Way to go, Andrew. Right to the point and nicely filmed!

Thank you, Jim! I was so worried everyone would feel it drags on. But I committed to making it comprehensive instead of so many "Fluff" videos out there. My goal here is to create an archive of solid info, with entertainment value taking back seat to applicable information.

Thank you Andrew for showing and explaining the QTS Method. I will be applying this method as well. Great video. Keep pumping more down to earth videos like this one. ❤️🐝

Gladly, Dylan! I'm happy to walk you through it with your bees when the time comes. Will be exciting to see you make your own increase & resource hives!

Thank you Andrew for an awesome video, I will definitely be trying OTS this year. You completely helped demystify the whole process - I am looking forward to finally raising my own queens.

Honored to be "The Guy" archiving this info, Tom! It was initially mysterious to me too, which is why I brought Mel Disselkeon to Charlotte for a Saturday seminar 5 years ago...was pretty sure I had it down by that point, but there's no substitute for being taught first-hand in your own bee yard!!! Bonus was taking Mel to lunch and dinner to talk one-on-one through basically, his entire book and wholistic management program. Definitely felt like a once in a lifetime opportunity! LESSON: Never shy away from reaching out to the "Big Guys." I've never had one turn me away!

Good stuff, Andrew. I bought Mel’s OTS book last year. Now I just need to work out how to build enough boxes and frames!

Fantastic, George! You raise a critical point. I always recommend owning TWICE the gear you think you'll need as a bare minimum. Depending on specific flows where you are, that's likely 5-6 boxes per complete hive setup, plus one or two nuc setups per hive. Sounds excessive to some, but it's ALWAYS better to be prepared rather than scrambling ;-) Best, Andrew Thiessen

Agree. Let's raise the beekeeping bar with the next generation of beekeepers and teach queen rearing. Afterall, the bees pretty much do all the work.

Here, here! "Aim Higher" is my motto. So often we settle into routine and accept "Good Enough." F that mindset. We not only could, but SHOULD do better. My Mentees' worst days should be better than my best day. It's my duty to refine and share EVERYTHING my Mentors taught me...collaboration beats competition every single time!!!
