    I am not a beekeeper yet, but plan to start. I live in the middle of Austin and mow around all of the wildflowers in my yard so that the bees can do their thing. I love going outside in the morning and seeing them just buzzing around.

    From a person that lives in the city and is absolutely in love with nature, i love your life. The things i would do to have a simple life in a field, growing my own food and taking care of my animals. I'm feeling a bit lost in life, but seeing how happy you look and how your happiness cheers others up it's very heartwarming to me. thanks bud :,)

    • @jast9999
      @jast9999 7 месяцев назад +1

      As a bee keeper I'd say, don't buy one, it's bad to work with, bad for the bees, very expensive, complicated to build and set up and just all around a bad choice.
      Don't get me wrong, I love seeing the honey flow out of the hive. But harvest is really the only part that is made more simple by the flow hive.... and there is a lot more to beekeeping than harvesting. All of which is way harder with a flow hive.

    • @jast9999
      @jast9999 7 месяцев назад

      ​@@TheWeedyGardenno, it's really bad for the bees actually.... The bees communicate with each other through dancing, the vibration of the dance normally goes through the hive and the bees know where the food sources are. But the thick plastic comb in the flow hive stops this vibration which is really bad for bee communication.

    • @jast9999
      @jast9999 7 месяцев назад

      ​@@TheWeedyGardenlove your videos
      But please look out for moisture content in your honey, it seems very liquid (could also be because of temperature of course). You always wand the bees to have the honey caped before you harvest it. High moisture content can impact shelf live and, at least in the eu, you aren't allowed to sell it with to high of a moisture content.

Normally wood goes a greyish colour being left out in the sun for a while. Could you please recommend, or what you used or what to put on the wood to keep it looking brand new like yours.

    question with setting up the hive, do you just wait for the bees to come or do you buy them from another hive that someone has ?

    • @TheWeedyGarden
      @TheWeedyGarden  6 месяцев назад +2

      Good question. You could watch “splitting a hive” video. It will give you one idea. Another is to catch a swarm, another barter something for some bees. I would say last resort would be to buy some, but yes, you need to find a colony to inhabit your hive. They will very unlikely find it themself. There are just way too many natural locations they could find.
