    I have a friend who’s wife is starting to keep bees, I , who have no hands on knowledge, was able to find her Queen in a rescued hive!! She was going to put a new Queen in the hive, but I spotted the Queen! Thanks for your and Mr Ed’s videos!!! It was so much fun to finally get to interact with bees!

    My Son, Jed, 30 saw you over my shoulder and wanted to know what you were doing. I took a break from watching, and we have a whole conversation about why you're putting Queens in these boxes, and why there are times bees don't have a Queen. Also told him how you may come to have so many Queens. Between yourself, and Mr Ed, I realise I now have quite a bit of knowledge about bees I will never be able to keep, but sure is fascinating being able to pick up so much just from watching you chaps. Thanks for that ❤

    Yesterday I made biscuits, added lots of whipped butter and delicious Costal Grove honey! It was so good with crispy bacon on the side and eggs over medium. Thank you Randy & Elizabeth. 🌷🦋🐝

    I sent this video to the 2 guys helping me. I plan to go into nuc production up here in Tennessee. Got 65-70 making now, hoping to split to 175-200 April. I appreciate the videos you share. I learn a lot of my methods from watching you and some others. Thanks again and please keep sharing content!! You are making a difference.

    I wash my Guardian bee jacket once a year whether it needs it or not. LOL I have to say it is a little funky at this point in the season. Wow, cool idea on those styrofoam mating Nucs. Cool timelapse. . . Late night with lots of queens, crazy! Cool video thanks!

      I love your content as well. Not too far away from you, I'm in Arkansas. Sometime I would love to stop by and get some learning on beekeeping. I'm looking to purchase some land in western Arkansas and want to have some bees

      I usually just leave mine out in the weather. It's a testament to the durability of them that they survive my rough use of them.

    We made several of the mating nucs this year with the same styrofoam medical boxes. Only issue we found they hold water quite a bit. I even drilled the entrances upward to prevent water hydrologicing and close to the floor.
    We had to go back and slap holes in the bottom to keep them drained.
    Lord willing, y'all don't have any problems and have good success with them!

      That dude has had those old signs on that truck for quite some time. They came down from TN of course.

      Haven’t found anything that gets them white but Norwex has a powder that does great on our hats. I haven’t tried it on the suits yet.
