I've been beekeeping for a number of years, if you need any tips let me know! However what I would say is that it is a lot more complex than it seems. I strongly suggest that you find your local society and speak to them, even if you don't attend a beginner course (which you really should) simply having an experienced beekeeper you can call, when something weird inevitably happens, is extremely valuable. What I will say is that those hives are too close together as it stands, and the hives will probably start fighting - you'll want 10-12 feet between each hive. It can also help to paint them different colours as this can help the bees differentiate the hives, which stops them trying to land in the wrong hive and causing further conflict.
I'm afraid I don't have a channel. I haven't come across any really good channels on beekeeping that I follow closely, although ther are good videos out there, and I'm sure some channels do exist ... maybe I should start a channel
What I've learned over the years by watching Gold Shaw Farm: Morgan: "I'm not a very smart man." - Yet proves times and times again, that he knows, what he is doing.
He just learned early on that failure is a very important part of success. We can learn that from our teachers, parents and professors but while we hear them say those words, it doesn't sink in until we experience it first hand. You just have to keep on keeping on until you get it right. Or at least mostly right.
I get joy over seeing Morgan enjoy his farm. I used to enjoy sitting and watching my animals and doing my chores, but covid got me and a year later I have long haulers and it appears to have disabled me. I have to depend on my ADD hubby to do things and he doesn't have nearly the joy Morgan or I have. He collects eggs once a week, .....maybe. He lets the rabbits run out of food such that there will be 6 dead bodies in the pen, he doesn't notice when rabbits dig out through rusted hardware cloth lining bottom, (been there since 1990) and escape, and let them run loose and cause havoc in the chicken house, in my garden , he just doesn't care. It stresses me but I don't have the oxygen to get out there and take care of business.
He is a financial services advisor. Takes a pretty high level of understanding of the world to get to that position. A. Financial services guy who can run a farm and UA-cam channel at same time, while also showing an aptitude for hamdyman/carpentry skill, is pretty freaking genius level person to me. Frankly, it's generally only the intelligent that realize what their doing was stupid. Learned that while people watching in jail and conversations there and in life. The dumbest people alive, are those that make mistakes, and repeat it. Also, those that refuse to learn from others mistakes when given advice, particularly by older, and wiser people to teens or young adults, and repeat the same thing anyway.
Bruce seems very happy/interested that the girls of his old flock are here. Thank you shout out to the previous owner for calling you and giving them to you for free. It was very kind of him. Love seeing Lil' barn cat making biscuits on the blankets!
Hey just wanted to let you know that my local tractor supply stopped using those brooders and have them in the tarter tanks... So you definitely are being heard 🥰😉
@@renaissancewomanfarm9175 this 1 I go to is in Chesapeake, Va and they changed the chicks back Tuesday to the medal stock tanks. I’m guessing all tractor supplies will be doing the same.
Yes. Our tractor supply had the chicks on stock tank this yeae too. Lol. But sign did not match chuck breed to what was in the tank. It is ok. We love each one of the 25 we bought. All still alive and doing great. Thanks be to God.
Pablo Barn Cat living his best life at 12:09 haha Honestly I'm sure I speak for all your fans when I say I really enjoy just how thoughtful and genuine all your content is. How you show the struggles of the farm and being a farmer as well as the joys.
I love how the duckies barrel down the ramp and head straight to the pond...with their little tails wagging the whole way. Lol And Pablo sprawled out on the piece of roofing made me literally laugh out loud. Getting some tanning in as best he can.
I really enjoyed this video! Can't really put my finger on what made it so special to me but it was just so relaxing and wholesome to see all the small, normal, everyday things. I'm bad with words but it just made me feel connected with you, the animals and the farm somehow.
These should be a seasonal regular, not only do we get to see what happens season to season but we also get to see how those seasons change year on year as the farm grows and changes. This channel is one of those little rays of sunshine on what can be a very negative internet. Thanks for all the smiles.
Just left my TSC store in Manassas,VA. Happy to report chicks are back in steel troughs. No huddling. Fresh water and feed in all tanks. Well done Morgan!! You saved countless birds.
Morgan, everytime i watch one of your videos i get so imersed. I'm not sure if it's the editing, narration or camera, but it makes me smile, laugh, worry and feel a bunch of interesting feelings. You and everything around you seems to be so nice and something i like to observe, and i'm glad you have a channel that allows me to do that, thank you :)
I have never seen any one such as you who has opened up his life in so many ways concerning a life being lived on a farm. You inform, bear your soul, and express concern for all aspects and kinds of life of nature's wonders you are involved with. Seemingly thorough yet vulnerable to public debate. It is nice to see someone open his whole nature and personality for the world to see as a good example of being one of God's creatures.
