Great video as always. I am taking your ultimate bee course and I highly recommend it, very informative

Teaching my friends about beekeeping, and just sitting in front of my hive watching them for hours brought me the most joy this year. I already miss them.

For me the thing I enjoy most about bee keeping is how relaxing it is. Don't know how many days this past summer that just flew by. I'd start doing something with the bees then next thing I'd know it'd be three hours later.

I am new this year to bee keeping and watching your videos gets me more excited of learning all I can to take care of my bees. Just want to say thank you for all the help you give.

I think the most joy this season is watching your videos. No stings, just sit there and absorb information.

Bees are still alive😊

I’m a new bee keeper this year, currently taking your courses. I got two colonies in April, and wasn’t expecting to get much honey but got 110 lbs while leaving a medium super on each hive plus what’s in the deep brood box. Did a walk away split with success and did three cut outs so I now have 5 colonies. They all have survived -5 degree F nights. Cold for Arizona. So been a good first year. Thanks for your videos and courses.

I'm brand new at beekeeping I don't know anything so I am looking and reading everything and going to take some classes. I will start my first box this spring. Thank you so much for the viedoes. Karen

First year beekeeping and had a drought so did a lot of feeding. Really enjoyed seeing how fast they build out comb and put in honey (when we actually had some nectar!). Hoping I’ve got them built up and protected enough for the North Dakota winter. Thanks for the videos!

I caught my first swarm in 2022 and it was a hoot! Started 2022 with two hives after losing two in 2021. Finished 2022 with five hives. Fingers crossed they all make it to spring!!

Thank you for another great video. I am a first year and purchased the whole series online and completed it. Still have to mail in my worksheets. I absolutely learned so much and how much I did wrong this year. These classes from basic to wintering are highly recommended. I can't explain how much I love this and what these bees have done to my spirit. I can't wait to build more and healthier colonies this coming spring. Thank you

I beekeper from Indonesia. And i like your videos. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍👍

First year keeper in south arkansas. Love your videos. Just found you yesterday. Have so many questions so I’m going to buy your course on ultimate bee keeping. Thank you and keep up the great work!!!🐝🐝🐝

Appreciate all the time and effort you put into your podcast and to your team behind-the-scenes

Discovered beekeeping February of this year, I've enjoyed learning about the hobby, and I'm constantly humbled by how much I have to learn. I'll be starting my first pair of hives this coming spring, thank you so much for the education you provide.

Ha David when I work my bees if I am stressed about any thing they relax me they are so peaceful they are just so much a joy to tend to them Have a great day

🧡🐝🧡 my backyard beekeeping book came in, I’m so excited!! Love your videos! The last few years I feel God is leading me in this direction.

Seeing the bees happy and working hard to make lovely honey. Also when they come through the winter and re appear in the spring is quite magical too. People go mad for the honey too it’s straight off the mountain.

I enjoy your coffee time talks.

Question? Why do I need to add food for my bees? My hives have 2 deeps and I allow them to keep the lion share of their honey. I add the queen excluder and put mediums on during non winter months. Are people not leaving enough honey for the bees to survive the winter?

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! Got my courses and am excited to get started on that. It will tide me over until Spring. My favourite thing is just watching the bees do their little bee things. I find it endlessly fascinating.

Subscribed 5/9/24. Great videos and resource information. Thanks Mr. B!!!!!

that propolis....so v aluable

I loved beekeeping but i don't much about the beekeeping.. still I'm learning from KZfaq so much that now I'm thinking to start beekeeping as my main job instead of part time job.. thank you for the video n keep uploading 🐝

What I enjoyed most is the fresh honey 🍯 on my biscuits

Happy Thanksgiving, all my bees are looking great thanks for all your input .

I like your T-shirt

Great blogs David , lots of great help 🐝👍

In Denmark we feed the bees with 15 to 18 kg sugar (dry mass) as syrup….it last the whole winter.

Happy Thanksgiving David and Family, We took your beekeeping classes last fall and winter. We started learning to graft and raise queens this summer so I would have to say that was one of the top high ligjts for me and my son.

Thank you for the information

You just got my money for 7 courses. Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! I have enjoyed this year with you as my mentor at BeeTeam6. Keep up the good work. I needed more winter-b-kind boards this year. UPS says they are arriving tomorrow! Hooray!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family❣️🦃 loved looking in on your hives

Happy thanksgiving! Your videos are great and my bees are happier for it. Weird weather here in no. California. I live at 3500 ft and have not had first frost and bees are still active and feeding

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family just got the 6 classes this morning

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. This video is just in time for me to put on the candy board...I was a little intimidated to add it. Now I can do it with confidence to doing it right. I probably wouldn't have smoked it...now I know better 😉

Ha David great video good to see you hope u have a great week

Happy Holidays to you & your family.

Happy Thanksgiving day!

Great video. Please tell us about how to market your bee in the market?

