Whoa, you made it all the way down here! Thank you ♥️ Love you
David please use the board more, I've read an listened to this method but seeing an hearing your simplistic breakdown finally help make ful sense to this method. Thank You for this channel.
This is beekeeping for dummies. You can't get any simpler than this. Keep it up, it really helps us new keepers
Love the board helps out a lot
And I’m making up my own slides to remember on paper thank you thank you David
David , 🤯 you just blew my mind. You made something I thought was complex , so simple. Thanks!
This is my favorite thing I learned today. Thanks!
This was fantastic! Thank you David.
Thanks David, one of the most simplified explanations of the Demaree Method I have seen.
One quick comment ; you need to stress that your newly constructed Demaree hive occupies the same physical spot where the old (strong) hive existed. The new hive replaces the old hive, it doesn't go next to it or on a different hive stand.
Of lesser importance, I've had old beeks tell me to NOT use brood frames for honey frames as it can impart an 'off taste' to the extracted honey. This is a human complaint, not a bee complaint; the honeybees will consume the honey just fine 🙂
Hi David, love the live board - it suits you - and is a treasure for visual learners. More please!!
the way you explained the DM was simple and thorough enough for ME to understand. Thank you!!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi David. We are living in south west France. I would like to say thank you so much for being generally fantastic, all of the hard work sharing your knowledge and wisdom is honestly brilliant.
We have 28 hectare small holding with heritage pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and turkey's. We run a permaculture system with no chemicals or intensive land use. If you ever happen to in France you and family are welcome to come and stay.
Keep up the great work and energy.
Kind regards Jacob
Nice, Sheri and I would to come to France for a visit!
This is EXACTLY what I needed. What a great video! I live in a fairly dense neighborhood and I only want to keep four hives. I will definitely be using this method. Thank you!
lol 1 more yr of experience and finally, GET IT! Thanks, David. LOVE the board.
Definitely like the board
Nice use of the queen executor.
David, I appreciate the simple explanation and diagram. I will probably need to use this next year.
Thanks
It is nice to be able to "see" things explained rather than just hearing them or seeing diagrams from books. Thanks Dave!
This is awesome! I just have a small backyard apiary. I only have room for four hives so I am going to try this method next spring.
The board makes it easier to understand 👍
Good to hear
Aloha Dave,
This method imitates many wild hives I have studied in Hawaii. Big difference? There is no winter in Hawaii below 8,000 feet but bees continue to prepare for winter and pack the honey in.
When you remove the queen sales and you don’t want to destroy them where do you put them? Are you separating them off the frame? Are you moving the entire frame?
I love this I lost my very first hive to a swarm, and was not able to keep the swarm in the hive I provided for them, and the remaining bees without the queen, were never able to keep a queen, and I went through winter with only two frames of bees so learning more about swarms is a thumbs up for me
Yes, professor! More board time.
I have to try this , thank you so much
Really enjoyed this video. Keep them coming David
love it now its coffee time.
David - kudos for being able to write backwards LEGIBLY - another amazing talent. I'm going to try this whenever my new hive looks ready for it. Thanks for making it seem possible!
David let's see more! Thanks!
Yes, I like the board and I want more!
I had a good year last year. Got almost all colonies through winter, then swarms hit!! Going Demare method for any packed with bees tomorrow. 80 in Atlanta weds.
Thanks David and yes more info on your board and no way I could write backwards like you do
Love when you use the marker board
Really like the board. The visual is very useful
Great! I think I’ll try this next month!~ BeeWell Beeks!
Watched like 4 times and about to try out on one of my strongest hives. I want to use a couple of the queen cells to make nucs and replace some of my queens in defensive (MEAN!) hives. Also going to try the snelgrove method on another hive, THANKS FOR THE GREAT TEACHING VUDEOS 👍
Yes more on the Taranov split. I was thinking about doing this in the spring
Thanks David , More
The boards a nice touch👍
Keep up the great work 👍
Right where I’m at!! MORE MORE MORE ❤🎉
I absolutely love the drawing board method. Really brings it home for me. Great method.
Glad it was helpful!
I like learning thru the board!
Richmond VA
David, keep it coming sir! Great video.
Thanks, will do!
I can't wait to try this method!
Superb content. The glass board is fantastic, reminds me of Jeffrey Kaplan's philosophy lectures.
I am a huge promoter of the Demaree method. It works, prevents swarms, increases honey production and it is possible to raise a second Queen in the top box (with an upper entrance and additional excluder). I believe in this so much, not only did I make a video of it but I give PowerPoint presentations to bee clubs in several states every year. I am so glad more people are being shown this method. As I say in my presentations "Not everyone wants to increase their apiary size with splits to prevent swarming". Good job David.
Thanks
Thank you so much for sharing this. I like easy too. 🌻🐝
David, thank you so much.
David I like that way that so nice
I needed this and need to make a second hive. Last year my other hive swarmed ... and lost the hive. ... because I didn't know what this video showed. I have two deeps, one full, checked last week and queen was in the bottom ... second deep loaded with resources... top medium is about three frames with resources.. I have two mediums that have backup honey as feed and can be extracted.
More please. Keep it coming!
That's awesome..... more, more, more!
😱 WOW! Thank you, David
My pleasure!
Awesome!!!! Greetings from an Arizona beekeeper!!!
Much much appreciated. I was thinking about doing something different to maximize the honey harvest, and here you are with this “Demario method”. Tomorrow 4-22 I will do what I learned from you. Thank you so much David.
Love❤❤❤ the board!
David, This is the first year I had a hive survive the Winter and I just applied your Demaree Technique today. I'm so excited to experience a Spring and Summer with a thriving hive! I'll worry about the Fall and what to do when the time comes. Love the Board!
Yes more please!
Wow. I've watched several videos on Demaree method. You explained it way better than anyone I've watched so far. Thanks❤
Love the board, thank you for this video, very very helpful!!!!!
Yes please! More more more! For little guys like me that can only fit a small number of hives this video was perfect. Keep em coming!
Yes I love it I would love to hear you teach on other stuff like that behind the board.
Thanks
That was great keep them coming .
Yep we want more!
I WANT TO SEE MORE!!!!!!! I could understand this.
Keep them coming
In life you are supposed to keep things simple. That explanation is as simple as it gets. Thank you.
This is awesome, really enjoy this type of content!
Great stuff please keep it coming your great

