Well done, myjugs! I knew absolutely nothing about bee-keeping till I watched this. Still slightly scared of them though! I know, I'm just a scaredy-cat! Very informative video....
@poitinstill glad you enjoyed it, don't be scared ! I've just sold 2 lots of bees to new beekeepers. Hopefully more people will take it up. We should get some honey too this year, last year we had none it was so wet and the bees ate it all up
@myjugsarehuge Although I nervous of bees and wasps, myjugs, I do love honey. Theres nothing can beat a spoonful of honey in a few hot whiskies! I take it for colds and flu, and even if it doesn't make the cold better, I find i can enjoy my ill health more!
Of course thats nothing to do with the whisky, its purely the cloves, honey and hot water!
@boombella glad you enjoyed it, I've expanded from 2 hives to 5 over the season (one hive divided twice) and will be selling 2 hives soon to new beekeepers in the area
@myjugsarehuge That is great news that they are growing in numbers and healthy.
I've considered bee keeping but am completely ignorant of their care and maintenance. We have left our lavender and coriander to flower so that all the honeybees in the neighborhood are getting pollen in our yard.
you were brave, they sound frightening. I haven't seen a single honey bee this year and I planted the garden specially. Plenty of bumble bees and a few black bees.
@yellowlabrador they are really calm when they swarm, they are looking for a new home. Not one tried to sting me.
The only honey bees you see now are ones kept in hives, the wild ones are all gone. They get various diseases that have to be treated and the Govts of the world are putting little money into research. Its very sad and potentially disasterous for the world as much of what us humans eat and wear (cotton) relies on honey bee pollination.
not something I think I'd try on my own....all I would be thinking about is all of those potential stings...Very cool to see and understand
