Bob I always enjoy the videos on Sunday. Actually I keep an eye out for them. Just wondering how your sourwood crop turned out.

Recently we visited my cousin in Homer and was thrilled she brought us to your store. We have considered having bees on our farm, so we purchased a couple books from your store that will be very helpful in beginning beekeeping. Loved your store and the girls behind the counter were very friendly and helpful.....thank you!

So many aspects in your working the colonies you have. I can relate a lot but only on a small 100-150-200 hive sideline Apairie. Though as a friend of mine in our beekeeping club says you can always learn something new about honeybees, the keeping, working, and reevaluating and adjusting accordingly is a must. For me it was a main broken branch from an almond tree in pollination in Northern California. In a wet winter the shallow root system being in soil with a lot of sand and rich valley river silt sometimes causes such a blow down of leave less trees with beginning swollen flower buds. When almonds set heavy and there are late winter early spring winds they sometimes are so overloaded with young almonds and hulls they break. A lot of winter firewood and a need to clean up the rows before beekeepers bring in their pallets of honeybees for early, mid, and late blooming varieties is a must. And just before I was going to take them out. And no chainsaw being a hour and a half away. I got it settled though. Will be prepared next time I said to myself. Yeah! And to all those growers that want hives in the middle of the orchard in shady no flying damp conditions. They don't understand that setting groups of colonies on or not with pallets in a good open air sunny spot for forager flying is the best. They are going to go to your more closer trees than to others farmers nearby orchards. And if some of them do, some of their rented bees will come over to yours also. Just a little commend sense. Blimey, Shut the door and Holy Smokes! For not taking my colonies out sooner. Sometimes a few growers want you to keep your hives in the orchard until every last almond flower is pollinated and there is a large petal fall. I keep them in for my contacts so they are happy per dollar amount/8 frame minimum average accepted. Besides I most always do queen excluder splits. Taking the best most populated hives 5 miles down the road, drop off and bring the same, knock on wood, hives back to my other contracted yard putting new bottom board and migratory cedar lids on top of the split. I then put in queens cells in the queen less ones in a day or two, couple of days and hope to get a good mating with all the other beekeepers drones in the area. Works for me. Plus there are prune orchards and fields of mustard and wild radish, spicy nectar, growing within a mile or two around these areas. Just don't make, like I did, the mistake of bringing those 5 frames of sealed brood with wall to wall bees in 10 frame deep boxes back home into the hills, 2,750' foot forest filled Elevation and not feed them because you are working long hours out of town commuting to and from home in new building construction. Then the weather turns ugly for a month and they can't get out to fly and gather food to sustain the hives and you are to busy to feed syrup and pollen patties to keep them from starving. Not to mention late winter early spring once in five to ten years 6" inch snow storms. Ask Randy Oliver and his son's about that. It sucks! Thanks for the video Bob. 🐝

Congratulations Bob 👍 on the 2014 Grand Champion award. Thanks for the tour buddy, good health and God bless

You have a magnificent company. I do see a lot of logistics involved. Thanks for being American proud.

Appreciate your transparency with all you do Bob

You have a fantastic operation there with wonderful people. You are obviously a great mentor and boss.

Nice video Bob ! Your store and business is top notch. I’m very happy to see you flying old glory inside and out!!

Congrats on winning first place Bob! That has to make all the hard work worth it. 🙂👍🏼

You are a great organizer Bob!! You have helped me bee a much better beekeeper!!! Thank you for helping all of us save the bees and bee blessed with making a few dollars along the way!

Ga I miss this place. I gotta get back there. Thanks for sharing Bob!

You are awesome bob I'm from California

Thanks for the tour

Thank you for sharing Bob. You and the team put a lot of pride and attention to details in your operation ☺️

Some really cool pictures in your shop Bob Thanks for the tour and video post

Great video and wow, what a wonderful shop!

Thank you! It’s nice to start my day off with information about bees and your business.

