Seth, you are very lucky to have the opportunity to work with a very knowledgeable beekeeper and a great mentor. Best of luck to you and kudos to Bob for all you do for others.
Bob your continued support and encouragement for the younger generation of beekeepers is incredible. Seth is obviously a great young man with a bright future ahead of him. I really enjoyed watching this video! Thank you for pouring in to his success!
All the makings of a successful beekeeper, youth, ambition, and a good relationship with a knowledgeable mentor. The best thing you can do is stick with Bob as long as he will let you. Don’t make the leap too soon.
It’s all about the bees, with a solid base of experience under him, the next step is facility . Cheers 🥂 Lol he can’t quit because he too broke ha ha ha ,
That’s is so cool! He sounds like a beekeeper. It takes a certain type of personality to do this business. He’s the kinda guy that will take ambition and translate it straight into cash
Bob you are a great teacher ,am learning from you ,here is a totally different climate, and my season is starting now and winter is our main honey flow Your content helping me a lot,I have 44 colonies now, wana to be a commercial beekeeper Lots of love ❤️from India 🇮🇳
Seth - Regarding the building you are planning, it sounds like a good situation for a two story building with ground level access at both floors. If the intended use is a honey house you might consider making the upper level for extraction and the lower level for honey storage and bottling. This way you won't need a pump to get the honey from the clarifier into storage. Gravity does the work for you. I can't take credit for this brilliant idea. Another beekeeper friend told me that he has a plan to do this in his honey house revamp. Just thought I'd pass it along. Bob - Thank you for all you are doing to convey your wealth of knowledge and wisdom to the rest of us. Your videos are regularly playing on my jobsites as I try to grow my beekeeping knowledge. I then take this advice into my bee yard and try to turn that knowledge into a skill as I apply what I have learned. I have a long way to go but you, and others like you, make it accessible. So thank you very much!
I went from 2 to 12 this year and thought that I was doing well! Please keep checking in with Seth it will be fascinating to see a commercial operation growing from the start.
This is a very decent thing. Transfering knowledge to new generations. In some 40 years somewhere at a conference the guy will tell people who taught him at the beginning.
You have a good soul. I wish I had a mentor like you. Helping the young understand there are jobs out there that do not need college degrees is priceless. I look up to you as someone I would see as a great man. And I'm a fifty year old, who bee keeps also.
Bob. Lol and build Scott his timing box. 😂 . Seth is a lucky guy to have had opportunity to work and learn from you Bob. Loved your double screen board idea as well built a few last year, they worked great.
Probably got started the best way possible meaning working for someone else first. Some people find waking up to an alarm clock for the boss easier than waking up for theirself, I don't know why that is but not everyone can get out of bed on their own time. As long as he doesn't forget the bees are boss he will be ok. And don't get too big too soon. "the bees will let you know if you have too many", said Ian Steppler
Congratulations on your success, Seth do you make videos? As a new beekeeper I would be very interested how he has and is growing his Apiary/Business. I'm starting with 4 and looking at trying to shoot for 12 or so at the end of the season, but WOW 8 to 80!!! I wouldn't have thought that possible. :) Ty, Blessed Days...
Awsome video Bob i have been watching your RUclips videos for well over a year now and always said to my partner if we won the lotto i would fly over and ask you for a job lol good luck Seth on your journey with the bee's cheers Dan from Aussie land 🍻🍻🍻
"we are going to shoot for the stars and maybe land on the moon" I like this guy. This guy could start a youtube channel with his new home build and beehive business. He can make more money with youtube. He has a really nice personality and like to listen to him talk
