I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been “FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much MORE!

THEIR HAMBURG TASTE LIKE STEAK!!!
Susan Smith lol!! What is hamburger but ground steak 🥩...I remember a commercial on TV years ago that went something like that.
wonder if they is any farmfoods in AUS... need to check it out
lovely well done Bee hive
@Free Speech I think Dr. Leo advocates that there are cover boards set above the whole colony, that way when you open the lid the hive it is still enclosed. You remove these small boards only over the area that you wish to inspect, this ensures that the disturbance to the bees is minimal. You can check for honey and leave the brood intact, or you can uncover only one or two frames at a time and check each brood frame without disturbing the whole. The use of follower boards is also advantageous. Check out some of the long langstroth hive management videos, they explain it very well.
Grew up with one bee hive but did that hive produce. Just love bees and you adventure may lead me to have them once again.
Seen a flashback video clip from Weed’em and Reap yesterday of Hope when she was a baby, looking at her now it’s hard to remember her that little.
she has grown so much!
Regina Gibson ... never did get that far back in my binging ... just went and found it ... Darling Hope was such a cute kid ... now a beautiful young lady.
Failure and mistakes are simply opportunities to learnmore
Note to self. DO NOT MAKE THE TOP HEAVY. It will rip right off the hive.
Good morning! 🇨🇦
Willow is starting to look nice and round.
Can we get the link to where you got your bee's? we live in VT and love the hive, we are going to try bee's again.
You aout to put the water away from the door so it doesn't freeze
Maybe they waste the hay on purpose so they don't have to stand on the snow.
The goats are demonstrating the first rule of the army - never leave a man behind. I'm guessing the same is true for goats. Or maybe they want to make sure Al hasn't forgotten where the feeder is. :)
Close off gable ends of hive. Wasps will make it home.😎Beautiful Hive
love your channel!! you inspired us to get chickens and we already have the bees.. thankyou for being such a wholesome family channel.. my son loves watching you too.. he is handicap but older so you teach him very good life lessons in a positive way unlike most tv shows.. thankyou for being you. 🤗🤗
Wendy Ann Jim
Al you have great skills Sir, wonderful video
The bee roof isn’t enclosed, when bees swarm, they could move upstairs. “I know nothing about bees, but I love honey.” Great job Al. You built a bee tank, lol.
Best part of the morning... waking up to a cup of coffee and Al's friendly gooood morning.
That's my morning also expect weds when he doesnt have a video for that day !
@Maybe Smithe im in Az right now and im up at 4am to be to work by 6a so i start my day with coffee and this beautiful family
Yes indeed...I get up early enough to get hubby's lunch packed and coffee made before Al comes on and we watch together before he leaves for work.
@@sharibushnell190 I used to live in Yuma. Have family living in Tucson.
@@cajuncookingdan Im in Maricopa
I see that most every time you push a piece of wood through the table saw, it gets hung up on the lip of where the miter saw is/ goes, I have a idea of how to stop it, take a small piece of metal, aluminium or steel, 2 in wide or so, put a slight bend in it and mount it on the left lip, reaching across the saw while its running is some bad juju, project is looking good!!!
You will need to splay the legs on your beehives, otherwise the first big gust of wind and they will fall over.
Id be concerned that with those legs the hive will be top heavy and unstable. Use a piece of corplas sprayed with PAM, that will catch the varroa and hive beetles.
They could put a cross bracing from front to back with a 1' extension in the front & back or maybe put them in cinder blocks.
Off Grid With Doug & Stacey had a bee expert visit their homestead last year. He suggested adding COLOR to your BEE BOXES to ATTRACT the bees. Maybe cover the inside and outside with colorful vinyl or paint?
Yes, bees orient themselves by color and shapes to find food and home.
Time for Gina signs mounted above each landing/in port.
What will she craft, flower shapes, bright graphics in loud colors?
You have created a space under the roof that might be attractive to other insects, like wasps. Should you enclose the triangles under the roof?
That or could the bees could pick the roof? I have see wild bees do some weird things, never owned a bee hive box.
screened off is good
Some 1/8 wire cloth would do the trick and still leave air passage.
You may have to use a window screen.
