    Good set up, love to see young folks living close to the land and learning how to grow food. Some of the bees are getting hammered by chemicals and un-natural weather patterns these days. Good video, thank you and we enjoyed watching. Never miss an opportunity to tell your kids that they matter and that you love them. We lost a son at his 30 year mark, seeing the young boy brings back great memories of our son when he was growing up.

    Wow! What a great blast from the past! Thanks for sharing Diego. Much has changed since this video. We now run about 200 colonies. Beekeeping is now our main farm enterprise. We have had to adapt to our weather, pest loads, pest management and equipment as we've scaled up which has been very interesting when Ideals are humbled by Reality. #beethechange #beethelighthouse

      @@catlindarnell2367 I believe that was 4-5 years ago when Diego visited. We use products that are considered organic such as Oxalic Acid and Thymol to help keep mites down. The Essential Oil approach proved to be ineffective for mites but is helpful for other things.

      @@NaturesImageFarmGregBurns That sucks about the mites id like to do some expermineting with different types of antimicrobial plants an tree's. The annona species of fruit and those related with similar properties might be my first try the pawpaw/Asiminia that is native would be easier to get in quantity if they work the same.

      We don’t, and it doesn’t appear to affect them in the slightest.

      @@needsomehike not familiar with that but I don’t see any issues at all in my area. Maybe I’m just lucky? While I imagine nothing is without consequence, I’ve not heard from any fellow beekeepers of various scales and locations that it’s actually a concern.

      5g operates at 28 and 39 Gigahertz whereas honeybees operate at something closer to 250 Hz. Which is way slower than 5G so it has had no effect on the density of the honey. But it has apparently negatively impacted the blackberry
