@Dr. Christopher Johnson Sorry Mr Johnson! We live on a abundant planet! Legacy Families, Banksters militaries, Agencies run Government! It’s time for humanity to know the truth! These people were manipulated lied to, told your special! They only bred to there own blood! Family Tree with no limbs!Compartmentalized and were used against each other like us! If you put close on, bleed cry and scream! Your a human on the same roller coaster ride humanity is on! Your a doctor of some sort! Feel like you have been used! Welcome to the human condition! Time for a change! Standing up and being the best honorable person you can! We are human, we fail! Have a wonderful day!
Hi Bruce, hope ye have a lovely holiday! 😊 btw small tip eith the goats, we had goats back in the day and we put dog collars on them! Makes it way way easier to catch and manage them! They dont mind. Try it!
Hi Bruce and Annie, glad i could be on the end of the phone to help out. Brilliant work managing to catch the swarm and get the Queen in the Nuc Box, they will be fine! Fingers crossed the new queen will emerge in the original hive (get matted) and you will be up and running with 2 colonies!!! Hope you enjoyed your well earned break 😀
Nice job with the hive Annie and Bruce! That was suspenseful, but successful! Enjoy your vacay! I struggle to get ready for time away from home, but I don’t have goats, chickens, pigs, batteries, bees, etc to think of! Glad you are giving yourselves a break. You deserve it. Safe travels!
Goodness me, there’s a few grumpy comments on this video Bruce! Enjoyable as ever for me. “Bruce is the boss in this relationship” - had me laughing at that one, Annie.
I think some don’t understand how RUclips works. I also don’t like click bait but hey it literally quadruples my views and that’s how I get paid. Annie is definitely the boss lol 😂
Thank you. Fun video. I once went looking for bees that had swarmed and when we found the ball of bees on a rock we sprayed them with water then brushed them right into a bucket. And I brought them home in my car to our bee box. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 Also the white chicken is so pretty and white!
Hi Bruce and Annie!well done for work through that list, you will need a holiday after doing all that! Your land is looking very magical this time of year, hope you all have an amazing break away ❤ 😀
Well done with the bees. Lovely vlog as always, still watching every Sunday. We hope you have a great holiday, it's well deserved. ❤ Becky, Sam, Iz & Euan x
Wow Bruce and Annie, you have been super busy. Hope you've had a great holiday, you all deserve a break. The area your beehives are in is sooooo pretty with all the flowers. Looking forward to catching up with you next time.
Never a dull moment! 😂 loved seeing all the animals and great result on capturing the swarm and moving them to their new hive , sorry Annie took a sting , enjoy yer holidays 😊
I get it! Life on the homestead (an elsewhere, I can assure you) is at turns, stymying, unpredictable and aggravating. Let the wingeing begin. -- Okay, now that's out of the way, carry on and do all the things. You know you can do! Both of you are accomplished and I admire your perseverance. It is not easy, but it is doable. You know why you are living this life and you find ways to get over and around yourselves. Keep Going and Enjoy Vacay!!
Have a lovely holiday! We had swarm sagas too & naturally daughter (the beekeeper) was away. We now have 2 hives & a nuke & have given one colony to our original source person, instead of just one hive. Inspection either today or tomorrow. Btw, treat bee sting by smearing a little honey on a plaster/band-aid & leaving overnight, then remove plaster & don’t pick at the little white spot that remains or it’ll itch like mad ❤
On the choice of bee gloves,, orange ones to thin when your nervous, white ones to thick hard to get a feel for things, I am beekeeping a few years now and use IKEA marigolds, cheep and just the right thickness 👍 a bit of a white sheet and a little smoke to encourage them into the box, I try not to use smoke but needs must, another great vid 🐝 no bother to Annie getting stung you big girls blouse Bruce 😂
Don’t scare me like that Bruce, saw the Title and thought oh no what’s happened your leaving the homestead 😳🤣 great video as always the banter between you and Annie cracks us up🤣 Have a great break👍
Hi Vernon I hear you. The long commercial you can fast forward through. I appreciate you wanting to see the content but I’m also trying to make a living doing it.
It was. I got paid directly so I made more money on that one but one benefit of that arrangement is you can fast forward through it rather than being forced to watch
Well the grass is growing well at this time of year. I’m a bit partial to watching grass grow myself although I probably have a bit of an unhealthy obsession with grass
@@thedarklandsmusic ah well that was a result of both my strimmer and brush cutter breaking this week and had to get the place ready for the people minding the place while we are away. The grass had stopped the solar from working properly so had to do something. Hindsight should have just borrowed a neighbours machine. But will be investing in a scythe when I get back I think
Hi Gerald that add was in as they paid me directly. You can actually fast forward that ad as it’s in the actual vid as apposed to the ones google makes you watch. I’m trying to make this my full time job and this is one area that I can make a bit of money. The vids take me a long time to make and just trying to keep them going
I also hate the click bait but unfortunately the analytics don’t lie. All my non click bait titles get a quarter of the views and I get paid for views. So if I want to sustain making these vids I need to play the RUclips game
Click bait titles just makes the video a lot more successful and so makes me a little more cash and I’m trying to turn this into my full time job. I have had vids with normal titles and they crash and burn. They are a lot of work to make so I just try to think of a title that’s relevant to the content that will get views. This video is a good example as so far is the best performing video out of my last 10 uploads.
@@OffGridBruce Click bait title makes one video more popular and several unsubscribe members. After that statistic goes back to "normal". What you homestead youtubers don't realize that your problems comes from lacking of imagination and lack of content. Just sit down for a little bit and think, who will want to watch the same bland content every week. And I'm really sorry but right now your content is just not interesting. If you want to make living of youtube, you need to think what are you trying to show people. And if answer is "my families life" than sorry your live is boring to watch like my own. And yes there are some people that love that bland content and there is nothing wrong about that, but like you just said, you still can't afford to live from these views that you have right now...
I hear you and take that on board. My analytics would say different though. The problems with analytics is I can’t have a conversation with them. So far month on month I get 1600ish new subscribers every 28days on average and some vids I can see I loose a few but I always seem to gain more than I loose which would suggest that it’s kind of working. I can’t get to crazy with imaginative content right now as I have way to much to every day which is why my vids are whatever is happening that week that I manage to get the camera out for. Maybe in the future I’ll have more spare time to think of more on trend vids. Appreciate the honest feedback as much as it stings and I’ll try and keep it interesting. Out of interest what brought you here in the first place?
Sorry that you feel you have to go. I can see how that would be annoying. RUclips doesn’t pay very much so took the opportunity to be paid. Hopefully you can understand that it takes me a lot of work to make the vids and am trying to find ways to make a living. Thanks for watching my vids so far anyway 🙏
Why do you find it necessary to be overly hyperbolic ? Huge Drama Shock Horror, yes shock your audience why don't you while your live the life of Riley and were all stuck in the city waiting for it to kick off. Thanks for that

