Had to add another comment but I just love how everyone in the family helps out with meals and chores. Very wholesome to see. Love the lifestyle yall live
Hi Guys, a friendly cooking tip. whenever I have fresh citrus I always grate the rind (only the outermost part none of the pith) and combine it with an equal amount of sugar and then off to the freezer. this will last indefinately. I do this will ALL citrus Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime, Orange, Mandarin, Tangerine, etc. I'm well trained to zest my citrus before my ravenous nephews come to visit Love the show All the Best Jim Oaxaca Mexico
Thank you so much! What a great tip.
Great tip 😊
Oh my goodness...I can't believe you are already getting packed up and going to the cabin!! I'm sure the boys are excited to get summer started and Congratulations to each one for another successful year!! 🎉🏅👋Thank-you to you and Mark for explaining Apiculture-the whole process is fascinating!! 🐝🙂
Summer in Alaska is non stop!
Miss Luna watching Mark make the halibut perched on the table behind was so adorable 😊
Welcome home both.
We have had 3 hives swarming this year already. We purchased new queens to replace the ones that wanted to move home. Actually our friend who lives up the street and also keeps bees had them swarm to his garden. He gathered them up and brought them back 😂 so far they have stayed and the hive is looking healthy and industrious.
We have an abundance of wildflowers and blossoms in our area so the bees don’t need to stray to far from home. What a beautiful blue on those eggs. I am so looking forward to the raspberries coming- I love them. We had cropped lots of strawberries already and the were sunshine warm and sweet and juicy what else could you ever want- maybe some Cornish clotted cream 😋. Have a good day
You’re a busy beekeeper! Thank you so much for watching.
You’re a busy beekeeper! Thank you so much for watching.
I love how loving, helpful and supportive your whole family is to one another. I hope you all have a safe and fun filled summer, God Bless.
Thank you so much, we do our best to work together and be kind.
Your segment on the bees was fascinating! So interesting and fun to learn more about them!
Glad you enjoyed it, I find them fascinating and we have enjoyed doing them again this year.
You and Mark make awesome videos. What a great informative channel!!
Awesome video! Both the salmon and the halibut looked amazing! I love the idea of beekeeping. We are getting so excited for our upcoming trip to Alaska!
First time I have seen more of your husband yes your boys are getting so tall. You are such an amazing cook really enjoy your channel.
The boys are growing so fast!! Being away for a week really makes it feel like they grew up.
Omg, at 22:40 when Mark starts cutting the halibut.... the lurking look on Luna's face in the background! LOL Priceless. I love it.
Yes, she was keeping a close eye wasn’t she!!
Busy family with busy bees👍
You got that right!
@@ThisAlaskaLife Happy Father’s Day to Mark👍
Oh my. I’m not a follower of UA-camrs. But you have made me one. Love how you live and how you and your husband care of your home and your kids. Love love it.
Cheers for the A-Z Off Bee Keeping .
But try a bread poltis to draw out the spikes
Hot water on old bread
As it dry`s it draws out the spikes
Some time`s the old ways are the best ways
Love watching miss luna get her moments in the spotlight 😊
Gotta give her the spotlight she deserves!
How do harvest the honey
I have watched lots of vids about Bees on YT and Mark is great at explaining in a way I can understand. Loving the Bee updates 🐝
Glad you enjoyed the bees, it has been fun to learn about them from Mark!
Terrific video of beehandling. Also, we also wanted to thank you for the video of your recent Alaskan cruise...fantastic. Learned so much on how to tour and "do a cruise"! You and Mark made it look so fun & easy! Thanks for sharing y'all!😊
Great tip Lauren on melting butter , I’m going to implement that one ! I always splatter my microwave 😆
It’s a good one. Helps me not make such a big mess.
Wow, you guys are busy, busy, busy. Love how you all work as a team. Have fun at the cabin !
Always something to do! Thanks for stopping by
It all looks so different now the snow has gone. Beautiful trees. ❤welcome home Loren.
Yes! Love all the green.
It's fascinating to me to learn about the life cycle of bees....the fact that they're born & know their job automatically is just really cool. Thank you!
They are such amazing creatures! 🐝
When I lived in Massachusetts I had two hives! They belonged to friends and they would give me honey! It was so good!
Can’t wait to see your cabin videos!! Your children are so amazing!
Cabin video coming soon! Thanks for watching.
Good morning from Kentucky and welcome home. We are big cruisers we love it and we are doing our 2nd Alaska cruise in May of 2024. Have a Blessed Day !
That is awesome! Thank you so much for watching.
My anxiety and interest were at a high level with the bees. Very interesting. Hope you had a good time at the cabin. Have a great weekend!!
Sorry it causes you anxiety. If it helps, it can be extremely calming to be among all the buzzing. I find it calming and the bee sense that.