I was a bit surprised he did such intricate work in the beam that creates the angle of the roof. Each end will always be noticable, but the cut along the middle, although stylish seems unnecessary as it is covered over.
Al did you get a message from mr brown on justin phone 🤣🤣
No was that in his video he put out last night?
Lumnah Acres did you not receive your text message from Mr. Brown. He sent you the cutest unicorn 🦄. 😂
@@LumnahAcres yeah he sent it to 11 people including you 🤭
Where I live in the UK, Shepherd's Pie is made from ground lamb, and if it's another meat like beef or pork, it's called Cottage Pie. We also add a dash of Worcestershire Sauce.
One of the best comfort meals around.
Willow really is getting a pregnant waddle on. ❤
We also add carrots, peas and bake beans..... yum. We also put the dish once cooked under the grill on full blast to really crisp up the potatoes on top
@@footplate0 Agree with the carrots and peas, and crisping up. Don't do the baked beans, though.
@@DisabledUKPrepper why not try them just once, baked beans in tomato sauce give the dish a whole new flavour and texture. Must issue a health warning though as they do give you flatulence big time !!
Our Walmart sells grass fed ground lamb!
I’ve always had Shepard’s pie that was tomato based with cheddar melted on the top. Not sure what Gina used but it wasn’t tomato🍅
Without good ventilation, you have the opportunity to have very high humidity in the hive. Also, the chemical components in the insulation can damage!
Goood morning Al and family.
Punxsutawney Phil did NOT see his shadow on Sunday, so I guess y'all will be getting the plants and seed ready a tad earlier this year. Glad to see you're bringing back the honey bees.
An early spring will be NICE!
Punxsutawney Phil has arrest warrants in three states for 'giving false information'. Look it up.
@@jackd.ripper7613 lol, now that funny right there, I don't care what anybody says.
@@LumnahAcres early spring usually means a late snow or frost here in Texas. Be careful.
Cant wait to get our bees. Will enjoy yours till then👍🌻🇨🇦
are you getting them this year?
Hi..... AL and Gina nice to see you both are doing a new tools and new project keep it up and keep smiling and keep sharing, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👨👩👧👸👕👓🐩🐔🐓🐥🐕🐖🐈🌱🐐🏡🎥👍👍👍
you should see how the Swiss make bee hives. They are awesome as the Swiss people are too. WHY IS THE LAST PART WHERE YOU ARE EATING TOGETHER SPEEDED UP BUT VOICES ARE NORMAL ?
Al, just a thought. Did you check for local apiaries for your new bees? Local, acclimated bees have a greater chance to thrive and be successful. IMHO Keep up the good work, Peace! P.S. build a couple swarm traps for your property.
Ralph Gushman they are getting their bees close to home. They’re going to be well acclimated.
@@sandravanderleek8569 Thanks, when I heard "from the internet" I mistakenly thought, "from the southern states" and IMHO local is better.
I believe he said the bees are from Canada. ☮🐝
Guy's I'm noticing more advertisers on the channel and that my friends is so awesome congratulations wow I am very proud of y'all especially Gina she's starting to talk more and we like that thank y'all so much for sharing we appreciate you thumbs up my friends
Just harvested my first mushrooms... at least I can grow those in my little apartment!
That sounds nice. From kits or DIY? Always wanted to try that, but I may have it too warm inside.
I tried myself first, failed. Decided to try a kit to learn a bit from the experience. That has been great so far. Going to try again once my mushrooms stop propagating. You are supposed to get three harvests per kit.
Good morning the weather is not so cold trying to pick up my first load in my 18 wheeler see you in the morning!!!👋🏿👋🏿👋🏿
Wow, those hives came out great. Not sure the reason that top 2x4 was cut out like that. At first I thought it was a handle, but then you put a gabled roof on it. Is the gable just decorative? I agree with @Regina Gibson, I loved seeing Hope as a baby on Weed Em & Reap yesterday. Blessings to all.
I may have missed something but hives need ventilation.
Hello. As with the potato skins. You can season them. Put them on a cookie sheet and toast them. Really good.
Why are the bees going in your backyard, just curious! Do you have a problem with visiting bears?