Seriously tho, if a dude stepped into my house unannounced with a net and the first thing he said was "Don't worry, you guys are going to a good place." I'd be freaking out too.
I enjoyed this video. Pretty cool that Bruce seems to remember the four females. It will be interesting to see what happens when you let them out. Also looking forward to videos from trail cams. Hope you picked a bunch. Thanks for sharing. Good to see that Allison is okay after the slide in her car. I know she doesn’t like to be on camera, but it’s nice to see everyone from time to time. A thanks to her for being such a good sport. It’s hard to eat in front of the camera. Edit: oh yeah I wasn’t surprised to see the geese laid eggs in Toby’s condo, lol.
Morgan, you are something🤣 I laughed at every moment of this video. The reaction of the birds at the pond OMG, Pablo, those chickens with saddles walking around like they are still in pijamas and photobombing you! You succeeded to make us feel the joy of watching the animals at your farm, thank you so much! Alison is sooo gorgeous.
Enjoyed watching you as you went about your day on the farm. As a fellow yankee, I especially appreciated your "yankee ingenuity" with your tailgate latch rigging. Using duct tape to save yourself money is New England resourcefulness at its best.
I freaking love how authentic you are, you don't shy away from being your goofy, passionate self and I think that's fantastic. You spilling milk down your shirt just goes to show how much you enjoyed the cereal 😂 I'd buy it based on that alone if I didn't have messed up digestion.
I love Magic Spoon cereal! I’ve been keto for 18 months & this stuff rocks for us low-carb, low-sugar people...including diabetics, of course. Hits that crunchy cereal craving. 😋👍
When he said he was going to bulldoze the patch, I was very, very concerned. I think he should try to lift those plants and move them to someplace safer. Asparagus and rhubarb are amazing plants. (I'm just sorry that I can't grow them on my place.)
Morgan, I absolutely love your channel.💖💕🥰 For a city boy you have grown into a farmer. You learned how to farm, build buildings and take on all kinds of obstacles. Looks like you are a great cook too! Love the day on the farm videos. Keep it up.
It's new and moving, therefore Scary and Evil. I have had my geese gaggle up and defend the yard against stray plastic bags. It'll take them a short while to get used to the fountains.
Thank you Morgan for sharing another day on your farm with us. Nothing nicer for me than waking up and spending a little virtual time on Gold Shaw Farm. My daughter and her husband now have their own small farm about an hour from here and are enjoying thre good country life.
Seeing this has to make you really appreciate what hard work all farmers do to get staples to our markets and tables. I praise and thank you all (next to God) for the abundant provisions.
This was one of my favorite videos and I love them all! Your animals are so healthy and nurtured, by you and their environment. I wish this for all animals. Love how you savor your daily routine and take pleasure in it. Thank you.
Seriously. Raw milk is GOOD for you, store bought milk has all of the beneficial bacteria boiled out of it and then your body doesn't have what it needs to process the milk proteins, especially if the milk is Holstein instead of a more digestible cow milk, like Jersey.
Joyful spring days are a tonic! Everyone full of energy - loved how the birds went tearing off to the pond. Oh, and I got a nice giggle from your incubator brand/model, "Ova Easy."
About the Rhubarb and Asparagus! Both those plants take years to grow and establish. When you take down the shed you should dig them up and relocate them. If the root is too huge, it’s ok to cut it into pieces. Just a thought!
Are you still planning on using Silkies to hatch out ducks and geese eggs or has that kinda been scrapped? Edit: Ha! Called it with the geese taking over Tobys house! Only just one so far but still. Also, word of advice for future goose transportation: Cover their cage with something to block their view, it greatly reduces stress for them.
I was thinking the same about moving the asparagus. Its takes years for them to get established and productive. Seems a waste to just plow them over. I just planted a few roots this spring. Not sure this is my forever home, but if I move i think the asparagus is coming with me.
@holaI found my first sprouts just few mins ago!!!! I'm so excited!!! I can't imagine leaving something that takes such an investment of patience. The way I feel right now and if i have my way, where I go, the asparagus goes! :)
Rhubarb leaves are poisonous, well they are to human's I can't remember the name of the chemical in the leaves, just googled it and it's oxalic acid, not sure if that would be poisonous to the birds if the pecked at them?
I bet he could have fun doing a little DIY stand for them in a video! But I bet pallets should be able to handle much heavier loads than those full beehives, unless they got rotten. I did see someone mention they should not all be next to each other because they would fight.