You can definitely see how different kinds of honey are different colors some is light and some darker I’d love to try all those different kinds yummy thanks for sharing

One of the most interesting videos I've seen for a while. I really liked the behind the scenes of the shop. I have been looking for some good video of things like this along with some sideliner to small bee and honey operations to get a feel of what I need to be looking for or into in my new bee and honey endeavors. I'm looking to be at a 50 hive operation within the next few years. Your video gave me a window into some things I hadn't thought of yet. Thanks for sharing Bob!

That was a very interesting video. Enjoyed the tour and the quick trip out into one of your bee yards. Enjoy your Labor Day!

Enjoyed the tour and the interaction with employees and customers. I’m really putting it on my list of places to visit. Thanks.

Another FANTASTIC video !!!!

This was a good sales swipe, I have to get some of those shirts!😅

Bob I really enjoy these days impromptu “Day in the life of Bob Binnie” videos. 😀

I like the taste sampling area. We give taste samples out also and it really helps our sales. Of course Molly could sell ice cubes to eskimos. LOL She cleans up nice and can work with the guys. Exceptional young lady. The tour was so interesting. We are about the same age and it is so hard to know how to move forward with projects. But my thought is keep moving forward or get out of the way and let someone else move the ship. It's always so much easier when there is a son or daughter that is willing and ready. My two cents worth.

Great job bob !! For off hip video, you provided me with a couple solutions I didn’t think about! One being samples I managed to harvest 3 different honeys this year , I’m going to offer samples at my booth at our county fair ! You sir are a blessing to so many ! God new what he was doing when he blessed you with bees !!! Blessing thank you!

Looks great on video but much better in person. Went down this past Spring to pick-up 30 queens and enjoyed the visit. If you get a chance to visit the store you won’t be disappointed!

It's nice to see clover honey. I live in Goodwin SD i got bee's on the farm clover is my fav.

Great video bob,keep them coming

Thanks for posting, I really enjoyed the tour, congratulations for your company. Kind regards from a chilean beekeeper. 🇨🇱 🐝

It was great to meet you and see your store Saturday. It was quite the trip from Texas but the highlight of my vacation.😁 I look forward to using my new double-screen board this winter to house a small hive on top of a strong hive. Thanks for all the great content.

Great tour of your business and I really appreciate your help you give out on your videos. Most people that are selling anything really don't care what you buy as long as you are spending money. ❤️🐝🇺🇸

Those photos are ace!

Just loved the sounds of how busy your store is. Congratulations!

Fun video!! Enjoyed seeing everyone! Molly sure is good with the honey! You have a great crew!

This video was wonderful thanks for doing it

That was useful info for any beekeeper, even with a few hives I have some of those issues just not at that scale. Thanks. You forgot to mention your observation hive in the store. That’s really great for children.

Such an interesting video. Thank you!

Was at your store last October visiting Warwomen WMA. Nice clean store you keep!

It's always good to get away from the desk isn't it. thank you for sharing

I noticed your samples didn't have any tallow honey, we love it down here in Louisiana. Great video.

That chainsaw sounds like a well tuned carburator. Is like a well tuned hive, crushing varroa. It's a maintenance issue.

Great video and amazingly organized! Great to see the behind the scenes operation too. 👍👍

Impressive content thanks for sharing, happy Labor day Bob 👍🇺🇲

Lots of good stuff I hope to visit you there someday

A great video bob

Great looking store Bob , hope to make it out your way one day , look around myself.

Another great video.

Thanks for the tour. You have quite an interesting operation.

Bob cant wait to meet you next month when you come to Bee Needz in sofia NC, im a big fan of your work. Thanks for all such important information you share..

Bob great video, I got the golden opportunity to meet you personally right before you went to Louisiana Bee Convention. We enjoyed talking to you as we are from Spartanburg SC. It was a great day trip and will have to do it again in the near future. Keep up the great work.

Great crew of people.

Thank You Love the Farmer-Crazy Person-Beekeeper shirt😄

25mins I have a story- I bought a chainsaw for my girlfriend for her grade 12 grad(1990) I made her my wife in sept ‘91(we dated 4 years at that point) She still has yet to use that saw. I still have it. Thanks for the great video. Keep up all your hard work guys.