Shepard’s pie: if you put lines on top of the potato with a fork and add a few nubs of butter, you will get some crispy potato on the top when cooked. It’s delicious.
Was just about to say the exact same thing... that and it needs carrots
Tinman's always chasing the goats because they're eating the bark. The goats love his bark
Nicely done 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing. You should close off the holes on the side of the roof with metal cloth as it will make a nice perch for birdsto pick off your bees
You guys make my day so I want to say
Thankyou
I must say that your bee boxes are a vast improvement to the ones I've always seen on farms around here...nice looking
@Free Speech adding more frames to the side is the same as adding another box.
Good morning Al I don't think they're wasting a I think they've got cold feet so they're spreading it to have something to stand on
I've thought the SAME THING!
when you go in the house i can not hear her or you good ,sounds hollow, remote mikes will help
Goood morning Al, cold morning here as well sir, I’m up late today but that’s ok. Being retired is great. Coffee in hand so let’s get a late start on our day.
What about the triangle part on top. Are you leaving that open?
If you can figure out your cost manufacturing these for prospective bee keepers in your northern climate might provide an additional income stream. Great job by the way.
Your bee hives look amazing!! Look forward to seeing how they do. Oh, and Gina you are doing great on the camera...keep up the good work.
Gina, that looks delicious. Gonna have to make it. Btw.... I ordered some meat from FarmFoods Grass Fed. . Looking forward to getting it. Thanks for info. Your Beehives look fantastic. You guys are perfectionist at building. Be proud. Looking forward to you building more. I may not be able to build those things, but if I were, I sure would know how. Lol. 🤩🤩🤩
Another amazing build, thanks for the all of the knowledge you guys share!
I still don't understand WHY You don't use Kreg Jig Pocket Hole Joinery instead of regular wood screws !! Pocket Hole Joinery is much STRONGER !!!
I can just see a hornets nest under that roof. Close off those ends😁
i keep getting unsubscribed..just saying..who does that...some nasty algorithm probably
Hi Kids,
Would it be possible to add to your link a list of music, especially during your evening meal.
It sounds very inspirational. Thanks for all your encouragement. Gratefully yours Frank.
Frank Fuentes - Burdens by Derek Gust. You can also download Apps to identify music/songs.
The hives look great. But how are you going to keep the queen from laying eggs in with the honey comb cells? Do you have a queen separator that is vertical?
Where is the inter cover boards at? The divider boards???
Not yet installed.
In the UK, Shepherd's Pie (ground/minced lamb) and Cottage Pie (ground/minced beef), but whatever you call it they are delicious.
Cottage pie, if made with ground beef. Shepherd's pie is made with lamb. Looks delish. Love watching your channel. God bless ya'll!
Good morning Al. The hives look beautiful, makes me want to hear buzzing! I love shepards pie, I grew up using just corn between the beef and potatoes, I swear everyone else uses peas and carrots, and I just can't do it, glad to see I'm not the only one! 😄
That's why Heinz makes 57 varieties. I use peas, carrots, pearl onions and corn and my family really likes it. Gins's looked great as well.
I use a can of tomato soup and green beans, onions too. I’ve never heard of using corn, but why not. Looks good Gina! A little cheese on top
Gina, looks like I need to order your potato ricer, mine will not handle the skins. I tried once and it was a huge mess! I will check out your Amazon store list.
just ordered it and it is on its way!
I agree. I was impressed with the ease of making the mashed potatoes using the quick pot and the ricer. I will be shopping for those items that reason alone! My husband loves mashed potatoes.
We havs a maine CWC RIP plate. Where can we send it?
Hill Gardens - If you look in the *About* section of their UA-cam page you will find their address.
Hi, just bit of a correction. Sorry! i can't help it. Shepard's pie is made with lamb and Cottage pie is made with beef. Like pork is used in Hamburger and Beef in a Beefburger, and neither contain lamb. I suppose you could make a lambburger! The Vlog's are great. Keep them coming :-)
I can't wait to see how this new way of having 🐝 works!
I don't make Shepard's pie anymore cause I don't have any hungry mouths to feed but it sure looks yummy!
