Ants can swim! (ok float or build living bridges). During floods they will create a living floating mat. The workers will even try to save eggs. I personally have experienced this in Sarasota Fl. Having to walk in knee deep flood waters during evacuation of siesta key/longboat key area.
Ok, this is good! I was talking with Dr. Leo about this recently and I'm so glad you are showcasing this hive/building/zen-center! :) Thank you for sharing, and yes, sleeping with the bees :) it's the way to go. All the best in beekeeping to you both!
Hey Fred, great to see you here. This idea is amazing. I have a story about feeling too relaxed whilst driving my new bees home!! Luckily no danger.But the smell of the air was just amazing and relaxing and I can easily see why this idea would work. Also for colder climates I am guessing it might help protect the hive too? I assume you could add some insulation to the bed area in winter.
Hey, big shout out to Doug and Stacy. I’m a fan of yours as well as Dr Leo. The good Dr won me over a few years ago and I now care for three Layens hives built from his plans. The bee bed is very interesting. I know that hanging out with my bees is my favorite activity these days. Btw.. Frederick Dunn is another of my YT favorites and he sent me to see this video.
I’m glad I found him before I started keeping bees because this is truly the best way to do it. I have two full hives of locally caught bees and two waiting for new swarms. I’m very happy with them and would never use those tall hives my grandpa had.
One safety improvement is for a solid cover over the slats to prevent turning one while resting. Could be like smashing the side of a hive setting them off and laying down on top you could get several stings before you could even move away.
My dad had bees when I was young. Langstroth hive the normal size. Full of honey I think 80 pounds. This is a game changer. Wish we knew about horizontal hives would have saved time and the back. Because as you know as the super is full you must put the new empty super beneath the full ones.
Such a great idea!! Whenever I open a bee hive and smell the warmth and sweetness, I wish I could go into the hive. It seems, my wish can be fullfilled.
This just made my day. 'you can choose if you want some stings or not!' But seriously, we have gone so far away from the earth and all of it's goodness and this seems a perfect 180! As a health consultant, this checks so many boxes...see what I did there? I'm amazed! I really enjoy Doug and Dr. Leo together :)
I just love this. I am a beekeeper in the UK. I have a little woodland and I would love to build something like this. I am not sure I am skilled enough with wood though. Fabulous video. I often watch Leo's videos. Brilliant! Thank you very much.
I have said since I was a child that I'm practically a Winnie the Pooh because I love honey and I consume it every day which is one of the reasons I love bees so much and I care for bees not only with my beautiful garden on my 7 acres but I am also going to start trying the horizontal hive I can't wait I am so excited! Thank you Dr Leo and Doug and Stacy!
We are beginning our homesteading journey, and we are very interested in bee keeping. We thank you so much for this information and the learning center!
If you're seriously going to be a beekeeper, ignore the misinformation on this channel and learn from legitimate beekeepers like university of Guelph, kamon Reynolds, or Bob Binney. All you'll do following these guys is kill hives and waste equipment. Not a single hive using their methods survives, and they propagate disease and predators. Their methods of catching local bees is a false premise because they are catching swarms from other managed beekeeper hives. The genetics are the same as all the other commercial and hobbit beekeepers. Anyone who understands the basics of drone mating and bee DNA and genetics laughs at the unscientific notions of sharashkin and antihygenic Stacey's. Sharashkin believes rubbing dead bees on his head prevents balding. It's all a scam. For the sake of protecting vulnerable bees, please don't follow their advice. They're making a living off of UA-cam and if people aren't actually using their methods, their nonsense won't be anything more than a harmless urban legend. If you actually try their methods, you'll kill bees a propagate dangerous sicknesses that could eventually wipe out all the bees Nationwide.
