It's quite amazing how much you've grown in taking care of bees, I still remember your first video about beekeeping
your hive numbers are building nicely👍
bees need to be certain that you or best friends take care of them. So keep an undershirt for some time, two days, in front of their house. So the bees get used to your smell and they will not see you as an aggressor.
Most peaceful bees live in South America. There are species who have no capacity to a make a sting.
What I am interested in is how music,the G string music of J.S. Bach influences the bees or frequencies 432 or 528 or others.
Awesome vlog again Alex 😎Tremendous info and great content 👍⭐️
Pay your parents rent you as
Fantastically interesting video. Alex, you’re a wonderful teacher. Your explanations are clear, simple and relatable (even to beer drinking by a pond). Please keep us updated on your beekeeping progress 🐝
That's how i like to start my saturday morning. "This is the way" Thanks Alex
I'll take a 14 min video once a week over a 40 min once a month.
id take 3 20 min Vids a week and a 40min vid a month😊
I would take a 40 min video every other day!!
There’s probably not that much content available as growing vegetables and working with bees tends to not have much involvement after the beginning of the season and the end of season, a lot is just checking things to make sure everything is okay and that’s it.
Growing mushrooms
Growing veg
Beekeeping
Traveling
Fishing
Foraging
Hunting
Camping
Etc etc
Agreed
I'm looking forward to seeing all your progress this year, thanks for the great videos!
Happy for you and your new bees! Any update on your alotment ambitions? Have the slugs taken over??
I have the same problem with slugs I put road salt around and under my hive
There are a few people how have a high chance of surviving in an apocalyptic senario. This guy, is one of them.
Heyy Alex you're doing a fantastic job with your bees, you're great at teaching about the bees ,keep up the good work stay safe
Midnight on a Friday in the states.....Alex video, fyeah!
Why are bees being fed sugar in the winter, instead of the portion of the honey they provided? Wouldn"t that make them more strong versus the elements and parasites?
The honey is more of a recourse than food to the bees. Also, sugar is s great energy source and a delicious snack for them.
I have started beekeeping 1 year ago with 3 hives now i have 45 hives thanks to u i had inspiration.Now my next goal is only honey harvest and i hope i make them 100 next year :)
yo never been this early to a channel before❤
I've had very aggressive bees before. They were mean but they made the bees. The bees I have now are so sweet and gentle. That makes for happier beekeeper. I have 5 hives. Thank you for your videos.
@ Alex your brother Carl should do a video collab on your channel.
I am always so calm after watching your videos 😌😌
Awesome video! Does anyone know the name of the soundtrack you used around 12:20?
Love your videos Alex! Are these less aggressive bees more vulnerable to more aggressive bees, hornets or other predators?
Nice one Alex. Did you put empty frames in with your nuc frames?
Another great video Alex. Laurence is a top man to buy a nuc from and his aftercare is second to none. You’re in with the right team there.
Mum… Alex dropped a new video! It’s going to be a great weekend
what video is that little orange box from @ 1:05 ?
It’s from the video of his “2 years of beekeeping - honey production, queen breeding, splitting honeybee colonies and stings!”
@@Hannah-dd3lo Thank You!!
@@Francois_Dupontyou are very welcome ❤
i think you have to tell people that you have a patreon because i bet there would be a lot of people willing to support you that dont know about it
Crazy that you have nearly caught upto carls channel so fast
Yeah black mountain honey helped me loads when starting out great videos from you both iv also brought a F1BF queen from Laurence highly recommended ✌🏽
it's always a good day when Alex drops a new video
Thank you for sharing this! I always enjoy your videos. Well done 👍
Hello Alex, I really want to start beekeeping but I want to start from home and put them on my rooftop, is it faisable ?
@Just_AIex. How can we do that ?
Bee keeping is so interesting how long can you leave your bees for un attended so you can go traveling
Your beekeeping playlist has a leather making video from a whole other channel in it.
I like the music choices on your videos c:
another alex video!! happiness chemical time
Can you do more skiing I love skiing and I have watched every single video of skiing pls do more
Lovely!
Congratulations Alex for being on ITV on Alan Titchmarsh. Love seeing the gardening content on mainstream TV.
Does Alex reply?
I live on my sailboat, fishing isn't an excuse to drink beer, it is what I eat, seafood only. Salted, frozen, smoked, dried, pickled, fermented. Why pay for food when it's free, I've lowered my yearly cost of living to $3500 including everything, even internet.
I really enjoy these beekeeping videos you’ve been making. Congrats on your new hive!
Yayyyy, More Bees!
This was great! Thank you!
You should come to the North American Honey Bee Expo in January.
Greetings from Ireland ..Great video Alex…I’m a nubee with my first hive 5 weeks ago…unfortunately it swarmed 4 days after I got it…was at work so no chance to catch the swarm!!
Still learning
Thanks for all your content…I don’t feel too bad now
You're where that swarm came from!!!
I’m late! Nooo! I was taking a nap!
I am enjoying,on every video which you doing.I am planning to start my beekeepin next summer,and i really can't wait.....
proper gloves now i see lol
Even though I don’t keep Bees the video content you create is fascinating and really interesting. Keep them coming Alex, great effort 👍
Another great and very interesting video 👍 keep up the good work
i am a new beekeeper and your videos are very helpful, thank you
I see no comments about how great your sunnies look, so here’s one! Your sunglasses really suit you 😎
Ah thanks 🤩
Hope everyone has a good day/Night!
Love seeing your videos Alex. You’re such an inspiring young lad. Keep them coming. Hope the bees do well for you. Saw Lawrence’s video when you collected them too. Absolutely fascinating. Really enjoy seeing them. 👍🇮🇪
Alec please advise your viewers who may get bees this way to follow the recommended instructions by leaving the nuc in the spot they will live for a few hours or a day so they can orientate to that area.
Then once they have mapped out the area then transfer to a hive.
IMO still collect colonies from anywhere but use them just for the worker bees and requeen them with known quality stock with known good attributes as soon as possible is the best and most cost effective technique if you can afford it. Its cheaper than kerp buying nucs and will have same results within a month or two.

