Ants can swim! (ok float or build living bridges). During floods they will create a living floating mat. The workers will even try to save eggs. I personally have experienced this in Sarasota Fl. Having to walk in knee deep flood waters during evacuation of siesta key/longboat key area.
Ok, this is good! I was talking with Dr. Leo about this recently and I'm so glad you are showcasing this hive/building/zen-center! :) Thank you for sharing, and yes, sleeping with the bees :) it's the way to go. All the best in beekeeping to you both!
Hey Fred, great to see you here. This idea is amazing. I have a story about feeling too relaxed whilst driving my new bees home!! Luckily no danger.But the smell of the air was just amazing and relaxing and I can easily see why this idea would work. Also for colder climates I am guessing it might help protect the hive too? I assume you could add some insulation to the bed area in winter.
Hey, big shout out to Doug and Stacy. I’m a fan of yours as well as Dr Leo. The good Dr won me over a few years ago and I now care for three Layens hives built from his plans. The bee bed is very interesting. I know that hanging out with my bees is my favorite activity these days. Btw.. Frederick Dunn is another of my YT favorites and he sent me to see this video.
I just love this. I am a beekeeper in the UK. I have a little woodland and I would love to build something like this. I am not sure I am skilled enough with wood though. Fabulous video. I often watch Leo's videos. Brilliant! Thank you very much.
One safety improvement is for a solid cover over the slats to prevent turning one while resting. Could be like smashing the side of a hive setting them off and laying down on top you could get several stings before you could even move away.
My dad had bees when I was young. Langstroth hive the normal size. Full of honey I think 80 pounds. This is a game changer. Wish we knew about horizontal hives would have saved time and the back. Because as you know as the super is full you must put the new empty super beneath the full ones.
great work . There is a beekeeper from Saudi Arabia who has been working on a natural beekeeping system for 8 years. I have been working on his system for two years without treatment.
I’m glad I found him before I started keeping bees because this is truly the best way to do it. I have two full hives of locally caught bees and two waiting for new swarms. I’m very happy with them and would never use those tall hives my grandpa had.
We are beginning our homesteading journey, and we are very interested in bee keeping. We thank you so much for this information and the learning center!
If you're seriously going to be a beekeeper, ignore the misinformation on this channel and learn from legitimate beekeepers like university of Guelph, kamon Reynolds, or Bob Binney. All you'll do following these guys is kill hives and waste equipment. Not a single hive using their methods survives, and they propagate disease and predators. Their methods of catching local bees is a false premise because they are catching swarms from other managed beekeeper hives. The genetics are the same as all the other commercial and hobbit beekeepers. Anyone who understands the basics of drone mating and bee DNA and genetics laughs at the unscientific notions of sharashkin and antihygenic Stacey's. Sharashkin believes rubbing dead bees on his head prevents balding. It's all a scam. For the sake of protecting vulnerable bees, please don't follow their advice. They're making a living off of RUclips and if people aren't actually using their methods, their nonsense won't be anything more than a harmless urban legend. If you actually try their methods, you'll kill bees a propagate dangerous sicknesses that could eventually wipe out all the bees Nationwide.
This just made my day. 'you can choose if you want some stings or not!' But seriously, we have gone so far away from the earth and all of it's goodness and this seems a perfect 180! As a health consultant, this checks so many boxes...see what I did there? I'm amazed! I really enjoy Doug and Dr. Leo together :)
My family had a few of these only bigger with 2-3 beds, more like small cabins, in my childwood I slept in these things many summer nights; very smooth feeling, the bee air is the best, but I did use a small mattress, the bees feel if something is wrong with you, may it be you sick or have a disease and become very agitated if you lay directly on the wooden planks, so in the long run you will lose those hives due to their agitatated behavior. By the way I am from the eastern european block and we had a few thousand hives. Dan
That is a interesting concept to sleep with the honey bees. That enclosure is beautiful. That's great that it will hold 4 hives worth of bees. The stream sound is nice also. I'm so glad you're saving a lot of acres of the Ozarks. I saw how the loggers are hurting the top soil by sliding the logs down the hills instead of sliding them along the grade so the rain doesn't wash the top soil away. I had never heard of sleeping with bees. I might like that. Thanks for this video Dr. Leo and Doug!