That is a interesting concept to sleep with the honey bees. That enclosure is beautiful. That's great that it will hold 4 hives worth of bees. The stream sound is nice also. I'm so glad you're saving a lot of acres of the Ozarks. I saw how the loggers are hurting the top soil by sliding the logs down the hills instead of sliding them along the grade so the rain doesn't wash the top soil away. I had never heard of sleeping with bees. I might like that. Thanks for this video Dr. Leo and Doug!
Heck yeah I want to lay in that Bee 🐝 Bed. It’s so cool. Thanks for sharing. I definitely want to add this to our land. Thanks again Dr. Leo and Doug for all of these wonderful beekeeping videos.
great work . There is a beekeeper from Saudi Arabia who has been working on a natural beekeeping system for 8 years. I have been working on his system for two years without treatment.
All my goodness! How wonderful it would be to experience that. My mother told me I had bee skin. I have never been stung by a bee. They're so fascinating
This is an AMAZING INVENTION 👏 😍!! When I was very sick I would watch the bees and I always felt much better. In the winter I would watch bee videos and that surprisingly also made me feel better. Bees are HEALING!
My family had a few of these only bigger with 2-3 beds, more like small cabins, in my childwood I slept in these things many summer nights; very smooth feeling, the bee air is the best, but I did use a small mattress, the bees feel if something is wrong with you, may it be you sick or have a disease and become very agitated if you lay directly on the wooden planks, so in the long run you will lose those hives due to their agitatated behavior. By the way I am from the eastern european block and we had a few thousand hives. Dan
Having the opportunity to live overseas in many areas - I can really appreciate Dr Leo’s experience! No disrespect-but we can learn so much from worldly folks who’ve called the US home! The old ways are the proven ways- and I’ve learned so much in the videos you’ve shared with us! God’s blessings to all of you!
Wow now that is amazing and I'm not one to use that word all the time like so many do these days. Dr. Leo is a nature purist genius! More natural health treatment as God gave and intended for us.
I was going to build some beehives this year, I'm glad to see this video. I will be building one of those instead. 👍 Looking up the Free plans now TY. 🇺🇸👍🐝
I would love to spend time in a bee bath. Feeling the vibrations and absorbing the aromas WOW!! I am definitely getting the plans for this! M y 9 and 11 yr old grandsons love the bees and how cool it would bee for them to grow up in this environment knowing they can go relax and de-stress with our bees.😉😇🤠👩🌾🧑🌾🌻💐🐝
Stunning. Ingenious. I've been stung hundreds of times. They're really not painful compared to hornets or wasps. I save bees that fall into water. They wont sting you if handled gently, and are quite grateful when you save them. No bees, no life.
Vary awesome indeed. I'm loving the great idea. That he came up with vary sweet indeed. Keep up the good work. Okay. Take it easy and have a great day too . Okay.
I had actually thought of this idea, but didn't realize it could be a therapy source. Glad to see you have made one. Love the Horizontal Bee frame. 👍🌻🐝🐝🌺🐞
This is to cool. Great idea, I stand and watch my bees come and go often to hang out and watch them no matter the weather outside genius! Caught my 3rd swarm this year 2023 and I experienced the amount of air flow bees are capable of producing was incredible. I would compare it to a box fan on low and this was a really small swarm. So if you can put that many bees in a horizontal hive and hang out would be amazing!! You have to post some testimonials.
I hope there is 2/3rds concrete in those footings for storm proof stability. Here in Australia we have kangaroos and other animals that become clumsy and knock into fences and hives too, knocking them over needing truck ratchet straps to keep the hive closed and from breaking open if toppled onto the ground. The wet feet is the best idea from crawling insects , put some oil or something so that the water doesn't dry out. And water in the creek is fantastic location in warm weather the bees can drink. Screw a shelf in for your own hydration and tool needs. Awesome progress towards all climate hives.
here is the most complete library of beekeeping on
social media ua-cam.com/video/9wIdMgoIWDM/v-deo.html
you need this info!
Doug this can be yr new hang out buddy.🤙
I want one 😍
Love it. Nature is awesome. Might help with Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, post covid issues, and stress level, all in one. Wow.
I wonder how it'll help with MS? Looking forward to your post!

