I love watching you for educational purposes. We need more instructors like you ❤

How someone as informative, and entertaining, as yourself has so few subscribers is beyond me. I don't even keep bees and I look forward to your videos. Thank you for putting so much fun into information.

[VidKatMA]

You're such a Jolly Delight. Thnx 4 the Fun & Knowledge

[SpectrumShergie]

Filming is so good, the cameraman is a superstar. The presenter is amazing too, as ever, the real star of the show however is the bees!

I cleaned a fixed my box fan while watching and listening to your video. Thanks for the information and laughs.

"If they didn't eat honey they'd be pretty dopey for collecting the shit wouldn't they?" is my new favorite quote

[weneedhopethankyou]

It would be nice to see a short follow up on the rescue of that 20 year old hive. Thanks for the good bee videos.

You're like the Julia Child of bee patties! You're a wonderful find on the YT world!!

Like an old moll at a christening mate, get her done. The oil is used to stop the patties setting like bricks, it keeps the stuff pliable in the cold and makes it easier for the little darlings to eat. I also add two lemons per 2 kg of sugar to invert the sugars when making sugar feed for the girls, as in golden syrup, it stops the sugar from settling out, and forming a crust. I also add a few drops of tea tree oil per batch to help with nosema etc.

Love your video. A Big hello from a former commercial bee keeper from America

[syos]

Discovered this channel today, and frankly I’m already enjoying it.

[princenephron]

It amazes me that he's able to have a fairly successful bee operation with the sheer amount of "fuck it, good enough!" stuff he does. LOL

[chrisrees]

Always a pleasure to watch, keeps me going during lock down lol.

[rudibotha]

I'm so glad I came across your channel. I can't get enough of watching! I am a beginner beekeeper in South Africa. Of all the YouTube videos I've watched on beekeeping, yours is the best. I love your sense of humour as well. Keep up the good work!

[alanaaites]

It looks like something out of a nappy. Hahaha! So funny.

[palelopeti]

You’re bloody amazing! Love your personality 🤣🙌🏾

[noahriding]

Wow. Very cool topic. I'd been interested in research like this.


Thank you very much.

[kathyhathaway]

I found out it is way better to make the patties toooo thicker than to thin so they do not run down thru the frames . It will make a hell of a mess 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ . You keep a smile on my face the whole time I watch your video’s

Got 4 Eucalyptus flowering here. They are buzzing with bees. Great to see and hear. Thank yoh for the ideas.
