Thank you for the feedback. Best wishes for the New Year - especially if you begin the adventure of beekeeping!

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Really glad to hear that the video might be of help for someone. I know when we were preparing to extract we had to look for bits and pieces of information all over the place, so we wanted to try and put things in one place. Happy beekeeping!

Glad it could be of help - thanks for watching!

Thank you! And thank you for producing such fine American made equipment!

Thank you! God bless!

i guess im asking randomly but does anybody know a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost the password. I would love any assistance you can offer me!

@Kyree Zayd Instablaster :)

@Julius Jeremy i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Julius Jeremy it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my ass !

@Kyree Zayd happy to help =)

We use 8 frame bodies and pulled from 8 hives. Ha! That would be nice if Maxant did, but I'm happy just to point people to quality products sold at a reasonable price.

Thank you for taking the time to comment and share such kind words. Enjoy your journey into beekeeping! It's not always easy, but is one of the great joys of our homestead. God bless!

Thank you! God bless!

Thank you!

Thank you for the feedback. Best wishes - enjoy your bees!

Thanks, Scott - wonderful feedback about the honey, pretty amazing feedback actually! Not rude at all to ask questions! Yes, aside from our oldest daughter who was on a mission trip, everyone helped with at least some part of the processing, bottling, or wax rendering. Chantal and Isaac were the most involved in the hive work with the actual bees. As to learning how to do it, I would say it was a combination of books, online articles, and definitely KZfaq videos. The reason we wanted to make this video however, was that we hadn't seen any that really covered the entire process. So we had to watch a bunch of different videos about different aspects of the process as well as things not to do like putting out equipment for the bees to clean up. Yes, beekeeping has a REALLY big up front investment, including the cost of the bees if you can't raise your own. All of the equipment does get expensive, but assuming all of the honey sells (now and in the future), it should eventually pay for itself. As to honey harvests, we are probably more conservative than some beekeepers. This is our third summer with bees and first honey harvests. We might be able to get another harvest at the end of summer, but have to leave the bees enough honey to get through winter. We actually had many more frames of uncapped honey that we decided to leave for a future harvest. We'll see how things go because this is the time of year when nectar producing flowers are less prevalent. Thanks for asking the questions - happy to share information about the bees! Blessings to you and yours!

Life in Farmland 😂😂😂 YES!!! You and I are just about alike. With the kids helping, we were pretty much finding honey spots everywhere for a couple of days! But man was it worth it - the honey is amazing!

Life in Farmland You might want to consider building a swarm trap next spring. They're easy to build and great for free bees. Or I'd love to hang one of mine at your place!

Becker's Backyard Homestead Thanks! Yes we were really happy with the amount and quality of the honey. Here's to hoping you guys also have a great harvest!

Thanks for the feedback. Hope to have more this summer - but there is a long story - mostly that as the main person doing our videos, I've recently been diagnosed with a very rare disease (have probably had it a long time) that brings with it one symptom of having particularly bad allergic responses to bee stings (anaphylaxis). Hoping to start Venom Immunotherapy Treatment this summer - until then, I'm not as excited to get around the bees.

St. Isidore's Farm oh sorry to hear , green house videos will have to do . I hate getting stung and have 4 hives

Oh btw, I am from Uganda and together with my wife, we own a 5-acre passion fruit orchard and wish to enter the bee rearing activity to certainly enhance the pollination of passion flowers but as well, earn an extra buck from primary production of honey. I was very happy to find your video on KZfaq and had to play it over and over again, just to listen to every detail you spoke above. Kindly share you email address with me on lukwagoroy@gmail.com and I will share the pics and video of our orchard. Cheers and God bless, Martin Roy.

You're welcome! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. To my knowledge there is no oil in honey. God bless!

Thank you for watching and subscribing. The property in Brazil sounds incredible. As to information about beekeeping, I'd say everything from everywhere you can - I believe the old saying is ask ten beekeepers a question and get at least eleven answers. But this is a good site: www.bushfarms.com/bees.htm Not going to lie, beekeeping is both amazing and very challenging. It's also expensive. Equipment and bee costs add up quickly, and then it's hard when you lose them, which you will do eventually. Ahh, but the reward is awesome if you get it. I guess I'd also look to see if Africanized Bees are an issue in Brazil. And follow beekeepers on Instagram - you can learn a lot there actually. OK, best wishes and God bless you for your work with orphanages!

Thanks so much for your reply.I'll check out that website. I've ben watching so many videos and reading a lot of resources, but I guess the learning will truly start when I get hands on. I went to your website and read all about what you're doing. I love it. I sent you guys an email. Blessings

Maxant and good question on the price - should remember, but don't. Sorry!

We have 14 now. We would like to grow to about 20 and see if we can maintain that for a while before we consider having a much larger apiary.

Not if you're careful.

Thanks St. Isidore's Farm! That's great. I only want to purchase from local beekeepers that support safe practices.

Wal mart has them beside the left handed dildos.

Jackson Carlo Ollero Well, that’s why we didn’t buy them. Thanks for watching.

They wouldn't be heavy enough. It would still move and likely shake them off very quickly.

yohjo kromwood Yes, we left all of the hives plenty of honey, plus the still have a few months to gather more nectar.
