Great vids whens the next one coming out? (From your neighbors on Bevil)

What do you do with all the wax cappings?

Do y’all use queen excluders between your deeps and supers so you get only honey in the supers or do y’all have a different method?

I love watching your videos, it is such an insight into large scale beekeeping. I am not there yet but definitely getting there. It is such an inspiration and amazing to see how you can scale beekeeping.

that looks serious, so as a bee keeper thank your workers as a bee keeper

excuse me, I'm writing to you with Google Translate, I don't know how understandable it is? I would be very happy to talk about beekeeping with you, I admire your videos, but you work with bees in a completely different way

Hello! would you be interested in how they kept bees? how do you prevent swarming?

Hello! where can I order such a Bee dress? can you help me with it? it is not available here in Hungary.

Jake could you use that method of splitting and introduce a mated caged queen?

Where are you located

You guys sure made a hard hot job look easy. I know you're all young and 'bullet proof' but be mindful off possible heat exhaustion. I worked for a small commercial beekeeper just a few times when he was short handed in the early 80's. I remember hauling over wintered bees back from Texas to NW Iowa on two large flatbed trucks. Going thru the weigh stations always made me laugh. The first truck would stop for about 10 seconds and get the green light immediately. The second truck wouldn't even have to slow down! Keep up the good work!

Its interesting how beehives are managed and used in different countries. In Romania beehives were on large trucks and moved around the fields. Very few if any pesticides used.

gosh I was unaware of this...I buy from a brand that claims to be local Texas honey (I'm in the DFW area) but I don't have any way of knowing it if it is truly 100% Texas honey.

When stacking supers do you use an upper entrance or offset super?

Hey Jake, I love what you are doing. You don’t find many commercial beekeepers that are willing to let smaller time beekeepers in to help. We definitely need that in the beekeeping community today. Thank you for reaching out a hand and giving back! Maybe one of these days I’ll have to come down to TX and see whatcha got going on. Keep it up!! 👏🏼

How much honey is made after tallow?

What kind of boots are you wearing in this video?

How would I get some of the leather gloves you use?

Hi Jake, this has been such a great video! I'm trying to build the first fully industrial honey processing farm in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and sort of learning as I go but it has been hard. Could you please provide me: 1. the production plant floor planning 2. how many hectares/space was used for the 100K lbs production? 3. prior to filtering, you didn't use knives for removal, im assuming because your machine is high technology so the filtering is so fast there's no need? Great videos!

Great video i am learning a lot. What kind of bee do you suggest to git for Texas.

The guy in jeans is crazy

Why not just run all deeps?

Jake, the video quality is 👌 What are you using to record?

So many squished bees.

What is the #1 mistake you see new bee keepers make when they are first starting out?

Great video. Curious about your feed rig…Is it air or mechanical?

Love the videos Jake. We are over in Grapeland. Someday I would love to help a couple days We run 30-50 hives depending on Going to start growing trying to get up to 2-400 for pollination maybe. Thx for being exceptional.

How do you stop bees from backfilling brood chamber and put the nectar in a super? All of my hives are back filling.

Thx for your video. Greetz from germany..

How old are your cells when you introduce them? Thanks for the video man!! Someday I hope to get as big as you are !!

Love your channel, I'm just starting a small side operation in East Kentucky. Wanting to see how many hives I can run with no employees. Just trying to get to 100 for a start. Great to see what it's like in the big leagues. One Question, why are commercial beekeepers winter losses so damn high?!?! Not just you, but like you said 40% across the board. Is it just because you don't throw good time after weak colonies to try and fix them? Or is disease load higher because of number of colonies in a small area? Thanks for the videos, I'll be hanging around.

Thanks for sharing. Lots to learn here.

I like the look of your bee suit. What brand is it and do you like it? Thanks

How many splits do you do a season?

I have around 100 colonies. I mostly sell queens and Nucs. Please keep sharing the tactical strategies for managing those huge numbers!

jake, I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for making and posting them. Have yall ever done this stack method and then introduced mated queens instead of cells? I was wondering about trying it in some outyards where I dont have the drone saturation of the home area....

Thanks for the great info. I'm a commercial beekeeper in CA and I'm going to try your method for splits. How long do you leave the bees stacked 7 high? Do you wait till the evening to move your splits to the new location?

How do you keep your syrup from fermenting

Please go into more depth too on splits … you mentioned dropping a cell.. do you do that instead of introducing a mated queen

Can you talk about how you manage mites .. how you treat .. what you treat with and how often

please go in depth on the stack method of splitting

Really appreciate your content. Thanks!

Great video. I still make mine by pulling brood-old school I know, but t just can’t bring myself to kill off the queens. 😊

Thanks Jake! I enjoy your videos. Hope y'all have a great year.

So after you combine them all like that and the queens battle it out do you go in and find the last queen and kill her and then just requeen everything?

After you drop the cells in the split. Some of the queens will not make it back. How do you handle those colonies, the time between if the queen did not get mated vs it becomes a drone layer

Watched your video last year and did all mine this way this year it made the process so much easier and all colonies are looking great so thanks!

Hey Jake how about an update on your dad's truck. How's it going try to catch you later Jake come and talk to your dad but I've been busy just like everybody else

That is an efficient way of making splits and it makes sense. Appreciate you sharing your details 😊 However, you Spanglish needs some help 🤓

Another great video, the music is very catchy too. Can someone tell me who it is? Won’t be able to get it out of my head now…
