I Got Honey Bees Garden Answer faeriefire78: I was so excited when I saw this pop up in my subscriptions! We inherited an established hive box from a neighbor who moved away, so we were clueless but excited to learn how to care for them. A couple weeks later Hurricane Matthew hit and the state did a mass mosquito spraying to prevent Zika. All that standing water, perfect mosquito breeding grounds, etc. Anyway, the pesticide covered everything and there was no protecting bees from that. I'm looking forward to more bee videos so we can feel confident to start over again. Tfs!

Great video, throughout the demonstration I was wondering if Aaron had a suit on, so kudos to him. most hives are lost in the first year due to starvation and predators. My favorite strategy for starting a colony is not harvesting their honey for the first year and feeding them during the winter. Each location is unique for predators. Chicken wire works well in my case. Liked!

Great Video Laura, as you know I will be doing this in the future so it was a good intro for me. I am most interested in what happens next. Once those frames are full how do you swap them out and do you take all or just some of the honey and when do you do that?

I'm so excited to see updates! I don't know if you can talk about this but do you know if this can be done on a smaller scale for a smaller garden? And is it okay to talk about the price point and cost involved? Thanks for this video!

My dads allotment plot came with an old, active hive & I'm gutted I live so far away & cant learn beekeeping! I'm hoping he gets a new hive for them, even if he doesn't keep them for honey it's so important to help our lovely bees

Fascinating! My granddad raised bees. I'd go out with him to collect honey. he had me crouch down in the field and told me the bees would think I was a flower! I was very little. Never saw how hives were set up. Thank you!

Hello! I have ordered my first beehive and it is due to arrive in April. Could you please let us know how is your beehive doing? What are some things that you would like to share with someone new to beekeeping?

Thank u for this. ive been toying with the idea of getting bees. what do you think of a system like flowhive? i like the minimal invasivenes when collecting honey though i would still regularly inspect my bees.

If you don't have any lucky with these lil guys you should try a Flow Hive - my parents have one. It works a treat and getting the honey is super easy! Their bees are so happy and thriving: -) cheers Chloe
