- Keeping Bees with a Smile is the goal. Have we found the best bee hive? It could save a lot of Bee deaths and labor. Doug and Stacy have several Beehives and like many American Bee keepers they kept vertical hives and even fed sugar water to the bees. Year after year we lost large portions of our hives. With the switch to horizontal hives we have had and abundance of bees that survive the winter. Make sure to check out horizontalhive.com for free plans and resources

About OFF GRID with DOUG and STACY:
We moved to our 11 acres in 2011 from a large city in the Midwest with zero carpentry and farming skills. We live with no solar / wind power / public water or well. We share our adventure to a sustainable life, growing our own food from vegetables to meat. We post videos DAILY and they range from HOW TO to EVERYDAY LIFE and NUTRITION on the off grid homestead. We were city folks just like you probably and wanted to enjoy life and have more control over our food. We share food recipes as well as natural remedies.

Thanks for watching and hope it was informative
Awesome.
Yes please keep up the bee video's because we can save the video's in our RUclips lists.
Also, does Dr. Leo have a RUclips channel?
I don't have a computer so I have to use my phone, to watch & save my video's.
At my age at soon to be 66 & with my disability & having to use an electric chair & walker I'd definitely use his hives.
Thank you both so much for making these video's.
I've been studying bee keeping for a few years now & I'm so ready to start my own.
My Great Grandfather was a bee keeper & I've been wanting to do this since I was a kid hearing about his bee keeping experiences.
Thank you both for your video's.
@@terribethreed8464 I as well would like to know if the Dr. has his own YT channel. I'd be happy to subscribe to it if he does!
You need to warn people that if they accidentally go to horizontalhives (plural).com by mistake like I did, they’ll be inundated with pop-ups with all kinds of viruses.
I wander, if the ants & possibly mice ever try to invade the hives ?
This guy's a real pro beekeeper. No smoke, no protective gear, just a confidence and respect for the bees and they're totally cool with him. I love it.
The bees get used to their keepers pheromones and as time goes on some types of bees won't let another person touch the hive.
@@lynneharris7628 it were not his bees
Bees can be calm one day and mean as heck the next day. I’ve robbed hives without smoke, gloves or any other protective clothing without a sting and 2 weeks prior you couldn’t stand near them.
you ever get stung though a beesuit?
@@wiredvibe1678yes very easily 😂 depends if they are rather angry and you don't pay heed, you can get anti sting suits which I've worn to rescue bees from inside houses because of the disruption but generally I'd say if you treat your bees well you really shouldn't need more than a headnet in case you get stung on the face, they'll go for eyes if threatened.
Guys, I cannot say enough how I could listen to Leo's wisdom all day. Thank you for being willing to put together HOUR LONG informational FREE programming!! None of our other homesteaders, as much as we love them, would put together something like this and also make it free. I know all the other homies would agree- THANK YOU.
💥
Meemee DEFINITELY agree!! 💯🙌
Open source future. Thank you for your work
agreed 100%
And you will never know were this wize words will travel, i´m a young bee keeper from south america, and here am i taking in consideration all this information, thank you very much.
He’s so calm and confident and doesn’t seem to get stung! All that humming, I smiled he wore ear protection for the use of tools
i adore how Dr. Leo is so kind & respectful of the bees. Extremely knowledgeable & caring.
I enjoy Dr Leo lectures. What a wonderful, knowledgeable, and caring person he is. Thank you for bringing him to your channel.
Speaking of stings for health reasons I found out by accident that it does work. I had severe tendonitis in my left shoulder to the point I could not lift my arm and sleep was difficult because if I moved wrong it was like being hit in the shoulder with a hammer. I went to the Dr. and I followed his orders to fix it but from Feb. to Sept. I was still dealing with the pain. I was in the garden one afternoon and got a face full of ground hornets. Miserable to say the least!🙄 Two days later I realized my shoulder did not hurt as much. A week later there was zero pain. I could raise my arm farther than I had been able to in months. So I googled holistic uses for hornet venom and low and behold tendonitis was the first on the list!👍 God works in mysterious ways! When praying for healing I had NO IDEA HE planned on giving me a face full of HORNETS!🤣🤣🤣
What a testimony!
