Aloha, something I have been wondering about: I see a lot of beekeeping videos and I've noticed a lot, but not all, beekeepers put a brick or rock or something heavy on the lid. Why?
You know I have never done been keeping but grow tons of flowers and pollination plants but watching your videos has encouraged me to do this one day if I can afford some more land. Thank you for your videos.
Well put together presentation. Thank you for sharing this information. I like the idea of smoking my clothes as well just in case. I did hear that we should be cognizant of how much we smoke the bees. I want to learn so much more.
@@kentuckyagriculture I would've except the new neighbors have a kid that's deathly allergic to bees... The wife told me it's probably not a good idea if something happens, they'll say it's our fault... 🤷 Sick of walking on eggshells.
In any case it's better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it u can also develop allergies to things ur around Alot or perhaps get stung by several times not saying don't talk to the doctor I would say dying from ur throat closing shut would be a rough way to go could be wrong tho and id rather have preventive steps in place u do u
As a child, we did not know that I was allergic to bees. When anyone was stung, a wet TEA BAG was applied. So I never had adverse reaction. Unfortunately, while I was in a class at military school, I was stung. I requested a tea bag to self treat. I was informed that, "you'll be alright". In minutes I was taken to the emergency to be treated. I was then told to carry an epip pen. I did even even after leaving the military for about 10 years. Went back to using a TEA BAG. More affordable. In the past 20 years, approximately, I have not any problems if stung. I wish the best to anyone who gets stung.
Not at all! Although the connections made at a local bee association are invaluable, if you don't have access to one there's tons of resources online and at local extension offices to help you get started with beekeeping.
I love your presentation. It’s very good.

Hi there! This is is order to prevent unwanted critters from knocking off the lid and getting into the hive. Added security for the bees!

Extremely useful! Thank you!

Did you ever decide to give it a go?!

Well, before the epipen, I'd get checked to see if I'm allergic by a doctor.
Correct!
Lmao u don't have to b allergic to have an anaphylactic reaction when stung multiple times before the doctor more research helps
@@boboh8209 So go in blind? Is that what you're saying?
Tell you what - the professionals concur with my precautions. You do you.

I am intesrting to work
I have never used a smoker and i have been a beekeeper for 15 years.....
So basically if you dont live anywhere near a city that has an association to go to for a year then don't keep bees? Lol