Heck yeah I want to lay in that Bee 🐝 Bed. It’s so cool. Thanks for sharing. I definitely want to add this to our land. Thanks again Dr. Leo and Doug for all of these wonderful beekeeping videos.
I have said since I was a child that I'm practically a Winnie the Pooh because I love honey and I consume it every day which is one of the reasons I love bees so much and I care for bees not only with my beautiful garden on my 7 acres but I am also going to start trying the horizontal hive I can't wait I am so excited! Thank you Dr Leo and Doug and Stacy!
This is to cool. Great idea, I stand and watch my bees come and go often to hang out and watch them no matter the weather outside genius! Caught my 3rd swarm this year 2023 and I experienced the amount of air flow bees are capable of producing was incredible. I would compare it to a box fan on low and this was a really small swarm. So if you can put that many bees in a horizontal hive and hang out would be amazing!! You have to post some testimonials.
Having the opportunity to live overseas in many areas - I can really appreciate Dr Leo’s experience! No disrespect-but we can learn so much from worldly folks who’ve called the US home! The old ways are the proven ways- and I’ve learned so much in the videos you’ve shared with us! God’s blessings to all of you!
Such a great idea!! Whenever I open a bee hive and smell the warmth and sweetness, I wish I could go into the hive. It seems, my wish can be fullfilled.
All my goodness! How wonderful it would be to experience that. My mother told me I had bee skin. I have never been stung by a bee. They're so fascinating
I was going to build some beehives this year, I'm glad to see this video. I will be building one of those instead. 👍 Looking up the Free plans now TY. 🇺🇸👍🐝
I would love to spend time in a bee bath. Feeling the vibrations and absorbing the aromas WOW!! I am definitely getting the plans for this! M y 9 and 11 yr old grandsons love the bees and how cool it would bee for them to grow up in this environment knowing they can go relax and de-stress with our bees.😉😇🤠👩🌾🧑🌾🌻💐🐝
This is an AMAZING INVENTION 👏 😍!! When I was very sick I would watch the bees and I always felt much better. In the winter I would watch bee videos and that surprisingly also made me feel better. Bees are HEALING!
Gratitude for sharing with us 🙏🏻 I definitely appreciate your information, hope to build something like this myself. So much incredible magic in our world ❤
Great video thankyou, we just started keeping bees on our UK smallholding so Im just getting used to standing among them in my bee suit, its amazing, I love bees ! Look forward to seeing your next video, xx
I had actually thought of this idea, but didn't realize it could be a therapy source. Glad to see you have made one. Love the Horizontal Bee frame. 👍🌻🐝🐝🌺🐞
I am so excited to someday build a bee bed. I will begin to collect recycled materials. I love the idea of having this healing option for people in need within my community. It is an honor to be able to be of service to the bees and to each other. Thank you for sharing your ideas and building plans, Dr. Leo. I wonder if there is something natural to add to the water in the propane tanks to prevent mosquitoes?
Love the idea of water in troughs. Think adding putting in washing up liquid would help becasuse of making insects drown very quickly because of breathing through their exoskeleton.
Stunning. Ingenious. I've been stung hundreds of times. They're really not painful compared to hornets or wasps. I save bees that fall into water. They wont sting you if handled gently, and are quite grateful when you save them. No bees, no life.
When may I please visit you and experience this wonderful bee bed?? Not kidding, ready to drive to wherever this is, I understand what you have created and love bees just because they are 🐝 bees.
I hope there is 2/3rds concrete in those footings for storm proof stability. Here in Australia we have kangaroos and other animals that become clumsy and knock into fences and hives too, knocking them over needing truck ratchet straps to keep the hive closed and from breaking open if toppled onto the ground. The wet feet is the best idea from crawling insects , put some oil or something so that the water doesn't dry out. And water in the creek is fantastic location in warm weather the bees can drink. Screw a shelf in for your own hydration and tool needs. Awesome progress towards all climate hives.
here is the most complete library of beekeeping on
social media ruclips.net/video/9wIdMgoIWDM/видео.html
you need this info!
Doug this can be yr new hang out buddy.🤙
I want one 😍
Love it. Nature is awesome. Might help with Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, post covid issues, and stress level, all in one. Wow.
I wonder how it'll help with MS? Looking forward to your post!

