At the 12:12 mark, David says "Waterloo County Beekeepers' Association", when in fact he meant the "Wellington County Beekeepers' Association".

Most thorough, well explained and easy-listening beekeeping tutorials absolutely anywhere.
This guy is great... Enjoy the videos and love the knowledge that he passes on to us
your videos are just wonderful I just keep watching them over and over thanks for taking the time to make them . U are great
Hahahaha "they just cant get up one more time to go to the buffet table one more time" had me in stitches!
Wonderful educational content. I am a budding bee keeper learning a lot from these videos.
Very useful and informative. In our warmer northern Australian climes we seldom feed. Colonies generally can collect enough stores to survive rather than thrive. Bee number and breeding seem to go into a holding pattern. Temperatures can range from -4 to 24C with heavy frosts followed by more ld days
Great set of videos. Thx for sharing Paul.
Thank you so much for these very informative videos. I'm already looking forward to next winter so we can give a few single deeps a try. Never thought it possible that a single deep could hold enough stores to last the winter.
That was so informative ....very good presentation.....thanks for posting
This is so amazing! 🤗
Great videos. Been going through them. Just subscribed. Question: I like the top feeder with straw on top, as I have them next to a straw barn. But does the wood absorb too much? How is the wood protected? Would putting a coat of beeswax be enough? Thanks!
Thank you sir! as always very helpfull. I'm curious if you supplement honeys with some protein or vitamins or just sugar syrup?
Glossary::Pail === Bucket, Aboot === About. Thanks for the excellent content!
Putting the entrance reducer upside down can help. Bee drop, winter kill can layer up and plug the down position opening.
thanks for the video. how thick are your hive walls? i use 3 cm thick walls, but they are very heavy to lift when full. Would you think a thinner hive walls would survive winters of -20 degrees? Also what would be other options for wrapping hives?
Just can't say enough about your videos
thank you for all your work , i trying to learn as much as possible ,good job.
Excellent ! Thanks.
To anyone interested in obtaining the coroplast polypropolene winter wraps ... They are actually available through the Wellington County Beekeeping Association (not the Waterloo County Beekeeping Association). Our 2018 order has been filled and we produced and distributed 3200 wraps through Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia and additionally sent a few 'south of the border'. These durable wraps last for many years. The program is run on a 'non profit' basis with wraps sold at just over cost. Any profits realized from the sale are donated to the Tech Transfer Team of the OBA. For more information on these wraps visit
