Join Fy Nyth on social media - mewe.com/i/fynyth ! If you are new to my channel and Fy Nyth (Welsh for "My Nest") in general, welcome! I'm Ariel. Along with my husband Clay, our dogs, cats, bees, and some poultry, we live in a tiny house on wheels in the mountains of western Wyoming and are working on setting into our own new little homestead. I've been living this lifestyle since 2014 and my wonderful partner has joined me more recently. What will you find if you follow the channel and watch the videos?
Real life here. I try to show the good and the bad. The ups and the downs. What works, and what doesn't. The parts I love (most of it!), and the things that suck. Not just the showroom version of a tiny house, but everyday life in a tiny house. Not just the romantic idea of "homesteading" or off grid life, but the everyday details of this lifestyle. We split wood for heat, fill the water tank from a gravity fed spring, and attempt to grow as much of our own food as possible between the weather and wildlife here. I hope to help others learn from mistakes and make life just a little easier for anyone else interested in pursuing a similar lifestyle.
We live in a somewhat harsh and cold climate, but enjoy the stunning scenery and wildlife that we are surrounded by on a daily basis. You'll also see videos of the nature and wildlife around my home. If you are interested in my photography or purchasing a photo, I'd love if you follow that over at mewe.com/join/... or ArielCelestePhotography.zenfolio.com!

I never even knew that bees lived through the winter. How very wonderful. Thanks Ariel.
Bees are amazing! So beautiful with all the snow in the landscape. Thanks for sharing with us!
Ariel thank you for always being informative. I have learned so much from your videos!
Great video once again Ariel. Velcro was cracking me up, you’re so good to them. The snow is stunning!! I have never seen a bee in a winter, this was fascinating.
I had no idea they flew in the winter. It is very interesting, thankbyou for sharing.
Super cool to learn more about the honey bee in the wintertime. Thanks so much Ariel.
So interesting! Thanks for sharing your bee hive update!
I love bees! People freak out when I let them land on my hand. Very interesting to hear about their behavior in the winter. I had to laugh when the one bee was walking on the snow. There was a big “nope!” running through its head. Thanks for sharing this with us Ariel!!❤️❤️🐝
Aww.. a Fy Nyth vid- always interest, touching & beauty. 👏
Bees must acclimate just like people
Velcro is so sweet! 😂
Thank you for sharing your 'winter' bees 🐝🐝🐝
Wow thought bees hibernated
Thank you very much! I had wondered about them as I had watched you winterize the hives. Have a blessed year!'🫖📚🐈⬛🐝
Huh. I thougth they hibernated, very interesting.
I have read suggestions that drones, after the queen has been mated may be assigned to door security. I have seen film somewhere of several drones tackling a marauding wasp or it might even a hornet, they beat him up good and the would be thief staggered away the worse for wear and the lads looked very pleased with them selves.
great video, I don't think I would be able to see this winter bee update anywhere! Thanks for sharing! it looks pretty cold out there, go get some hot chocolate 😀
Wow. That was fascinating! And seeing the bees flying around the opening of the hive, knowing how cold it was outside. So interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Thats so interesting! I love your way of bee keeping!
Wow so white everywhere.
Cute Bee update. Lots of buzzing!
That is so interesting! Thank you for sharing!
First, love your videos. We lived in the Cody area for 3 years and LOVED every moment. We will return full-time soon to farm. People who have never lived in Wyoming can't possibly understand the wind. I tell friends that winds have personalities.
Burley and Velcro playing around and knocking the camera a little! Too funny! Red and I appreciate and enjoy the videos!
Interesting!
Extremely interesting.
Thank you for sharing & showing us the bees & the pets.
Very cool that they're still alive 👍❤️
Have you ever heard of the store called Lehmans in Kidron Ohio? They are a huge store that caters to the local Amish community and off grid people like yourself. Awesome store
I always assumed that the bees kept warm due to mass numbers and body heat.
💖💖🎶🎶
Do you feed them during the winter? The couple in Alaska feed theirs sugar water during the winter. Enjoy your videos.
You definitely have a "green thumb" for gardening and beekeeping!
Hi Velcro!!! You look nice and furry and warm in your winter coat!! Wow, bees flying around in winter cool!! Love your new intro and all the paths created by the snow blower.
Good to know, I have a friend wanting to do bees, will share info. Thanks Ariel!
👍🐝🐝🐝🐝🐾🐾😎🇨🇦
My parents still have drones too! I have not seen any of mine since early fall. We are not as cold as you in NY. Good luck getting thru winter! Bee well 🐝!
We picked up what we thought was a dead bee and then when we were driving home in the warm car, they came alive.
Love your videos, good jobAriel
Love the new place and it gives you so much space to do new things. A while back you told us about the ranch you used to live on and that it was for sale so I got curious about the meadow where you used to live but as hard as I tried I couldn’t find the spot lol
Do you think the snow will get as deep in the new place as it did in the meadow?
Have you planned your house and what type of home will you be building? Will it be a natural energy type home? I've always wanted to build a straw bale home for the 18" thick walls for insulation.
Maybe some of the dead bees found some distance from the hive were dead when they were pushed out of the hive and their bodies were just blown that far by the wind. No?
Did that bee fly that was on the sniw or did it just die there ??
I have always seen hives in a row. Is there a reason why you have your hives far apart?
She’s experimenting.
What color blue and brand is the paint on your bee hive and home?
Maybe they were coming out for water (snow)
They do need water but usually get it from condensation in the hive or from melting on the outside facing the sun.
What do you know about these new so-called vaccines, that the FDA has approved and is pushing for honey bees. I'm concerned. Also, do you feed anything to the bees in winter?
I was thinking about the bees about two weeks ago,good to know⛷️🏂