Which hives would you recommend for 1st time keeper?
I told my husband I wanted a sauna, well, I think I know now what exactly I want. Im a hobby beekeeper and a dr leo follower❤
I love creative people like this! Being connected to nature is the ultimate luxury.
Looks so Amazing, Doug & Dr. Leo! Frederick Dunn sent us over to watch & learn... I'm glad he did!
I just love this. I am a beekeeper in the UK. I have a little woodland and I would love to build something like this. I am not sure I am skilled enough with wood though. Fabulous video. I often watch Leo's videos. Brilliant! Thank you very much.

I am totally into the bee bed!! Coolest thing I've ever seen!!❤️🐝🛏️

Thank you it's was breath taken loving the birds
Amazing. I love it. I can smell the florals and the beautiful cedar now!
I love Dr. Leo's visits! I soak up as much knowledge as I possibly can from his vast knowledge of bee keeping.
I’m not sure if he is crazy…or a genius! Dr Leo changed the way I keep bees. Forever thankful to him.
I’m glad I found him before I started keeping bees because this is truly the best way to do it. I have two full hives of locally caught bees and two waiting for new swarms. I’m very happy with them and would never use those tall hives my grandpa had.
Can't wait to see the Bee & Bee in operation.
😆
Okay, beehave Doug! We see your mischief bubbling to the surface!😉😄 Interesting concept Dr. Leo.
We are beginning our homesteading journey, and we are very interested in bee keeping. We thank you so much for this information and the learning center!
I’ve been a beekeeper for 7 years….LOVE it. My only regret is not doing it sooner.

That is really cool. Dr. Leo you are amazing!
Thank you, Doug and Dr. Leo.
I buy all my honey from local bee keepers.
Dr. Leo, my Grandma's farm was near Competition, Mo. Not far from you! She would love what you are doing. She loved the land and animals.
Thank you so much for all the great information. So knowledgable.
Dr. Leo is a national treasure!

Thank you Leo seems already relaxing !!!!
Never heard of such a thing but sure sounds relaxing.
This is the most GENIUS, CREATIVE and BRILLIANT concept and creation !
BRAVO 🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊
This is an amazing concept. I am starting my journey into keeping bees and I appreciate all your knowledge.

Dang!!! Dr Leo is ballin!!! Bout 900 acres off of honey sales!! 💪🇺🇸💯
Yes! I would totally do that! What a great innovative idea! Thanks for sharing!
Heck yeah I want to lay in that Bee 🐝 Bed. It’s so cool. Thanks for sharing. I definitely want to add this to our land. Thanks again Dr. Leo and Doug for all of these wonderful beekeeping videos.
OUTSTANDING buzzing with the bee's
Great idea, Dr. Leo! I knew of the therapeutic sound of the buzzing, but you have taking it to an all new level. Love it! I want one.
Doug, you say to leave a comment, but I am speechless! lol I have never heard of anything like this.
Thank you so much for trying to preserve our Mother Nature 💗🙏🏻💗🙏🏻💗🙏🏻
I most certainly would sleep with the bees. I believe it would be wonderful and relaxin, as he said it would be.
This is amazing! Thank you Dr. Leo for sharing this wonderful info
This is new to me. I would totally do this. We just put together our horizontal hives and will be beekeeping in the next week!!!!
Hi.... DOUG, thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🏡🎥👍👍👍
I would definitely love to get bee therapy like that
"I never attach any medicinal claims to what I do with the bees"
Wow love Dr. Leo’s insights & information about bees. Fascinating. Thanks 🙏🏻
Tooo cool! OK, it's on the future hive build list.. lol
Wow!!! Soooooo awesome Dr. Leo!!!
Stacy will beat you in there Doug❤️🙏❤️ 🙏❤️
Hey Doug and Stacy! Congratulations on over 700,000 subscribers!! 😄🎉💖
No, THANK YOU!
I would absolutely LOVE to experience that!! Please do share your experience.
I have said since I was a child that I'm practically a Winnie the Pooh because I love honey and I consume it every day which is one of the reasons I love bees so much and I care for bees not only with my beautiful garden on my 7 acres but I am also going to start trying the horizontal hive I can't wait I am so excited! Thank you Dr Leo and Doug and Stacy!
Yes, I would love to experience that.
A bee bed… Never before in all my days have I heard of anything such as this. What a wonderful reminder of how closed our little world can be.
This is to cool. Great idea, I stand and watch my bees come and go often to hang out and watch them no matter the weather outside genius! Caught my 3rd swarm this year 2023 and I experienced the amount of air flow bees are capable of producing was incredible. I would compare it to a box fan on low and this was a really small swarm.

