Every time I learn something new I realize how little I actually know.

Nice video

I'm brand new to beekeeping but it doesn't take a genius or experienced beekeeper to realize that nature is smarter than man. If we keep medicating bees we will either poison them, weaken their immune systems and genetic traits over time or strengthen the resistance of the viruses, bacteria and parasites or worse, all the above.

Beekeepers need to be organic and let nature run its course. An example is I have seen beekeepers cut out drone brood, but that may lead to more mites in theory.

Yo. While I like this video and your approach to organic, I need to let you know those cut outs need to be oriented in the same way the were in the bird bath. It looks like you "framed" them upside down, where gravity can no longer play a part. Check out comb with nectar right side up and upside down and note that there is a slight change in the angle of the cells. Keep making videos as the net impact you're making is awesome.

Love your attitude and concern for bees. Great to know not all beekeepers in America are large scale commercial businesses hiking their hives thousands of miles each year. Good on you! You're an inspiration and having just got my own bees set up at the bottom of my garden I will follow your example.

That is absolutely cool!!! If I had known that a couple years ago I could have saved a couple of swarms at our elementary school and a friends home. i can't wait to get some basic bee equipment.
