I'm David Burns and I've been an EAS Certified Master Beekeeper since 2010. EAS stands for Eastern Apicultural Society. The EAS master beekeeper program is the grandfather of all master beekeeper programs, certifying beekeepers have four rigorous tests: Hive inspection test, laboratory test, oral test and a written test. Learning and training to become a master beekeeper really helped me understand beekeeping and now I'm excited and passionate about sharing what I know about beekeeping and honey bees with others, especially those who are new to beekeeping.

Whoa, you made it all the way down here! Thank you ♥️ Love you - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
This was really a great first timer (which i am) video! Thank you!!
Thanks Christopher, glad you liked it. Awesome that you are getting into beekeeping. Good for you.
Omg me too
I have been trying to spread the word about honey bees being on the endangered species list and how they need to be protected so I've been advising people to grow flowers and vegetables not only to help themselves but the bees and to lay out bowls of rocks that break the surface of the water so the bees don't have to rely on pool water and such
Just found out last summer that I'm no longer deathly allergic to bees so I'm starting doing this this summer. So happy about this!
Nice!
I wish that I could thank all of the honey bees on Earth for all of the incredibly hard work that they do and tell them how much I appreciate them pollinating all of the plants and especially giving us that delicious, nutritious honey with all its multiple uses! 🐝🍯
the only way to thank them is to give them plants which flower, have pollens... plant few near you...
I run a non-profit animal shelter in the Philippines. I moved here almost 8 years ago to get away from Canadian winters. Philippines is tropical so it's summer all year around. We have a 1000sq m property and I'd like to get into beekeeping to add one more element that the shelter has to make itself self-sustaining. We already have some fruit trees and a garden, so it would also be helpful for pollination.
I've never kept bees before so I don't have any experience.
Thanks for this video, I subscribed.
That's awesome! Thanks for subscribing.
I am thinking of becoming a beekeeper in the future this was very helpful thank you.
You are doing a job that is crucial for the ecosystem. Respect to you Sir! All the best.
Thanks so much
Thank you, from all honey lovers, for working hard and creating such a useful and beautiful video. All the best to you and health!
Dude I just found your channel the other day and I absolutely love what you do and what you put out. It is very helpful and I am learning a lot. I plan on starting to bee keep next season and am studying as much as I can and I keep coming back to your videos. Thanks man. And what you do with coffee time is cool. No one takes that personal time anymore. But you do and that’s what makes the difference!
Wow, that is very nice of you to say and I appreciate it alot. Thank you.
I recently had the honor to help my mother in law add a brute box to one of her hives. First time I've ever done anything like that. I look forward to learning more.
Thanks David, great video, you have a natural knack for teaching. After watching 4-5 beginner videos, yours was by far the most comprehensive, thorough, and easy to follow.
Thank you J! I spent so much time putting together my online video courses a few years ago. They turned out to be a big help when covid19 closed down all beekeeping classes. Glad you are enjoying them!
My 8 year old daughter just told me today she wants to be a beekeeper
"How to start bee keeping in 2022" but the video was posted 3 years ago.
You're on top of it man 👍🏽
Yea, nothing much has changed, how to start is basically the same. Like a book published is still revelant for years.
@@beek Yeah, I was just more impressed you remembered to go back and keep updating the title.
After you make a bunch of videos it's easy to forget.
Thank you very much for this video!! I had complete zero knowledge about beekeeping. This was fantastic first overview, i now know where to even begin. And once more - education is the first step. Thank you for emphasizing this.
I'm planning on starting next year wish me luck I'm going to need it ❤
Wow.. you've explained more, more clearly than the last few hours I've spent being confused from other "beginners" youtube videos.
Thank you sir
That is so nice of you to say, thank you.
I have just had a beautiful first successful summer. I did a lot of pre-research and I found a wonderful and lovely hobby for my retirement. I live in the beautiful lush countryside of Belgium. After much thought, I decided I would go with FlowHive. I’m now planning at least 2 or more hives. One subject I never read or hear beekeepers talk about is how each and every frame has a very different and distinct flavour of honey. One never hears or sees beekeepers telling us to not make the unforgivable mistake of creating a mishmash honey soup but to speak up about keeping and bottling each frames flavourful honey bounty separately.
