Thank you all SO much for believing in our farm & our channel. You guys bring so much joy to me
Your channel just got a lot more interesting with honeybees
I've had bees for 5 years now. Piece of advice for Jill...put your hair in a bun and cover it with one of your bandeaus. FIrst time you get that velcro in your hair or your hair stuck in the zipper, you will lose a chunky chunk! :D SO EXCITED for you! You will see the glory of God, our amazing creator in the hives the more you learn! YAY!!
I think the same way about seeing and knowing God in my hives. Amen and Amen
Jill, went through immersion therapy today! A few more time and you will be cured of bee phobia! Great job everyone!
Oh My gosh, I am blown away. What a great educational video Jill. This is an amazing brave young man you have working these bees. I have learned so much about bees just from this short clip. Thank you for videoing this adventure and sharing it with all of us.
This video makes me feel like I can keep bees! Thank you for sharing!
Love love love bees! 🥰 Also, I had NO IDEA bees recognized us by our faces. I assumed they thought we were interchangeable. Aww, now I love them even more.
How cool is that to see inside your beehive! 🐝 I love trying different types of honey. I've not had Goldenrod before. I look forward to more of your beekeeping experience 💚
That was fun to listen to him share his knowledge of bees. I have always talked to the bees in my garden assuming they would come to know my voice or my scent, but I never realized they could recognize my face. I do always turn toward them when they are near, and talk to them. Maybe this is why I have never been stung in my garden? I've had bees land on me, but I always thought I was just as a stopping off place for them.
Gosh Jill! You are much braver than I would have been! 💪🏻🐝
This was very informative today. I loved the info on bees. It looks so funny seeing you and Nathan all dressed up in your suits while the guy who's actually handling the bees is wearing nothing at all including gloves. Cracked me up.🌿🌸🌿
Hi Jill and Nathan Happy 🐝🐝🐝 enjoy .
The first time I opened my hive box, my heart was racing!! I survived and you will to. :)
This was great. Sean is a wealth of knowledge.
The Honeystead is going to have two day Bee workshop coming up!
I have always wanted to tend bees. I find them extremely fascinating and they always speak to the wisdom of the Creator!
this was so interesting. Sean is a wealth of knowledge. Love ya'll's partnership!
Aww beekeeping is such a joy! You're going to love it :)
He is so knowledgeable! What an awesome friend to have around!
Love love this! Ya for bees!
Congratulations on your bee's over wintering. I agree Jill, put up your hair especially as your summer gets hot...sweating in a beesuite your hair gets in the way in your veil.
I’m sure bees love you. They wont hurt you. Just relax and they will just be with you and chill it may walk on you.
WOW this was a super interesting video and I've learned more about bees from Shawn than I have from anyone else I've watched. This was awesome actually.
My bees arrive tomorrow! I'm so excited. I'm starting this in conjuction with a class through my local extension office.
Ohh this brought me back to when I was a beekeeper. Joe and I raised honeybees for 16 years! I loved looking for the queen, watching the worker bees come flying in with pockets of pollen on their back legs. The babies emerging and the queen doing her thing. I could sit for an hour and watch them. We gave it up 5 1 /2,years ago. My husband lost 4 fingers on the carding machine we use to process fiber. When that happened I was a bit overwhelmed and was not sure how I could handle all the hives myself. I wasn’t sure what capacity Joe would be able to work.
I have to say… he is full steam ahead with the farm and fiber mill. He amazes me! You would never know he lost 4 fingers on his dominant hand. I often forget. Anyhow, it is kind of unnerving when you are working with a hive and they start hanging out on your face screen. When they were all over me I had to just block it out of my mind. If I gave to much thought to what was going on on my suite and face netting I would have certainly freaked. I miss watching, processing and making candles. The smell of sweet honey filled our kitchen.
I think I should come work at your farm!! Bees, babies and sourdough!!
Sound good to me. Enjoy your day! God Bless.
Do you think you’ll ever get bees again?
@@melissasullivan1658
I would like to get a couple of hives again.
This is so fascinating!!! Also, that guy is so brave getting in there with no gloves! LOL!
Wow! That is a beautiful hive. Looks like you are going to be eating some delicious honey this year. 🐝🐝
Every gardener has their kryptonite Jill! Mine is frogs 🙈 eek!
I love the way Nathan is thinking, how many hives do you need to feed your family for the year?!? Great question!
U can use that bees wax for a lot of different things. Check out what you can utilize it for!
Fascinating🥰I’m with you though I would be skittish too. One step at time. I love that we are learning with you. It’ll be fun to see a bee video from you a year or two from now.
I LIVE BEES!!! I am going on my third year keeping bees and I was just like you in the beginning and by the second year I was having homeschool families come over every week so they could watch me do my inspections and learn about the bees. 🐝 🥰
Loved seeing this, I am getting bees next month. I will be attending bee school as well!
I loved this bee video! Thanks for sharing your journey on the new homestead. I'm really looking forward to following along with the bees as I'm hoping to start keeping bees someday as well. Jill, you'll be comfortable with them in no time!
My mother had a fit when my husband went to her flower wall with bug spray and told him "DON'T you dare hurt those bees, we need them in order to make out tomatoes develop". One fell in her pool and was struggling to get out, so Gene(my husband) emptied his solo cup and let the bee crawl into the cup and took it to the flowers then said "the bee sting will be easier to deal with than hearing mom fuss about her bees". Gene loves his mother-in-law.
😂😂
Congratulations on having healthy bees! God Bless!
SO fascinating! Shawn (Sean?) is a great teacher!
