Book looks great. Can't wait to read and use it. My first season I did and read everything bees and took a chance on a non ventilated hive setup through winter. When most in my area run ventilated hives. I took all 5 colonies through winter and thrived in spring. Gave me shot of confidence although I had lost a couple through the season. #BeekeepingBlueprint
Looking forward to reading through the book. Love how the book has the links for the videos We started keeping bees once we found out 1 of our 6 kiddos needed natural sweetners. Being we are going through 80lbs of honey a year, we new beekeeping was the way to go.
Congratulations on your book launch Jason! This is my third year of beekeeping. Each year has been a learning experience. Best part for me has been that I took over my 85 year old Dad's beekeeping hobby and he is still with us to enjoy seeing me take care of the hives! I'm even teaching things he didn't know! Best of luck with your book! I downloaded a copy and plan to review on Amazon! Thanks for all your help. #BeekeepingBlueprint
My favorite moment that I have experienced in beekeeping was opening a hive for the first time. It was amazing to see all these beautiful creatures working together to build, create, and work in unison. It was just a magical experience. Good luck with the book and thank you so much for all the tips you have provided throughout this experience. #BeekingBlueprint
#BeekeepingBlueprint I'm loving your book. I haven't read the whole thing yet I'm going to write a review as soon as I'm finished. Of course it will be a positive one. I love all of your content. You have loads of knowledge that needs to be shared. I truly appreciate you sharing your beekeeping experiences with all of us. I am a part of the beekeeping blueprint community as well. That's a great place to bee🐝 congratulations on your book Jason!!
Congratulations on your book. I'm reading the ebook but I'll buy the paperback. My experience with bees began when one of my brothers text me to ask if I had my swarm traps set. I had no idea what he meant. Bees are my therapy. I'm 4 years with bees, but last year i lost 2 out of 3 hives due to mites. That was the best teachings I learned. Now the one hive is now 5 this year. Another brother who entered my life raised bees and he is a queen maker. I'm sorry for your loss of your brother. I have 6 brothers all younger. I love them dearly. Continued success Jason. 🌻🐝
This is my first year keeping bee's. So far, my favorite moment is when my grandson took some bur comb with honey and started to eat it and smiled and said how great it tasted. He is with me every inspection and asking all the time when we can check hives. #BeekeepingBlueprint
Best experience is transferring my first Nuc with zero real experience. Just randomly decided to buy bees from a local beekeeper. 6 years later, still going strong!! #BeekeepingBlueprint
Congratulations on the release of your new book. Best beekeeping moment(s): building my own observation hive and sharing with friends and family, young and old. Worst beekeeping moment: working bees without boots and getting 12+ stings to my ankles when taking a deep brood box off and setting it down too hard next to my feet because it was much heavier than anticipated. #BeekeepingBlueprint
My best beekeeping experience was my first year. I ordered two Nucs I got into catching swarms and ended up catching seven swarms on my own property before I even got my two Nucs And I was able to keep them all through the second year. My worst Beekeeping experience was my third year when I lost all but three hives but I managed to do enough splitting to get my numbers back up. I really just don’t see me ever not having honeybees and I am very much looking forward to reading the book. I haven’t had time yet but I Will. #BeekeepingBlueprint
Great book Jason! I love the science of bee keeping - there are just so many lessons to be taught: from geometry to social lessons to caring for livestock. My worst experience was my son was helping me to move a hive on a 30 degree November day, we tripped and dropped the hive - alas we were not wearing bee suits. His face swelled up so much that I had to call him out of school the next day… oops. ❤️🐝🐝 in Northern IL #BeeKeepingBlueprint
My best experience beeing a beekeeper happens every year. Watching the girls bringing in pollen and nectar. The full leg baskets and their abdomens full tells me that sweet honey is going to (hopefully) fill those supers! #beekeepingblueprint.