It would be neat if we could take the venom as a tablet rather than as a sting!
Love it!
Very nice! I was stung on the hand by a hornet when i was 5.
Been stung many times over the years by wasps or bees, but i can say the hornet was by far the most painful. But i was 5, so....
I saw one of these videos before and wanted to buy the books but held off. I have been wanting to work with bees for a long time. My great-grandpa and grandpa used to have a bee business. They would take their bees all over California to pollinate for farmers. A couple of years ago, Grandpa got a swarm from a man. I have been trying to encourage him to teach me, but he is 86 and his body isn't what it used to be. He doesn't like change, so I have a skeem to build one of these horizontal hives for "me" for "my" own bees. I am hoping he will like the design and beekeeping will be more fun for him since he doesn't have to lift the boxes off the top. Seeing this video, I bought two books. Crossing my fingers they get here before I leave to a new destination. Thank you all for these videos. I have high hopes!
i’d love to hear an update 🥺🥰
@@shortyshorts11111 I have a horizontal hive..The first swarm left again and I wasn't able to find them. Luckily, I saw a swarm at my daughter's school and I caught that one. I had.itnin the catch box for a year before I moved it into the horizontal hive. That was the beginning of this summer. I have not done a hive check yet. It was a huge hive by that point and I am nervous to work with them alone. I plan on looking at them soon.
@@monkandmomo ooo good luck 🙏🏽🥰 lol i bet it’s booming inside there. thank you for taking the time out of your day to type that out for me i really appreciate it.
Dr. Leo is such an incredible teacher. I really appreciate the insight he has shared with us all.
Already a hive in the upstairs of the old farm house with a broken window upstairs.
Dr. Leo transfers bees to a new hive with no suit ... like a BOSS!
Tinker but he wears ear protection...lol
Jezi H he probably like being able to hear. Ear protection while operating a circular saw is a good idea.
Doesn’t he get stung at all?... just saw; he does; but doesn’t mind :) I’m going to man up and take some stings. The last one on my lip had me shook for a while.
It all depends on the genetics of the bees. Some hives become very aggressive.
Who wears a suit? I never worn a suit.
Dr. Leo Sharashkin is an amazing teacher and a kind, gentle man. He knows volumes about beekeeping and shares it all with those who want to know about the world of apiary. Any video that he is in I watch to the very end and this was a very long one. Thank you Doug and Stacy for hosting Dr Leo as often as you do, the more the better. And thank you Dr Leo for being so generous with your time and beekeeping knowledge.
Dr. Leo is a national treasure and gifted teacher. I was on the edge of my seat watching the master at work. Thank you, really appreciate this long form instructional video!
Dr. Leo is great! He explains why certain procedures are done rather than just telling us you need to do this procedure without explanation. Makes it very easy to understand and the information stays with you because you understand WHY.
For content like this, love the longer format! I wouldn't have wanted to miss any of the information that Dr. Leo had to share.
It's a toss up, people have such short attention spans these days and wont even click just because of the length ... missing all this gold
@@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY i LOVE the long videos with Dr. Leo, something like this needs to be in depth..cant rush knowledge. I dont even have bees & when i see a dr. leo video up, i plan a time to watch the whole thing or if i'm too busy, i watch in chunks...never miss one.. it's fascinating. i'm surprised at the amount of people that balk at longer vids. Luv ya D&S, thanks for sharing!.
@@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY Even if it takes a few watches to finish I do. Leo is awesome! Thanks yall!
OFF GRID with DOUG & STACY it sounds like those poor folks are just going to miss out!! You can never please everyone.
I do agree, for this type of information, I think this long format is a necessity!
Such a wonderful man involved in caring for bees, because he is knowledgeable, passionate and caring thanks for sharing Doug and Stacy
Yes I LOVE LONGER TIME. THANK YOU. GOD BLESS YOU. I PRAY for YOUR TRAVEL 5 HOURS. And for YOUR FAMILY.
Dr. Leo wears no protection from the bees during transfer and sawing the frames, BUT wears ear protection for the saw noise. He is the man!
