I heard him say “hai I’m Doug” and I was sold

I hope this series gets much more attention. I went through a fair few videos with views in the hundreds of thousands and this video/series I found to be much better. Good, straightforward information which is kept simple enough for newbies to understand but still conveys what it needs to.

Thanks you for the gift . Am starting a bee farm in Africa thanks

Doug, I watched your first video today and it was awesome. I have been a police officer for 28yrs and have decided to venture out in bee keeping. I have been taking classes, watching videos and reading books for about 1 1/2yrs now and am ready to start. I came across your video and I coulnd't believe I hadn't found you before. God Bless you and thank you.

Hello Sherri, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??

Hi Doug, I've been considering beekeeping for awhile now and I am so glad that I found you! Thank you!

Thanks, Doug for the series. I am sharing it with friends that are starting out. I am also learning from watching them. I'm in my second year.

Thank you for doing this series. I am going to watch each video and take your suggestions!

Glad I came across this video, really appreciate this useful information. You're the man Doug, thanks so much!

Thank you very much for the information. I'm on my path to learning how to beekeep. My Grandpa did it and sadly I never got to meet him so I find this very poetic that I'm following his path with out learning from him. Subscribed!

I'm from Churubusco IN and will be getting into this soon. I've been wanting to keep bees for several years.

Simplest and best explanation so far.

I'm so thankful I found this. I ordered a flowhive yesterday and I have zero beekeeping experience. I'll be binge watching your channel all week. So far, I have found them very informative for a beginner like me. Thank you.

Doug, you rock.

VERY GOOD. Kept simple, easy to follow, short and to the point

I think this is the best explanation for newbies, thank you!

I'm excited

I am thinking about starting in the spring. Your video's will help

For a birthday present my children have bought me a beehive. My father used to look after bees for years and so I guess I’m picking up where he left off thank you very much for the video and I will be watching each of your episodes

New to your channel very interesting and amazing information. I grew up with 15 hives and getting my own for my family now can’t wait

Thanks Doug , just starting and your videos are very helpful.

Thank you so much! I had started learning about bee keeping though my local bee keepers association and extension office. But then moved :( but as we were cleaning out the garage today, the previous owner had left a box of bee keeping items!! Sparking my interest again. Hopefully this time I can take the jump and become a bee keeper.

Hi Doug thank you for the great information. I bought a beekeeper kit and it has a brood box but no honey super. Do I need the honey super at first or can I add that later? Will bees make honey in the brood box?

Hey Doug, great info. I have a swarm trap. Got some bees in it. has been a few days i think.last night they were bearding under it a bit. When do i move it/open it to see what they are doing?

Doug, I have been watching your beginner series but see that videos 2 and 3 as well as 11 and 12 are missing? Any chance you can republish those or is there a way to view them?

Can you tell us where episodes 2 and 3 are? I just finished episode one and it was great! Ready to move onto the next one. I noticed others had asked and have not received an answer.

Hi Doug, great video, very informative. Thank you for being so straight forward to the point. Can you please tell us the exact dimensions for the beehives? Thanks a lot!

Most are Dadant hives, you can find the dimensions on any selling site. I would put a link if youtube wasn't censoring links.

this is all very fascinating. I am contemplating starting my bee keeping journey and the one question i do have is Do I need to actively look for areas for the bees to forage, I live out in the country but its mostly pasture land without pollen producing flowers. Is this something I need to worry about?

Hi thanx for the video. Please tell me when do I harvest my bees you keep on saying in the fall is that spring or winter or what??

Question: My wife is allergic to bees. Would a bee keeping suit be sufficient enough to not get stung or should she not part take in caring for them ?

Where did you get the plastic frames

I'm still a little surprised that people beekeep in the Midwest....it gets cold up there for longer periods of time then Texas lol.

Where can buy all the beekeeping videos series

queen exclusion between brood and honey supers?

Question… I recently bought a set up used hive. It came with two deep brood boxes. This seems to be the most prevalent set up. Why is just one easier for the new beekeeper and won’t the bees run out of room?

How much does purchasing a new brood or starting colony cost?

I am brand new to bee keeping. I am studying it for a year before I get my first hive. I’m from Claypool Indiana. I’d like to plan about 1/2 acre of wild flowers for my bees, which would you recommend?

how often do you manage a hive in a week? and whats the average time per...visit (i dont know the word sorry)

I have a fairly large backyard, how far away is it safe to have a beehive? I am in the middle of putting a garden in and I wanted to put the beehive within the garden walls for protection from my dogs and other critters. But I’m concerned it will upset the bees to be so close to where I will be working daily. Is this a concern?

Does a beehive need to be level or tilted forward

How frequent is harvesting done?

Thinking of getting started in bee keeping. One concern I’m having is bears. Do they come along often and destroy your hives/investment? Or am I overthinking things?

Hello from Central Asia. I am a new beekeeper that has to make sure that bees in two beehives (left by their owner for certain reasons) survive through the winter. I have a question. I noticed that in the middle of the day a lot of bees started going in and coming out of one of the beehives (usually they fly like that in front of one of the beehives, and then they calm down, and then after a while the same thing happens in front of the other beehive). They look disturbed but I can't see anything that disturbed them. No birds, no mice, nobody, and the bees don't seem to be fighting with each other either. Is it a normal thing for them to become much more active suddenly? Or is there a problem? It's fall in our country and the weather is sunny, 42-66 F during the day. Thank you in advance. P.S. liked and subscribed! :)

how much weight does a bee keeper have to be able to lift ? is the smaller hive that you mentioned lighter in weight ? I can not lift a lot of weight anymore. Thanks.

Give knowledge about sell honey where

Are there Episodes 2,3,11 & 12? Thank you.

Doug, but what if I don't really want to be a "beekeeper"? From what I've been hearing for years is that the Earth's bee population overall is becoming endangered, and that we are at risk of losing our major pollinators. I have 40 acres here in northeast Arkansas; it's ranch land here; there is no farms within miles of me, so the bees would not be at risk of coming in contact of pesticides. With the land I have available, I am more interested in establishing a bee sanctuary where the bees can flourish safely, with me adding more hives as the need arises. I guess, I would need to know when a hive has become overcrowded, but is there really any need to know all that other stuff?

how many honey supers do you need for them to survive through winter

Hi Doug, thank you for the info. My husband wants to start beekeeping. Question; We have a huge bee hive in a grapefruit tree, is there a way to transfer it to a bee box, or do we need a Professsional to do it?

@etienne8110

2 жыл бұрын

A professional is advised. Moving the hive can make it aggressive. An other option is to install your hive nearby, when the current hive will split in the spring or summer, if you provided a nice place, there are good chances that the new hive will come in the home you provide. ^^ That's how i started beekeeping:: i just put a box out there and waited for a wild hive to come nest inside. It's cheap and efficient.

13:50 which animal is in the background?

why do you not use an inner cover

Is one beehive considered one colony of bees? I need seven colonies...so I would need 7 of those beehives?

Really liked the first video but the next 2 are missing
