered in an organic bee keeping farm in north Italy and I never thought you could keep bees in wet England, thanks for the videos, so inspiring!

[@_Daio_]

This was Wales, but yes you can still keep them in England, although I don't think the honey Is as lovely.😉

[@holyngrace7806]

Hi Alex. I enjoy your videos. Compliments on your gumption! Super comes from Latin and means "above." In English, we combine it with words like ~lative ( lative is also from Latin and means to praise). So superlative = above praise. Therefore, super probably became used for the honey top boxes. As hive farms had a strong association with monasteries and covenants where Latin was expected, that may be the influence as well in the honey boxes being called supers.

[@_Daio_]

I just ordered a 1kg jar, looks excellent, and always happy to support Welsh produce.

[@jenniferharman5139]

Loved the honey video. We have a couple of hives here in Tasmania on our 2 acre wooded house block. Used to have a lot more for 15 or so years. We also fish in the river and sea at the end of our road. Keep up the good work.🐝🐝🐋🐬🐟

[@trophy182]

Sounds idyllic😍. I trust you’ve kept said devils at bay🌪

[@jenniferharman5139]

@@trophy182 No devils near us. We do have wild wallabies, 2 kinds of possums, 2 kinds of poisonous snakes, quuolls and assorted dangerous insects. It is still worth living here.☺

[@houstonsheltonbees814]

Day in the life of a pro beekeeper video is why I subscribed. I was happy to see you decided to become a beekeeper. Wishing you success and good health on your journey. Thanks God bless

[@just_alex]

Thanks! I hope you enjoy the beekeeping videos next year!

[@peterwalsh5450]

Really great interesting video mate couldn't stop watching till the end

[@nataliekelly7101]

I love the ending of this video, how you shared your new honey with your friends on such a wonderful looking picnic/reunion. Just so thoughtful and fun!

[@amily961]

The Welsh accent is so lovely to hear!

[@iniosirakov6243]

Пчелите са мойте страсти ,и много добра ферма с ДОБЪР и любящ пчелар.

[@cottrell2909]

An absolutely beautiful video Alex. Utterly brilliant. 👍👍👍

[@sarahp1383]

Loved this video. Even more listening to the Welsh accent...Twelve years ago, middul, handred, Wales is very rooral,bucket, hunnney, fahm,fluvverrs sounds so much better than flowers,wheel bahrrow ,difffrunt, one box at a tayum...the stress on the 'r' If this gentleman recited poetry it would be a sheer delight to listen to. Like listening to the late , Sir Richard Burton. The Welsh seem to endow a richness to the English language when they enunciate it their way. Thank you.

[@sarahp1383]

[@Gulliedoutbigup]

Water biscuits, called water biscuits because they're just made from flour and water. And apparently the cracking sound they make has something to do with it. Maybe cracking of waves against the hull of a ship as they were used as food for long voyages.

[@skaramanger_144]

I'm fascinated by Gruff's accent. I come from Germany and actually have difficulty understanding him. It sounds interesting though haha Keep up the good work Alex, you are inspiring!

[@zebraloverbridget]

Surprisingly the auto captions didn't have too much of an issue with it though. At least not when talking about cut comb honey. I'd say mistaking comb for coal isn't too bad with his accent. I had to turn it on and rewatch that part since I couldn't understand him lol

[@wakjagner]

As a west-coast American, I had to turn on the subtitles cause I had no clue what he was saying ^_^; ya doin alright.

[@vivabydar3664]

Good to see spreading the message of love and compassion among your friends,and family...

[@damonlappin8793]

This and the knife video kind of reminds me of being a kid watching come outside with pippin the dog showing u how stuffs made ect 🙃😁

[@lysdexsick]

WOW, that was amazing!!! Really cool video!!