Lol
That what I said
I was so engrossed with the info that I didn't realize it was an hour and 16 minutes long. Felt like only 15 minutes. I actually wish it was longer with even more info, guess I'm getting spoiled. Good work.
Fascinating! I ALWAYS learn something from Doug and Stacy. I especially enjoy the visits from Dr Leo! Thank you for promoting a lifetime of learning!
“When you grab the queen, be sure to grab her from the thorax and not the abdomen”
Yeah, that’s not something I’ll have to worry about, Leo. There shall be no open-handed bee grabbing in my future 😆.
So trump was wrong?
Trump is always wrong.
I've never seen a King Bee before this video. This man is amazing!
@@AS-ug2vq 😘👏😆🤣🤣he wouldn't have the SPINE to grab a queen BEE!😄😄
@@carolyncollings9107 🤗🤗😘👏👏👏👏💖great one!😆😆😆🤣🤣
Normally I don’t like super long RUclips videos but I can listen to Dr Leo all day. He’s so interesting and I just love watching him work and listening to his amazing knowledge!
"I feel a bee crawling in my shirt"......I scream like a panicked child while flailing across the pasture!
Dr Leo rolls up sleeve, little shake , rolls sleeve down, buttons and proceeds 🤣🤣👌
🐝🐝 LMAO !!!
33:30 Bee gone from my shirt sleeve... lol. Good job!
Thanks Dr. Leo!! I have a friend who just purchased an 80-acre farm and mentioned bee keeping. I will definitely pass on both Doug & Stacy's RUclips videos and Dr. Leo's website. Thanks again for sharing this information!!
lol ! He won;t make any money from just bees,
80- acres ? grow produce in demand or pasture raised cattle, pigs , sheep
@@davelawson2564 , where does it say, just beekeeping?
This is really encouraging - I have been keeping bees for 10 years but the boxes have gotten so heavy for me as I am getting older. I was seriously thinking this is my last year to keep bees. Maybe I can manage to keep it up if I switch over to the long version.
Its really genius design. I've seen african versions of it where they have a triangle design the only difference is they having to cut off the whole bees wax
@@releventhurt top bar hives
8 frame mediums for all your hive gear. Can move any frame anywhere, and 8 medium frames is much lighter than deeps.
Top bar hives are great, bees are super calm compared to working Langs. Those extra deep frames can still be exceptionally heavy if you have back issues.
We live in rural Deep East Texas where my husband was born and reared. His family always kept bees so he has taught me some of those skills. I've gone from "You will >not< catch me out there with those bees!" to working with bees with no suit. In fact, because of my curiosity, husband built me a special hive with glass on the top...which the bees promptly covered. lol For awhile, however, I was able to watch as I wished. Our last hive disappeared about 3 years ago. No clue as to why. No die off...they just left. Now, we're really wanting to get more bees. A few days ago a neighbor's grandchildren told me there is a colony of bees in a tree by their house. I'm going to go take a look at them in the next few days with an eye to bring them home to live with us next Spring. My husband is a logger and he >used< to regularly find wild bees in the woods. He would cut the tree, top and bottom of the cavity, plug up their entrance and bring the log home. However, I think our collective knowledge was not enough to properly handle bees. After watching just this video I've realized there is much more to caring for bees! I have Leo's website bookmarked, I've downloaded the Plant PDF's, put the books on my "Purchase" list, subscribed to the Newsletter and will be showing this video to my husband when he gets home. We'll begin to prepare for bees in the Spring! I feel these horizontal hives will be a snap for my talented husband to build. I'm so excited! Thank you, Doug and Leo, for this wonderful video!
No apology necessary, this has been the most fascinating bee keeping video I have ever had the pleasure to watch.
Thanks YOU Doug and Dr Leo ! Blessings
Sure do love listening to Dr. Leo. Such a wealth of info!! Thank You so much for sharing your knowledge!!
