Thank you for showing we can feed appropriately for the season and for the health of the bees. It amazes me how many will be condescending to us or make comments like they never feed their bees like it's a badge of honor. Your channel has provided a wealth of information for us as we walk through this first season of bee keeping.

Thank for all your hard work in providing YouTube videos. I like your down to earth style of presenting and your sense of humor. The information you provide is so helpful. I really have enjoyed this nuc video showing series. Keep up the good work!

I thank Jesus for yalls detailed info videos, you note so many important details that are often forgotten or overlooked, ie: queen cell long but not filled, i just went to a hive i was requeening, noticed the only two cells they made late, where torn down today, im fixing to add another egg frame and try again. Thanks so much for your time spent, may Jesus continue to help you and yours. "My sheep know MY voice and a stranger they wont follow ". Jesus

To whom it may concern I was able to rid my beetles with sevendust spread on the ground around the hive here in Florida

Thank you! Really loving these videos. My hives are right in line with your hives' timeline. So it's really cool to see what I can expect when I inspect. Here in So. Cal. it is drier and milder temps, my bees have been very busy doing their thing. Appreciate you guys! Looking forward to the next one. Take care ~ Jen

Lucky you had plenty of rain. Here down south of you I control the rain. I put buckwheat seed down and it stopped raining lol

The blackberries are getting ripe in Ohio too. I just caught a wild swarm and am trying to learn everything in a hurry. Thanks for all the videos!

Thank you soo much Kamon! As a new beekeeper, this series has been soo helpful!! We just made 25 half pints of blackberry jelly! Yum!

[mikethomas]

Very healthy hive, excellent presentation. We really appreciate your advice Kamom.

[dcsblessedbees]

😋Yummy, do you all make jam and jellies from the Blackberries? Thanks for sharing Kamon.
😲Look at that awesome Queen Rite dial on the front of that hive😁those are such a great tool.
"Loosing bees is part of Keeping bees" Thank you for sharing the numbers on beekeeping Kamon, it makes for better new beekeepers. 👍Forewarned is Forearmed, beekeepers have to work in and with nature but we can make adjustments.

I have 5 gallon buckets that I made into over time feeders, I'll start some of my trickle open feeding soon after my Blackberries. I'm right in the middle of the flow atm here in SW WA.

Thanks Damon - fun listening to you expound your bee philosophy!

Hello Kamon.

Even though I am an ex honey farmer in the UK 74 years old and still keeping bees after 60 + years, I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos, Thank you.

I have a suggestion that you may find helpful. I notice with your smoker, that the hive hook is on the frount of the smoker, which means that you are liable to burn your hand when handling the frames.

I have always put a hook on the top quater of my smoker bellows, which means that you can place it on the hive and the smoke is going away from you and is always at hand for fiesty bees. You won't believe how much more convenient it is to pick the smoker up and carry it.

I prefer the old fasioned small brass single coat hooks with two srew holes in them. These are thin enough to fit between the frame lugs when the frames are closed. I would lay odds that once you have tried this, you will never want a smoker without one. Kind regards,

Tony Marsh

Here in Hungary, they buy honey in barrels from us for roughly $2/kg (2pounds~1kg). Our famous acacia honey costs $3.50 per kilo. Thanks to the immeasurable amount of artificial Chinese honey imported by the European Union.

I sure hope you are splitting in the next week. I’ve been following step by step and my bees are ready. It’s my first split so I would prefer to follow your lead.

I just ordered 10lbs of the rocket fuel patties from Hillco they should be here tomorrow. I'll be using them on my splits I'm about to make.

[stevenaamos]

I've been eating blackberries for about a week while out surveying, it does offset working in the heat a little!

Cutting the patties into strips is a good idea, getting ready to put some on and hopefully do a few double screen board splits coming up and maybe try Gus' flyback split as well.

[Fred-ffbv]

there was so much rain here that it killed the spring flow and now it’s just hot and dry. i have resigned myself to feeding with boob benny 1 gallon feeder buckets. some hives are producing brood like crazy and others are looking like they are trying to delete themselves.

I sell out of my $16 per pound honey by January each year. I'm a hobby beekeeper in Omaha, Nebraska