New to beekeeping 6 weeks ago. purchased 2 packages and got them going. Really exciting after watching several youtube videos and gung ho. Purchased outfits for 2 of my 4 grandsons 11 and 13 years old as they were excited as well watching the packages growing. Now all 4 grandsons also want hives. #Beekeeping Blueprint
Hi Jason! I wanted to do something awesome with the family farm to honor my Grandpa Lees. My daughter and I decided on honey bees plus grow our own food, fruit trees and flowers. JubiLees Bee Farm was established on April 30, 2024 with 3 packages of Italian bees. We love learning about our girls and are excited about our new adventure! #BeekeepingBlueprint
My best experience beekeeping was after watching videos all winter long and preparing my equipment. I decided to buy an incubator and I cut some Queen cells After using a double screen board and raise my own queens in the incubator it was amazing watching them hatch out and introducing virgin queens into splits. I made from my hive.🐝🐝🐝 #BeekeepingBlueprint
Jason new beekeeper here. Probably my best experience so far was when i got my first nucs in April. One had gotten close to swarming just before i got it so they added a second box which meant more bees for me. When installing the second i noticed three queen cells. My mentor agreed that they were queen cells and we split it.. Viola three hives for the price of two. #BeekeepingBlueprint.
This is my first year bee keeping and my favorite experience so far is when I set a swarm trap in early spring and caught a swarm of bees! #beekeepingblueprint
10:32 my best experience with beekeeping was introducing my sister to beekeeping. To see the excitement and happiness on her face is priceless. Worst experience was above a dizzy sprll and falling with a frame in my hands. I crushed my queen. 😢 #beekeepingnblueprint
I downloaded your book, so far loving it. Been beekeeping for 4 years now and have top bar hives. I shared on some of my Facebook groups. Been watching your channel as long as I have been beekeeping. Thanks for helping beginners. :)
I caught a swarm 3 years back. Landed in my front yard right in front of me and my wife. It was so special. It was magical seeing that many bees flying together. They just started to gather on the tree about 15 ft up. I knew nothing about bees but I was able to stand on the truck and rake them off the branch into a bucket using a paint pole. It was wild I had no smoker no veil no experience but had caught the swarm. Needless to say I was clueless. I built my own version of what I now know is a top bar hive. I lost those bees that winter. Didn’t get a bit of honey and struggled to build a decent colony all season. I decide the next spring I would dive deep into learning what I could do to be successful. I joined my local club and have this year restarted my journey after 2 seasons of reading and watching and learning. Now I am having a blast. Amazing what a bit of prep can do. #BeekeepingBlueprint
Congratulations on the book release! Being my second year keeping bees, my favorite "moment" was extracting honey for the first time. I was told not to expect any honey the first year. Well, after adding a sixth super to all three new hives, it became very apparent that I was definitely going to have a honey harvest. In total, I was able to harvest 27 gal from three hives, all being nucs with and no drawen comb. That was my first year, I successfully split all hives earlier this year and am hopeful that this year is also a good year. I've learned a lot from you and a few other youtube channels, so thank you! #beekeepingblueprint
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. I’ve learned a lot the past couple of months from your videos. I’ve been wanting to get in to beekeeping as we have a few acres with a bunch of fruit trees and berries. We also grow a lot of veggies every year. This past winter, I was watching a beekeeping video and my youngest son got really excited about the possibility of raising bees. He seems to be really serious about it. So, with the help of my son we are finally going to try our hand at raising bees on our little Homestead. Great job on the book! In my review, I made sure to point out how excellent and technical the illustrations were. Very nicely done. #BeekeepingBlueprint
My favorite beekeeping moments was when my 3 year old granddaughter was watching me extract honey and she was amazed to see the honey running out of the extractor. My wife handed her a spoon and she filled it with the honey flowing from the extractor. She loves honey and still talks about her Pepaw harvesting honey. #beekeepingblueprint
Congratulations on your new book! Can’t wait to read it! My best/most exciting experience with beekeeping was my first swarm retrieval. It was so exciting and fun. Thank you for all of your beekeeping tips! #BeekeepingBlueprint
This my first year beekeeping. I am already in awe of these creatures. How they build their combs, how fast they grow, how gentle they are (if I don't mess up). Thank you for these resources and good luck with the new book!!!
I love beekeeping.. I got my first Hive as a gift and knew nothing about bees. My best experience was having a successful first year. Even though I crammed a lot of learning into that first year. Now they are such a huge part of my life. #beekeepingblueprint
Made it through my first winter of keeping bees. I have so much to learn. I am hooked i walk up every night after work to see what the bees are doing. I did my first splits two weeks ago. # BeekeepingBlueprint
#BeekeepingBlueprint I have read the book previously released electronically. It is a great beginners bee keeping book. A step by step per se. I plan on rereading it on its release.
Alright brother. We are locked and loaded. You have done your part in writing the book. I’ve done my part by writing an honest review, let’s see how she flys. Cheers brother and congratulations.
