The magic of urban beekeeping: a backyard San Francisco hive

[newmysite]

OH WOW such a great smooth video! Enlightening calm relaxed and very informative content. The cute pregnent mama beekeeper Alex was very sweet and knowledgeble for a beginner. And her warm character and gentle approach is so cool along with her great accent =) It was like listening to a very nice story! Thanks

It's nice to see that sometimes the best teachers are the ones that are still learning! :)

This was a simple yet informative video especially for those who don't know anything about beekeeping like me. The bee lady seemed very nice too. I suddenly became interested in keeping a beehive.Where did you order your bee package ?

@greatmasterboy I just shot the video, but I asked "the bee lady", Alex, and she said : "The bees were ordered through the San Francisco beekeeping society. They help beginners and also advanced beekeepers with resources, meetings, rental equipment and ordering bees. I guess they want to make sure that people know what they're doing since there is quite a lot to it. Most cities or counties seem to have a bee club or a bee association to help with all that."

Very nice hobby.

You have a very good colonies of bees here. (maybe they are Buckfast , considering the very fast development of the colony). You are right about the urban bees in comparison with the country bees. I have 3 beehives in the city of Amsterdam and 2 others in the countryside of Amsterdam. Definitively those in the city go much better than those in the countryside.

I like your video and the accent in your English.

I uploaded a video of bee eating flower nectar that looks exactly like these bees. But, I'm in Florida. I loved this video. Twelve minutes flew by fast.

Another interesting video. We can't get over how casual and professional your videos are. Her funny "...you don't want to piss your neighbors off." probably would have been edited out by most. For some reason it doesn't seem vulgar here. We feel as if we were really there with you looking at the bees. We're looking forward to more videos.