PRETTY COOL, DR. LEO!!!!! YES, THE WORLD IS UP TIGHT, FOR SURE!!!!!! Do take care. Fl.
I agree 1000 percent with you Dr. Leo,I love living out here in Mississippi in the country 🥰
SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC !
Having the opportunity to live overseas in many areas - I can really appreciate Dr Leo’s experience! No disrespect-but we can learn so much from worldly folks who’ve called the US home!

DR LEO, WONDERFUL IDEA...LOVE IT, THANK YOU FOR THE SHOW AND IDEA. HUGS
Very interesting idea. Thanks so much for sharing it. I always enjoy your videos.
Fred dun sent me love this vdo
Wow!! Congratulations Dr. Leo!!🙌🙌🥰
That sounds cool. Maybe one day I'll do that.
This is amazing. I would love to try this to see if it might work to improve my lungs and spine.
Such a great idea!! Whenever I open a bee hive and smell the warmth and sweetness, I wish I could go into the hive. It seems, my wish can be fullfilled.
Sounds like it would be an amazing, multisensory, beautifully healing experience!🐝🥰
Amazing. Treasured knowledge.
I want to make this. My grandpa used to have bees and I am looking forward to making this one day. Thank you for this video!
All my goodness! How wonderful it would be to experience that. My mother told me I had bee skin. I have never been stung by a bee. They're so fascinating
Amazing info. No end to new knowledge with Doug.
This bee box bed sounds amazing. It’s making me want one 😃
Thank you so much!
Can't wait! This will be amazing
harmony with beautiful gaia, 🤠🖐💜
I would love a video of your daughter creating her beautiful art work!
Can't wait to see Doug in that box lmao
June
I sure would!! Genius!!!
I received a horizontal hive and Nuc box from you a yr ago. So far no swarms. 😢☹️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I was going to build some beehives this year, I'm glad to see this video. I will be building one of those instead. 👍
Looking up the Free plans now TY. 🇺🇸👍🐝
What an incredible experience that would be.

Love the Horizontal Bee frame. 👍🌻🐝🐝🌺🐞
This was just fantastic who wouldn't want to give it a try
God bless you and yours and God bless the USA
Yes! I'm intrigued! 🐝🐝
Sounds interesting, but scary to lay in a beehive!!!
I am so excited to someday build a bee bed. I will begin to collect recycled materials. I love the idea of having this healing option for people in need within my community. It is an honor to be able to be of service to the bees and to each other. Thank you for sharing your ideas and building plans, Dr. Leo. I wonder if there is something natural to add to the water in the propane tanks to prevent mosquitoes?
Shannon Lee Gilmour, I would try dishwashing soap or a few drops of motor oil.🤔🤷🙂
This man is brilliant!
Truly fascinating, Dr. Leo! just loving all of the information you bring Doug and Stacy, so enjoyable.
It sounds pretty scary at first. When he explained it, the idea makes sense. Kinda cool.
Love the idea of water in troughs. Think adding putting in washing up liquid would help becasuse of making insects drown very quickly because of breathing through their exoskeleton.
I love this! Awesomeness!!!
Stunning. Ingenious. I've been stung hundreds of times. They're really not painful compared to hornets or wasps. I save bees that fall into water. They wont sting you if handled gently, and are quite grateful when you save them. No bees, no life.
THANK YOU DR. LEON VERY INTERESTING
That would be the Bees knees..
Aside from the million$$$ worth of cedar lumber, the "Bee Bed and Breakfast Nook" is a great idea!! 🐝
My husband built me one three years ago. I call it my meditation bee cottage.
When may I please visit you and experience this wonderful bee bed?? Not kidding, ready to drive to wherever this is, I understand what you have created and love bees just because they are 🐝 bees.
I hope there is 2/3rds concrete in those footings for storm proof stability.

Cleansing, soothing and calming, lol. Moisture and mold chamber, in reality.