In my 5 years of Bee keeping I have had My highs and lows. Robbing and absconding is a bummer. Good grafts and emerging queens always a high point #abeekeepingBlueprint
I joined a bee club in 2019 and started learning everything I could about honeybees. Good thing I did, because I ordered my first 2 hives in December 2019, and then the dreaded Big "C" happened and everything shut down. I was 100% all alone with my lovely new hives. Had I not learned what my basic steps were before getting those Nuc's I would have been a mess. I mean I was anyway but not as bad as it could have been had I not joined my local club! I can't wait to see your new book!
Best experience was meeting my bee keeping mentor. This is my first year and I joined a group on Facebook and asked for some help. Chuck reached out to me, we talked and he guided me step by step. When it was time to set up the hive, he gave me two swarms and help me put them in. #beekeeping blueprint.
I'm a new beekeeper this year and enjoy learning as much as I can. So far, bees are doing well. With two hives, the best thing so far is I've only been stung once. #BeekeepingBlueprint
Thank you for all you do!! My worst experience with bee keeping was my first year, they was swarming around me, the noise and the bees in my face overwhelmed me and ran to the garage, trying to fig6out how to put the hive back together. I had to learn to trust my bee suit and over come my fears. Look past the bees flying in my face to focus on what o am doing on the hive and learned to remain calm. #BeekeepingBlueprint
My brother and I started watching videos & reading books about honey bees back in 2004. We wanted to have hives of our own, but unfortunately there is an ordinance that prohibits bee hives inside the city limits. We continued watching videos and reading books, while trying to get the city to grant us an exception. On April 14, 2018, my brother suffered a cardiac arrest that ended his life at 40... I was 39... He was my best friend, and I gave up on our beekeeping dream afterthat. It wasn't the same without him, and I didn't have much fight left after losing my best friend. Saturday at the Farmer's Market, I met a woman who has bees and invited me to her apiary! Talk about the best beekeeping experience! Can't wait to go! #BeekeepingBlueprint
Sorry to hear about your brother. In my book you will learn, I lost my brother too and bees are what helped me get through the grief I was dealing with. In my case though I am the older one. Have fun in the apiary!!
My worst experience was mowing too close to my meanest hive with my tractor and brush hog. They were all over me and chased me across 4 acres and stayed on me even when I got in my home. I bailed off the tractor and left it running and lost my glasses slapping them off my face. I’m in Texas and think that hive has some Africanized genetics. One of the guards will sometimes sting you when you get near them. That’s my oldest surviving hive. My best experience is rescuing bees that would otherwise be killed. All my hives are from rescues I do. #BeekeepingBlueprint
One of my favorite memories in beekeeping is the first time I made a split. I had used a swarm cell I found. I remember opening the hive up weeks later and seeing that big beautiful queen! I was so proud of that queen! #beekeepingblueprints
Beekeeping is super rewarding for me, especially because I mix it with mindfulness. I’ve found a bunch of ways to bring mindfulness into my beekeeping, making the whole experience even better. #BeekeepingBlueprint
Congrats on the book Jason. I bought the paperback. One of my two partners is my Grandson. I'll pass it on to him when I'm done reading through it. Thanks for taking the time to write this book and sharing your knowledge. Review complete.
Loving the book I wish I would have had it when I got my first hive. I went into it blind not knowing anything. I started with one hive. Best time was when I went out and collected a swarm and moved them into the hive I bought. Yes I didn't do anything right. I got stung up all the time. I didn't get honey from it and they didn't make it through winter. The worst time was when I realized it was my fault. I sold my bee stuff when I moved years ago and glad I did. That was over ten years ago. Been Watching you and some others now for years. Looking forward to trying it again. I'm retired now so I have the time and I'm about halfway through your book and learning more every day.
Congratulations on your book. I’ve watched many of your videos and incorporated several techniques. My most “exciting” event in my beekeeping was about 8 years ago and about 8 years in my bee keeping journey. At that time I had 35 or 40 hives. I was mowing around them with a big zero turn mower and it zigged when I wanted it to zag and a row of 15 hives were all tossed on the ground. Never having had an issue with hostility while mowing I wasn’t wearing any protective gear. I can assure that a 25 HP Kawasaki powered mower will NOT out run 15 hives worth of pissed off bees. They ate me up. Back to the house and pulled out my never used full suit and went back to reassemble the hives. #Beekeeping Blueprint
my favorite part of beekeeping is harvesting honey. the first 2 years i didnt get to extract honey. each year i get to extract makes it all worth while. #Beekeeping Blueprint
Good afternoon Jason I am a want to be bee keeper from MA. My wife & I will soon be retiring to SC. I will take a bee keepers course to give me a better look at the do’s & don't in the South. I am a cook by trade and have been using honey in my cooking for years. I look forward to creating more dishes from my girls hard work. Thank you for the things I have learned from you. #beekeepingblueprint.
