Who is this guy ?? Now you guys are really blowing me away.!! Right on time, very respectful of Mother E., SUPER informative & correct. I'm re- watching this one again. I have extensive knowledge of beekeeping, honey production, some knowledge of queen rearing & while you guys were going thru the hives I couldn't help but ask, why no mention of what we know of, as the rainbow? Above all the brood chambers, the bees store pollen directly above the chamber & it's known as the rainbow. At least thats what I've learned. Readily available to the nurse bees to access easily for the new brood, up & coming. When working with my friend & commercial beekeeper in Florida & elsewhere, the pollen is the bee's proteins, honey are the sugars. When viewing the rainbow, it is called that because, of all the different colors of pollen the bees store in the cells, same colors, same plant pollen, etc. Such amazing creatures aren't they ? Way to go, Doug & Stacy !!

Mead does take many years to "mellow". The mead-maker must be very diligent to keep track of the dates of the bottled vintages (a label on each bottle is helpful). Mead-makers - in the beginning - tend to get too anxious to sample their product before it has had sufficient time to properly ferment out. Young mead is very harsh and will turn-off first time drinkers. I made mead back in the 90's and won some local home-brewer competitions but when Dr. Leo says "10 to 15 years"...that is not an exaggeration ! Over time, the mead will develop a gentle carbonation and have a very dry, not too sweet profile, with a noticeable "alcohol burn" when swallowed.

From one mead maker to another...Dr. Leo, you have my deepest respect! My father spent most of his life making wine as a professional wine maker in Germany and was even one of the pioneers of winemaking in Denmark. However, since Denmark isn't ideal for grapevine to say the least (that's changing now with the climate change), in the late 1990s he had switched to mead making. So I grew up with it, and have been making mead myself for 20 years now. I honestly did not think I would at this point learn anything new about it, but I have. I've heard long ago about raw honey having plenty of natural yeast in the polen, I established good relationship with a few local bee keepers and have tried the natural fermentation quite a few times, but eventually gave up on it as I never had success with it. Either the fermenting would stuck completely or could only go up to the beer level of ABV. It wasn't pleasant to taste...etc. And now I find out the polen needs to be fresh! I'll definitely try again, for my own personal pleasure, although I will continue using commercial yeast too as I need to turn batches every year, or even twice a year. The really cool thing with mead is so many possibilities for creativity even with commercial yeast. For one, there are so many different strains of yeast, so many different honey varietals, so many adjuncts to experiment with, and then on top of it all...even when using all the same ingredients and the same type of yeast, I've never had two batches that turned out the same. And no pressure for them to be the same, unlike in the wine industry where you need to blend with old batches because it Pinot Noir has to taste as Pinot Noir. I find that attitude suffocating. Anyhow, I apologize..did not want to go on for this long, but I share the passion so seeing this has triggered so many memories and thoughts in me. I'm so grateful to have gotten this video in my recommendations and for having the gut feeling I should watch it! Great stuff all around! 👍👍 Btw, the russian pronunciation of med is similar to danish mjød, except our d sounds more like an h sound mixed with a d. Edit: When using auto siphon, you don't need to be pumping all the time. A few pushes will start the siphon and from then on out, gravity takes over. And the trick with the bottling wand is to press the valve down while you're pumping to start the initial flow. Once the entire tube and the wand are filled, which again should take a couple of pumps and a few seconds, then you can proceed normally from there; push it down for the liquid to flow, and lift it up in order for it to stop e.g. while you're moving onto the next bottle.

I just bought a cheap $20 suit and gloves of Amazon and built the box then ordered the frames (unassembled). I did buy my first set of bees but realized quickly that you can catch them for free and split the hive sometimes in the first summer but at least the following spring. Haven't paid for new bees since. Go for it!

Fascinating! This video is worthy of watching over and over again in whole or in part. We keep bees and have wanted to make mead. I am so glad to see this process, start to finish. For me, as a natural beekeeper, this video is so very special. I'm very grateful. ❤️🐝❤️🐝❤️🐝

Loved this informative video. I forgot to look at the length when I clicked. So 1/2 hour in, I paused it to see. Regardless, I stayed with it all the way to end. I enjoyed Dr. Leo's mesmerizing accent, & every detail was understandable. Even for one who only buys her local raw honey in stores. Thank you!

Our first patch didn't make it either. Next time we did four different flavors and three of those made it. Blackberry was the best.

There needs to be an Off-Grid School. Classes that teach, off-grid power generation and storage, alcohol making, gardening, water catchment and storage, etc... Homesteading is the future and more Americans need to be more like our Grandparents.

You can see when the finished product was brought out for bottling that Dr. Lee started salivating this must really taste good love to try some but I would not be able to go through what you guys went through and since They can’t sell it I guess I’m out 😕 I found this gentleman to be very knowledgeable in this video to be very interesting thank you

Hey, everybody used to be saying we want more homestead garden, fermenting & they gave us fermenting mead. They have to get the bees ready for winter. Mom could be in & needs a break also. Be kind & a little patient. He'll get er done. I'm just glad to see them.😁

Please Stacy, let us see how things went with "Mom's Cabin", My husband is driving me crazy :) He's been following you guys for over a year. I have been following you for 5+ years. He's a retired carpenter. He lives vicariously through Doug, as many do, I suspect.
