    Ok, I have watched many many videos on beekeeping as I want to start my own hive but no-one, I mean NO-ONE, has explained it like you have done in as much detail and in terms I can understand.

      It’s so true what @garryhancock3394 said about this video. I’m in a Bee club and I learned more in this video than a full year of beekeeping. I’m in the highlands in Australia so we are getting ready for winter. My last inspection will be tomorrow and testing before spring in September.
      Did you have any tips for 1st year wintering for new beekeepers?

Watching you handle those frames without a suit or gloves was amazing. I'm not that brave yet lol. Plus my bees are the Russian ones. They're supposed to be a little more aggressive, but on the plus side they are said to be resistant to varroa mites and also cold hardy. Will see I just got them in March of this year. Looking good so far. Thank you for sharing your wonderful knowledge. It's helping alot.
