Do I collect bees? *NO* Do I have any interest in trying to collect them? *NO* Do I care for them at all? *NO* Did I watch this 16 minute informational video about bees and enjoy it? *YES* 😂
I am a huge fan of both this channel and your other channel. I’m not a beekeeper, nor do I think I ever will be, but I enjoy watching you work your bee magic! I think beekeepers are a gift to the world. Keep up the awesome work. A thankful fan from California!
I do not know why the beekeeper supply store in my town does not sell items for a beekeeper. They only have a few smokers, queen clip grabbers are not stocked at all, they have no swarm commander or lemongrass oil for someone wanting to try for swarms... but if I wanted to purchase a ceramic skep honey jar and a small jar of honey to put it in, to give my aunt Tilly, they would gladly sell these items. I can also buy over priced deep supers, medium frames and wax foundation. In the '80s I made my own wood items out of scrap stuff from construction sites that would be burned or hauled away. Times have changed for the worse.
Nice Video David, i;ve never seen that conraption before. It's a lot of work, but for the beginner it sure seems like a great handy device to getting the queen in position without hurting her wings or legs. I personally advise practicing on drones to get used to do it by hand.
Great video!!! I want one of those piles!!! Just a suggestion... have your logo big and on store wall or desk front. Great job on Tshirts!!! I want the peach in size small!!!
I just received a caged mated queen I ordered online. I did not realize it would be "caged" and there were no instructions. I opened the one side of the cage and placed in the hive, and was curious should I have let them bore through the cage/candy, or will she be ok?
Is that pipe good for queens that have fat tail? The queens that I have bought from you are smaller than after they have been in the hive for a while. Especially queens that have overwintered and are going into spring with a strong hive
Evie DeChant i don’t think he really does honey. Mostly queens and nucs? I’ll sell you macadamian nut honey by the gallon if he doesn’t sell honey. You pay the shipping from hawaii. Lol
Evie DeChant wonder how much the shipping would be for 5 gals? Lol. Probably not to bad honestly. Also what do you do with all that honey? I sell my 5gal buckets for $285 b4 shipping lol
Thanks for demoing the queen bee marker tool, great to know "how to" for when I get my bees this spring. I'd like to order the baseball shirt in a large, thanks! P.S. Can't get your email address from your shop link? I live in Canada, are we not able to shop from here?
Very Interesting. Who\ How are colors chosen? You have Rotating colors for years? Through the tiny holes, what about using a Twig, or center of Leaf to round-up Queen? You noted Queen Bee may (had) passed out, well i may too. = (| We both get marked. lol

Msznewyawwk RN. Don’t watch too many you find yourself with a new hobby 😂

I learn a bunch from you, you're great, your bees are still strong after a few years and multiple 2:16 cold winter's

Always nice when a demonstration video realizes that the first pass went entirely too smoothly and does it a second time hoping for difficulty.

Two very cool tools David thanks for sharing.
I was just asking myself this question... and lo and behold, you answer it. 🙂👍 great video 💙🐝💙
Just ordered bees from you today can't wait to get them!!

You are awesome Dave. Thanks for sharing your life adventures. :)
Thank you Warren. I really really appreciate that.

EXCELLENT video showing how to mark a queen WITHOUT damaging them! I'm afraid to pick them up & mark them. I'm scared that I will injure her!
I LOVE the second channel so much I subscribed!
Thank you so much for subscribing to my new channel.
Great video!!! I want one of those piles!!!

Great job on Tshirts!!!
I want the peach in size small!!!
Thank you for an interesting channel and great knowledge in your videos.
Wow! you are a very handsome man....;-) Thank you for the tips, keep up the good work.
Marty
excellent video.
Can you make a video showing/making your feeder for the 2 frame nucs?
will the Queen Sting you if you handle her too much during marking?
I would pay $5
White candle, does it affect bees if used in the foundation?
If ya do a walk away split does the queenless . How far does the queenless colony need to be away from the original hive ?
Can you use any kind of marker?
I have been wondering what kind/type to use also
What's playing on the wall in the Employees Only office? :-) Good video dave. I'll have to order one of those kits...
Looks like a professional photograph of a couple. Maybe David when he still grew out his hair, or of his one of his kids and spouse.
Do the guardian hive entrance provide enough ventilation? Thanks Virgil
Good video and information. Are your hives been wax yet ?

How do the bees know if the queen is an actual queen or not? Like what if the queen catfishes the colony?
I marked several queens this summer, but my paint always wore off. I haven't figured out what I'm doing wrong.

What did you say I won a free T-Shirt David ???? I'll take the grey t-shirt please --- LOL Thanks
Practice on drones?
Great video
Do you sell honey by the gallon

Now, my question is WHY do you mark them and why those colors on those years?
Anyone?
Благодарю!
The question is, why do the crooks charge $5 to mark a queen? Because they can!
