I have been trying to spread the word about honey bees being on the endangered species list and how they need to be protected so I've been advising people to grow flowers and vegetables not only to help themselves but the bees and to lay out bowls of rocks that break the surface of the water so the bees don't have to rely on pool water and such
I wish that I could thank all of the honey bees on Earth for all of the incredibly hard work that they do and tell them how much I appreciate them pollinating all of the plants and especially giving us that delicious, nutritious honey with all its multiple uses! 🐝🍯
I run a non-profit animal shelter in the Philippines. I moved here almost 8 years ago to get away from Canadian winters. Philippines is tropical so it's summer all year around. We have a 1000sq m property and I'd like to get into beekeeping to add one more element that the shelter has to make itself self-sustaining. We already have some fruit trees and a garden, so it would also be helpful for pollination. I've never kept bees before so I don't have any experience. Thanks for this video, I subscribed.
Never wanted to keep bees but i they took up house in my old pigeon boxes. Had a hive relocated 2 years ago. Now I got another one. They sure love my old pigeon boxes!
Thanks David, great video, you have a natural knack for teaching. After watching 4-5 beginner videos, yours was by far the most comprehensive, thorough, and easy to follow.
Thank you J! I spent so much time putting together my online video courses a few years ago. They turned out to be a big help when covid19 closed down all beekeeping classes. Glad you are enjoying them!
Can we just acknowledge for a moment how special and amazing bees are! I love bees and they are so important for our ecosystem. God bless the bees and the bee keepers!
I have just had a beautiful first successful summer. I did a lot of pre-research and I found a wonderful and lovely hobby for my retirement. I live in the beautiful lush countryside of Belgium. After much thought, I decided I would go with FlowHive. I’m now planning at least 2 or more hives. One subject I never read or hear beekeepers talk about is how each and every frame has a very different and distinct flavour of honey. One never hears or sees beekeepers telling us to not make the unforgivable mistake of creating a mishmash honey soup but to speak up about keeping and bottling each frames flavourful honey bounty separately.
I recently had the honor to help my mother in law add a brute box to one of her hives. First time I've ever done anything like that. I look forward to learning more.
Thank you very much for this video!! I had complete zero knowledge about beekeeping. This was fantastic first overview, i now know where to even begin. And once more - education is the first step. Thank you for emphasizing this.
I want to do this because my late father in law was passionate about it. Never realized all that goes into it. We raise most all 2-4 legged animals, but never considered bees! I look forward to watching and learning from your experience. Thanks for your info.
What a great video to find right as I'm researching Beekeeping. I live in California and I'm looking into beekeeping for pollination services around the local Almond farms. Thank you for taking the time to put out this content and help educate your viewers.
VERY informative video. I’m sold! I am planning to take my time in thoroughly learning about beekeeping & bees in general before I make the choice to take on this endeavor. This video was extremely helpful. You’ve given me a lot to think about with this. You gained a new subscriber today. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge & experience with us.
I have just signed up for a beginner's beekeeping course with my local beekeeping society. It is a winter course so classroom-based before the practical course in the spring/summer. This video was really useful while I am still in the deciding phase of whether or not beekeeping is right for me...or if I am right for beekeeping!
I just started I got one hive at present so I'm on here and happy to be 👍 thanks for the knowledge sir . Also to everyone else on here starting or wish to start bee keeping, good luck 💯💯💯.
Thank you, David. I’m purchasing a home this winter and the seller has a setup very similar and since she’s moving out of state she is leaving them with me, and I had no idea how to take care of bees! This definitely helped me understand a little more and I will be watching a lot more of your videos before I move!
Wow, how awesome is your work. Thank you so much for the information. Even though I’m not a bee keeper, I’m certainly thankful for those who are. I absolutely enjoy watching the busy bees.❤️
I've been looking for a video exactly like this for a long time! thank you so much you've answered so many questions I've had in just this one video. thank you again and I look fwd to checking out more of your stuff
I’m actually allergic to honey bees but I have absolutely always wanted to start bee keeping with a small hive I live just above Boston Massachusetts your video is amazing I can’t wait to start. Thank you so much for sharing.
Been thinking about beekeeping once I graduate college for a bit. I love gardening and beekeeping seems like a great hobby to add to that. Live in Missouri so similar weather here.
great info. I took a bee keeping class in Virginia in the summer of 2021. Bee keeping is a fraction of my plans of homesteading by 2023. Thanks for the video.
David, I am a Beekeeper/ From Reno Nevada, I was trained by Jo Muncy the Last World Master Beekeeper, he has since passed away. I am currently living in the Philippines as a Disabled Veteran and am thinking of getting back into beekeeping again ! I ran 25 hives in Reno at a squash farm which I left my hives there on the farm, it was a good deal back then. I started with 5 hives then did splits to 10, then 20 & I bought 5 more. I wanted to get up to 250 and hopefully get an Almond Orchard Contract, but that never worked out! I really enjoyed watching your video, thank you for making it! Wishing you a Great Year, Regards Rob Pecchenino.
everyone talks about equipment and in depth stuff about the box but the BIGEEST thing i had trouble with was WHERE THE HELL to get a starter group of Queen/colony bees
Thanks for a great beginners overview! First video I've ever watched on bee keeping as I imagine a homesteading life someday, and I really enjoyed it. Will bee (🐝) checking out more on your channel!🍁
This was a very informative and easy to follow video on beekeeping. Thank you for sharing. I also really love your enthusiasm and passion for it, it's so great to see. Thank you for sharing these great tips.
I probably wont be able to beekeep for another 2-3 years, but im extremely invested in beekeeping and i'd like to make it my career if im able to when im out of highschool (and college if i decide to go) All your videos on your channel have helped me understand more and more and im still super excited to do my best and try my best to make it work! Im gonna make sure to take enough classes for how ever long is recommended before i start, thank you for giving all this amazing information for free :D
Thank you David! excellent teaching! I hired a guy to remove a swarm of bees that moved into a wall of a playhouse I build for my daughters years ago. I was hoping to learn from him how to keep bees. He was from Romania (I think) and barely spoke any english. I had no idea the complexity involved and hot, hard work to do this stuff. You would have been a much better mentor! He left 4 hours later with $160, most of the honey, the queen, and most of the bees and I didn't learn a damn thing! Well, not really. I learned my lesson. Ha! The experience sparked my interest. I wish you were my neighbor. Have a great day!
Dave I really like your info on beekeeping it's very helpful and I really love your videos I live a mile east of Red Hill State Park in Lawrence County Illinois I sure would love to get into bees two or three hives I would really love to help the bee population I have 6 Acres ought to be plenty of acreage for my bees when I get them started thanks again Dave
Really good info David. Im a new beekeeper starting my first colony this spring 2022 and found this really helpful. Will check back for some of your other vids. I am signed on for classes from Canadas department of agriculture. Im in the Vancouver area.
Great to hear Les. I've got specific online courses if you need additional help after taking your on site classes. www.honeybeesonline.com/online-beekeeping-academy/
Great video. I’ll check out your online classes. Never kept bees but it’s fascinating and I love honey and healthy farming. Thanks for a good source of information
This was really a great first timer (which i am) video! Thank you!!
Thanks Christopher, glad you liked it. Awesome that you are getting into beekeeping. Good for you.
Omg me too
I have been trying to spread the word about honey bees being on the endangered species list and how they need to be protected so I've been advising people to grow flowers and vegetables not only to help themselves but the bees and to lay out bowls of rocks that break the surface of the water so the bees don't have to rely on pool water and such
Just found out last summer that I'm no longer deathly allergic to bees so I'm starting doing this this summer. So happy about this!
Nice!
I wish that I could thank all of the honey bees on Earth for all of the incredibly hard work that they do and tell them how much I appreciate them pollinating all of the plants and especially giving us that delicious, nutritious honey with all its multiple uses! 🐝🍯
the only way to thank them is to give them plants which flower, have pollens... plant few near you...
I am thinking of becoming a beekeeper in the future this was very helpful thank you.