I appreciate your taking the time to cook for us and even though it was awkward to eat it on camera, it looked delish! You don't have to eat it on camera if you are uncomfortable though, just watching you prepare it is enough! I never understood why people always ate their meal on video anyway, but cooking for your wife is so sweet. You're a good husband Morgan! 😁
Use your tractor and dig up the asparagus and then plant into a forever spot to continue producing for you. Make sure you feed them real good. They are heavy feeders. The root system maybe pretty large due to it being really old.
You can totally transfer the asparagus and rhubarb into another area. The rhubarb can be split and you can get more. I harvest all summer chop and freeze so I can make stewed rhubarb (I do it in crockpot for 24 hrs then it gets really dark and intensely flavoured) and finish on stove to boil,off excess water. Just pull the rhubarb, don’t cut it, and pull flowers as soon as they appear to keep harvesting all summer
I actually ordered the cereal. I had gastric sleeve surgery just over a year ago and I avoid sugar and enjoy monkfruit. Saw it in the ingredients so figured it was worth a try!
@@AndroidFish Of course! I'm just stating my interests when he does decide to sell. I've been watching this channel for a couple years and excited for what is to come, WHENEVER that may be. :)
Awesome video GoldShawFarm also I am very excited for your new bees coming to your farm . 🥳. Also if you keep hay in toby's house the geese and the other birds will mistake it as a nesting spot for them . So I suggest you either remove the hay and put toby's bed or put his bed on top of the hay . That's the main reason that female goose went inside his house . Because to them it's another spot for them to lay their eggs
I want to live and work at the Gold Shaw farm. It all seems so peaceful, wholesome, and fulfilling. Hopefully one day I’ll have my own place. That bit at dinner was cute. Thank you!
Hopefully you can move the rhubarb and asparagus patches to another location. I hear it takes several years for asparagus to produce well! I wonder if you could talk to beekeepers in your area, maybe a club? :D
Omg an attorney at my last office regularly got bee queens and their consorts in the mail. We were constantly on the watch for their royal highnesses, not the usual thing for a law office🙂 we adored meeting the queens and got loads of delightful honey!
@hola - I found that out when my chickens would all run to the fence whenever people were talking on the other side of the house. And when I would open windows on the same side of the house that their yard is. They also seem to know when I'm running water at the kitchen sink, which faces their yard about 30' away.
i love watching you learn, Morgan. Ive always been mechanically inclined, i grew up learning how to fix basic mechanical stuff. anything that goes wrong with my car, i fix it myself as best i can. so watching you say "im a mechanical moron" and then watching you figure out your tailgate on your own, and fix it in probably the exact same way i would. i just love it.
@@silvergreylion Various reasons. 1. it is a time factor. I'm very overloaded at work and bees need a certain flexibility (weather etc.) which I currently cannot contribute 2. I was working with an old beehouse which I cannot recommend for anyone. At the time when I stopped I would've also had to replace my entire equipment to some modern box-design which I couldn't afford at the time. I'll restart it eventually again. When I got a bit more time at my hands.
@@Stordyr I've kept bees for 3 years (in Denmark). Also with an old wooden beehive, 12x10 standard. I've had zero problems with varroa mites, probably because I read somewhere, that it has a natural enemy, a small pseudo-scorpion, which bees will sometimes find and bring to the hive, but it will only stay there, if there are cracks in wood it can breed in, and if the hive is not too moist. So, I kept the old hive (which has cracks on the inside), and modified an old lid to have a ceiling with a few ventilation holes, and it seems to have worked out fine. This year, the hive had thousands of bees surviving the winter, more than could fit in one magazine (which is what each individual box with 9 frames is called here).
@@silvergreylion Well.. that's good for you. :) With old I meant ancient backside treatment magazines. Where you cannot pull individual frames but instead you have to remove ALL frames to get to the front one. It's old, it's not good for the bees and cleaning, feeding and varroa treatment is just a freaking mess. So I wanted to switch to Dadant EU but as I said, never really started again. When I retire ;)

Dom, do you have a youtube channel?
Vino Farm is pretty interesting beekeeping journey
@Tim Roden check out off grid living(?) with doug and stacy - their episodes with dr. leo

I love how the birds gather around like a bunch of nosey neighbors to see what’s happening
That moment reminded me of the story "Charlotte's Web."🥰
Bruce seems very happy/interested that the girls of his old flock are here. Thank you shout out to the previous owner for calling you and giving them to you for free. It was very kind of him.
