I love your videos with the feral bees and that, but these, I think are my favorites. The ones where you take us all around your very own yard and just talk about what you're doing or have done and hope to do. I'm just livin' the life like my husband and I used to before losing the house with 11 acres. Dang, I miss that. We live in some of those subsidized housing thingys. It's a sad day.

Randy, I was certainly glad to see your dad in this video. He seems to be getting around pretty good even though he’s using 2 canes! Keep him moving as much as you can and maybe he will park one of those canes and go on a few more cutouts with you! You got more bees there than I would know what to do with. Keep the videos coming and we’ll keep watching them!

I did a walkaway split 1 week ago. Since then the main hive has been very aggressive and will attack if you get in where near it (30-40 ft. away). Has stung 3 people so far that was not near the hive and when they got my wife on the porch she was ready to gas them. What would cause this? Should I just plan on replacing the queen? It has been a very strong hive and some what aggressive (8-10 ft.) in the past but not like now. I thought they would settle down in a couple of day but does not look like it going to happen
