It seems everyone has been missing you as much as I have. Thank you for the vlog Alex... Now I know you fine, lovely video, hope to watch you again soon!! Don't leave us sooo long! Till next time keep doing what you do best...
I'm not a crier, but I felt brought to tears when you talked about people watching your videos for years and now enjoying your honey. This is the kind of purpose social media was meant to fulfil. To share learnings, to create community, and to support that interaction between the earth and people at a scale previously impossible. Thank you for being a positive contributor. ❤
Nothing better than to ignore youtube for a few months just to come back and do a marathon of your videos! I wish you a huge harvest next year! Can't wait to see the progress.
As a fellow beekeeper I really enjoy our videos! For filling the jars I put the bucket on a stand on the counter and put the scale under the spout. I put a jar on the scale, tare it and fill it up. This way I don´t have to hold the glass in the air and I can weigh it as I fill up the jar. Thanks for bringing us along an your bee adventure🐝
You have no idea how much I love your videos. I could literally watch your content for hours on end. Glad to see you back, please don't leave it another two long months!
Another selling suggestion would be 1oz blocks of beeswax. Archers use them for the string. They are used for lots of other purposes as well but thats the one I know because I use it myself.
@@theshadow2576 Cool! I did not know that about dreadlocks, makes sense. For furniture I use liquid wax for convenience. Not sure how it’s produced exactly. Come to think of it, there must be a solvent involved. I need to research how to use less processed wax. Thanks for your idea!
4:14 to be fair though, this was a big year for reorganization and the hives have faced some big changes. Im sure youve learned loads and i cant wait for more beekeeping!
Next time you make candles when you melt the wax cover the top of the pot with plastic wrap or cling wrap so the steam stays in the pot and doesnt fill your room it will also allow the water to boil quicker and will save you time. Just put the plastic wrap on the top of the pot of course going around the cylinder filled with wax. You could even cover the top of the wax that will help keep the heat inside the tube again saving you time waiting for everything heating up and melting the wax. Hope this gets to you love your videos!!!!!
I love how he is just an average dude doing some beekeeping and posting video's about it... I have been following this ever since the first bee's and it is just so relaxing and fun to watch.
You are easily one of my favorite UA-camrs. I love bees so much and your harvest is always so interesting since you aren’t an expert in any sense and you take challenges and obstacles and use them as learning objects
OMG you made my day posting another video!!!!! I was wondering when you were going to post next and I had a feeling it had something to do with those busy bees! Thank you so much for cheering us up with another BANGER!!!!
Nice work Alex, Great wax purchase. Premium products. Just don't grow too fast. When you do you will have issues and when it gets to be too much work you lose colonies. I speak from experience. Lost over half my colonies this year because I couldn't keep up. Of course, in my case, there's the very old man factor. But, I think it can happen to anyone.
Because of Alex I bought my first hive this year in May, I have always wanted to keep bees but never got round to it. Well now I have 2 hives and planning for a 3rd, maybe 4th next year. I cannot recommend it enough, its been a tough learning curve but I have gotten through it with a small harvest that I wasnt expecting at all for the first year, which I have given away to friends, family and colleagues. Thank you Alex for giving me the oompf to go out and do it finally.
I started watching your videos a year ago after starting beekeeping with a tiny queen-less swarm that I rescued from the concrete water meter box in front of my house. They started as only 3 frames of bees but have now grown into 20 frames! I thank you SO MUCH for your videos and sharing all that you’ve learned with your bees! I’ve just completed my honey harvest for this first year and my bees produced an astonishing 131 lbs of honey! Many thanks from Southern California! 😊
Nice to see you back Alex, was starting to get a bit worried, it’s been a while since your last video. Hope all is ok for you. Keep well and thanks for the great content.
How strange, only earlier today I went to Alex’s channel to check when his last upload was and was a bit concerned to see two months ago. I was a bit worried that something might have happened. Pleased to see this appear a matter of a few hours later. I very much enjoy the beekeeping videos.
Thanks for a new amazing video. I learn so much from you everything. My husband is afraid of bees, if he wasn't i would definitely keep bees because of you by now
I’ve re watched ALL of your beekeeping videos in anticipation of another one and here it is! Well done it’s been a tough year for the bees and their keepers. You’ve inspired me to become a beekeeper and I’ve enrolled on a local beekeeping course early next year! Thanks Alex, more beekeepers videos please 🙂
fantastic Alex, this is my first year with bees and i have bred 4 queens and harvested 270 8oz jars from one hive way more than i expected for my first season. Keep up the good work mate all your vids are brilliant not just about bees cant wait for the next instalment
Now way he uploaded no one know how long I have been watching the same videos for the past month this made my day and the bee videos gave me so much inspiration I’m keeping my own now thank you love form aus ❤
This was so nice to watch. My late father was a beekeeper and i can remember as a child helping him do this very process. I can still remember the smell of the hunny and the excitement and pride which my dad olways had as jar after jar of golden hunny was filtered and filled. As a child i probably got in the way and hindered the process but my dad olways included me and said if it wasn't for my expertise in turning the hunny spinner the process was doomed .😂 I can remember feeling so included and glad to help. This brought back so many nice memories of my dad thanks for that Alex 👍
Boiling water uses a lot of energy while the temperature doesn't pass 100C. If you keep the temperature just below 100C it won't really boil, use a LOT less energy and won't steam up your room as much, but the heat transfer to the wax will be almost identical. Really love following your honey adventures!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! Alex is back!!!!!!! Missed you so hard! Yippiiiii! Hope you are feeling ok! (and if not, that is not a problem at all). I have nothing with bees, I have nothing with fishing, and yet I love your content! PS: did you grow chest hair? No way! 😛 (kidding)
I remember when you first started beekeeping, I'm so glad you're still at it! I moved to a different state 4 years ago so I've stopped beekeeping until I can find a place for the hives. Before that I did it for several years and it's a rewarding experience.