Hello Alex 👍
Thanks Alex, what a blessing video! Amazing content!
IM SO EARLY FEELS WRONG
i can’t believe i caught a video this early. hello alex!
Can non-aggressive bees defend their hive from aggressive intruders??
I was wondering the same thing as well….
Alex this was great I watch Laurance also he makes great videos. That place is beautiful. Hope you have a wonderful week
Thanks!

Thanks Alex for the new bee vid :)
Those islands bees are normally extremely expensive, greetings from Ibiza isle
Great advertisement for Lawrence well done🐝✅
I got some random bees from a local beekeeper. They are also really calm bees, especially the smaller hives. I realy need to do something wrong to make them sting.
But as the hive grows they do get a bit more curious but do not to sting.
i love watching you beekeeping 😊
Ta!
I am thrilled that you are so knowledgeable about you set your mind to. Greetings!
Such beautifully calm those bees are. My solitaty wild bees are like this in my garden. So calm and sweet.
What are you planning to do with this year’s honey?
Alex, l just found out about Lorobees! Check your bees for mites.
Great watch as always ❤
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉bee 🐝🍯🐝🍯🐝 thank you Alex 😁 am in Kampala, Uganda, Africa 🌍 and I really love your bee 🐝 business, farming, education and your travels showcasing bee keepers . I love honey 🍯 but I have never kept bees. Bees here are angry 😡 so I would always chase them .

Nice to see you !
I work overnights in America so it's nice to have at least one channel upload during my "daytime"
Grow sugarcane plz!!!!!!!😌👍
I just got my first ever bees eariler today. I used a package but im kinda worried bc i dont see a single flower in sight other then my neighbors. Anyways, i sat on a rock for over an hour watching bees getting used to their hive. Heck, i didnt even wear a suit watching them. I only had one bee try stinging me and it was completely my fault, i accidently sqeezed it. Bees are amazing.
have a lovely day lads
😀👍
Super interesting! Would love some calm bees!❤
