Beekeeping starts with a 3 pound package of bees or a five frame nuc. Today, we will inspect both after two weeks and determine which one is winning so far. If you are new to beekeeping or you keep failing, I strongly recommend you take my Ultimate ONLINE Beekeeping Course.

Also in this video we will learn about queen cups, how to identify various substances in cells, such as pollen, nectar, honey, eggs, and larvae. And in this video we'll enjoy another coffee time at the end. Today's coffee time is about learning that you are good enough.

We'll give a starlink update as well as announce our last winner. This and more.

    This has to be the best vdo on hive inspection i have ever seen. This my 2nd spring with bees. Ty so much. I love your course also.
  • My daughter just turned 10. She has been watching your videos for about 2 years. Then she tells me all about how to care for our two hives. Thank you for doing this for us. Colleen and Alyssa Lacy. We enjoy very much.
  • As a new bee keeper. I Really liked your camera work on the frames telling us what you see on the frames and then pulling one and asking us what we see. Makes us think and apply what your teaching. Very informative!
  • A hive inspection video plus a motivational talk? What a great way to start the day!
  • @DooleyBFR
    my name is Casey Dooley! I am a growing beekeeper! I love my bees! all stings are my fault! Ive learned alot about smoking my bees! I now copy what you showed us! I do it your way and it works! I Thank you for taking time to encourage us! I lost my Dad a few years back! I bet you are a great Dad!! So now you are my bee dad! Love you and God Bless you!!!
  • ...64 and starting with some bees this spring...you are a master, and you are good with helping people inside and out...Thanks Dave ! , excellent videos !...
  • I just want to say thank you so much for the time and effort that you put into your videos. I appreciate your knowledge on beekeeping and how you present it. I've watched lots of your videos in preparation for getting my own bees. I'm super excited about becoming a bee keeper :) I especially appreciate this video for the coffee talk time. You were so genuine in expressing that what you do on any certain day is "good enough" for that day. You brought up examples that hit home for me and I realized that I have been beating myself up for not "being good enough, or doing enough". I cried at the realization that I could let go of stress that isn't serving me and that I could enjoy my life more. Thank you for the gift :)
  • Thank you so much for creating content on YouTube you’re absolutely inspirational and encouraging. I love your positive and upbeat attitude on life and challenges that come your way. The way you teach is also marvelous. It keeps me engaged and makes me even more enthusiastic to be a bee keeper in my near future.
  • @blakegprince
    Hi David, I sure enjoy you taking the time sharing all your knowledge on bee keeping. I wish they're more people like you who can put their energy in positive thinking. I enjoyed the coffee time with you. Thanks again!
  • Thanks for the message it feels like I'm listening to my Dad's advice.. I miss him very much but this is a very good alternative. Feeling good about the next chapter in my life now. Thank you!
  • @subencalooksup
    David, thank you so much for your words of encouragement at the end of this video. While my doubt was not beekeeping related at the moment, your words profoundly touched me and were extraordinarily timely. God places even two year old videos in our way to help validate and guide us 🙏❤
  • @aldojer5053
    Thank you so much for your encouraging words. I just finished my heroes to hives course from the University of Michigan. I'm hoping I can find someone by me who I can shadow. So that I can gain some hands-on experience. Please keep up the good work that you are doing. I look forward to watching every single one of your videos. Stay safe sir and God bless
  • @coryrobbins7023
    I’m wanting to start my first hive either this spring or next and your videos have been by far the most educational and easiest videos for me to understand. I love it, thank you for passing on the knowledge
  • @wonderly8542
    One year later drinking coffee !! That im good enough is the key reason, i wannebee a beekeeper. So to mention im learning a lot from the bee lover youtubers. Thanks a lot
  • @wendykruk1288
    You are touching my soul with all you are saying thank you!!
  • Loved this video David! I’m going through a rough time and I’m looking at bee keeping as a way to keep busy. I struggle with feeling like I’m not good enough. I have been told this as someone with autism my whole life. However I’m fascinated with bees and want to learn more. I don’t know how to say your video has gave me the encouragement I desperately needed but it has. I just can’t thank you enough for that. I guess what I’m trying to say is it felt like you made this video just for my. Thank you thank you thank you
  • @gregpugh3275
    Just gaining some interest in bee keeping. You've done such a great job, David! SO informative, I've been getting the odd little giggle out of your videos. Thanks so much for making them!
  • My mom taught me when you're feeling down or having a rough day, do a good deed for someone. It works. Totally flips the attitude switch. The power of kindness...
  • @onewithyall
    Coffee time has really helped me. I'm a very creative person and so is my wife. Lately I've not been feeling good enough. I know that I am an expert carpenter and wood worker. I have taken on remodeling our kitchen during the pandemic and not been well, contributing financially equally with my wife. I don't feel good about that. Your last Coffee Time was inspiring. Thank you. Whit Adams.
  • I really appreciate seeing the two types of bee's; packages/nuc. I am thankful for your coffee time. SPOT ON DAVE!!!