Book looks like it will be a great tool to help any beekeeper make better choices and decisions. My worst moment in beekeeping has been getting busy and not checking hives and finding a hive dead and full of wax moth. Best moment is 8nspecting a healthy hive and being able to harvest our own honey. #beekeepingblueprint
I've had to deal with a laying worker hive a couple of times over the years. Nothing worked until I watched your video on laying worker hives. It works every time. It makes sense to do it your way. Thanks so much. #BeekeepingBlueprint
Congratulations Jason on your book. A lot of hard work obviously went into it. Worst moment - Dealing with "Spicy" bees" Best moment - That first (and every) honey harvest. God did a good thing with the bees. #BeekeepingBlueprint
What draws me to honeybees - I’ve always had a fascination with honeybees even as a youngster. However, it wasn’t till about 20 years ago when I purchased my first Italian package bees. As a disabled veteran they accomplished what the doctors or medicines couldn’t. If I thought of anything other than those bees - they lit me up. Slowly I learned how not to get lit up. So I tell everyone that honeybees saved my life. Cause they truly did. Worst experience - moving to civilization and having 100% bee loss for 3 years. Best experience - having a swarm move into one my hives yesterday or the day before. Funniest - watching me do a happy dance in the middle of the yard after confirming the swarm moved in. Thanks and Congrats on your book - can’t wait to read. #BeekeepingBlueprint
My best experience with my bees has to be from a few weeks ago. After a couple of years of losing swarm after swarm( because of being too high in trees to reach) I was coming home from church and received a text message and a picture of a swarm. I was heartbroken to lose another one. I got home and my husband told me it was reachable by a ladder. I'm a little bit squeamish when it comes to heights. But I climbed up that ladder and got those bees. Best day I've had in 2 years of beekeeping. I have been watching your videos since I started beekeeping. I appreciate all the great info. I have gone through the Kindle version of your book and it is fantastic. I have about 10 different beekeeping books and by far this one is packed full of information that I haven't seen in others. I am buying the book so I have a hard copy. Thanks so much Jason C. I pray your book has great success! #BeekeepingBlueprint
Jason, congratulations on the book! Be an awesome read I'm sure. I have a most recent catastrophe with Carpenter Ants. I did not open my hive for a couple weeks due to bad weather and started to notice the diminishing numbers leaving and returning. When the rains stopped I thought it would get busier and it didn't. Opened her up only to find a whole colony of Carpenter Ants moved in a decimated the hive. I found the queen on the bottom board beheaded and all of her force dead beside her. There had to be thousand ants inside with many eggs. May have been three weeks but that was the absolute worst experience I have had. Almost made me stop. Never. Please check your hives regularly and litigiously. #BeekeepingBlueprint
I’ve had lots of ups and downs during my journey bee keeping. But my best time was probably when I caught my first swarm I was all excited.# Beekeeping Blueprint
As a young girl I remember my grandfather having bees but I was not that interested then…oh how I wish I would have learned from him then! Now as a 26 year biology/zoology teacher my favorite thing to teach is the animals and especially the insects! I remember the first time I watched the waggle dance and I fell in love. I have wanted bees for a while but just haven’t taken the plunge. Just alto weeks ago my aunt found a colony in an old shed and I begged her to wait and let me try to get them. So they are successfully in the hive now but now I need help. Your book is exactly what I’m looking for! Thanks!
