Nice presentation! Editorial: I have come to a place in life where I think Q&A sessions at seminars really suck. The point of this presentation was about changing your Mindset, but all the questions were about beekeeping details, like they totally missed the point. And then half the questioners want to argue their point! Jacob was very patient.
Great Presentation! I'm in Virginia and the Cottage Exemption allows for 250 gallons of honey without a health inspection. The mindset you describe is what I'm doing about making everything the same or nearly identical, honeybees are not pets but livestock and are treated differently.. Some guy from the local government was treating me like a backyard beekeeper about selling honey and mite treatments as he was not educated and admitted all his bees died.. My count is 20 full hives and 21 nucs in different box configurations, not a beginner based upon prior work experience.
I also sell honey at a Barbershop, great video. Jumped up to sideliner status last year. Hearing "streamlined" vs "micro-managed" put things into perspective.
I'm picking this up as a hobby, plus it'll help all the local food sources/gardens. His opening line, "since I was eight years old," gave me butterflys because I have 2 daughters 4/8 respectively. Hopefully they can turn an interest into a passion like he did!
I had a squeeze honey bear with those little flat ice cream spoons made of wood. No mess, throw the spoons in a trash container. A gross of them was cheap and would last a time. I had a roadside stand setup before and during Labor day weekend for travelers. I also did county fairs over the years. Great way to meet people
The Honey Quantity of 150 gallons, is not a Federal Law. It must be Kentucky law. In Texas we can sell unlimited amount of Honey without an inspection/license. It's all classified as a Farm activity. That is for Raw Honey. If you want to mix flavors into it, then you need to start looking at the cottage food law or getting an inspection to sell as a food manufacturer.
You can see the type of feed he uses here. www.mannlakeltd.com/feeding-medications/9-1-8-pro-feeder-2-1-2-wide-holds-1-1-2-gallons-cap-and-ladder-bulk-20/
My mentor has 80 hives and they all have honey. There’s lots of wildflowers, mesquite, cactus, all kinds of stuff for them. He hardly ever feeds them. He extracted 1100 pounds of honey this year and says it’s much less than he normally gets
@@badassbees3680 oh yes, a lot of it has to do with geography. You are absolutely correct. That’s one reason watching youtube isn’t always the best educational source unless that youtuber is in your direct area. Here in Central Texas, bees do way better on the east side of the I-35 corridor. This is because I-35 was built on the Balcones Escarpment. The elevation and terrain is completely different, even though they’re right next door.
@@mathgasm8484 just realized you’re not too far from Blanco. I know some people out there with bees and they’re doing OK. Blanco is very rocky though, so I feel they will need a lot of attention. East TX is good in the blacklands praries. Tons of flowers out there. Land is outrageously expensive these days. We got our spot near Lockhart but not without a cost
This has been the best presentation I’ve seen in my 3 years of research!!! This gentleman needs a UA-cam channel!!
We are glad you enjoyed it!

That sounds like a great way to have people sample your honey and meet people!
Great video. I've learned so much
Glad it was helpful!
This guy is speaking facts
We are glad you enjoyed the video!
Great video.
Thanks!

How do you build the HDO concrete form board hive covers?
I've considered using all deep boxes, but I'm planning on beekeeping till death and don't know if I can still lift em at 80
Those deep boxes can get heavy!
Does Mann Lake sell equipment at the prices he is talking about?
Yes. Call us to get the best pricing possible when you are purchasing in volume. 800-880-7694
Bucket feeders with temperature swings are a disaster. Frame feeders have been the way to go for me.
How does your feeders look like
You can see the type of feed he uses here. www.mannlakeltd.com/feeding-medications/9-1-8-pro-feeder-2-1-2-wide-holds-1-1-2-gallons-cap-and-ladder-bulk-20/
Very informative. To descrystalize honey I just out the entire bucket in my electric oven a 100 degrees.
That's a great idea!
Here's a stupid question. Why can't a sideliner do pollination services? Especially if it's locally?
There is no reason a sideliner cannot offer pollination services. It really depends on the needs of the grower.
It's called the reciprocity principle
Cash or card?
Both!
I use stir sticks from Walmart and give what I call taste test. That's the hook, if I can get them to try it they buy it.
That is a great idea!
Thats what I do. I have a sample bear and little spoons. It works every time.
You overlooked APITOXIN as income mate
I find it hard to believe that there's enough food in a 2-mile radius for 100 full colonies

@@mapache_del_sur I am in Bulverde and my bees do a good job. I thought about buying land in east Texas to get more honey production.

"It don't work that way!!" Lol.
That taint the half of it.
Hobby is the main linener not sub
Thank you for your comment.
I'm glad i watched until the questions came in... he's a salesman...
We are glad you enjoyed the first part.

The guy is giving super important information on how to sell your honey crop and a Karen asks a completely unrelated question.....nice one, Karen.