I’m have always run away from bees BUT you have educated me so much, I only stared watching you about 6 weeks ago and have watched every signal one of your videos, finding my self looking for other vlogs similar but nothing quite hits like yours, I have been waiting for this years honey harvest and when I seen it tonight I was over the moon🎉 please keep them coming and thank you for your educational amazing vlogs 😁
Absolutely enjoyed your video. As beekeeper in Nova Scotia Canada 🍁 I can throughly relate to your trails and joys in beekeeping, 🐝 honey 🍯 extracting and candle making 🕯️Keep up the wonderful work.
Beautiful to see such handwork at work. I know no other youtuber (or person at that fact) that would invest the time, effort, and love you put into your honey and candles. I watched this channel begin, grow, and flourish. I am so proud of you!
Alex...I am just so proud of you. And the fact that you actually do the work is incredible. Great job!! I am sorry i didn't get to purchase any honey. Enjoy your well earned winter!!!!
Congratulations on your beekeeping efforts Alex, you should be very proud of yourself. I'd love to buy your honey but I live in Australia but watching you videos is still good enough for me. I would love for anyone who ordered your honey to post their experience trying your honey.
love the candels. if you get silicon molds you can make beehive rolled candels make sheets of beehives and roll them up whit a wick. supper cool and easy
Sat here casually scrolling UA-cam and an Alex bee keeping video appears #excited. Another great upload. Love the candle and honey gift sets. Looking forward to more bee keeping adventures.
Hey Alex, just want to say thanks for inspiring me to finally bite the bullet, and sign up for a beekeeping course. I've been interested for a while now, and your videos were the last push. The first lesson should start tomorrow, and once I'm done I hope to move back to the UK, and experience the rural life, instead of grinding away in London.
Hey, I'm pretty sure you delivered something to me whilst I was at my mams. It didn't click until you'd already left. Was glad to still see you about and wondered why I hadn't seen you on your channel much lately. Was gonna ask you how the bees were, but I guess now I don't have to 😊 glad you're back ❤
Thank you Alex, you inspired me to get bees! I got 4 hives my second year. Today after not checking in for 2 weeks I found them all dead. I don’t know what happened but your video made me happier. Thank you.
A really solid harvest this year, you should be really proud of your bees 🐝It was so cool to see the candle dipping process as well as your packing process of your product. Great video!
Great to see you back Alex…just started my beekeeping journey this May…a few set backs…no honey but really looking forward to next year…many thanks for giving me the bug!!!😅
Yay I seen it auto playing and I’m so glad it’s a new video. Alex your videos have made it to Oregon in the USA and you’re the only beekeeper I am learning from to start my journey.
Please, keep the videos coming. I now have 3 hives all because I watched your videos... I'm learning as I go, but your videos are a great learning tool.
Didn't manage to watch the video earlier but so excited to have finally seen it. I've said it before but I'll say it again, your videos are incredibly inspiring, although my interest has been huge before, you're the reason my dad and I have bees. It's been 2 years since we started. Just like you, we had ups and downs, were really devastated sometimes but we kept going. This year, we harvested our honey for the first time, although the year was way to wet this year in Germany. In the spring we had around 13kg and in the Summer about 20kg. It's incredible how much work these little bees put into the honey. The most devastating news for me was, that I've become really allergic to bees over the past year. My body really showed me an imaginary middle finger. But I've kept on going (luckily although my bloodwork shows high risk, I only have very very strong local reactions and with medical help I can stay a beekeeper). Seeing us growing alongside of you is one of the things that really keeps me up of my beekeeping business lol. We live in different countries, you know pretty much nothing about me and I only the things you post online but these videos really make me feel connected to the hobby, to beekeeping and in a appropriate, not weird stalker way to you. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. Maybe, one day I'll be able to visit the UK, then I'll make sure I can get a glass of our honey to you. Take care.
cool video, I love to watch the honey and flower updates :) One tip: 10:39 for sterilisation you could fill the jars with hot boiling water from a water boiler, wait 10min, empty the jars and then put them upside down on a paper towel to let them dry (the jars will be dry soon because of their heat). For the filling of the jars you could put them on the scale and the honey pot on a higher spot so you dont have to weight the jars for a second time :)
Cant believe i missed the honey drop 😪 hopefully ill be able to get some of the next one. Has been great to see you posting again look forward to the next one as always 😀
I love honey. It's just viscous, velvety, golden goodness. Bummer you lost more than half the harvest but at least the wild bees could put it to good use I hope :D
I was waiting for this
And who was with me
I was
i needed this so bad couldnt wait
Me
Best channel, it's just underrated 😢
Me!!
It seems everyone has been missing you as much as I have. Thank you for the vlog Alex... Now I know you fine, lovely video, hope to watch you again soon!! Don't leave us sooo long! Till next time keep doing what you do best...
thanks!
@@k1b854 the honey is sold out, he posted it on his instagram
Big time
I'm not a crier, but I felt brought to tears when you talked about people watching your videos for years and now enjoying your honey. This is the kind of purpose social media was meant to fulfil. To share learnings, to create community, and to support that interaction between the earth and people at a scale previously impossible. Thank you for being a positive contributor. ❤
Totally agree… Alex channel and videos are the best.. well done Alex, keep being you my friend 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
There's just something about your videos that really feels relaxing and wonderful to watch. I enjoy each and every one of your bee videos!
thanks, I'm glad!
That robbing is sad, but not a big deal. The other hives stole it, so it just got moved! :)
haha, true!
Nothing better than to ignore youtube for a few months just to come back and do a marathon of your videos! I wish you a huge harvest next year! Can't wait to see the progress.
Such a nice thing to say❤
Bro honestly I watched your videos and now have 50 pounds of honey in my kitchen. Almost 2 years in bud thanks for the videos.
As a fellow beekeeper I really enjoy our videos! For filling the jars I put the bucket on a stand on the counter and put the scale under the spout. I put a jar on the scale, tare it and fill it up.