Love seeing Lil' barn cat making biscuits on the blankets!
Given that we know other birds recognise people's faces, I don't think it's a far stretch to believe that they'd recognise each other.
I watched this video on acid. It was going well then he took out those fucking cereal gods
Pablo likes that sheet metal after it's been out in the sun for a few hours because it's nice and warm :)
Purrfect place to relax for a while.
If that had been on the cat dog house, it would have been a cat on a hot tin roof.
And then Morgan comes along and removes Pablo's tanning studio :(.
@@Zoldidi yeah I know.
Can’t believe Bruce climbed the birdhouse just to see the girls😀

After a long day in the city life, I feel relaxed to be here watching a farm video before I sleep.
yeah! Funny, on this side of the world it is the perfect timing for dinner for me.
I wait for just before bed to watch...takes away the city thoughts...
Awww, Lil kneading on the couch! She's such a happy kitty
the duck that flew past everyone while getting out of the coop is what we all wish we could do when there's traffic
What happens in the coop stays in the coop
I know! I always watch for the inevitable face (bill) plant and that was different!
Personal hovercraft for the win?
You could do like Marge Simpson and run the Canyonero over the lawns and across the dividers.
"I wonder if Bruce recognizes them?"
*Bruce literally climbs the walls after seeing them*
Bruce feels like 'Oooh hi girls!! You're all here too!'

It's amazing to see how smart Geese are, Bruce still remembers his old flock half a year later!

He's become a good role model for giving things a try and expanding his knowledge base. It's inspirational.
The geese do like laying eggs in Toby’s house. Maybe it feels nice and safe to them, knowing it’s his house.
Seriously tho, if a dude stepped into my house unannounced with a net and the first thing he said was "Don't worry, you guys are going to a good place." I'd be freaking out too.
Yeah XD
Enjoyed today with you on the farm. It is great that Bruce is going to be reunited with his girls.
Pablo Barncat, probably: "The human has left a piece of metal to get warm in the sun. How kind of him to give me a warm sunbathing spot."
You should definitely do more of these day in the life videos, it was cool to watch!
That dinner scene was cute. 😎

That fountain thing is pretty legit, solar power moving that much water. Interesting!
I’m not a dog person, but Toby Dog has won me over. He’s a good boy!
You might need stronger base for your bee hives. When the bees loads up honey, It's gonna be a lot heavier.
I bet he could have fun doing a little DIY stand for them in a video! But I bet pallets should be able to handle much heavier loads than those full beehives, unless they got rotten. I did see someone mention they should not all be next to each other because they would fight.
Gotta say the Magic Spoon cereal is actually pretty interesting

There is never been nothing that good ole tape or a clothes hanger couldn't fix lol !! Made me smile.
Use your tractor and dig up the asparagus and then plant into a forever spot to continue producing for you. Make sure you feed them real good. They are heavy feeders. The root system maybe pretty large due to it being really old.
Yeah, mature asparagus is worth keeping!
The fact that you quoted Pauly shore (wheezing the juice) had me laughing my head off
That’s a clever fix for the latch, Morgan! Good ol’ Yankee ingenuity and a whole lot of Duct Tape
You can totally transfer the asparagus and rhubarb into another area. The rhubarb can be split and you can get more. I harvest all summer chop and freeze so I can make stewed rhubarb (I do it in crockpot for 24 hrs then it gets really dark and intensely flavoured) and finish on stove to boil,off excess water. Just pull the rhubarb, don’t cut it, and pull flowers as soon as they appear to keep harvesting all summer
I actually ordered the cereal. I had gastric sleeve surgery just over a year ago and I avoid sugar and enjoy monkfruit. Saw it in the ingredients so figured it was worth a try!
Happy to say, made a trip to tractor supply today and they were back in the classic brooders the way it should be. Love this community.
I read the title as 'The Bee Gees:life on the farm' 😂
The dyslexia is strong with this one.
No, no u didn't.
Me to XD
instant party just add the Bee gees
Great...now my brain is mashing up the Bee Gees and John Denver's "Country Boy" song.
If you become a beekeeper I would 1000% buy honey from you. This would be a dream come true!
I would expect in Vermont with a fresh package of bees -- all the honey they bring in has gotta go back to them this year.
@@AndroidFish Of course! I'm just stating my interests when he does decide to sell. I've been watching this channel for a couple years and excited for what is to come, WHENEVER that may be. :)
Alison is such a cutie. Great ELO reference too Morgan 💛💛💛
What a dream! A lot of work, but a dream. Thank you for sharing this with us, Morgan. You are inspiring.