Hello the bee hive it something interest to see thanks for showing me.Take care enjoy the summer with your family praying for all hi Luna.
Love it when you all go to the cabin!, can't waitx🇬🇧❤🇬🇧
Us too!
Your boys are such good eaters , and the salmon bowls look delish 😋
I’m grateful they eat so well.
If you feed them good food from the start they get used to it
Luna missed you. Glad you had a great cruise. Now have a fantastic summer. ☀️🌺🌳🦋
You too!!
Looks like you are starting to plate for your family like the cruise ship plated for you and Mark.😊
Lol!
It's been almost a month since Super typhoon Mawar devastated our island but we finally have power, water and internet access so I will try to catch up on the videos I missed. Im so excited to see the videos I missed. Everyone looks great and Luna is still as curious as ever. Hafa adai and love from the island of Guam 🌴❤🌴
Sorry to hear that. I know you’ve been struggling since the storm. I hope things are back up and running smoothly soon!
It seems like all the Boys grew tons since we saw them last. Even Luna. I loved the whole vlog. Thanks for taking us along. First Anniversary Solo this week. Gearing up for that. But...seeing you All reminded me, there is always an Adventure around the corner
Hello sweet friend! Happy Anniversary, you’re amazing and strong. Thanks for spending time with us and allowing us into your life.
I grew up with raspberry garden. So good!
We love the raspberries!!
Nice video. Thanks for the bee keeping course.
Good Afternoon Hamm Family ❤️
It's a lazy summer day here. Periods of sun through the cloudy haze. Rain is headed our way... again. 86°F... though the humidity isn't too bad. I miss cooler temps. I was not made for hot summer days 🥵
I'm going to try to catch up on a few of your videos now that a lazy day has made it's way onto my "to do" list... here we go:
Yummy fudge. When we travel we always look for local sweet shops for fudge, taffy, cookies, chocolates and other goodies and confections 🍫
It's bittersweet when winter gives way to spring and summer. Everything is greener and blooming, but the snow and cool temps are gone 🥺
We don't have a Skylight Frame, but we do have a similar one. We love it, especially when Family and Friends are so far away. It's another way to stay in touch. The calendar option sounds interesting 🖼️
I cherish the notes and drawings Bry did for me when he was little. I have many of them tucked away in a keepsake tote 🥰
Looking good in your bee suits. It's so interesting to watch and listen to you and Mark talking about the bees and the work involved in caring for them. Thank you for explaining how to identify the queen... I was wondering. The bees here are busy collecting pollen and nectar from all the blooms in the neighborhood. So far, Maggie hasn't eaten one 🐝
What a beautiful nest of blue Robin's eggs. We have all sorts of birds nesting, feeding and singing all around us: Robins, Cardinals, Wrens, Bluejays, Finch, Swallows, Sparrows, etc. We have a Swallow mom that loves to make her nest atop our propane tank. It's in the shade and has a sunken top that hides it away. We have lots of birds of prey and scavengers too: Eagles, Hawks, Owls and Herons; not to mention the flock of Blackbirds and Turkey Vultures. When the Blackbirds land in our yard to feed or rest, it looks like a trailer for Hitchcock's movie "The Birds" 🐦⬛
I didn't realize the work involved in growing and tending to raspberries. Remove the old to make room for the new. Nice job 👩🏼🌾
Love seeing the boys outside helping out with funtime breaks in-between 🚴🏻
Everett is so cute helping out in the kitchen. I admire his "one for you, two for me" attitude. At least he's eating his veggies 🥦
Mark in the kitchen is also a nice sight. Halibut yum. Marinated in pickle juice... hmmm 🤔
I love how Mark was explaining how to bread the halibut and Weston is like, "I got it Dad". Too funny 😂
We love the Chick-fil-A Original and Polynesian Sauces. Always have a stash. I'll have to try making it. I'll also have to check the "Spero" (?) cookbook out. Hopefully, they have a lot of Kosher fish recipes - fins and scales 🐟
That True Lemon, and the Lime, are yummy. I use both in cooking/baking or to make lemon water or ade 🍋
So heartwarming to see everyone sitting down for a Family dinner, especially when Grandma and Grandpa are there too ❤️
Hi Miss Luna. I've missed seeing your beautiful face. Give her some head scratches for me 😺
Bry, my son, loves your Banana Bread/Cake recipe. It was definitely a hit 🍌
Not sure how I feel about the whole Midnight Sun fiasco. I love nighttime, the moon, the stars. My internal clock would go into crisis-mode. Made me think about when I was growing up and the curfew was when the street or porch lights came on: "Bye Mom and Dad. I'll see you at midnight... maybe" 🤷🏼♀️
Hi Grandpa and Miss Luna 🤗
I love Bachan's Original Japanese BBQ Sauce. Made some killer Chicken, Veggie and Kimchi Fried Rice the other night using it. Delicious. Have you tried the other flavors? I'll have to try the Salmon Bowls. Looks yummy. The seaweed rice topper is called Furikake. If you want a good drizzle of Kewpie mayo: remove lid, punch three holes into the plastic safety cover, then drizzle over food. They also make condiment bottle with the tri-tip. Not necessary, but fun 🍚
Kids grow up way too fast. Cherish every minute. Hunter is definitely your son. The older he gets, the more I see you in his face: the handsome version of your beauty 😍
I love rice krispie treats, but finding good kosher marshmallows is hard, so I have to make homemade. Delicious 😋
There is never enough time to prepare, pack and load up for a trip... the bigger the trip, the less time you seem to have. Definitely make sure Miss Luna is topped off. And, getting off late is better than not going at all. Can't wait to see the cabin video 🏕️
Have a great weekend. Yah's Blessings ❤️
It was good seeing you and your family today thank you for sharing and I’m glad y’all had a wonderful time together on your Cruise ❤❤ and I can’t wait for your next adventure video 😂😂❤❤❤❤
Onto the next adventure!!