I like the longer format especially when it's something as important as teaching about bees. Also I love off grid with Doug and Stacy. I always look forward to new videos long or short you always have information that I can use. I moved off grid Last Summer after watching a video and Doug said just take the plunge. So I did, and now July will be one year I have lived off the grid I've always wanted to do it I enjoy it, I'm taking my time to build it right . I bought a shed the cabin, and plan on raising bees as well as chickens, rabbits, and goats. I would like to thank you Doug and Stacy for all the good information that you give out and for your encouragement. God bless you both.
Absolutely fascinating to listen to Dr Leo describe the world of bees and bee keeping. What a great collaboration you have.
Doug, I remember years ago when you .lost all the bees over. the winter. You have come a long way. Dr. Leo is the bomb! Trying to get to the conference. Keep it up, I'm waiting for more.
I love Dr Leo’s presentation and his care of the transfer of the bees.
Honestly, stinging insects make my skin crawl, but this was absolutely fascinating!
Thanks Dr. Leo, for taking the five hour drive!
I love the longer length video with teaching about the bees. I had seen a gorgeous horizontal hive at the Amish shop where I purchase my bees and didn't know what it was. It was very busy that day, so I thought I would ask later. Your videos have been marvelous. My next hive will be the horizontal hive. Thank you and Stacy for all the work you do to make all your videos. I learn so much.
I built 2 horizontal hives from Dr. Leo's web site this year. I love them. So much easier to work with. Thanks for all the videos and information.
That horizontal hive looks sweet. Seems like the best of both worlds between the top bar and langstroth hive.
The only issue can become space and vertical hives take up less ground to use and thus one can raise more colonies even if they aren't as productive. It's like the logic of a house vs an apartment, the apartment can hold more occupants and uses less space.
When it's a topic that is so in-depth as this one, the longer format works great.
For regular viewing the shorter formats, 12-25 minutes, I personally have more opportunity to catch those. Sometimes I only have a few minutes available, so I speed up the video in order to see the whole production.
Doug and Stacy, thanks so much for sharing all the information you share. I am 72 years old and not yet homesteading, since I'm in transition of downsizing and living in a city in the southern panhandle of west Texas, but I'm very active in survival and implement much of what you are teaching us into my regular life.
You often answer so many questions that I never even think of asking, so each video is a special treat! I love learning and I love y'all!🤗🥰
My son's and I are currently looking into purchasing land with wooded areas as well as water running through the property in order to build a self-sufficient life.
Thank you also for sharing your tips for healthy eating and herbal/medicinal techniques to use for health sustainability.
God bless you both! ....and I'm so glad your dogs came home! 😃
Protects his ears from small drill sound but no worries about protecting his face and body from bees! Haha
I KNOW RIGHT!! 😱🐝
THAT WILL BE ME SOON I HOPE🙏
ARE YOU SINGLE CUTIE LOL??☺

@cry broken WELL SINCE I LAST POST ON HERE I GOT MY FIRST BEE'S GOT STUNG TWICE IN THE TRANSPORTATION OF THEM PRETTY KOOL DOESN'T BOTHER ME MUCH.BUT DON'T HAVE THE GIRL YET LOL ,BUT IT DOESN'T HURT TO TRY ITS. UP TO GOD IF IT'S RIGHT ITS RIGHT BUT I FINALLY SETTLED FOR A DATING SITE AND WOW NOT HERE BUT BRAZIL AND COLUMBIA ECT LOTS OF OPTIONS GOOD RESPONSE BUT WE SHALL SEE !!👍👍🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸
This is amazing and I've learned to much. I keep bees and I would never do this without my gear ... lol like the idea of the horizontal hive!!! Dr Leo is amazing, he is a great teacher and so very calm with the bees. Thank you for sharing. This was invaluable information.
AWESOME... LEO IS GENTLE AND CONFIDENT WITH BEES AND COMFORTABLE … A BEE MASTER 4 SURE !!!
THANK YOU Dr. Leo, Doug and Stacy. We have tried bees twice here in the Northwest and both times we have lost them. Lots to learn still.
Here's the best of the best teaching - providing the best teacher, recording so we can observe & listen, as they're explaining what they're doing, & we can rewatch any of these any number of times!
I've been hoping to learn about beekeeping for decades.This is far better than just reading books, & obviously, this teacher is among the best to learn from. Thanks so much.