That's awesome! Thanks for subscribing.
You are doing a job that is crucial for the ecosystem. Respect to you Sir! All the best.
Thanks so much
My 8 year old daughter just told me today she wants to be a beekeeper
Never wanted to keep bees but i they took up house in my old pigeon boxes. Had a hive relocated 2 years ago. Now I got another one. They sure love my old pigeon boxes!

Well thank you Candi and I hope you do get into beekeeping.

A huge help on my path to becoming a beekeeper 👍
Sooooooooo nice of you to say!

Thanks, David! I'm working on a children's book with a beekeeping story and this was so helpful.
Wonderful! And Good Luck!
Wow.. you've explained more, more clearly than the last few hours I've spent being confused from other "beginners" youtube videos.
Thank you sir
That is so nice of you to say, thank you.
I am also interested in becoming a beekeeper. And you are definitely an inspiration. Thankyou for sharing.
This was a really helpful video, I'm beginning my research so I can keep bees in the future. Thank you for sharing!
Cool
I want to do this because my late father in law was passionate about it. Never realized all that goes into it. We raise most all 2-4 legged animals, but never considered bees! I look forward to watching and learning from your experience. Thanks for your info.
Thank you Don
Thank you so much for this, I know I will be a beekeeper when I get out of college.
Thanks, David. I have heard that bees will help my fruit trees and garden. I am not sure how true that is, but it's worth a shot.
Now I’m a lot more confident in my decision to pursue beekeeping 🐝 Loved the video!!
Going to talk about your comment in my next video! Thanks
Thank you! Very thorough and professional!

Hey Jon, the way I figure, start, and if you don't like it, quit and donate your bees to a young person who is wanting to expand.
I just started I got one hive at present so I'm on here and happy to be 👍 thanks for the knowledge sir . Also to everyone else on here starting or wish to start bee keeping, good luck 💯💯💯.

"How to start bee keeping in 2022" but the video was posted 3 years ago.

Yea, nothing much has changed, how to start is basically the same. Like a book published is still revelant for years.
