You know I have never done been keeping but grow tons of flowers and pollination plants but watching your videos has encouraged me to do this one day if I can afford some more land. Thank you for your videos.

Aloha, something I have been wondering about: I see a lot of beekeeping videos and I've noticed a lot, but not all, beekeepers put a brick or rock or something heavy on the lid. Why?

[hgdon-homeiswheretreesare-]

I love your presentation. It’s very good.

[rrogers]

Well put together presentation. Thank you for sharing this information. I like the idea of smoking my clothes as well just in case. I did hear that we should be cognizant of how much we smoke the bees. I want to learn so much more.

[Timpon_Dorz]

Thank you, I am going to give it a shot next year.

Well, before the epipen, I'd get checked to see if I'm allergic by a doctor.

[RichardChandler-vi]

I have never used a smoker and i have been a beekeeper for 15

So basically if you dont live anywhere near a city that has an association to go to for a year then don't keep bees? Lol