Pretty sure he has his own channel too...but he IS a great teacher/educator! Van alway ask fou/stacy how they found him...😘👏👏
Me before watching ........... Awww! An hour and a quarter? ...... on Bees??? Can I be bothered watching?
Me after watching .............. Wow! That went quick!
1.5x to 2x speed
Totally engrossing and so very fascinating!
Thank you doctor Leo and thank you Doug and Stacy
Yes. Love the long format. Thank you very much to you both for the information and inspiration.
So enjoyed the Homesteading Conference this year with Doug and Stacy!! Can't wait to do it again !!!!
Dr Leo is a wealth of knowledge and I so enjoyed his presentations at the event. He explained the process of bee keeping so clearly and succinctly that even a novice such as my self could set up a hive of wild bees on the homestead. Thank you Dr Leo!
Thanks for coming!
Being from Az.... with a captured swarm for my hive.... it amazes me that he has no suit 😳! Here, my Bee’s are so aggressive I wear a full suit and they still chase me around my property when I go outside. 😞
Maybe try to replace your queen with a less aggressive one. From what I have learned is the queen determines how aggressive the hive is. You should be able to find a local apiary fairly easily.
Thank you Doug and Dr. Leo for making these videos. I find them very informative.
Thank you Dr Leo for all you info and for helping Doug and Stacy
Thank you, Dr. Leo and thank you, Doug! I'm a total Dr. Leo groupie... he's my #1 Bee Boss crush! So much info I'm going to need to watch it several times to take notes. Leo's wisdom is priceless.
This was a very interesting video to watch. I was thinking of a temporary top lid for the horizontal hive, with a hole the size of a langsroth super. That way you could put a queen excluder and the super on top, without cutting any frames. You could prepare a couple of layens frames in your shop, with drawn out comb, to put in the horizontal hive with the queen (you would however, have to find her first :). Within a month you can then take away the langsroth super and put a definitive lid on your hive, as all of the brood would have hatched by then.
Excellent video! Dr. Leo's explanation of the Horizontal hive along with the transfers of the vertical frames was priceless! Thank you so very much.
thanks so much to Dr. Leo, and you all for all the information. Have a great and blessed day
Another interesting bee video. Dr. Leo is do calm. You have some healthy bees. 💖
This is an excellent instructional video! The
best video I’ve ever seen on bees.
I know these are older videos but I have only just found farmer Doug's channel. I thankyou both for your invaluable information. I could listen to Dr Leo talk about bees all day. My wife and me have been interested in keeping bee's for a while and you guys have changed my way of thinking about bee keeping.
Thanks Dr. Leo! I always love the videos where you show up. Always a goldmine of information.
Epic Vid Doug!
One of your Best!
Always a treat when you have Dr. Leo on.
Wish i could've gotten to this Vid instead of watching other vids.
Dr. Leo is an amazing bee handler! 👍
Thanks for recording, editing and sharing.
I know it takes a lot of time? if there's a way for you to circle or graphically point out the queen as he was verbally pointing it out?
That additional work? Makes your vid above and beyond quality!
Again great Vid and Thanks for sharing!
Hi Doug , I am so impressed by this video my wife and I have just stated building two new long hives from scratch. We have many hives and will try out the new longer hives this week. thank you for posting this video , you guys rock!
How did it go? Did you notice a difference in the way the bees acted?
@@mikem8475 no difference
Dr. Leo, thank you very much for publishing the plans on the web site. The horizontal hive seems so logical once it's seen. As I don't have any Langstroth hives or equipment at the moment, I can start building Layens hives and frames from the beginning. I hope to capture a local swarm of native bees; fortunately, I live not too far from a forested river valley with all sorts of wildlife. The winters this far north are very long and very cold. We also get a lot of snow, which makes me think that perhaps making the hive legs slightly longer, with more ground clearance, might be an advantage. The foot of each leg could be fastened to an anchor driven into the ground, to prevent a hive from blowing over during a winter storm. Thank you, and Doug & Stacy for these very helpful and informative videos - lots of practical instruction and tips, as well as explanations of why to do things a particular way. About the only thing you haven't covered in any of the videos I've seen is making a hive unattractive to bears. We have quite a collection of them locally, black bear and Grizzly or Brown bear both. Maybe I can suspend the hives from a few sturdy trees, with a block and tackle setup to lower them to a convenient height for working. Anyhow, many thanks!
