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 🐝
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 :)
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.
Hi, Alex. I recently discovered your channel, and I can’t stop watching your gardening and bee keeping journey. You inspired me to grow my own veggies and herbs again. Hopefully this time I can keep them alive. 😅😂🤣
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.
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.
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. 👍🇮🇪
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
great to see the progress of the apiary. Its like 2am here and I've just caught the upload. I hope the new bees settle in and everything goes well for you this year.
I always love watching your videos I learn so much from them! I also love the style of your videos and how excited you get about learning such an inspiration. Thank you for making your content and the time you take to put it all together telling a wonderful story while sharing what you learned. I look forward to future videos and updates. Love from Morocco!
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.
I don't understand how I got a bee in my bonnet. Here I was, watching youtube, and then his guy is on about starting beekeeping and I'm still watching him.
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.
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.
As usual another awesome video but gotta say we need more lol. I have learned a lot from you keep going mate miss the cooking stuff and the foraging videos those were awesome. You should mix in foraging cooking videos and some just cooking videos and your gardening ones when your in-between bee videos watching you learn and grow as you do stuff and how you explain everything is great.
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?
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.
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 ✌🏽
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉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 .
Hi Alex! My wife has found your channel and become enthralled with the idea of beekeeping. I'm OK with this! But please. Next video. Tell Charlotte to let Mark have a dog, too. Thank you!
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.
I love having a long video every once and a while over a quick video each week it’s more entertaining and I know it’s easier to keep that monthly schedule ❤❤❤ keep up the great work ** but what’s honestly most important to me is that you do this at your own pace so you enjoy it don’t do it if you feel burnt out we’d all much rather you take care of yourself than stick to a schedule
It's quite amazing how much you've grown in taking care of bees, I still remember your first video about beekeeping
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 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 :)
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.
Can't stop watching ❤his voice is so peaceful, and he is very acknowled, and dedicated.
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.
I'm looking forward to seeing all your progress this year, thanks for the great videos!
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
Hi, Alex. I recently discovered your channel, and I can’t stop watching your gardening and bee keeping journey. You inspired me to grow my own veggies and herbs again. Hopefully this time I can keep them alive. 😅😂🤣
i am a new beekeeper and your videos are very helpful, thank you
There are a few people how have a high chance of surviving in an apocalyptic senario. This guy, is one of them.
Midnight on a Friday in the states.....Alex video, fyeah!
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.
❤️❤️🫡
I really enjoy these beekeeping videos you’ve been making. Congrats on your new hive!
Hope everyone has a good day/Night!
Even though I don’t keep Bees the video content you create is fascinating and really interesting. Keep them coming Alex, great effort 👍
Congratulations Alex for being on ITV on Alan Titchmarsh. Love seeing the gardening content on mainstream TV.
I really enjoy your videos. Very interesting. I don't raise Bees. I am a Gardener and love and appreciate what Bees do.
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
Yayyyy, More Bees!
Alex, it would be nice if you did a video explaining the different types of bees. (Workers,drones, queens, carpenters and bumblebees)
Good luck on adding to the colony keep us updated 👊🏼
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.
Another glorious video Alex- love the calm positivity your videos always exude x
ive never been more interested in bees than now Alex and its all because of you
Thank you for sharing this! I always enjoy your videos. Well done 👍
I am always so calm after watching your videos 😌😌
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. 👍🇮🇪
Gentle bees❤
All of your videos are so interesting to watch, thank you for the wholesome content!
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!!!
Great advertisement for Lawrence well done🐝✅
Alex, I love these beekeeping-videos, they are so informative.
great to see the progress of the apiary. Its like 2am here and I've just caught the upload. I hope the new bees settle in and everything goes well for you this year.
Well done Alex, fellow beekeeper here, hopefully this will encourage others to start
Mum… Alex dropped a new video! It’s going to be a great weekend
Very interesting, I didn't know so much work went into bee keeping and making me that little jar of honey, 😊
an Alex video on my saturday morning? Hell yeah! Another awesome video! Keep it up :)
I always love watching your videos I learn so much from them! I also love the style of your videos and how excited you get about learning such an inspiration.

Love from Morocco!
Great video Alex! I'm looking forward to seeing how your new colony grows. Cheers
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
Another fantastic video. Thank you so much for that, Alex. Best of luck with the new bees.
Your such a wholesome creator on here. Thank you
I don't understand how I got a bee in my bonnet. Here I was, watching youtube, and then his guy is on about starting beekeeping and I'm still watching him.
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
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.
I work overnights in America so it's nice to have at least one channel upload during my "daytime"
Great watch as always ❤
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.

Super interesting! Would love some calm bees!❤
Please alex post daily, I am really enjoying the vlog
Thanks Alex, what a blessing video! Amazing content!
Great short vid! We're inspiring ❤
Yaay! new video about bees from Alex!
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 am enjoying,on every video which you doing.I am planning to start my beekeepin next summer,and i really can't wait.....
you were my inspiration to start gardening. thank you
Congrats for your new hive !!
Those islands bees are normally extremely expensive, greetings from Ibiza isle
have a lovely day lads
I've been binging all the beekeeping videos and thanks for those, great entertainment and inspiration.
Great dude .. your videos are mind refreshing. Plus if someone is down, it's a healer. Your videos are also very informative. 👍☺️🥳
Another great and very interesting video 👍 keep up the good work
Alex this was great I watch Laurance also he makes great videos. That place is beautiful. Hope you have a wonderful week
Thanks!
Awesome video buddy. You have a ton a talents 🤯
I have seen beekeepers kill a queen when the hive becomes too aggressive, and then they bring in a new queen.
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.
Nice one, Alex. Keep up the amazing work with your bee's 🐝🐝🐝😁👍
@RealJust_Alex 🐝😁👍

You should come to the North American Honey Bee Expo in January.
Hi Alex!
My wife has found your channel and become enthralled with the idea of beekeeping. I'm OK with this! But please. Next video. Tell Charlotte to let Mark have a dog, too.
Thank you!
I hope you get to have your own property eventually to raise bees and veggies. I enjoy your videos.
Excellent Alex, keep up the great work 👍👍

You should visit our country and learn about our Carniolian bees. Also you could see a 100:1 3D bee model.
Yay new video 😊😊
I become a beekeeper, thanks to you ❤️
8:47 "Making sure none of the bees are crushed" Instantly crushes one
Can you please do more farming videos? I love them.
i love watching you beekeeping 😊
Ta!
*Patiently waiting for a new video* love ya Alex!
Can we keep 2 or 3 different types of bees in same garden?
This was great! Thank you!
Bee keeping is so interesting how long can you leave your bees for un attended so you can go traveling
i can’t believe i caught a video this early. hello alex!
I love having a long video every once and a while over a quick video each week it’s more entertaining and I know it’s easier to keep that monthly schedule ❤❤❤ keep up the great work ** but what’s honestly most important to me is that you do this at your own pace so you enjoy it don’t do it if you feel burnt out we’d all much rather you take care of yourself than stick to a schedule
It's crazy how cheap a nucleus of bees is in the UK versus the United States