I'm getting ready to head back to Alaska tomorrow after having spent a month in Texas; as much as I enjoyed my time here, I think I'm ready to get back to cooler temps! Ty for your hospitality, Texas!
Good morning and happy Friday
Morning Tameka!
Wow that all sounds so great with beekeeping and growing raspberries very nice. Lots of work I see but I would love to do these things if I had land
Love your channel! Such a learning experience. Precious boys and of course Luna!
Thank you so much!
What a blessing to harvest your own food. Have a great summer!
Yes, love anything we can harvest.
Every thing ready for summer.Bees doing great.
Good night Lauren and Mark and family and thank you for sharing your beautiful day from Tunkhannock Pennsylvania
I'm absolutely thrilled you are back !!! (from Toronto)
Thank you so much ☺️
Hi Lauren nice to see you and Mark back, I loved the school work letters your children wrote about you. Om 48 years old and my mum still has the Christmas card I wrote to them in kindergarten that said.
To mummmy and babby merry Christmas.
In Australia we do spell (mom) mum. But it was daddy spelt wrong, the memories live on my granddaughters 4 and 6 give me cards and I put them in a photo album. Love your bees in deathly allergic so no bees for me love your channel. All the way from Australia.
Thanks for sharing!! Have a wonderful day!
Everett is getting so big!!!

Grandma and grandpa.

Coming soon!
LAUREN...ADÓPTAME ❗❗❗jajajajaja😊😊😊❤❤❤
safe travels
Question about the bees. For several years we’ve been told that the bee population has declined quite a bit. Why are bee’s allowed to even be shipped to Alaska where they most likely won’t survive the winter? It’s not like honey can’t be shipped to Alaska. Thanks for helping me understand
I don’t have an answer for you. That is not my area of expertise.
I asked Mark your question and he enlightened me. These bees are part of a business of cultivating and selling bees. If there weren’t people like us buying them, they wouldn’t exist at all. We are not taking bees out of the wild and killing them off. Hope that makes sense. Beehives all over the world die out, that is not exclusive to Alaska and many people are figuring out how to successfully winter them over and sharing all their insights.
@@ThisAlaskaLife thank you so much for taking the time to consult Mark. I never thought about someone breeding bees as a business. My dad had a hive when I was little so I grew up learning and interacting with them. I only remember my dad wearing the headgear but other than that we didn’t have any other protection. Surprisingly I never was stung and I use to hold them.
Happy family xx
Thank you 😊
Just started watching your channel with your cruise, we are going next month, I love that your boys are learning to fix meals and that they spend a lot of time outdoors. Their little mountain bike course it's awesome, reminds me of the things we did as kids. They are making great memories and learning problem solving without even knowing it. I wish I had some of your freezer stock. We do have whitetail venison and did have pronghorn. Probably time to plan another western hunting trip.
You are going to love the cruise! Thanks for sticking around for our regular Alaska life! We are grateful for a stocked freezer, it sure takes a lot of work to keep it that way, but it’s satisfying work!! Welcome!!
Think Luna really missed y’all !! Your boys are such a great help!! Love your family !! 😀😀😀😀😀😀
I have a question how long does a Queen live? Lots of interesting facts!! I never knew a Queen has a red dot. ❤️Thank you
Edit: thank you the Queen info!! I just love the beautiful life you 2 have created ❤️.
Thank you so much for spending time with us, glad you got your answer.
Hi Lauren, looking forward to seeing your shopping video, did you take the Sample King 👑 with you? 🇬🇧