JO JO IN VT 💕☃ 😊
It's Cottage Pie when Lamb is not used. Shepherds Pie is made with Lamb. 🤗
BTW- Love the BeeHives.
Al don't forget to do end caps so that wasp's and mud dobbers don't build in those beautiful bee boxes. Smart thinking about not putting glue on the legs, in case of needing to replace them. Get them chicken's wings clipped, do they aren't flying up at feeding time. Much love from OHIO ❤️ ❣️❣️ ❤️
@4:14 "...we need four of 'em cut at...24" while the video clearly shows 23"? And then you cut 'em at 25"? um?
Failure? what have you failed at? Maybe some hot dogs and breaking your countertop, but that's not much! things are looking pretty successful up there IMO. Best Wishes!
A & G -bee hive perfection! If you don't have same drawn-out comb, you might consider Better Comb by BetterBee One or two frames per hive will help your new bees get a head start at building brood. Frederick Dunn has a good video explaining its value for new hives.
I hope you paint your gorgeous hives! I think I read it’s a good idea to paint them different colors...so bees can easily recognize their hive? Is that true? Gina is so creative...I bet she could have fun doing something like that with yours! Also...I think I’ve seen on bee hives that are similar to yours they put some thin slats on the inside...so when they lift the top to access and inspect the hives, they can just lift the slats for the area of the hive they are inspecting, rather than the whole hive at once. Will yours be similar...will you also be making slats to lay across the top? I’m new to bees...but have been watching lots of UA-cam videos to learn about them. It will be so much fun to watch your two new hives this year!
Nice looking beehives. It's amazing how much bees do for everything that blooms and grows. I haven't had Shephards Pie in a long time. Gina, have you ever tried cheese in it? You add it after the meat and corn, cheese then potatoes. Pretty yummy. Thanks for sharing. Always fun to watch. Be Safe
Maybe some metal sheet pans could work and instead of oil you might think about using diatomacious earth. The hive looks wonderful hopefully the bees will to. Have a great day!!! :-)
Love watching your channel but shepherds pie is with lamb beef is cottage pie 😂😂
Did you include Red and White clover in your pasture grass? This will help with your bees and nourish the soil. Also, don't take down anymore apple trees until after blooming.
In the UK we put grated cheese ( usually Cheddar ) on top of the potato. when making Cottage Pie, Shepard pie and Fishermans pie.
something seems off on the far side of your counter... 🤣🤣🤣 You guys are awesome! You make me want bees... I don't want bees! I don't have time for bees! But I now want bees!! And a duck!
Hello Al, I was watching your bee hive build and noticed you put three entrances into it. You should only have one at the end. You need to make a separation board that drops in like your regular frames. You can move it to enlarge their space as they grow. You might want to make a queen excluder also. This will make harvesting the honey easier for you because you don't have to worry about finding brood in your honey frames. Just a few thoughts to share with you to help. I love your channel and watching your projects and the animals and your family as you all share your little journey called LIFE. May God bless you and your family.
Dear Olivia. You made cottage pie. Shepherds pie is made useing lamb meat. Still looked delicious though 🇬🇧
you was right about the bird brain comment and it showed up just at the right time on the video 26:24 with your 3 comment haha (BIRD BRAIN) CAME TO MIND 'DOH'
I did a year of learning German in High School, one day we asked our teacher to teach us some swear words in German - Scheisse, it's the only German word I remember, because that was the only lesson which was fun ... or not scheisse.
If it was me I'd pick-up the hay off the ground and put it back in the feeder . Hay costs money . Sure maybe the goats don't like eating that hay off the ground but when they get hungry enough they will . People forget who's the boss . The animals or the owner .
The bee hive look great, I may have angled the bee hive legs out a bit at the bottom for stability on windy days.
good idea!
Gina.. how do you make you shepherd's pie? It looks amazing, so creamy!!
Confused dot com Shepherds Pie is usually made with Lamb, the alternative made with Beef is usually called Cottage Pie (at least that's what it is in the UK)
Time for Gina and Olivia to do their art work on the bee hives. A bee expert on Doug and Stacey said 'bees love coloúr' they use it to find their bee hives. The hives look lovely, well done. Though I think i would perhaps use some of that gauze and the triangle at the end of each end of the roof I would tack on then no other unwanted wasps or bugs can get in. Gina that cottage pie looked lovely, wish I could smell it through the computer screen. Have a great day.
