In those early years of beekeeping, I made lots of mistakes and took everything that another beekeeper told me as the gospel truth. It wasn’t until I figured that the advice from different people started conflicting with each other and that the ‘foolproof’ solutions didn’t always work that I had to go back to basics and make my own decisions. This talk touches on some of the basics as well as ways to save money, get free bees and how to end up with a beekeeping plan that works for you.

Thanks for the blend of humour and education Karl. I'll have to watch again and take notes to implement the parts useful to my beekeeping on a budget. In the the nicest possible taste, there's a Benny Hill resemblance!! 😄
A most enjoyable and informative talk! Karl is a very likeable guy with a keen sense of humour. I love that he does a lot of DIY and keeps the costs down.
One of the best talks I have attended. Thank you Karl.
Cracking Presentation. Thanks. I'm learning lots.
Thanks for a great informative video really refreshing
Awesome presentation
I've just caught up with this video, it made things really simple/easy to understand & I hope to put it into practice as time goes by. Thank you Carl
Glad it was helpful!
I make Lazutin hives that hold 17 double Langstroph frames same style like your hives. I put nail boards on outside because bears. Another reason I use chest like hives. I used 1.5 inch 38 mm wood for my top bars with vertical bamboo skewer in it. I drill x3 3/8 inch 9.5 mm holes in the top bars to let bee's pass frame to frame. My frames I make touch. I bought a 10 pack of Langstroph frames to start with and made my own frames after. I built a cheap plywood Lazutin swarm trap to begin with. And made the 10 Langstroph frames into 5 doubles. My queens are small enough to fit between excluder. I only go up north 3 times a year to inspect hives.
As new beekeeper you made my day many thanks .
Really enjoyed this talk. So encouraging to see someone doing things slightly differently and the bees still seem to be happy
Gives encouragement to those of us starting out
it's amazing that the Honey Bee has been here surviving for millions of years by them selves and man comes along and decides what is best for them.
some very nice looking hives you've made there Karl and some nice out of the box thinking
Excellent presentation. Thanks Carl.
Glad you liked it!
Briilant talk. Thanks Karl.

I would love to talk to karl about the pallet wood hives I build mine from construction dumpster wood.
Hopefully, a talk is in the pipeline!
I use pallet wood for everything and found that the European pallets are the best, they are 13/16 thick.. I also find that it's best to use the wood with in a couple days of taking the pallet apart, or it will warp and cup if left unused in a pile. there is a name EPAL on the pallets and the guy where I pick them up told me they were from Europe. probably are because most of their products come from S.A . and France