We have bees also and another bee keeper told us you can use liquid smoke & water in a 50/50 ratio in a spray bottle for the smoking and calming bees down. I'm in Ca and our fire risk is huge, so using a liquid instead of real smoke is a huge plus!! Just FYI 😁
So excited you all are co-farming with Sean! What a wealth of knowledge!! We could all use a friend like him on our farms.
You're absolutely right!
That is ok Jill. All respect for those that raise bees and keep bee hives. It is something I never had a desire to do. I guess because I have been stung alot as a kid. It was a really interesting video.
We finished our bee class 2 weeks ago and have our first hive going. I have another bee package on the way for a hive in my garden.
Yay congrats, you can teach us
Awesome...I worked several Colonies yesterday too, and Of course Sean is a Bee Keeper too! So exciting I love 🐝 🐝!
Jill I am 💯 with you. That said that was crazy fascinating to me!! I feel like I just learned so much. Thank you Shawn and team
Very interesting!!! Hope you get POT LOAD of honey! Have a nice weekend!!
We have been beekeeping bees now for 3 years and love it. It is very rewarding! They fascinate me. Rule of thumb when you see 7 out of the 10 frames covered with bees add a box. I wish you luck. Last year we harvest a little over 700 pounds off of 13 hives. The year before we got 1000 pounds so it just depends on the flow of nectar. In that year.
Thanks for the tip, congratulations on your honey harvest
That’s okay Jill I’m the same way when it comes to bees I love what they do to make honey and so glad your bees are healthy but that’s as close as I would get to them glad you showed us though now I want to see the process in getting the honey spun out of the combs👍
Please have Sean do teaching videos! The content would bee 🤣 so sweet!
Very interesting video Jill ..thank you for sharing
YES! Now your talking my language. You will love working and learning everything about these amazing creatures.
Congrats on overwintering.. you will get more use to the bees over time.. I am coming into second season keeping bee. It’s so addictive.. have two hives currently and two more ordered.. wish you all the best with your bees this year.. and that you all get enough to support your 3 qtr a month habit😁😁..
Great video 🐝🐝🐝
Awesome video on the bee hive. Very interesting, gets me to thinking about wanting to start a bee hive, but I know there’s more to bee keeping then what was shown today. Looks like it be very enjoyable venture.
Thanks for the info.
We are doing bees this year n im soo excited....
Bees absolutely fascinate me! I am still a little scared of them too, so don't feel bad. We have a honey farm not too far from us and I am praying those guys come visit our little backyard garden this summer!! :)
My grandfather raised bees. He had several hives. I remember watching him as a young child working around the hives, and harvesting honey. He made the best whipped honey butter. I wanted to own bees when I grew up. As luck would have it, it turns out I'm allergic! 1st bee sting was traumatic.
I refuse to give up my garden, but have had much respect over the years when they're are busy around my blooms! Great excuse for putting my feet up lol.
Awesome 😎
Yea it has been soooo windy here the last couple days
Super interesting!
We just added 4 hives to our homestead, very cool to get that close to that many bees, we have learn so much and loving bee keeping ! ❤🐝
Same!!! I am terrified of bees. I have been stung enough times to know how it feels.
Hi Jill .. I was thinking about your idea to get sheep to graze down bracken.. I follow a site Simple Natural Living .. they have homestead in Idaho.. they have Babydoll Sheep .. delightful little characters..they are small, gentle playmates for their kids .. recently posted a video talking about how much they love living with these gentle sheep.
I got a NUC of bees today!!
Way to be brave Jill. You got this💪
Jill you are so cute!! I love bees to but I would be sacred of getting stung too! They are so beneficial to our gardens!! Everything is getting greener!! I can’t wait to see WWF all bloomed and decorated out!!
Coming soon. I can't wait either. How is your place coming along?
Best video 😊
Amazing knowledge Sean 🥰 and fascinating to see and watch how the 🐝 🐝’s work together 😀 thoroughly enjoyed this vlog guy’s 🌼🐝🌼
Very interesting. Jill I'm with you I would not feel comfortable around them, but maybe with time. My question is honey really good for you? I have always wanted to know. Thank you Shawn.
That was pretty cool to see, even though I would be as skittish around them as you were, Jill. I can't believe your friend didn't suit up before handling them!
That was an amazing video. I really learned a lot watching it.
Oh! Jill! I'm making the same noise as you're making from those things with a million bees on them come out!
So interesting! I learned a lot🌻💜🌻
Would love to know how to work bees!!
I didn't catch how many hives for about 12 qts. Of honey. I think he said 60 lb bucket per hive.
Yes he said a 5 gallon bucket from one hive on a good year..
I have heard that bees help keep wasps away. Is that true? I would take bees over wasps any day.
My Great Grandmother told me...
"YOU ONLY FEAR WHAT YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND "..
Please go watch Lasy Lead and Leadfarmer they are certified bees keepers and Lady Lead raises Queens... way too kool..
They also have bee classes 101..
An a whole list of videos on inspections what your looking for and what your looking at....101
I personally have been watching these videos now for a year...I have learned so much! Check them out.
Bee 🐝🐝🐝 Blessed
If a bee stings you put a small hill of wet baking soda on it. Keep applying and before you know it the bite will be gone. 🙏 💙
😍😍😍
Also chuck on a thick headband, and having your hair in a bun to keep it from getting hot and sticky on your face and neck, having temps of 35-40 celcius where we are you quickly become a hot mess in your suit
Did you feed them through the winter?
We did not
👍🏻💛🐝🐝🐝💛
We've been beekeeping for 3 years, looking forward to see you getting into beekeeping.
Check out vino farm for bee keeping info, he's amazing and full of information