Ok worst experience is last year I combined a hive but did not use paper to separate them and they fought and killed the queen and a big mound of dead bee bodies at the front of the hive. Best experience this spring i raised a batch of queens using an incubator . On emergence day I got to watch a new queen emerge and walk up and down my arm and sit and rest and chill for awhile. #BeekeepingBlueprint
My worst experience was losing hives over the first couple winters… Best experience was finally learning how to over winter bees in New Hampshire!! Second best was seeing bees at first swarm trap! #beekeepingblueprint
Congratulations on your book, best experience was and still is simply just being a beekeeper, worst experience was my second year, went into winter with 4 colonies thinking that I had it all figured out. Then came spring and all 4 died, it was heart breaking. It was a learning experience, 6 years later i now keep on average between 10 to 15 with a few winter losses. #BeekeepingBlueprint
Jason. Looking forward to getting your book. Always good to learn more about the bees. One of my most recent experiences in beekeeping is collecting a huge swarm last week by cutting out of Bush #beekeepingblueprint
Congratulation on your lunch Jason. So far your book is great. Thanks for all your time. Best Beekeeping moment so far. Virgin Queen walking out of her cell into my hand. Worst Beekeeping moment so far. Moving a hive after dark and they lite me up. #BeekeepingBlueprint Good luck everyone. 🎉🎉
Best is finding 3 queens that i can use from a swarm I caught, but the worst was loosing all my hives in winter for many years. Sounds like a great book and cant wait to read thru it!! #BeekeepingBlueprint
Best experience was catching 3 swarms right next to each other. Worst experience was removing honey supers after father-in-law put the bee escape upside down and I hadn't felt the need to suit up just to pull honey supers. Took the lid off to be met with 2 supers crammed full of angry bees. Suffice to say they explained their displeasure to me....
First time I installed a package the queen cage fwas poorly hung by me so it fell to the floor and the bees didn’t keep it warm and the queen failed , all my fault live and learn. I love learning about the biology of these fascinating super organisms. #BeekeepingBlueprint
I've been wanting to get into beekeeping for a little while. Been trying to learn and gain good info. Your book looks like it would be a great tool! #Beekeeping Blueprint
Several years ago I had all 4 of my hives robbed out in the dearth and had to wait for the following year and set out traps to help recover #BeekeepingBlueprint
🐝Very cool book Jason 👍I'd have to say may worst experience beekeeping was and will always be getting stung 😂 and the best is just getting to enjoy watching the girls work. As far as interest I think bees gave always just been in my life almost subliminal in a way. #BeekeepingBlueprint and thanks for sharing friend
So far I am a new beekeeper. I'm almost 2 months in. Worst experience is getting stung in the face because I didn't put on my suit. Eye swollen to the point where i couldn't see out of it. #Beekepingblueprint.
What I have gone so far is good and helpful and give me good info ❤️ Worst was to loose all my bee's earlier spring from starving #beekeeping blueprint
My first year of beekeeping my bees died. The first one was dead my September and the second by November. That is when I realized that mite are a serious issue. #beekeeping blueprint

Made it through my first winter of keeping bees. I have so much to learn. I am hooked i walk up every night after work to see what the bees are doing. I did my first splits two weeks ago. # BeekeepingBlueprint
What draws me to beekeeping is how fascinating they are. Still learning so much. Just bought the paperback. #BeekeepingBlueprint
#BeekeepingBlueprint
I have read the book previously released electronically. It is a great beginners bee keeping book. A step by step per se. I plan on rereading it on its release.
Alright brother. We are locked and loaded. You have done your part in writing the book.
I’ve done my part by writing an honest review, let’s see how she flys. Cheers brother and congratulations.
Much appreciated
In my 5 years of Bee keeping I have had My highs and lows. Robbing and absconding is a bummer. Good grafts and emerging queens always a high point #abeekeepingBlueprint
My best beekeeping experience was catching my first swarm and seeing it thrive . #Beekeeping Blueprint
I joined a bee club in 2019 and started learning everything I could about honeybees. Good thing I did, because I ordered my first 2 hives in December 2019, and then the dreaded Big "C" happened and everything shut down. I was 100% all alone with my lovely new hives. Had I not learned what my basic steps were before getting those Nuc's I would have been a mess. I mean I was anyway but not as bad as it could have been had I not joined my local club! I can't wait to see your new book!
Best experience was meeting my bee keeping mentor. This is my first year and I joined a group on Facebook and asked for some help. Chuck reached out to me, we talked and he guided me step by step. When it was time to set up the hive, he gave me two swarms and help me put them in. #beekeeping blueprint.
I'm a new beekeeper this year and enjoy learning as much as I can. So far, bees are doing well. With two hives, the best thing so far is I've only been stung once. #BeekeepingBlueprint
The best memory was watching honey flow from my flow hive!!
Congratulations on the Book!!