[@antonybaker8531]

Great video loving learning so much about bees glad you are letting us join you on your journey roll on next friday thank you alex

[@1968Zedar]

I am loving The new adventures of Alex! Keep it up bud.😃🐝

[@georgegriffiths1437]

A lot of people people in Wales don’t really sound that welsh Alex has somehow found the most welsh person ever

[@garyabnett3184]

Thanking,,fabulous content 👍😎👍

[@johngray6378]

Your videos are always a must watch for me, so interesting, well put together and educational. Can’t wait to follow your van conversion project. Thanks to you, whilst out walking I managed to identify some chicken of the woods too!

[@just_alex]

Awesome, thank you!

[@jonatherton]

Lovely film Alex. Bravo!

[@tonydonny7886]

Love watching the bee keeping journey. More films please 🐝

[@aimeelee76]

As someone from the States who has never been to Wales (England and Ireland: yes, Wales and Scotland: not yet, hopefully someday!), this guy's accent is just so amazing and not one that I think I've ever heard before! I find regional accents like this to be fascinating and I'm familiar with many from the British Isles (Quick aside: isn't it just so cool that such a small area of land has such an amazing variety of accents? Some of them are dying out and that makes me sad. Same with here in the States...lots of regional accents are dying or lessening considerably.) , but this is a new one for me. Is this what a native Welsh speaker sounds like? The way he (Griff?) says 'rural' is honestly awesome. His cadence is sending me, too. I could listen to him all day!

[@MrWrob32]

Lovely video, everyday is a school day and I enjoyed watching and learning about a honey farm

[@markwilliamson660]

Great video man. See that glint in your eye when you mentioned fishing 🙌🙌

[@USN_Ret-]

In the 70s our neighbors and us had bees. We harvested enough honey to supply our group of friends and families.

[@reelfishing002]

Great video, so much involvements when it comes to bee keeping .

[@heat-rp1gm]

Amazing video as usual Alex, keep up the fantastic content, your videos always make my day, thanks very much, I am very excited for the adventures to come, I love the positive vibes, keep them coming !!!!!

[@shinuizabusa2180]

What a amazing trip. Love it.

[@cheshiresmileclinic]

Awesome. All the best.

[@sharkyxxx4057]

loving the bee uploads .. thats how i want my honey when you are ready to sell... in the comb but not a full frame lol...

[@andyprest]

Nice vid Alex enjoying them 👍

[@IcemanMobile]

The adjective super is an abbreviated use of the prefix super-, which comes from the Latin super-, meaning “above,” “over,” or “beyond.”

[@just_alex]

Ahhh great! Thanks for the info!

[@rcconstructionuk114]

No it means superfluous

[@dolphins19671]

Absolutely beautiful. Really enjoying your content.

[@ukfemaleangler6513]

[@michaelguthrie6985]

Loved every second of that video something so different as so informative. Can’t wait to see your first load of honey 🐝

[@michaelhope7482]

I also look into a new stretch of water thinking,is there any fish in there? but this bee story is fascinating keep going with your story's Alex 👍

[@fraserelliott6893]

Brilliant. This is like two giants of the Marvel and DC superhero universes (fishing KZbin and beekeeping KZbin) meeting up.

[@ianmaddams9577]

Love the commitment and passion you put into your videos. Always great to see the next chapter in your adventure All the best mate 👍🏻

[@just_alex]

Thanks Ian!

[@newagegaming2018]

“SUPER”. short for superfluous. Which describes the honey box

[@MrFrankavich]

Loved this video. Nice one Alex. If you are in Bristol again come round and say hi.....with some 70 quid honey 🍯 😉

[@malcolmmetcalfe4652]

I sense a fishing trip coming up woop woop 😂 can’t cross a bridge without looking over ..

[@muhammadmustafotojimamatov1172]

Loved the vid Alex... Fascinating world of bees! 😊

[@nebusnevermore]

This is awesome.Thanks Alex, you rock!