Which hives would you recommend for 1st time keeper?
I told my husband I wanted a sauna, well, I think I know now what exactly I want. Im a hobby beekeeper and a dr leo follower❤
Looks so Amazing, Doug & Dr. Leo! Frederick Dunn sent us over to watch & learn... I'm glad he did!
I’m not sure if he is crazy…or a genius! Dr Leo changed the way I keep bees. Forever thankful to him.
I’m glad I found him before I started keeping bees because this is truly the best way to do it. I have two full hives of locally caught bees and two waiting for new swarms. I’m very happy with them and would never use those tall hives my grandpa had.
I love creative people like this! Being connected to nature is the ultimate luxury.
Fred dun sent me love this vdo
I am totally into the bee bed!! Coolest thing I've ever seen!!❤️🐝🛏️
One safety improvement is for a solid cover over the slats to prevent turning one while resting. Could be like smashing the side of a hive setting them off and laying down on top you could get several stings before you could even move away.
Can't wait to see the Bee & Bee in operation.
😆
Dang!!! Dr Leo is ballin!!! Bout 900 acres off of honey sales!! 💪🇺🇸💯

That is really cool. Dr. Leo you are amazing!
Thank you, Doug and Dr. Leo.
I buy all my honey from local bee keepers.
Dr. Leo is a national treasure!
Amazing. I love it. I can smell the florals and the beautiful cedar now!
I love Dr. Leo's visits! I soak up as much knowledge as I possibly can from his vast knowledge of bee keeping.
Okay, beehave Doug! We see your mischief bubbling to the surface!😉😄 Interesting concept Dr. Leo.
Thank you it's was breath taken loving the birds
I just love this. I am a beekeeper in the UK. I have a little woodland and I would love to build something like this. I am not sure I am skilled enough with wood though. Fabulous video. I often watch Leo's videos. Brilliant! Thank you very much.
Dr. Leo, my Grandma's farm was near Competition, Mo. Not far from you! She would love what you are doing. She loved the land and animals.
Wow!!! Soooooo awesome Dr. Leo!!!
Stacy will beat you in there Doug❤️🙏❤️ 🙏❤️

I would definitely love to get bee therapy like that
We are beginning our homesteading journey, and we are very interested in bee keeping. We thank you so much for this information and the learning center!
I’ve been a beekeeper for 7 years….LOVE it. My only regret is not doing it sooner.

BRAVO 🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊
Hi.... DOUG, thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🏡🎥👍👍👍
Doug, you say to leave a comment, but I am speechless! lol I have never heard of anything like this.
Never heard of such a thing but sure sounds relaxing.
Tooo cool! OK, it's on the future hive build list.. lol

great work . There is a beekeeper from Saudi Arabia who has been working on a natural beekeeping system for 8 years. I have been working on his system for two years without treatment.
This is new to me. I would totally do this. We just put together our horizontal hives and will be beekeeping in the next week!!!!
Thank you Leo seems already relaxing !!!!
PRETTY COOL, DR. LEO!!!!! YES, THE WORLD IS UP TIGHT, FOR SURE!!!!!! Do take care. Fl.
That sounds cool. Maybe one day I'll do that.
Great idea, Dr. Leo! I knew of the therapeutic sound of the buzzing, but you have taking it to an all new level. Love it! I want one.
harmony with beautiful gaia, 🤠🖐💜
I most certainly would sleep with the bees. I believe it would be wonderful and relaxin, as he said it would be.
A bee bed… Never before in all my days have I heard of anything such as this. What a wonderful reminder of how closed our little world can be.
Yes! I would totally do that! What a great innovative idea! Thanks for sharing!
what an amazing idea 💡
Hey Doug and Stacy! Congratulations on over 700,000 subscribers!! 😄🎉💖
No, THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for trying to preserve our Mother Nature 💗🙏🏻💗🙏🏻💗🙏🏻
All my goodness! How wonderful it would be to experience that. My mother told me I had bee skin. I have never been stung by a bee. They're so fascinating
DR LEO, WONDERFUL IDEA...LOVE IT, THANK YOU FOR THE SHOW AND IDEA. HUGS
This bee box bed sounds amazing. It’s making me want one 😃
Thank you so much for all the great information. So knowledgable.
This was such an unusual video. I had to hit the thumbs 👍
This is an AMAZING INVENTION 👏 😍!! When I was very sick I would watch the bees and I always felt much better. In the winter I would watch bee videos and that surprisingly also made me feel better. Bees are HEALING!

I would love a video of your daughter creating her beautiful art work!

Looking up the Free plans now TY. 🇺🇸👍🐝
I have a dream and reality all in one, being one with the bees. thank you for building this 😆
This is an amazing concept. I am starting my journey into keeping bees and I appreciate all your knowledge.

M y 9 and 11 yr old grandsons love the bees and how cool it would bee for them to grow up in this environment knowing they can go relax and de-stress with our bees.😉😇🤠👩🌾🧑🌾🌻💐🐝
I agree 1000 percent with you Dr. Leo,I love living out here in Mississippi in the country 🥰
Stunning. Ingenious. I've been stung hundreds of times. They're really not painful compared to hornets or wasps. I save bees that fall into water. They wont sting you if handled gently, and are quite grateful when you save them. No bees, no life.
I want to make this. My grandpa used to have bees and I am looking forward to making this one day. Thank you for this video!

Love the Horizontal Bee frame. 👍🌻🐝🐝🌺🐞
Wow love Dr. Leo’s insights & information about bees. Fascinating. Thanks 🙏🏻
Truly fascinating, Dr. Leo! just loving all of the information you bring Doug and Stacy, so enjoyable.
I need to get my husband on board to help me build one of these! I’d LOVE to do this. How cool!
Thank you so much!
Can't wait! This will be amazing
It's so cool! I would definitely hang out in there. Since he explained the bees have a private entrance :)
Amazing info. No end to new knowledge with Doug.
That is so exciting, I have goosebumps in the video ❣️❣️❣️
Can't wait to see Doug in that box lmao
June
YES I MIGHT DO IT TOO...FIRST I EVER HEARD OF THIS, WONDERFUL!
This is to cool. Great idea, I stand and watch my bees come and go often to hang out and watch them no matter the weather outside genius!