#BeekeepingBlueprint
Thank you for all you do!! My worst experience with bee keeping was my first year, they was swarming around me, the noise and the bees in my face overwhelmed me and ran to the garage, trying to fig6out how to put the hive back together. I had to learn to trust my bee suit and over come my fears. Look past the bees flying in my face to focus on what o am doing on the hive and learned to remain calm. #BeekeepingBlueprint
My brother and I started watching videos & reading books about honey bees back in 2004. We wanted to have hives of our own, but unfortunately there is an ordinance that prohibits bee hives inside the city limits. We continued watching videos and reading books, while trying to get the city to grant us an exception. On April 14, 2018, my brother suffered a cardiac arrest that ended his life at 40... I was 39... He was my best friend, and I gave up on our beekeeping dream afterthat. It wasn't the same without him, and I didn't have much fight left after losing my best friend. Saturday at the Farmer's Market, I met a woman who has bees and invited me to her apiary! Talk about the best beekeeping experience! Can't wait to go!
#BeekeepingBlueprint
Sorry to hear about your brother. In my book you will learn, I lost my brother too and bees are what helped me get through the grief I was dealing with. In my case though I am the older one.
Have fun in the apiary!!
My worst experience was mowing too close to my meanest hive with my tractor and brush hog. They were all over me and chased me across 4 acres and stayed on me even when I got in my home. I bailed off the tractor and left it running and lost my glasses slapping them off my face. I’m in Texas and think that hive has some Africanized genetics. One of the guards will sometimes sting you when you get near them. That’s my oldest surviving hive. My best experience is rescuing bees that would otherwise be killed. All my hives are from rescues I do. #BeekeepingBlueprint
One of my favorite memories in beekeeping is the first time I made a split. I had used a swarm cell I found. I remember opening the hive up weeks later and seeing that big beautiful queen! I was so proud of that queen! #beekeepingblueprints
Beekeeping is super rewarding for me, especially because I mix it with mindfulness. I’ve found a bunch of ways to bring mindfulness into my beekeeping, making the whole experience even better. #BeekeepingBlueprint
Congrats on the book Jason. I bought the paperback. One of my two partners is my Grandson. I'll pass it on to him when I'm done reading through it. Thanks for taking the time to write this book and sharing your knowledge. Review complete.
By far my most enjoyable time beekeeping is queen rearing #BeekeepingBlueprint
16:03 love the story of how the book got its name.
Loving the book I wish I would have had it when I got my first hive. I went into it blind not knowing anything. I started with one hive. Best time was when I went out and collected a swarm and moved them into the hive I bought. Yes I didn't do anything right. I got stung up all the time. I didn't get honey from it and they didn't make it through winter. The worst time was when I realized it was my fault. I sold my bee stuff when I moved years ago and glad I did. That was over ten years ago. Been Watching you and some others now for years. Looking forward to trying it again. I'm retired now so I have the time and I'm about halfway through your book and learning more every day.
Glad your enjoying the book!
Congratulations on your book. I’ve watched many of your videos and incorporated several techniques.
My most “exciting” event in my beekeeping was about 8 years ago and about 8 years in my bee keeping journey. At that time I had 35 or 40 hives. I was mowing around them with a big zero turn mower and it zigged when I wanted it to zag and a row of 15 hives were all tossed on the ground. Never having had an issue with hostility while mowing I wasn’t wearing any protective gear. I can assure that a 25 HP Kawasaki powered mower will NOT out run 15 hives worth of pissed off bees. They ate me up.
Back to the house and pulled out my never used full suit and went back to reassemble the hives.
#Beekeeping Blueprint
my favorite part of beekeeping is harvesting honey. the first 2 years i didnt get to extract honey. each year i get to extract makes it all worth while.
#Beekeeping Blueprint
I got into beekeeping because I am truly amazed by these little insects. #beekeepingblueprint
Good afternoon Jason
I am a want to be bee keeper from MA.
My wife & I will soon be retiring to SC.
I will take a bee keepers course to give me a better look at the do’s & don't in the South.
I am a cook by trade and have been using honey in my cooking for years. I look forward to creating more dishes from my girls hard work.
Thank you for the things I have learned from you.
#beekeepingblueprint.
