It's a pleasure to watch a man who knows his craft and does it well.

Excellent stuff Bob. I love these Vlog style videos. I could understand if you thought they were simple or repetitive, but I learn something from every one. You’re helping to make beekeeping careers achievable for the next generation, and that’s a big deal.

Oh I feel the stress of the split, trying to manage all the variance with a crew.
Those colonies look fantastic.
Excellent video, keep up the good work

Bob, I love your attitude towards your employees! Your employees are very lucky to have the opportunity to learn from you! I hope they all realize just how lucky they are and use their bee skills to teach others like they are or were taught. I’m not saying for them to go into the bee business but keep a few hives and mentor folks that wants to learn.

Thanks again Bob for what you do and how you take the time with your employees and how much you help others to save the bee's for our future for younger generations..

Great video as usual Bob. You have a great crew working for you... especially with Mr. Happy behind the camera! 🙂

This is my favorite bee channel. I have been a bee keeper for 4 days now, but a lifetime bee fan. Your information is invaluable for aspiring bee keepers.

Hi Bob I just wantted to say "a big thank you " from the uk, your expert knowledge, videos and your team are fantastic. Two years into my beekeeping journey following in my grandfathers footsteps I have 20 hives and counting. Queen rearing is this years challenge. You have been so much help. If you ever find yourself in the UK be sure to say Hi ! Thank you all again. x

Bob that is one thing I learnt from you last Spring, learn to watch the trees and plants. The trees and plants will show you when to start watching and working the bees. I think Evergreen trees bloom a little before Maple, in my area you can use them 2 as a seasonal timer. Ty much Bob and crew another great video.👍

Hello Bob,

On the subject of Pollen, some viewers may be suprised what bees will collect pollen from. One year hear in the UK, I watched bees collecting pollen from Dacyilis Glomerata ( Cocksfoot ) grass. I believe it was an orangy yellow colour, but since this was around 50 years ago, I can't be sure. Kind regards,
Tony Marsh.

I appreciate that you continue to make videos on topics you've covered before. I watched the video of you demonstrating this splitting method to a crowd 3 years ago but seeing this video of you and your people doing it in the field really helps me get a good grasp on the concept.

Hate we didn’t get to meet on Wednesday when we stopped by. We really enjoyed our visit to your store. Hope you were able to taste the honey we brought by from Northwest Florida.

Mr. Binnie you have become my new go to for bee hive information. Thanks for putting all the work into helping other beekeepers. With that said, I was in Columbus, Ga over the past week (March 22 & 23)for our son's AIT graduation at Ft. Benning, I noticed a LOT of green leaves on trees with blooms and honeybees everywhere in that region of Georgia, I tried my best to get my wife let me make a wide eastward swing around Atlanta coming back home to Bee Lick, Ky but I just could not sell her on the notion, I may have to plan a solo roadtrip... Thanks and keep the videos coming!

[calvinkalmon]

I remember in one of your videos you said you taught Selena how to work the bees with no gloves on. Could you teach us sometime, maybe a short video with some pointers? I run about two hundred colonies, but I still wear gloves, and I would like to get them off!

From the Middle East, the land of tragedies and wars, I thank you for the interest you provide.. You are the best.. 🌹