Very interesting episode! I learned a ton of things about bees. I find Dr Léo's way of explaining easy to understand and to remember. Thanks to Dr Léo, Doug&Stacy!
I just came to watch the guy do all of that work without a suit 😂😂😂
Fascinating video. I may decide to keep bees in the future. I found it hilarious though when Dr Leo put on the ear protection to use battery tools for a few seconds. Um, you're messing with a swarm of bees without any protection!
Thanks for the video. Very informational and a good alternative for the hives versus the vertical boxes that we use for our hives. We continue to look at the horizontal boxes for future splits because we are now up to 8 hives this year. Appreciate all of your information you provide and it is great to see what you discuss as you practice it on your farm. Thanks Doug and Stacy.
The length of the video is what it is. When you have that much knowledge and what to pass it along then it shouldn't matter. Thank you for all you and your wife do to help educate people about homesteading!
Seeing him handle the bees, and they don't sting him is amazing!
It's easier than one might think.
EASIER SAID THAN DONE I SAY ,BUT I HOPE TO BE LIKE THAT SOON☺
BY THE WAY ARE YOU SINGLE YOUR VERY CUTE IN YOUR PIC ,I FIGURE THIS IS BETTER THAN STUPID SCAM DATING SITES LOL??😍
How is he doing this with out upsetting the bees, it’s like they have no fear of him. He must secrete a hormone that calms the bees, wow!!
I especially like how you use earmuffs while using tools as a protective measure while still not wearing a bee suit. Better man than me that’s for sure!!!
The long format is great. I did watch it in two sittings over two days, but enjoyed it and learned a lot. Thank you both very much.
The Dr Bee Whisperer! WoW WoW WoW!!! Amazing
Very interesting video. We kept bees back in the 80’s, things have come a long way. I was watching one of your older vids today, homestead hygiene and heard you follow Torah. I knew I had a connection with ya. Trying to catch up with all your older videos
Length of video was fine for this subject. I liked that he was not rushing and took time to explain even repeating himself. It helped me process what he was saying. I've never kept bees before so it's all new to me.
I love these videos! Thank You Dr. Leo and Doug. Awesome information.
Let Dr. Sharashkin know that he needs to update his the plans on his Horizontal Hive site to include the screen bottom w/the plastic trays and the access doors at the bottom.
I'm amazed he did all that without protective bee keeping clothing on!
Some bees and hives are not a holes.
What a peaceful man
Thank you Dr. Leo for making these videos with Doug. I enjoy them!
I wanted to thank you and Dr Leo for this video. I learned more watching this than hours and hours of other videos! Thanks a lot for both of your efforts in putting this together!!
"Start with the frames that are least Beezy ..."
Hey, is that where the word Busy comes from :-)
How is this guy able to seperate all those boards and steal the queen with his bare hands and everything else he does without pissing off the bees and getting stung? Totally amazing to see this. Even noisy powertools cutting the hive no problem....incredible.
The weather, their hive or something else correctly. Entirely their own fault. Yes, I say that as a bee sting sensitive(not wholely allergic, but sensitive enough to make my pharmacist and family doctor *very* nervous!
My neurologist, a beekeeper himself, is satisfied that I'm knowledgeable enough about my own bodily reactions and allergic reactions, and that I'm not taking too much risk, AND AM taking appropriate precautions when "working"the hives on my own...he's OFFERED me a prescription for an epi-pen if I want one around "just in case" but feels I'm developing a tolerance on my own, snd my hyper reaction will decline on its own with further exposure, either stings or their,(specificly) honey consumption. I told him i'd rather not get hooked on using an artificiel crutch and simply allow my system to adapt..he told me I,should be fine in just another season, or two, at most...not that I'm going out to dance the mambo in front of any beehives, but I'm pretty confident I can get new hives now, and populate them with confidence that should I misread the hive sound (an irritable hive is VERY noticable in sound, as compared to a content one)and find myself with an angry insect deciding that I need a close, personal introduction to her "ouchmaker", I shan't be winding up in hospital either.😉😘👏👏💖🙃
Experience, working WITH the bees and knowing how to read their "mood" by visual and auditory cues..any expérienced beekeeper knows his/her hive well enough to spend a half hour or more "working" in shirt sleeves. If they can't either they aren't reading the
Good energy! Animals and insects feel your energies. If you’re there to harm or being erratic they will know
Great content. Just found your channel and have been binging it. I never knew I wanted to know how to keep bees until this video. Amazing amount of knowledge showing it's an art and a science. Thanks, Dr Leo, Doug and Stacy.