Book looks like it will be a great tool to help any beekeeper make better choices and decisions. My worst moment in beekeeping has been getting busy and not checking hives and finding a hive dead and full of wax moth. Best moment is 8nspecting a healthy hive and being able to harvest our own honey. #beekeepingblueprint
I've had to deal with a laying worker hive a couple of times over the years. Nothing worked until I watched your video on laying worker hives. It works every time. It makes sense to do it your way. Thanks so much. #BeekeepingBlueprint

Congratulations Jason on your book. A lot of hard work obviously went into it. Worst moment - Dealing with "Spicy" bees" Best moment - That first (and every) honey harvest. God did a good thing with the bees. #BeekeepingBlueprint
What draws me to honeybees - I’ve always had a fascination with honeybees even as a youngster. However, it wasn’t till about 20 years ago when I purchased my first Italian package bees. As a disabled veteran they accomplished what the doctors or medicines couldn’t. If I thought of anything other than those bees - they lit me up. Slowly I learned how not to get lit up. So I tell everyone that honeybees saved my life. Cause they truly did.
Worst experience - moving to civilization and having 100% bee loss for 3 years.
Best experience - having a swarm move into one my hives yesterday or the day before.
Funniest - watching me do a happy dance in the middle of the yard after confirming the swarm moved in.
Thanks and Congrats on your book - can’t wait to read.
#BeekeepingBlueprint
My best experience with my bees has to be from a few weeks ago. After a couple of years of losing swarm after swarm( because of being too high in trees to reach) I was coming home from church and received a text message and a picture of a swarm. I was heartbroken to lose another one. I got home and my husband told me it was reachable by a ladder. I'm a little bit squeamish when it comes to heights. But I climbed up that ladder and got those bees. Best day I've had in 2 years of beekeeping. I have been watching your videos since I started beekeeping. I appreciate all the great info. I have gone through the Kindle version of your book and it is fantastic. I have about 10 different beekeeping books and by far this one is packed full of information that I haven't seen in others. I am buying the book so I have a hard copy. Thanks so much Jason C. I pray your book has great success! #BeekeepingBlueprint
Had and have a great time keeping bees. Congratulations on your book. #Beekeeping Blueprint
First year keeper, my best experience so far was when my mentor helped me fix my queenless hive, he sold me a mated queen,# beekeepingblueprint
Jason, congratulations on the book! Be an awesome read I'm sure. I have a most recent catastrophe with Carpenter Ants. I did not open my hive for a couple weeks due to bad weather and started to notice the diminishing numbers leaving and returning. When the rains stopped I thought it would get busier and it didn't. Opened her up only to find a whole colony of Carpenter Ants moved in a decimated the hive. I found the queen on the bottom board beheaded and all of her force dead beside her. There had to be thousand ants inside with many eggs. May have been three weeks but that was the absolute worst experience I have had. Almost made me stop. Never. Please check your hives regularly and litigiously. #BeekeepingBlueprint
I’ve had lots of ups and downs during my journey bee keeping. But my best time was probably when I caught my first swarm I was all excited.# Beekeeping Blueprint
As a young girl I remember my grandfather having bees but I was not that interested then…oh how I wish I would have learned from him then! Now as a 26 year biology/zoology teacher my favorite thing to teach is the animals and especially the insects! I remember the first time I watched the waggle dance and I fell in love. I have wanted bees for a while but just haven’t taken the plunge. Just alto weeks ago my aunt found a colony in an old shed and I begged her to wait and let me try to get them. So they are successfully in the hive now but now I need help. Your book is exactly what I’m looking for! Thanks!
opening boxes of bees is like a box of chocolates you don't know what you're going to get.
#BeekeepingBlueprint
First year just added my 2nd brood box. Teton winters.
Loving the book 👍
#beekeepingblueprint
Ok worst experience is last year I combined a hive but did not use paper to separate them and they fought and killed the queen and a big mound of dead bee bodies at the front of the hive. Best experience this spring i raised a batch of queens using an incubator . On emergence day I got to watch a new queen emerge and walk up and down my arm and sit and rest and chill for awhile. #BeekeepingBlueprint
I am looking forward to this!
Best experience was my 1st successful split, worse was trying to attempt a AHB removal from an owl box. #Beekeeping Blueprint
My favorite moment in beekeeping is our first honey havest. Its so exciting and reearding. #BeekeepingBlueprint
My worst experience was losing hives over the first couple winters… Best experience was finally learning how to over winter bees in New Hampshire!! Second best was seeing bees at first swarm trap! #beekeepingblueprint
I got my copy of your book off of Amazon a few days ago. I'm very impressed with how well it is written! The illustrations are great, too! Thank you!