Mr Bob. Please please make a tshirt with a side profile of your face in pencil and your honey quote underneath “id eat that on my peanut butter”

Bob, How did you make out with your honey drier that you were having a problem with? This is a great video. Look forward to seeing you in January. Craig

Thank you Mr. Binnie. We have the same issue over in Northwest Alabama. Seems the only people who mention Kudzu honey are in North Carolina. Lol sounds something like the Indiana Jones myth... Lol Thank you again.

Love your videos Bob

Thank you very much for the video, you have build a very impressive operation and you can see the love you and many others have put into it. Back to old school inventories like it use to be, so is it time for a new pole building for storage?

My, oh my..how lucky for you and your employee when he narrowly avoided falling face first into your running chainsaw when he caught his toe on the electric fence. Sure made me pucker and cringe. Reinforced a lesson to avoid something similar for me. Wow!

"Best of the best " The lady in red said , not far wrong , you come across as a nice man , and your employees are happy , one of your best videos , I take bets it wasn't edited ?? Peter Australia 🇦🇺 Any chance we can have a video on seth's bee operation , last one was interesting . You said in the video you got the chainsaw off your father , was he a bee-keeper. ??

I too hate paper work.. it more fun working outside.

Need to add Louisiana honey from The Bee Commander to that list 😂

Hope to see you soon . It will be an expensive shopping list . Hahaha

I wish you shipped queens...? atleast on your website it says pick up only ? I would love trying out some of your caucasian genetics next spring !! Either way the wisdom is much appreciated thank you!

Great Video, Thank you for sharing. Have you considered adding more pallet racks for additional storage? We really enjoy visiting your store.

New videos for me. Enjoy ur Bee channel , I just wondered if ur employs work ever Sunday ? Do you ever give your employees a day off ? 🤔 I hope so .

Great video! I'm sure you have plenty of ideas for more videos. Have you ever covered an apiary that specialises in pollen collection? I'd love to know more about that. Thanks for what you do.

I've found that around 80% or so of people like the first honey I give them to taste over the ones that follow.

if you took a frame of bees out of hive and placed queen on it their reaction to her would tell you if she belonged there, they would pretty much ignore her if she belonged there, get lots of ''attention'' if she didn't....

That rock star can run a chainsaw

👏👏👏👏

Great video as usual. Okay great honey and bee extraordinare... I'm looking for some kudzu honey. Do you have any connections that might be able to. Sell me a little? Again, you and your team are a credit to the bee world. Thank you!

Bob, I want to come to your store but I know it’s going to be very expensive for me. I would probably buy a bottle of every flavor of honey that you sell.

Which 8 frame spacers are those and where to buy? Love the videos! I keep learning and learning from you!

Love your content question do you know where I can order box joint machines and frames machines

Bob, you mention the queen stops laying after Apiguard application, I've just made the second application to some 6 frame medium nucs (12 MLS 1 week apart) how long can I expect the queen to be out of lay. I'm in Wisconsin and it's a concern. By the way, great video as always.

👍✌

Are those ceiling mounted fans in the drying room? I like that idea.

Hello, greetings, I am Alejandro Arce, I am a Mexican beekeeper with 28 years of experience. I am looking for a job opportunity in a bee farm. I appreciate any information. My mother tongue is Spanish. Thank you very much.

Bob, now you are bragging but you have every right too

Could you show me how to melt the wax? At 4.09 minutes, did your wax melter show up in the shot? Thanks in advance!

Funny that you say “I just don’t want to work as hard anymore” and the next thing you’re doing is wielding a chainsaw! 😂

No video this weekend ☹ hope everything alright

Congratulations on your Capital flag. Mr. Binnie where does you buckwheat honey come from?

I want to do some shopping, what's your address? Also, do you have an option for ordering online?

Bob, I’m curious, why you feel hive top feeders aren’t good for stimulative feeding?

Address for store please

Do you ship Nuc’s?

Hey Bob, sir, do you ship to Europe please?
