Hi Susan! lovely video! I've always wanted to see the inside of a bee hive especially when reading your book which I just finished. Most interesting, love your website beautifully done. Keep up the good work - just like a worker bee would....and a hearty bzzzzz to you....
Great video. I just started keeping bees. Just installed my package of bees a couple of days ago. I have been practicing lighting my smoker so i know how to get it started when i inspect the hive. I have been using Hay, do you recommend that type of fuel or is there something else that makes a cooler smoke? do u use a queen excluder? What keeps the queen from laying eggs in your honey supers? Thanks for your time.
Susan, given my 20+ years beekeeping, I thought you did an excellent "real-world" presentation of actual backyard beekeeping. I enjoyed your clear, simple, real descriptions, and you covered several items others overlooked; cool smoke, stinging the heck out of you, different hives prefer different amounts of propolus (anti-bacterial) , that the bees (females) will repair damaged comb. You tried to minimize injured bees. Your video will be very useful for beginning beekeepers. --Good work!!
Really nice job Susan ... very easy to follow and relate. Installing my first two hives this week .... appreciate the video. Will look into your book.

Great job.

One. wearing leather gloves gets in the way try marigolds.
Two. inspect the hive so the frames run from left to right and start at the first one.
In my opinion you are showing new beekeepers not very good techniques.