Just wondering.... should the hive roof be open by sides? Won't the bees then will go in there?
Maybe cover those sides with mesh, so they can't enter, but the air can circulate under the roof?
Just my 5 cents...
Is the arched rooftop for looks or purposeful on the hives? This has been a great video.
Needed for snow-load?
After watching you make your hives & seeing your excited anticipation I saw a Quora queston about a man suing his neighbour over his bees stealing his pollen.. could he claim some of the honey.. . thought this might interest you! scholarship.law.unc.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=&httpsredir=1&article=1115&context=nclr
Don't forget to cut slats to fit on top of the honey frames . They lay on top of the frames in the same direction as the frames and cover the entire length of the hive and are between the frames and the top. Watch the video of Doug from Off Grid with Doug and Stacey, where he is setting up his new hives like yours . You will see the slats that I am talking about. I really enjoyed watching you build your hives. Bees from Saskatchewan should survive where you live as Saskatchewan generally has really cold winters.
You have a very nice family, I am glad I found your site. You seem to be a God-fearing family and that is important these days. That little girl doesn't realize how good a family life she is going to have if she keeps your value. I take my hat off to you sir, keep up the good work.
I am a retired welder. I have to use my wife's name here because I don't know how to change it to my name. I so much enjoy watching you guys work on your farm. You both like things to be the best when you work, and you do a fantastic job! Keep on rocking your vids a take great pride in your work!!
I’m not sure if you’ve named the bee hives but if your open to suggestions how about Beesville, Honey Town, or Hive City? Also do you have plans to raise cows on the farm?
Do you build the bee frames? Or order them in? Beautiful Hive Boxes! Thank you for sharing your story!
Traditional Shepherds Pie is made with lamb. What you made is Cottage Pie
Past the tipping point is the word you're looking for (nice solution with the chain) I love honey, tastes great in tea and with fruit and yogurt in the mornin'. Bee's help pollinate fruit trees as well (what fun) Many Blessings to you and your family, and here's to a bountiful future.
When the cold weather comes to your guys farm. And you guys winterize your bees could you please make a video of that. I am wanting to get some bees next year. Need to know how to winterize them
Thanks
Don't anything about Bee's . So will be a cool learning expense. So what make the bee's want too stay in the new hive ? Great video. Thanks for sharing.
I'd like to see you run a beef animal, simply because you ought to add that to your repertoire. Farm Foods beef is excellent but seriously expensive. Better to raise your own.
Thank you for your wonderful videos - I haven`t seen many faults on your part :-) I think you and your family are doing just fine! I agree, however, that it is a good thing to just try again if you do not make it the first time you try. Often it just takes another try. Many regards from Sweden!
I like the layout of the hive. I am really looking forward to following the bees, yea for fresh honey.
i saw on weed em that hope has a birthday this month. Danelle is going to breed Hopes sis in may, so they will miss the hot summer. but fern is ready now to breed. so hope should be too. can't wait to see Hope's babies too when you choose to breed her. your 2 little ones should be ready in a few months also. will those 3 have your fall babies so you can have milk all year round? I know hope is not that much older than your girls, because I was thinking back then she would have someone to play with. I can't wait to see the new babies in the spring, and I hope all 3 got bred. your going to have so much fun milking 3 goats every morning, but hopefully enough milk for all of you. I love watching ya'll in the morning and Happy Birthday Hope. Hope has had a lot to deal with in her short life but she is a spunky little thing. how many other goats can say they road a plane lol. what kind of goats are these? and what kind are you looking for? their are so many people out there on youtube raising goats too. Arms family are raising kiko goats and hidden heights has kiko and pigmy and Spanish goats. there are more but those would be worth looking at too. I like how your connecting the channels too. helping one another with different viewers. keep up the good work.
I'm very interested in what you're doing, I want to keep honey bees, but I too live in super cold climate! If this box works well, (and it looks like a great idea) we will try it too, one day!
