From the USA, your videos are informative and extremely entertaining. I am just starting my adventure, getting bees in March. To me, you are everything I want to become as a beekeeper. Thank you for the educational and always entertaining content. I even got the whole family watching you to find out what your gonna get into next. We love you and John.
Mark Darling' Love you and John and your vids. Catching up on all your vids. My family gets a kick of your antics and likes your info as well. Well done. I just watched the one where you chased a swarm to a very nice house and they dove down a hole in the brick. Great defensive move bees! Sir, you need a bee vac for catching evasive swarms. Would be a hoot to watch you with a vacuum and a swarm! Keep up the great information presented in riotous format.
Mark, I saw a little hack for your hive tool. Put a magnet in your pocket. Your hive tool or any other tool will stick on your beetool and bee available when you need it.
I love your voices, they make me laugh. Truck is looking good. Bet it saves your back. I understand the long drives. I am from Victoria, but when I was younger I went to University in Whyalla of all places. Talk about a culture shock. When I have a car I want to go back & see what it's like now.
seen this one before Mark. cut the chain on the gate, install your own combination lock, and put the code in your phone or write it in the truck somewhere. all your bee yards can then have their own lock on them and if you just lock your lock into the last link of the chain and put your lock through the owners lock no harm done anywhere. you'll get the hang of it, just take your wife everywhere with you and that way you will never forget anything.
Mark - It's called "Over spray" way over here in the US. Even though this is the second time I've watched this episode it still is quite wondrous to go it again. Joe S
@@heatherlewis3713 Load the bees in the early evening before dark all returning bees will land on the load and find a home. Keep the truck running the vibrations seem to keep the bees settled. Entrances face to the rear of the truck bed!! With a load of bees never turn the engine off until unloading is complete.
I don’t know if your naturally stupid or playing up for the camera,I’ve followed you for sometime now ,you went silent for a good half of this year not sure as to why ,but now it’s what can I forget to do ,forget to bring , forget to ask son to remind you etc or even have a list of to do and don’t leave home without - only once have I got 30 minutes into my journey to the bee yard packed solid no more space realised didn’t even remember the bee suit and had to go back because I were working the bees , the keys to the yards were always left in the vehicle just in case am in the area can pop check the hives are upright after a storm ,all my yards have a locked steel box ,with spare everything but not a suit - am not finding your negativity entertaining at all quite the opposite -
Play fair - the keys were in the ute, exactly where they'd always needed to be and so not worthy of any thought. Until the day that the keys were still in the ute but they were in the new truck. So always leaving the keys in the vehicle was exactly why they'd never given a thought to having to fetch them when they loaded up - all the beekeeping things they had to load up with normally were remembered, and it was the one thing that stayed in the vehicle that - stayed in the vehicle. And judging by the fact that they were in the ute, they'll for sure be put in the truck instead now.
Sorry, but there is no need to be rude. You can just go cutting locks off gates, when it's someones farm. They also move their bees around to private farms who's fruit trees etc etc need pollinating. Certain places in Australia are arid & don't grow many plants with flowers. So you have to do what you need to do, so it's a win win for everyone & the bees. And before you say anything, I am from Australia 🇦🇺. I also lived in South Australia for a number of years while I was at University.

Nice large deck of the Truck. Hope the boom/crane will work good

Are we ever going to get an update on Mark and the bees is he still beekeeping??
truck looks like a win to me!
I have noticed the QR code stickers on the boxes . Have you just started using them or have I missed a video mentioning them
Get yourself a don't forget sign in the cab with a list on it. I would do it quickly because you'll forget 😂

Is there payment involved in this operation or is it just mutually beneficial to both parties ?
Keep an angle grinder and a few new locks in the toolbox.
Face the entrances to the front!! load in the dark 2 mistakes please cut the dribble regards.
It's better to load & unload in the dark as the majority, if not all of the bees will be in the hive.

It's called content for the channel, also we are are getting older and the memory just doesn't work like it did when we were younger.