Awesome! Glad your enjoying it!!
Great book. Top moment was first successful split! #BeekeepingBlueprint
Congratulations on your book, best experience was and still is simply just being a beekeeper, worst experience was my second year, went into winter with 4 colonies thinking that I had it all figured out. Then came spring and all 4 died, it was heart breaking. It was a learning experience, 6 years later i now keep on average between 10 to 15 with a few winter losses. #BeekeepingBlueprint
I was given a colony, and the journey began. Now up to 9 colonies. #BeekeepingBlueprint
Jason. Looking forward to getting your book. Always good to learn more about the bees. One of my most recent experiences in beekeeping is collecting a huge swarm last week by cutting out of Bush
#beekeepingblueprint
Congratulation on your lunch Jason. So far your book is great. Thanks for all your time.
Best Beekeeping moment so far. Virgin Queen walking out of her cell into my hand. Worst Beekeeping moment so far. Moving a hive after dark and they lite me up.
#BeekeepingBlueprint
Good luck everyone. 🎉🎉
opening bee boxes is like a box of chocolates you don't know what you're going to get.
#beekeepingblueprint
Best is finding 3 queens that i can use from a swarm I caught, but the worst was loosing all my hives in winter for many years. Sounds like a great book and cant wait to read thru it!! #BeekeepingBlueprint
Congrats on the book!
Thanks! It's been a long road to get here.
Best experience was catching 3 swarms right next to each other. Worst experience was removing honey supers after father-in-law put the bee escape upside down and I hadn't felt the need to suit up just to pull honey supers. Took the lid off to be met with 2 supers crammed full of angry bees. Suffice to say they explained their displeasure to me....
Oh boy, I can see them being angry. Holy smokes!! Never heard of this happening until now but I can see how it would. Wow!!
Congrats on the book launch ! Hope it goes best seller in its category ! #BeekeepingBlueprint
First time I installed a package the queen cage fwas poorly hung by me so it fell to the floor and the bees didn’t keep it warm and the queen failed , all my fault live and learn. I love learning about the biology of these fascinating super organisms. #BeekeepingBlueprint
My worst moment was a robbing frenzy and a hive beetle slime out #BeekeepingBlueprint
I've been wanting to get into beekeeping for a little while. Been trying to learn and gain good info. Your book looks like it would be a great tool! #Beekeeping Blueprint
Several years ago I had all 4 of my hives robbed out in the dearth and had to wait for the following year and set out traps to help recover #BeekeepingBlueprint
great book. congratulations on it.hopefully it will sale well. alot of usefull information, helped to refresh things I forgot.
Thanks! Glad it was helpful!
I followed you queen rearing videos and was able to raise new queens. So excited. Thank you. #beekeepingblueprint
🐝Very cool book Jason 👍I'd have to say may worst experience beekeeping was and will always be getting stung 😂 and the best is just getting to enjoy watching the girls work. As far as interest I think bees gave always just been in my life almost subliminal in a way. #BeekeepingBlueprint and thanks for sharing friend
So far I am a new beekeeper. I'm almost 2 months in. Worst experience is getting stung in the face because I didn't put on my suit. Eye swollen to the point where i couldn't see out of it. #Beekepingblueprint.
Bought two nucs local to me and they absconded before winter. Bees were mean right out of the nuc. New bees today
Mean bees suck! Hopefully new bees are calm. Good luck!!
Great to see you doing well! Congratulations on the launch.
Thanks so much!
What I have gone so far is good and helpful and give me good info ❤️
Worst was to loose all my bee's earlier spring from starving #beekeeping blueprint
Wonderful! Glad it's helpful!
I have always been interested in beekeeping just now getting into it i love the way they work together
This book will be a huge help to you. Enjoy!
Can’t wait to read this! Thanks my dude! #beekeepingblueprint
Catching swarms #beekeeping blueprint
My best experience was getting stung on my thumb. I had a troublesome wort and with in a week or 2 it was gone. #beekeepingblueprint
Worst was a bad 2nd year with collapse of all hives (but I learned a lot). #BeekeepingBlueprint
No bees yet,but trying to learn,all I can before I start thank you,love your channel #blueprint
My first year of beekeeping my bees died. The first one was dead my September and the second by November. That is when I realized that mite are a serious issue. #beekeeping blueprint
