Those are some calm bees!

Wow, awesome watching you find and then mark the queen! I'd be scared I'd rip her legs or wings off, scared ill squish her!! Two of my hives now have unmarked queens.
-
I love the phrase SMACK DAB!!
-
Yes sir, I don't think I can count the number of times I've had to work bees in the rain. Sometimes you just gotta get it done. Thanks for sharing.

❤ I got lucky Monday 😂😂 walked outside with my cup of coffee looked up at the sky AN? hanging in the eaves trough was a swarm of about 5~6 pounds of bees out of a big hive that should of been split.. grabbed a 6 frame trap( yes i built my traps for 6) gives me a little extra time to move them home. Anyhow 😅😅 was one of the easiest I ever had. No ladders no tree limbs 😂😂😂
-
Great information! Unfortunately, my colonies were exposed to pesticides by farmers. From 6 to 1... I'm waiting to see if my last colony survives.
-
Yip. We say smack dab all the time here in Barbados. :o)
-
I love how calm your girls are.. mine always get pissy when I start looking around!
-
I believe i witnessed the Grand Finale of one of my hives swarming. When i got to my Apiary, the sky was full of bees, and it was very loud. Within just a minute, they were moving into the woods. I tried to keep up to see where they went, but the roar of bees was soon in the distance. Of course, they went the opposite direction of my swarm trap. It was kind of a disheartening feeling but was expected.
-
Awesome job getting it done in the rain! I love your videos and I took all your classes. You have made beekeeping even more of a joy! Thank you for everything you do for us viewers. ❤

Thank you very much David for your lesson, I get better understanding of bees’ life 🐝👑

The new bee yard looks nice😊

Thank you, very rewarding to watch, I lost a hive, very heavily on in fact, I had no clue, I had no education on this, I was just trying to do something, but two years ago I received a nuke, placed it in a hive, not a 10 but smaller, how did I know that the family grew at an alarming number? I had no clue. I noticed a long time later that the whole hive was covered with bees, and lots flying around like they were getting attached, man I'm still sick. So I try learning more and more, you have helped me unknown to you. Thank you again.