I recently began gardening and have been over researching everything. That lead me to check into bee keeping, obviously. Your intro kept my attention through the whole video which is rare for me. Well done sir, and thank you for taking the time.
Can we just acknowledge for a moment how special and amazing bees are! I love bees and they are so important for our ecosystem. God bless the bees and the bee keepers!
Thanks, David! I'm working on a children's book with a beekeeping story and this was so helpful.
Wonderful! And Good Luck!
I loved this video. Very educational. The world of beekeeping is fascinating and I hope I'll have my own hives someday.
Well thank you Candi and I hope you do get into beekeeping.
Now I’m a lot more confident in my decision to pursue beekeeping 🐝 Loved the video!!
Going to talk about your comment in my next video! Thanks
I am also interested in becoming a beekeeper. And you are definitely an inspiration. Thankyou for sharing.
This was a really helpful video, I'm beginning my research so I can keep bees in the future. Thank you for sharing!
Cool
A huge help on my path to becoming a beekeeper 👍
Sooooooooo nice of you to say!
I was just given a bee hive from a friend that’s moving. This was a great introduction for me! I live in the northern western Washington state so I will be getting ready for beekeeping by next year.
Glad you liked it. Consider taking some of my online courses: www.honeybeesonline.com/online-beekeeping-academy/
I adore the prospect of keeping bees someday. They are so fascinating and helpful. I figure I'm probably at least 2 years away from being able to responsibly keep bees, but i still love learning everything i can about it in the mean time
VERY informative video. I’m sold! I am planning to take my time in thoroughly learning about beekeeping & bees in general before I make the choice to take on this endeavor. This video was extremely helpful. You’ve given me a lot to think about with this. You gained a new subscriber today. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge & experience with us.
Well, thank you so much!
My plan is to take courses this year and start next spring 2023 after I buy my house. Thanks for the videos!
SO happy i found this channel _ thanks !
happy new year David, happy bee keeping in 2024
I’m actually allergic to honey bees but I have absolutely always wanted to start bee keeping with a small hive I live just above Boston Massachusetts your video is amazing I can’t wait to start. Thank you so much for sharing.
I want to do this because my late father in law was passionate about it. Never realized all that goes into it. We raise most all 2-4 legged animals, but never considered bees! I look forward to watching and learning from your experience. Thanks for your info.
Thank you Don
What a great video to find right as I'm researching Beekeeping. I live in California and I'm looking into beekeeping for pollination services around the local Almond farms. Thank you for taking the time to put out this content and help educate your viewers.
I just started I got one hive at present so I'm on here and happy to be 👍 thanks for the knowledge sir . Also to everyone else on here starting or wish to start bee keeping, good luck 💯💯💯.
Thank you for taking the time and effort to share your knowledge and encouraging others.
Thank you, David. I’m purchasing a home this winter and the seller has a setup very similar and since she’s moving out of state she is leaving them with me, and I had no idea how to take care of bees! This definitely helped me understand a little more and I will be watching a lot more of your videos before I move!
Thank you so much for this, I know I will be a beekeeper when I get out of college.
Thank you for sharing the basics with those of us who had no idea on beekeeping.
So nice of you
Thanks, David. I have heard that bees will help my fruit trees and garden. I am not sure how true that is, but it's worth a shot.
Wow, how awesome is your work. Thank you so much for the information. Even though I’m not a bee keeper, I’m certainly thankful for those who are. I absolutely enjoy watching the busy bees.❤️
Well thank you Cheryl. So kind of you
Fantastic video! Thank you. Looking forward to watching more!
Must say this is the best tutorial on bee keeping out there. Thank you.
I don't know of I'll ever do this but I'm fascinated in the process!
I've been looking for a video exactly like this for a long time! thank you so much you've answered so many questions I've had in just this one video. thank you again and I look fwd to checking out more of your stuff
Glad it was helpful!
I have just signed up for a beginner's beekeeping course with my local beekeeping society. It is a winter course so classroom-based before the practical course in the spring/summer. This video was really useful while I am still in the deciding phase of whether or not beekeeping is right for me...or if I am right for beekeeping!
