Hi Stuart, thank you so much for all the videos you have made about beekeeping. They are so clear and show your knowledge and passion about beekeeping. As a new beekeeper the information you've provided is invaluable. I have watched a lot of your videos and some rewatched when I need to undergo some of the processes you teach about. I am certain that I will keep watching your videos as they are so useful.
Stewart, once again you have produced another quality video. I watch a number of different beekeeping videos. Yours excel in quality, content, composition, and editing. I brought up your videos at my clubs meeting so I hope this brings you more viewers. thanks again.
Hi Jim, Many thanks for your kind comments. I'm really looking forward to the start of the new season so I can get out of the office and show everyone some more practical beekeeping. Stewart
Thanks for another very informative video. I am in a geographical area in which the nearest bee hive is many kilometers away...So my drones...and queens from my hives (very friendly bees and collects lot of honey by the way)...will likely inbreed. Is there any thoughts around this and is there any science made on this topic?
Hi Fred, Great to hear from you again. Inbreeding is well know and the most obvious visible sign is spotty brood. From a science perspective inbreeding results in what is know as diploid drones and the workers eat the larvae early on resulting in spotty brood. I will add it to the list of videos to produce and also mention it in my queen rearing video in the getting started series. Stewart

Thank you for this series! Does a virgin queen always come back to its hive after mating?