Love this format and love all the info from Dr. Leo! Hands down one of the best vids. Ty Ty Ty

@@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY HA HA! Such good content I didn't even realize it was that long! Great video. Really want to look into a horiz. hive now. I hate bending over lifting deeps.

Leo is the man! 🙏🌻
Not a bee manager, but found this video very informative. Thank you for the simplified explanation of yet complex management of bee's keeping.
Thank you. This was truly a college course on Bees. I don't raise bees wish I could but everything I grow benefits bee and butterflies. Dr. Leo, you are incredible.
This dude definitely knows what he's doing. I can't believe he was that invasive to a colony and did it without a bee jacket, veil, gloves or a smoker. I'm impressed!
What happened to the 4 celled queen cells that were initially found in the fence line long box.
Very informative I myself already have 2 long boxes that I used to transfer my Langstrum hive boxes.
Thank you, Dr. Leo. Amazing information. Beautifully presented. Five stars.
All I can say is wow. Love Dr Leo such a patient, smart and gentle man. Just loved this video. So impressive
This is truly great content!
enjoy the longer format...do you or Leo have a how to "getting started with beehives and honey production" for beginners
Wow! I didn't expect to learn so much from this video!
Thanks to Doug & Stacy for having Dr. Leo on! Couldn't have imagined a video over an hour long to go by so quickly!
Plus I showed my husband, so I watched it twice! He liked it too, btw!
Thanks Dr Leo !!!! Thanks Doug & Stacy!!! You all rock!
omg this should be taught at schools this is cool
Are you kidding? They can’t even teach civics or history. How could they possibly teach humility and kindness?
sure........... they dont teach a damn thing now, as it is !!!
My kids learning bee keeping through a boces course.
It's a conservation program.
@ DEBBIE , ARE YOU KIDDING THEY RATHER TEACH YOUR KID HOW TO PUT A CONDOM ON A CUCUMBER! OR THAT JANE HAS TOO DADS AND ITS HEALTHY! HOMESCHOOL AND FIGHT THESE EVIL PEOPLE🇺🇸🙏
@@equalizertime188 I see nothing wrong with the things you listed.
Dr. Leo is a fearless stone cold gangster.
Thank You for showing Dr. Leo's content at your homestead! I learned about from 628 Dirt Rooster then was recommended by Fredrick Dunn that Dr. Leo was in my area and I'm so thankful for the information! I'm definitely going Layens with my hives as I hopefully capture some swarms in my area of SW Missouri. I've already bought one swarm trap and will likely get a second and I'm considering registering for the March 18-19 2023 seminar, it's only a little less than a 3 hour drive for me.
I love how beautiful the new hive looks and how nicely the frames fit together!
Dr. Leo Is the bee man to watch and learn from. Solid knowledge and approach on the subject of keeping bees like nature intended. The insulated hive is fascinating and make perfect sense. My climate is very hot in the summertime and I have to prop the lid open to cool the hive in the late morning and in the evening place it back down. I see a new insulated hive in my future. Thanks so much for a fantastic video.
If only all the citizens could be like these people, constructive and positive, instead of all the anger and hatred and evil and fighting.
black and yellow lives matter
@@onewhostudies6856 ALL lives matter. Anything other or more than that is; RACIST. aka EVIL.
I am getting so excited about all of this new information and to be able to do this ourselves. Thanks Dr. Leo and Doug!
So much valuable info in this video. Leo has convinced me to keep my bees in horizontal hives.