Hey Jon, the way I figure, start, and if you don't like it, quit and donate your bees to a young person who is wanting to expand.
Thank you! Very thorough and professional!
This is a WONDERFUL video! I am SO thankful to have found it. You are a great teacher! Thank you! 🤗
So very nice of you to say. Thank you.
After watching you and other bee people on UA-cam, my partner and I have bought 3 hives and bees
Thank you for this informative video! It's great to hear from a passionate expert!
Glad my passion shows through
I’m so excited to start my bees. My mom keeps bees and she is such a bee lover like I have been since I was little. I have always thought bees were so special. I love them and can’t wait to keep them myself. I’m proud of my mom and thankful I have had her to show me how amazing homesteading is so now that I’m a mom of young kiddos and a homeowner I am starting to homestead as well. I love it. Such a great way to live life. Be connected to nature and truly appreciate what it takes to have things like honey, fresh produce and animal husbandry. It’s a great way to live life for sure, so wholesome and natural. The way God intended for sure. So therapeutic as well. I use to suffer from depression and anxiety but now I spend time in nature and the connection makes me feel grounded and safe. We are blessed.
Thank you for your love of bees so we can thrive. It's a beautiful process and I intend to take a class and begin it's vital to our existence
Good beekeeping overview vid David! Thank you!

Thank you!
Feel like I got educated today. Thanks
Thank you for your time of sharing
David,
I am a Beekeeper/ From Reno Nevada, I was trained by Jo Muncy the Last World Master Beekeeper, he has since passed away. I am currently living in the Philippines as a Disabled Veteran and am thinking of getting back into beekeeping again ! I ran 25 hives in Reno at a squash farm which I left my hives there on the farm, it was a good deal back then. I started with 5 hives then did splits to 10, then 20 & I bought 5 more. I wanted to get up to 250 and hopefully get an Almond Orchard Contract, but that never worked out! I really enjoyed watching your video, thank you for making it! Wishing you a Great Year, Regards
Rob Pecchenino.
Thank you for your service!
I see the honey extractor hasn’t changed at all, over the past 40 years! Why change something, that’s already perfect! 👍
Thank you, love your Videos.
We are moving to AR soon and I’m definitely going to take your class. Excited.
I absolutely love bees. Thank you so much for the info!

So good to hear
And thanks for subscribing
great info. I took a bee keeping class in Virginia in the summer of 2021. Bee keeping is a fraction of my plans of homesteading by 2023. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much for this Sir.
Just bought my new friends home. Super excited.
Welcome aboard!
Like I was scared and grossed out of bees like a few months ago now I'm like I wanna be a beekeeper 🐝🐝
I live in Florida and I want to be a beekeeper your video is very helpful 🙏
Great video bee keeping has changed alot in the last 50 years. Very informative.
great basic outlook on beekeeping
Thanks for watching!
Thank you David! excellent teaching! I hired a guy to remove a swarm of bees that moved into a wall of a playhouse I build for my daughters years ago. I was hoping to learn from him how to keep bees. He was from Romania (I think) and barely spoke any english. I had no idea the complexity involved and hot, hard work to do this stuff. You would have been a much better mentor! He left 4 hours later with $160, most of the honey, the queen, and most of the bees and I didn't learn a damn thing! Well, not really. I learned my lesson. Ha! The experience sparked my interest. I wish you were my neighbor. Have a great day!
I would’ve came by and taken those bees for free lol
Awesome video for me as a beginner. Thank you Sir
Thank you for all the information. Did not know a lot about bee keeping before watching this video.
I’m aiming for getting started into beekeeping next spring, so this was very helpful
This is great. Researching and came across this video. Subscribed now...
Awesome, thank you!
Never wanted to keep bees but i they took up house in my old pigeon boxes. Had a hive relocated 2 years ago. Now I got another one. They sure love my old pigeon boxes!
Thank you for being so informative I'm starting up in Florida I'll comment about how I do!
I love Florida and envy you!
...would like to start a bee keeping & harvest my own ho eyed too, Hope to be able to do it....
Just watched your video -thanks for sharing !
