Beekeeping Inspection TIPS That Will Make Beekeeping Fun

Beekeeping inspection tips are so needed because many beekeepers HATE inspecting their bees. If you hate inspecting, then you will just not do it. And if you don't inspect your bees, you'll not recognize problems.

Purchase my inspection guide, download it and print it off and use it to help you know what you should be looking for during your inspections.

Keeping honey bees as a beekeeper is such a hoot. I mean, being a beekeeper is so rewarding. We need honey bees to pollinate our food and crops. Honey is so delicious. I hope you will consider the joy of becoming a beekeeper and start beekeeping today.

👀Take a look at our book that Sheri and I wrote, Backyard Beekeeping from our website and we will autograph it for you:

🎥 CAMERA GEAR I USE IN MY VIDEOS 🎥
Oh my gosh, I love my Canon M50 Mark II camera that I use to make my beekeeping videos. If you enjoy beautiful pictures or videos of your bees you'll love this camera. For the cost, by far I am so happy with this camera.

Your tip about having a video of your inspection is right on. I was fortunate to have someone video me early on in my beekeeping career. it was an incredible help for me to get comfortable with the inspection process.

[toysintheclosetshop]

HA! When I first started I thought I was the only one who hated to inspect my hives. I was so nervous and anxious I didn't do it often enough. I lost my 1st colonies. On my second try a beekeeper said 'Just do it! Once a week look into the hive and get used to the bees." Yep. Within a short time I was perfectly comfortable with the hive inspection. I continue to watch videos like yours and keep learning. The more I learn the easier it gets.

Leaving a comment as asked.
I took a beginning beekeeping class last weekend. It was a complete waste of money. Instead of ordering bees and supplies I felt like I didn’t want bees anymore. Just came across your channel and wow! I feel the fire back to have bees and am learning so much more from these videos than the expensive class. Will be taking your online course! Thank you for sharing the passion for bees and helping us learn.

[kentcostello]

You are in my top 5 beekeepers I fallow on YouTube because you're so full of good information.

[chrismolander]

Love all the tips, David. Taking a video of yourself will be priceless information to the new beekeeper.

[bettygitz]

Another one that is even good for us beekeepers who aren’t new😊

[LocalBuzzLLC]

I'm new to beekeeping. Getting my first nucs in April. I'm so excited. Thank you for all the videos and knowledge you've given.

[CatSayHmmmm]

We're preparing for our first year of bees! Your videos have been invaluable so far, we're really excited! Thank you, David!

[Drifter]

Been binge watching all your videos trying educate myself ahead of time. Planning to start a couple hives this year. Your videos have helped me get answers to all my questions! Thanks and keep the videos coming

[WildwoodsBeekeeping]

Good tips, good to know what your looking at and what you are seeing in your hives, good stuff David

[johnnywpowell]

Thank you so much. David is who got me through beginning bee keeping last year. Keep up the great work.

[Jane-L.S.]

New people love watching your videos. Well so do some of the beekeepers who are not so new. It is apparent that David and Sheri are top of the line for sharing a wealth of information one can only gain from people who have, (David has over 30 years) the experience.
I can not say enough praise for them. People need to watch them to know.
Thank you both, very much

Just wrapping up my 2nd year and I now look forward to my inspections. At first I was always so excited/nervous. Took a few months to get into a kind of "rhythm". I was pleasantly surprised to find one day that I just loaded up my cart and went right out with my purpose and what I wanted done ....it was nice to have that habit. It makes any surprises or problems easier to handle. David, your videos build so much confidence! I watch them as soon as you plunk them out! It is a beautiful day here in the gals are out and messing in the Ultra Bee. Enjoy your evening folks!

[jennyhohmann]

That tiny beehive is so cute! I want one!

[williemaykit]

I’m new to beekeeping. I have my first bees on order and just got my hive and basic tools the other day! I’m pretty excited! Thanks for the videos David! I’ve already learned so much! I got your book also! Good reading!

[KubotaKid]

Also, thank you for the knowledge and grace.

[jerrygreen]

When I started beekeeping last year, I learned quickly that I'm not going to have all the answers. I'm lucky to have joined a great bee club that is more than willing to help out newbees. Now, I look forward to inspections just to observe their progress.

[paulhoward]

Great ideas for beekeepers of all experience levels, David! I'm going into my fourth season here in WV.

[TinyTrailFarm]

Thanks Dave. Great video as always. Last year when I started beekeeping I used your Inspection Guide and it was a great way for me to get my "sea legs" or maybe "bee legs" on getting comfort in knowing (KNOWLEDGE)! ALso, your online classes mixed with local beekeeper feedback/videos made my first year much easier, again, thanks! Finally, your tips for winter management have worked as well. As of today, my bees are still fat/fed, queen-right, and have low mite counts all due to listening to you and being okay with not being perfect. Cheers! Kevin (Cashiers, NC)