Seth I'm in the same position as far as getting into to bees. I went from 13 yo 60 couple. My mentor told me that you need to maintain a full time job until the bees can carry you. He has been keeping bees since he was 8 years old and renting bees since he was 15. He's 86 and still doing. although he was on Vaca. this week and fell and cracked his hip in South Carolina 2 days ago. I'm hoping he's going to be ok. Good Luck.
You should do monthly updates on his progress over the next 3 years. No matter how it ends up, it'll carry some good lessons for folks that are considering the jump.
Seth is a nice fella. A little weird (haha) but that is what it takes in this industry I'd say. Bob you ought to have him email me if you don't mind passing on the word to him. I have an idea.
I wish this young man the best. It's a hard road to make a living out of any side of this business. It's blood, sweat, and tears and a whole lot more...it helps if you have a leprechaun with a pot of gold too!
Seth is a very lucky young man he gets to learn from the Master and get paid to do it. There’s lots of folks that would work some for free just to get to learn from Bob!
Seth, I'd suggest you work no less than 5 years with Bob. You'll learn more about the details and variables , and not be stressing about $. A minimum of 500 colonies would be needed to support your family. Thanks for sharing your Halloween interview Bob 🎃👍
She's a cute, skinny little pretty aint she! But as the saying goes,,,,, if you REMEMBER the 60's, you WEREN'T really 'there', haha. Bob, love your vids and teaching, keep it coming. Thanks
Good luck young fellow. I started beekeeping 45 years ago till I found girls. Lost interest in beekeeping. Got back in beekeeping all the years ago gone by. Went from 2 to eight in two summers. Sure wish I could of found a great mentor like Bob back in those days. Again best of luck.
I’m just getting caught up with your videos. Was that really your wife calling you that supper was ready? Or a reminder set so you don’t forget to bring supper home? Love the videos.
this year i had around 20. Due to a drunk driver a friend who owns a Farm wanted to take the girls over. With a big investment we went well over 100. next year his plan is to be over 500. Good luck to him in the future. It was great having a Amish family build the Boxs and wax dip them as well as make the 2 ways. This year had a honey house with 200 frame extractor and a large shed with a thermo system built. Tomorrow we OA and again Friday. Then saturday the Girls go in shed till spring being temps are getting cold up here. Take care BOB Sir
You should get ahold of that tuck bee lady be very interesting interview. She makes living queen rearing .. building her own equipment about as low budget possible . She's 100% chemical free .. part of the year she's up in New York then most the year in Florida .. she's kinda reserved guys treat her poorly at times I've noticed not easy being lady doing things differently than men making them look bad .. I know she tried joining in some queen rearing pages on Facebook but guys didn't treat her like a lady kinda nasty really.. men flapping they're wings like roosters because she has her own methods .. I see her queens they are big old fat bugs so shes doing something that works. Friend on fb. Just a idea .. not sure if she does RUclips or not
Bob's video is current, Halloween at his shop, daily interaction with his employees. It almost November, his season is over but you knew that, right? What else should he be filming, pulling frames for no reason?
I think this video has TONS of great info and insight!! I personally know Bob, and I know as a subscriber, I would be very upset if he didn’t put out a new video (almost) every Sunday. 😌😆 But obviously someone who doesn’t have over 30,000 subscribers would understand that! 😅
Животные
Your a good man bob. Helping a young man with his life long career. And all the thousands of others with your knowledge.
God bless you Bob
Seth, you are very lucky to have the opportunity to work with a very knowledgeable beekeeper and a great mentor. Best of luck to you and kudos to Bob for all you do for others.

