as a husband to a wife who owns a successful business, ive had the opportunity to become a stay at home dad and, also start my own bee business. second year in and only 12 hives but ready to really gear up this coming summer, label, social media, farm stand, and out yards all ready to go, big plans. duck river honey and hall apiaries have been huge inspirations to me and I am grateful for this talk!

[@DuckRiverHoney]

Thanks Dave

[@JeffHorchoff]

Awesome interview, VERY informative especially getting a northern beekeepers perspective. So sorry I was unable to stop by during the Expo, I really had wanted to. Unfortunately, I was pulled in a hundred directions and I never got back to you. Looking forward to seeing you and Cory in just a few weeks. Until then, God's peace brother.

[@DuckRiverHoney]

Thanks Jeff, it was good seeing you!

[@hootervillehoneybees8664]

He sets good example for the industry people see him see success and freedom then think I need more bees . Hobby nuc sales been rather weak in the north but bulk orders way up. Guys wanting 100 200 nucs looking for deals.. looking to jump into the biz . definitely pays to work the bee clubs and farmers markets I just can't do it not the reason I went into bees .. I run wildlife control business in the city I get enough people doing that. Love the bee life looking at two new yards tomorrow got bee yards coming out of my ears. Get on one farm and their friends and family want bees and free honey

[@DuckRiverHoney]

Wildlife control - you doing cutouts plus nuisance animals?

[@gregmiller1951]

Two of my favorite informative channels together in one interview! Great interview Nathan. I have always really enjoyed Troy's channel!

[@DuckRiverHoney]

Thanks Greg!

[@gallowaylights]

Exceptional 😊

[@DuckRiverHoney]

Thanks!

[@tfeerst]

Nathan, please keep the vlog going sir. Really enjoy watching the business grow and great info for someone looking to do beekeeping as a supplemental income as well.

[@DuckRiverHoney]

I’m planning to keep it going. Thanks!

[@t5rider07]

Really enjoyed this discussion, especially the last 6-10 minutes. You and your Bee Business videos have motivated us to make a go of it as beekeepers as opposed to the alternative. Also, I concur that a bad day of beekeeping is way better than a day in any office. Thanks again for taking the time to post this. Good stuff

[@DuckRiverHoney]

Thanks Dan!

[@DuckRiverHoney]

Thanks Ed!

[@TennesseeTim73]

I think it can be done too!!! Great interview Nathan!!!!

[@DuckRiverHoney]

👍

[@tomkingsley4398]

Nathan,this is one of the best video interviews you've done. Being located in upstate NY, I could identify with a lot of Troy's business. I'd suggest you find a semi retired person to do your honey deliveries. Thanks for sharing.

[@DuckRiverHoney]

Thanks Tom!

[@jasonguerra3763]

[@howardperson6341]

Wonderful job. Thank you. I love to see that you have a wonderful higher purpose.

[@DuckRiverHoney]

Thanks Howard!

[@ryanedwards6840]

Such a great interview! Inspired by both of you. I'm working on slowly building my hives up enough to make a living keeping🤙 Here in California Sierra Nevada foothills.

[@DuckRiverHoney]

Thanks Ryan!

[@reindeersbees]

Awesome interview Nathan, thanks for all the effort you put into them! I have the exact same dilemma as Troy in regards to fall flows. Mine is super unpredictable it can be zero or three supers, it is normally a lot or nothing. I also worry if I leave the honey on the hives it will lead to gut issues.

[@DuckRiverHoney]

Tough to walk that line up north!

[@reindeersbees]

@@DuckRiverHoney Yes, each place has it challenges, fortunately we have little dearth.

[@lambbrookfarm4528]

The last queen I bought was from Troy Hall, Kick butt Queen! Great points on nonmigratory beekeeping. Holistic, thanks Nathan. Have a great week!

[@DuckRiverHoney]

Thanks 👍

I didn't have my glasses on when I saw the title and at first though it was Tall Halls bee buisness lol

Around 2 to 4 years ago, I think, the sugar started being contaminated with glyphosate. This most likely has a very negative impact on bee health. Buying organic sugar will have a negative impact on your financial health, but the potential increase in bee health might actually make it more economical in the long run. Somebody should do an experiment.

[@jbissonette45]

Organic sugar is not good for bees. It needs to be white. They will have a hard time digesting Organic sugar.
