Love your videos. Thank you for these.

I watch the “Just Alex” YouTube that you recommended but like this particular playlist the best. Alex is certainly entertainment but for more factual stuff this is hard to beat.

Thankyou so much for this video series. I am going to get a nuc in 2022 spring and is really helpful to have seen your great advice before I actually get them as this will help me prepare for the big day. Thanks so much I love all of your videos :-)

Great video series. My daughter and I are starting bee keeping this year 2022. We have just ordered our first Nuc from you and have lessons booked with our local Association. Really looking forwards to our journey. Your videos are a great insight and preparation for what lies ahead. Thanks Fish & Loz

Great start to a great series thanks for doing them.

[annefinlay-baird]

Just picked up my nuke today. Thank you for really simple good advice

[benrichards]

If I catch a swarm in my brood box up high with wax frames can I move it 30 feet to the position I want the hive to be . Regards Ben

[karenlanger]

Really helpful series. Thank you. What do you do if your bees are delivered in one of the correx boxes? Can you cut a hole and leave for a few hours? Is this long enough?

Great advice, I'm planning on restarting beekeeping next year. I wonder the best way of introducing a nuc into a 14X12 abelo brood box where the frames from the nuc are smaller. cant see how to avoid the wild comb under the frame

[GeorgeGeorge-tbpo]

Great video. As a beginner is there any recommendations on good bee suit?

[robtalliss]

Timely as I’m picking up my nucs from you tomorrow! 🤣🤣🤣

I transferred my first nuc yesterday and gave them 1:1 sugar syrup, I went and check the feeder this morning and it’s now empty. The bees are bringing in pollen and it’s sunny. Do I refill the feeder? I don’t want to open them up again just to check if they are drawing out the comb but I also don’t want to leave the feeder empty if they need it? What do I do? 😂