Me?? I just love watching the girls grow an multiplying. Sure I love the honey 🍯 but I more love giving them a safe home. While this might might sound stupid, an is a lot of work BUT! I find beekeeping a relaxing stress reliever.. even the occasional love bite from a defensive girl…

May be good to leave the burr comb on top of frames in case candy drops. This would prevent the candy from dropping flat onto the frames and possibly killing a few bees.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family

Dave i am just a beganer but i use ro bee keep

Happy Thanksgiving. I enjoy your videos. When you make your honey be kind , if you mix the protein powder with the sugar first before adding water it will dispel it without clumps. w clumps

Happy Thanksgiving Dave

Happy Thanksgiving from Canada

Will you be resupplying your new book soon, sure do hope so, added to my wish list,,,,happy holidays

Really enjoy your channel. I live in New Brunswick Canada on the International border with Maine. In fact the only thing that separates us is a mile wide St, Croix River on the Bay of Fundy and Gulf of Maine. The weather is similar to yours so I subscribed to your channel. i've had bees for 2 years and still overwhelmed if I'm doing it right. Still watching. Oh, by the way today is your Thanksgiving so all the best to our good neighbours to the south.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

Did you say it was only 32 F degrees? Isnt it too late for them to warm resin off the trees and make propolis and seal again?

Happy Thanksgiving day

Thank you for information sir I looked from by Nepal

I have been feeding my Bee's your recipe, how much and how often should i feed? They currently drink up a gallon of 1-1 sugar water in a day?

Why, on the single deep, is a frame missing? I'm sure there's a reason, but I don't know what. I'm interested in starting a hive and I'm learning about the care. Good videos David!

How much protein is in the boards

Last night was -5° in Northwestern NM. I'm worried. I'm new without a clue! Don't want chicken feed. Am insulating hives. Hope I'm not too late.

Would you consider making these for Layens hives?

Dave i am just a beganer but i use to bee keep a long time ago kind of lost the nak of it so can you refrash my memory an thank you

Hey David, love your channel. Quick question: I've seen so many recipes for candy boards on KZfaq, it gets confusing. I have made my boards with the insulation like you show them, and plan to use sugar, little bit of vinegar, water, winter b kind and pollen substitute. The ratios of all of these seem to be the thing in questions. Mostly around the pollen and winter b kind. How much of it should i include when mixing with 10lbs of sugar?

is there a current waitlist for more winter bee kind boards if you make them after thanksgiving if so how can I get on the list?

Would one of these work in Alaska?

Can I use this for starting a new colony?

How long does it take for the bees to go through a candy board?

I am having trouble with small hive beetles. I have tried about everything out there to rid my hives of them and nothing seems to work very well . Guardian entrance doesn’t work . I have applied beetle buster bottom board and that seems to help but it is almost impossible to keep them out . Any suggestions ?

Thank you for another great video and please 🙏 if you do decide make more I'd order 4 candy boards and send you a gift 🎁 for Christmas 🎄 like some smoke salmon from wa state:)

Would you add a candy board in warm winter climates like south alabama? Or feed sugar water as much as possible and add sugar cakes if needed for a few cold days?

What size are the holes in the jar lids?

we are in northern mn. 60 miles south of the fort francis canadian border. Would the wintering of our bees be done the same, or are ther more steps that need to be done?

Do you care to share your link for the candy boards on your website

I have always been taught to not open the hive under 50 degrees

Laughs in bee swarm simulator and not needing to feed my bees

where can i get bees?

Do you ever experience any mold from moisture and sugar?

So how long will the winter be kind last in a really cold winter like in saskatchewan Canada thks

Hey Dave, I noticed many of your hives are located near a building. Mine is at the edge of a field, SW facing with a tree line as a back drop. Should I move it to a more sheltered area for winter? I’m in Maine and we are dipping into the teens at night 30’s during the day. I have wrapped my hive, but wondering is it necessary to move it?

Is it too late in the year to order and add to my hives?

Is there a link for the winter bee kind product? Thank you

David, how do I let you know I need 2 10 frame candy boards, should you decide to make a few more?

Will I get certified with your course?

Dave, how long does a winter b kind last? We are in South Carolina. Thanks

Hey Dave! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Question: why does the 1st hive you inspected not have an inner cover?

Hi! Thank you so much for your videos, I've learned so much from you as a first year beekeeper. I live in Utah and have a full honey super I left on the hive for winter. Would you recommend the honey bee kind and a full honey super? Or just one or the other?

I’m new at this and didn’t know about your “winter bee kind” So sorry you don’t have any more. 😢😢

what is the recipe for the candy board

Why feed at all if you just left the proper amount of HONEY the bees rely on for their health?

That’s right David keep pounding on the hive, that’ll break the cluster.🙄

Every time I Check last two years you are sold out on winter be kind candy boards.... bummer....

Plz Sir give me send beekiping lifecycle cart table

You had many good videos but after all these years i still don't understand why you believe in candy board nonsense. It's expensive and time wasting. I feed my bees and end feeding Middle September then i open then up in march...

It’s 17 degrees here in northern Maine and it will be 12° by morning. I won’t be opening my hives for a while. Happy thanksgiving!