Enjoy Your Hols! Have a Great time Great Vlog xxxxxx
Thanks Fi :)
Have a lovely holiday!!
Thanks 😊
Looks like a goat stand is in order Bruce. With your building skills you could whip one out in no time. Enjoy your vacation
Definitely need to make something
Have Fun on you trip !

Always an adventure at the property! Luckily you all seem to be very adaptable.
Thanks for the extra long video.

Maybe I should have done that. They are well settled note though. The white ones are leghorns. Great layers so far and big eggs too
Great vlog have a good holiday x
Thanks we will
My heart was in my mouth when you were trying to move the bees , well done to both of you, I don't think I could have done that!
It was mad
Hi Bruce and Annie!well done for work through that list, you will need a holiday after doing all that! Your land is looking very magical this time of year, hope you all have an amazing break away ❤ 😀
Thanks Liz. The land is absolutely stunning right now.
Great Video as always Bruce and Annie. As a beekeeper myself I get overwhelmed this time of year, you both did great.
Have a wonderful holiday.❤

Thanks 🙏 it’s nice to know we have 2 hives now. So far they seem to be doing well. It’s absolutely incredible watching them swarm
@@OffGridBruce I know (terrifying/awesome)! ❤️🐝❤️
Your land looks so amazing with summer, and it shows in you guys too. Great vid. A holiday? Are you not already there? ❤
To be honest we totally are. Have created a life I don’t want a holiday from :)
Nice stuff! Maybe think about getting some battery boxes and insulating them...will keep them healthy a bit longer.
That’s a good idea
A WEII DESERVED HOLIDAY 😊 Enjoy it 🎉
Stay Free and Safe Travels 😀 👍 🙏 ✨
Thanks Mike
Lemon balm will attract bees to an empty hive.
Have a great holiday - fully deserved!
I had heard that too

Great video guys! Aren’t bees fascinating! Enjoy your hollies 👍
They are absolutely fascinating
Good to hear Bruce speaking fluent Irish 11.30 🤭
😂
They like to walk in. So a ramp of card or something helps.
I did try but the ground was all stoney so they were going under the ramp. They figured it out in the end
OMG! Those bees! 🐝🐝🐝
Crazy isn’t it?
Where you going on holiday
Great video I failed my CVRT and forgot to take hub caps of 😂 ☘️

Absolutely Bruce!
Hoping you're all well dude!! Cheers for the video!! What about a scythe for the grass jobbies? Recon youd be sick with a scythe 💪
I’d love a scythe. I will buy one soon
Was the advert actually in the video? I thought my adblocker was fecked. 🙂
It was. I got paid directly so I made more money on that one but one benefit of that arrangement is you can fast forward through it rather than being forced to watch

Are you sure that's a Newt? To me it looked like a Salamander.
It’s definitely a newt as we don’t get salamanders here. Look very similar though