Smile, smile, smile, I just love watching your animals enjoying their farm.
Thanks 🙏 for being honest about your life and thoughts on your life on your farm respect ✊ from west London
Awesome video GoldShawFarm also I am very excited for your new bees coming to your farm . 🥳. Also if you keep hay in toby's house the geese and the other birds will mistake it as a nesting spot for them . So I suggest you either remove the hay and put toby's bed or put his bed on top of the hay . That's the main reason that female goose went inside his house . Because to them it's another spot for them to lay their eggs
This farm/vlog format is addicting, I've been watching a bunch of your videos since I found your channel a few days ago. I love it!
I want to live and work at the Gold Shaw farm. It all seems so peaceful, wholesome, and fulfilling. Hopefully one day I’ll have my own place. That bit at dinner was cute. Thank you!
Hopefully you can move the rhubarb and asparagus patches to another location. I hear it takes several years for asparagus to produce well! I wonder if you could talk to beekeepers in your area, maybe a club? :D
Relaxing long video basically a dream video for me thank you
Omg an attorney at my last office regularly got bee queens and their consorts in the mail. We were constantly on the watch for their royal highnesses, not the usual thing for a law office🙂 we adored meeting the queens and got loads of delightful honey!
This makes me want to live on a farm more and more
See in you’re last video you said you’re incompetent but look you are fantastic you just fixed your truck latch keep up the brilliant work
When do we get the Cooking with Gold Shaw Farm channel?
I am constantly amazed at how prolific a poster you are with a full day job and all of the farm work. I hope that you are getting enough sleep!
Those ducks seem to be standing in line inside their house since 3 am, cause when the doors open - they fly out like rockets!
Arvis - My chickens do that in their coop. They're gathered by the door every morning haha.
@hola - I found that out when my chickens would all run to the fence whenever people were talking on the other side of the house. And when I would open windows on the same side of the house that their yard is. They also seem to know when I'm running water at the kitchen sink, which faces their yard about 30' away.
Oooh! You got bees! Well done, you two. They are so important. ☺️😍
You took away Pablo's "Heating Pad"?
Noooooo.😆
i love watching you learn, Morgan. Ive always been mechanically inclined, i grew up learning how to fix basic mechanical stuff. anything that goes wrong with my car, i fix it myself as best i can. so watching you say "im a mechanical moron" and then watching you figure out your tailgate on your own, and fix it in probably the exact same way i would. i just love it.
okay you got me with "it even makes good cereal milk"
20:06 you can tell morgan was staring at the entire drive's footage to find that sweet goose poop clip.
And his smile in the clip after that cracked me up :'D
12:09 pablo sunbathing like a boss 🐱🐈🐾💖
By adding bee content to your channel you are officially at the top of my watch list :) best of luck with the pollinating ladies.
I love the way you talk with your farm animals..love from India☺
what else i want ? coffee and 30 minutes of my favourite youtube channel
Excited to see you start beekeeping. I miss that a lot.
You stopped keeping bees, why?
@@silvergreylion Various reasons.
1. it is a time factor. I'm very overloaded at work and bees need a certain flexibility (weather etc.) which I currently cannot contribute
2. I was working with an old beehouse which I cannot recommend for anyone. At the time when I stopped I would've also had to replace my entire equipment to some modern box-design which I couldn't afford at the time.
I'll restart it eventually again. When I got a bit more time at my hands.
@@Stordyr I've kept bees for 3 years (in Denmark). Also with an old wooden beehive, 12x10 standard.
I've had zero problems with varroa mites, probably because I read somewhere, that it has a natural enemy, a small pseudo-scorpion, which bees will sometimes find and bring to the hive, but it will only stay there, if there are cracks in wood it can breed in, and if the hive is not too moist. So, I kept the old hive (which has cracks on the inside), and modified an old lid to have a ceiling with a few ventilation holes, and it seems to have worked out fine.
This year, the hive had thousands of bees surviving the winter, more than could fit in one magazine (which is what each individual box with 9 frames is called here).
@@silvergreylion Well.. that's good for you. :) With old I meant ancient backside treatment magazines. Where you cannot pull individual frames but instead you have to remove ALL frames to get to the front one. It's old, it's not good for the bees and cleaning, feeding and varroa treatment is just a freaking mess. So I wanted to switch to Dadant EU but as I said, never really started again.
When I retire ;)
I love how Toby greets you at the front of farm.
Love the “Oceans12” movie type music!
I just love your little clips you add to your videos. Very unique, I haven't seen them in any other homestead videos I watch. Love your comments too.