[@clivehewitt9254]

Wow Alex that was mega interesting great insight, maybe that might be you Alex in a few years time ? So inspiring my Mrs would be great at keeping bees 🐝 maybe ? Thank you for the great Vlog 😉👍

[@LHS_Shadow]

It's probably called a super because it is superimposed on the rest of the hive

[@mikaelkorpela]

Lithuanian trick; cut cucumbers into finger size sticks and dip into honey. Amazing stuff!

[@robsvanlife8239]

great video mate

[@emmabentley7945]

Amazing video Alex. I'm learning so much !!🥰

[@ermao2715]

Yay!! Alex and bees! 🎉😁

[@jaa7286]

So cool to see the land, a hive of friends, and a new accent. Almost sounds rastafarian/Irish to me. Thoroughly enjoyed this, cheers

[@diyayasmin]

I always click your videos immediately. It's so good how you put the story together!

[@MariafromthePhilippineIslands]

Thank you for educating us about bee honey farming. A new knowledge learned from you. Wish you well. 🙏🙏

[@rhino5419]

Another great episode. Nice work Alex.

[@hippo5346]

I`m so envious of people who manage turn a hobby into their occupation . Ultimate life goal . Well done , Alex on another interesting video . Keep it up !

[@just_alex]

Thanks 👍

[@chriswarby1001]

Super interesting video I've thought of keeping bee's really enjoyed this one 👍👍

[@seanbolton3737]

absolutely love the content Alex, keep it up the amazing work!

[@mscudde2]

Another awesome video. That farm was freakin incredible!

[@just_alex]

Thanks!

[@andrewsprason1223]

Hello from Sydney Australia. Love your channel, keep up the good work…

[@rcconstructionuk114]

Its called a super which is short for superfluous. Its superfluous to the bees needs which means its ok to take as the bees have enough of their own

[@Shaebaumers]

Great videos, although I am really scared of bees, your videos are so calming and give real possitive energy! Love it man, keep them coming!

[@trevorcornes1056]

Great watch. Really interesting. Love Honey Too 😄

[@swhdesigns2010]

Look forward to these videos every week, your hobbies are very interesting

[@darryltaylor9614]

Great video Alex 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@monkeybrains]

had a bee colony in my compost bin last summer. left them to it.

[@ArtistFormerlyKnownAsShitlord]

I thought that the hive box was called the "super" because it's short for "superfluous". Meaning that the honey the bees store in there is the stuff they don't need, so it's okay for you to take it.

[@morrisoff]

Or maybe just the usual Latin meaning of 'super' - 'On top of', as in 'superimpose' or 'superstructure'?

[@ArtistFormerlyKnownAsShitlord]

@@morrisoff That would make sense.

[@DrKerr..]

Awesome video. Love bees 🐝 also a bee keeper too. been doing it for almost 8 years.

[@jambobee]

Nice one Alex,you are like the guy that school used to invite into a assembly but so much better because your videos are well edited and reach out to more than one assembly lol,this content teaches kids and adults,keep it going dude 😀 👍

[@just_alex]

Appreciate that James. :)

[@ghostsy]

It is ground coffee i assume to the honey and cheese ie grind the coffee beans. And ty for another great episode :)

[@El-Tel63-Terry.]

Great video Alex, very interesting. 👍🏻

[@MrAnderson321]

🐝I’m absolutely loving your new venture and content Alex. Love the fact that you’re not keeping all your eggs in one basket. Great to know that you and Carl are still dipping your nets, as they say. Living the dream, keep them coming. PS: The editing is superb!🎞

[@Abeyptfc]

Cracking video Alex, I believe it’s called the ‘super’ as the beers store their honey in it as it is ‘superfluous’ to their needs, sure I learned that watching Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall! Keep up the good content man!

[@gcarpmad]

That was another epic journey Alex. Cannot wait to hopefully one day taste your bees honey. keep up the excellent vids.

[@LuckyFigFarm]

Great videos, Alex. Keep it up!

[@garryireland]

Really interesting and brilliantly presented well done pal 👍

[@just_alex]

Glad you enjoyed it! :)
