When I was a kid, I would sit in amazement and watch the honey bees come up and fan my mom's face as she worked in her flower garden. Just like they would fan a queen in the hive. She never ever got stung. She had the same vibe as Meg. Just an incredibly tough, but sweet, woman of many talents.

Very cool hive design! (Random FYI - the Mrs. Coghill Farm KZfaq Channel has 2 videos within the last month or so that are amazing resources for learning how to read the hives, measure progress, clean them, etc. They have 40 acres in AL and host 10 hives for a beekeeper in the area that then shares some of the honey for hosting the bees. The beekeeper did an incredible job of teaching and illustrating different facets of the process and it was amazing to see how much change occurred in 2-3 weeks as they shifted from sugar water to spring pollen, etc.)

Thank you for telling us about the extra gentle honey Bees. I live in a city and I was about someday getting one hive to pollinate my garden, but my neighbors are suspicious of anything that doesn’t come from a grocery store. They complain about everything and tell me that this is the city and if I want to grow food I need to sell my house and move to the country where I won’t bother anyone. That was an extra extra large egg. I pity the hen that laid that egg. Buggy is amazing! Every video she has grown bigger, smarter and more beautiful. What a treasure she is.

Hey…2 interesting things I know about bees: if you get stung, rub some mud on sting. Almost instantly neutralizes the pain. When I was a kid in San Diego, the San Diego History Museum had (maybe still has) a part of a wall open from both sides so we could see an active bee hive. The inner wall was covered with plexiglass. It was sooooo cool!

Cute! Meg is a keeper, a bee keeper! Horizontal hives are better for getting the bees through the winter. The frames are deeper with no gap the bees have to "jump" to feed from in the winter. Dr. Leo prefers these hives. I think they are called Layens frames vs. Langstroth frames. Nice job with the bees Meg! Lots of eggs! Thanks for sharing your muffin recipe with us Meg! Beautiful muffins! Yum, potstickers and rice for dinner! Thanks for this video Hollar family!

Meg - Ariel of the Fy Nyth channel has horizontal beehives and has a playlist titled Honey Bees. the horizontal hives were fairly new to her, though she was familiar with beekeeping from her childhood. I think you will find her knowledge, tips and tricks useful for taking care of your new hive. She lives in the mountains of Wyoming so has low temperatures and snow for 7-8 months of the year, which means she has to insulate the hives. Ariel has split her hives and now has three active hives in just 18 months or so. She explained the use of the "doors" in detail.

I was watching "mrs. Cog Hill" at Her and Marycarls channel and mrs. Coghill was asking a lot of very good question concerning all of the beehives that their friend has put on the property I think there's like 10 or 13 beehives now on the property and she was so instructive and informative I think that was probably one of the best videos I've seen on the classification of the names of what you call what they do inside their hive. It would be very exciting and so rewarding to have your own beehives. Interesting to see how many beehives y'all will have on your property. Hopefully all of them will be nice and calm...