thank you!
I forgive you for taking so long to upload, because the loss of that 30 kg of honey devastated me, I can only imagine what it did to you. 😅
yeah i was pretty gutted about loosing all the honey!
I must and will rewatch several times...
Another selling suggestion would be 1oz blocks of beeswax. Archers use them for the string. They are used for lots of other purposes as well but thats the one I know because I use it myself.
Good idea. Used by pro seamstresses and people working with leather like myself
@@CineMiamParis also heard it is used for dreadlocks. And obviously furniture polish
@@theshadow2576 Cool! I did not know that about dreadlocks, makes sense. For furniture I use liquid wax for convenience. Not sure how it’s produced exactly. Come to think of it, there must be a solvent involved. I need to research how to use less processed wax. Thanks for your idea!
@@CineMiamParis I think it's turps that is mixed to help with the polish but don't quote me on that.
Used by off loom bead weavers to condition thread before use.
"Just Alex uploaded: The 2024 honey-"
Nuh uh. The first 3 words were enough to make my day.
4:14 to be fair though, this was a big year for reorganization and the hives have faced some big changes. Im sure youve learned loads and i cant wait for more beekeeping!
Hi Alex, i am from italy, i have 5 hives, and this year my bees make 42kg of honey. good job Alex, see you in the next season.
Nice job!
You did not mess up. You learned as you do on all your adventures. Looking forward to your next video.
@Alex THIS
Love the way you take setbacks in your stride and use them as learning curves 😊
Welcome back Alex now I can peacefully continue working to your videos. Keep it up!! We need you.
Next time you make candles when you melt the wax cover the top of the pot with plastic wrap or cling wrap so the steam stays in the pot and doesnt fill your room it will also allow the water to boil quicker and will save you time.

