    I've watched this video several times. This is probably one of my most favorite videos you've made and for my purposes probably one of the most informative. Thanks!

    He just answered my question at the end of this video....I just ordered a couple of packages from Barnyard Bees and I'm going to install them in these 2 frame nucs with mated queens. I built a bunch of 5 frame hives and I'll transfer them into those, because I've watched every one of his videos and everything he has told us is true. I've verified what i learned on my own hives but I haven't tried this yet..... That's my goal this summer. Thanks David

    Thanks for taking the time to make the videos. They’re great! When I got started in bees 10 years ago nobody wanted to help much and really the only way to learn was by doing and making mistakes. There of course were a lot of books and literature on keeping bees but nothing nearly as great as RUclips to turn to. At least I wasn’t aware of it. The people that did know and seemed to be doing well never seemed to want to give anyone the secrets. Maybe for fear of competition? Idk. but it sure is a great time to be a Beekeeper and better time to start keeping bees. Thanks for what you do here! 👍🏻👍🏻

    This worked very well for me. I built several and used them for the OTS split. Successful. Thanks.

    Hi David, I want o thank you and don the fat bee Man for all your videos. I had to get don in there too. I mad 3 of these mini nucs up, as 3 framers. I've done 3 splits in last 2 weeks, 2 as started with cells, and 1 as a walk Away split this past weekend. All looked good so far, and will do full hive inspections this weekend. Also, I did make the fatherland, barnyard top feeders. Looking great so far. I'm adding 2 feeders tomorrow . So all 3 will have this feeder installed. If all goes well, ill do all my hives with this style of feeder as well. I'm running 10 frame , medium boxes. Little more work than deeps, but great for the bees I think. Great job, and keep up the work you are

    Hey Dave, I really enjoy your videos and looking at you at first glance you look intimidating. But you are a good dude for sharing your education. Some good beekeepers are silent on some of there knowledge and it makes it difficult for folks like me to advance. I learn more from you than I do at these beekeeper meetings down town. Thanks a lot!

    And by the way.....you putting out these videos is getting me in a lot of trouble with my Wife! I started beekeeping less than 60 days ago with 2 packages. Im now up to 10 hives from those 2 little 3# packages!! LOL Plus a 6# swarm that I caught on Memorial day from a friends honey tree.

    I do really like your matting nucs! I have not built any yet but plan to. I think the main thing these help with is keeping things simple. Your matting nucs keep things simple by using the same frame as the rest of the operation. Those short frame boxes just seem like a lot of hassle having to put them in a full-size hive to get them drawn out, keeping track of where you put them and so on.