Thank you. See you in Iowa.
Bob, this is why we watch your videos and appreciate you, thank you for being you

HOLY SMOKES! This is the end of my 2nd year and I'm thinking 12 hives is more then enough LOL.
It’s all about the bees, with a solid base of experience under him, the next step is facility . Cheers 🥂
Lol he can’t quit because he too broke ha ha ha ,
Hi Ian. He loves your videos. I take that as a good sign.
That’s is so cool! He sounds like a beekeeper. It takes a certain type of personality to do this business. He’s the kinda guy that will take ambition and translate it straight into cash
@@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog He has youth and a good teacher on his side. Seems like a good combination to me.
Bob you're a Great Humanbeing,
An excellent motivator, /Employer,
Love it love you continue to bee that Great Person.
Best of luck Seth. I'd like to see more of you.
Hey to Molly! I love this place . Thanks Bob!

Went from 20 to 53 this year, thanks Bob for all the wisdom you share!

50 thumbs up Bob! The true measure of a person is how much knowledge they gain and what they do with it.
Usually when the boss says hey can I see you in my office please is never a good thing lol thanks for sharing buddy
Best wishes Seth. You will be and do great!!!
This is a very decent thing. Transfering knowledge to new generations. In some 40 years somewhere at a conference the guy will tell people who taught him at the beginning.
Good luck Seth! Thanks for the videos Bob and your contribution to the beekeeping industry.
I know envy is a sin, but it’s hard not to envy Seth right now. Couldn’t ask for a better mentor.
Your a good man to mentor and help out the next generation ☺️ Like Seth's confidence!
You have a good soul. I wish I had a mentor like you. Helping the young understand there are jobs out there that do not need college degrees is priceless. I look up to you as someone I would see as a great man. And I'm a fifty year old, who bee keeps also.

Seth couldn't have a better mentor.

Watching her from UK
Happy Halloween 🎃
You should do monthly updates on his progress over the next 3 years. No matter how it ends up, it'll carry some good lessons for folks that are considering the jump.
I've already asked him if that would be Ok and said yes.
hes got 1 of the best teachers that taught him,,he should be 1 of the best if he stays that way,,i bought 1 nuc then 4 more an split 1,,IM HOOKED TOO
What a fine young man. I wish him the very best. I hope he copies Bob in one other way and starts a youtube channel.
I'll mention that to him.
I went from 3 to 50 hives and thought I was hot stuff, who, 80 nice job!!
hope prices for honey improve, seems like they are 10-15 years behind inflation. that would help all of us with profitability
Seth is a nice fella. A little weird (haha) but that is what it takes in this industry I'd say. Bob you ought to have him email me if you don't mind passing on the word to him. I have an idea.
Hi Kamon. I'm guessing you remember Seth from dinner in Clayton. I'm sure he would love to correspond with you. I'll let him know.
@@bobbinnie9872 Certainly do. Thanks Bob!
I wish this young man the best. It's a hard road to make a living out of any side of this business. It's blood, sweat, and tears and a whole lot more...it helps if you have a leprechaun with a pot of gold too!
Way to go Seth!! No doubt that with your tenacious spirit and the light Bob shines you’ll land wherever your meant to bee! Way to go fellas!
Tie dyed shirts rock
We dyed our own made it personallized
best of luck. i don't know how you guys do it. I can barely deal with three hives. My back hates me, haha
I've thought a lot about becoming a commercial beekeeper. Something tells me to continue to be a sideliner.
Seth is a very lucky young man he gets to learn from the Master and get paid to do it. There’s lots of folks that would work some for free just to get to learn from Bob!
Hey Bob, good interview with a young entrepreneur. Are you selling double screen boards yet?
Hi Jim. We expect to building them in the next month or two.
Seth, I'd suggest you work no less than 5 years with Bob. You'll learn more about the details and variables , and not be stressing about $. A minimum of 500 colonies would be needed to support your family. Thanks for sharing your Halloween interview Bob 🎃👍
lol.........yeah, the 60's and 70's
She's a cute, skinny little pretty aint she! But as the saying goes,,,,, if you REMEMBER the 60's, you WEREN'T really 'there', haha. Bob, love your vids and teaching, keep it coming. Thanks

I honestly don't remember.

Seth should get a youtube going, would be interesting to follow his progress
We talked about it. He'll at least show up on mine from time to time.
Any updates on Seth? I wish him good fortune.
Seth is doing fine. We hope to include some of what he is doing in future videos.
@@bobbinnie9872 Great Bob! I'm excited to see his progression.
Tell seth to do some videos showing
From your worker to big time honey producer
👍
I’m surprised no one has asked what method(s) Seth used to increase 10-fold in such a short space…can you share?
He basically copied what I do. See our video "How To Split Bees. ruclips.net/video/-vFYqZ7Ojwk/видео.html

Mostly fun and recognition on this one.
