    Remember science is a method of observation not a religion. Thanks for all the great videos.
  • @sledmaker02
    Your coffee time is an eye-opener as a mind-opener thank you for the insight.
  • @nikigores8774
    Hi David, appreciate the coffee talk...great point!
  • @MY-lc8zf
    I am subscribed to you and a few other youtube beekeepers and y'all are my beekeeping club.
  • @bradgoliphant
    Living with a an attitude of Open-Mindedness is what sets us free. We let go of our "beliefs" which are always based on perceptions and not truth. Well said David.
  • @Kevin_Dyke
    Man all these great videos are perfect for when I start my 2 hives next spring!
  • Wisdom! Thank you for the information sir; bees and life. Be blessed.
  • I'm glad you brought up the findings with Ag chems. A resent study showed how bees collect certain pollens and tree resins that are added to their honey for heath, healing and detoxing their bodies. As the researchers found honey is the bee's pharmacy and sunflower pollen was the most wanted of the other pollens or tree resins.
  • @Peter_Gunn
    Good video and coffee time. I wish everyone could be more open minded. Stop all this decisiveness. The world would be such a happier place.
  • Thank you for sharing your bee wisdom an life lessons. Spring of my 6th year bee keeping. You have been such a huge help over the years.
  • @johnlawler3353
    Awesome that you did this video. I’m going to dive into queen raising next year so along with grafting I want to have as many tools in my toolbox that I can get.
  • @MissDaizeymae
    Well I'm saving this vid for when we can all work our bees again! I have a hard time spotting my queen and have never been able to catch her. I'm trying it your way!
  • @paulajones6366
    You can always learn something new! Especially about bee keeping. I’m still looking to identify my queens.