It’s this time of year, the honey harvest!
You are easily one of my favorite UA-camrs. I love bees so much and your harvest is always so interesting since you aren’t an expert in any sense and you take challenges and obstacles and use them as learning objects
This has to be one of my favorite video's of the year...................
growing pains, and you still made a beautiful produc that inmediatly sold out, next year will be crazy mark my words
You're such a calm and peaceful presence. Your friends and loved ones are a lucky lot.
My son made some candles in school with beeswax sheets. They look like honeycombs and he rolled them up. Also a pretty neat way making candles.
OMG you made my day posting another video!!!!! I was wondering when you were going to post next and I had a feeling it had something to do with those busy bees! Thank you so much for cheering us up with another BANGER!!!!

You are a true inspiration. I just started as a backyard chicken keeper but because of you I'm also considering beekeeping and making honey mead.
ah, I want to keep chickens one day, hope you manage to get some bees!

Enjoyed your video, harvested 8 frames from my 2 hives in first year. 25 kilograms of excellent fall honey. Langton Ontario Canada
nice!
One of the reasons why I wish I lived overseas. You did such a great job Alex!
You inspire me with every your video! I'm so happy to finally see the result of one more year of your labour!

Any more more mushroom videos? I dont like mushrooms but enjoy watching you getting out and about and finding fungi!
Yeah, I want to head out to Canada again a film another video with the guys there! Maybe next year.

I was wondering where you went Alex, good to see another video
Ive been waiting for months for this. I get to see this the minute it was uploaded. I love the internet sometimes 😊
Well done on another productive and inspiring year.
Congratulations on your beekeeping efforts Alex, you should be very proud of yourself. I'd love to buy your honey but I live in Australia but watching you videos is still good enough for me. I would love for anyone who ordered your honey to post their experience trying your honey.
Endlessly enterprising and entertaining.
love the candels. if you get silicon molds you can make beehive rolled candels make sheets of beehives and roll them up whit a wick. supper cool and easy
Sat here casually scrolling UA-cam and an Alex bee keeping video appears #excited. Another great upload. Love the candle and honey gift sets. Looking forward to more bee keeping adventures.
I've found your's channel 1 week ago, and I watched every video about beekeeping made by you. I was really waiting for this one.
Hey Alex, just want to say thanks for inspiring me to finally bite the bullet, and sign up for a beekeeping course. I've been interested for a while now, and your videos were the last push.
The first lesson should start tomorrow, and once I'm done I hope to move back to the UK, and experience the rural life, instead of grinding away in London.
best of luck with it all!
Top job! The harvest was a success! Every year is a learning experience!
Keep up the good work with the videos!
Great harvest, and super cool products.
Wishing you and your bees the best for next season 👍

Yay I seen it auto playing and I’m so glad it’s a new video.
Alex your videos have made it to Oregon in the USA and you’re the only beekeeper I am learning from to start my journey.
glad i can help!
I use to put a hive onto the sweet clover field, OMGosh that honey was totally amazing!
Was waiting for this video since last 2 months. Checked your channel frequently to make sure i didnt miss it.
Another year of following your new journey! Can wait for the next year
ooh man finally, cant wait to see how much you harvest
Hi Alex love your videos! You should try get a bee shaped mould for your candles that would be fitting
just yesterday I was thinking that you should have another honey harvest video out soon, it's lovely to see you again!
Please, keep the videos coming. I now have 3 hives all because I watched your videos... I'm learning as I go, but your videos are a great learning tool.

cool video, I love to watch the honey and flower updates :)

For the filling of the jars you could put them on the scale and the honey pot on a higher spot so you dont have to weight the jars for a second time :)