Love the board! Thanks for simplifying the Demaree method for me.
Great explanation!! Thank you!!

Loved this video and plan to try this in a couple of weeks. Would love to see more videos on subjects such as this. Thanks!
I like it. Keep it coming.
So helpful! Thank you! Just discovering your channel (recommended on a FB local bee keeping group). Learning so much.
Wow, thanks so much!
Yes. I like this teaching
Glad to hear that
I like the board
Thank You for explaining this, Keep up the good work
Thanks, will do! I appreciate your kind comment.
What a clever camera trick... Are you writing in reverse? Or did you write normally and flip the video afterwards?
Really really smart
Simple enough. Loving that writable screen you have. You always have the best information. By Following your instructional videos and taking several classes about beekeeping from different people I came out of winter with all the hives I went into winter with. Yaaaay !!! I even got you and your wife's book read it twice.
Great video David!
Thanks this was great - keep doing these please :)
Thanks David
Big fan of the board

David, I love your energy, Thank you for creating these 'how to' videos! It will really help this New-Bee out
I have to catch up on yesterday’s live, thanks for sharing the Demaree Method! Please continue sharing, huge fan! Btw I am also a proud winner of your give away - Madera’s Queen Honey won a Burns Feeder 🎉
I want to see more just like this and, frankly, I'm surprised hardly anyone commented on how cleverly you shot and edited this video. Well done!!
Loved this video and all your videos !!
That was awesome, thank you😊
This blacklight board is awesome! I am impressed how you can write backwards so well!! Thank you!
So fascinating! I ordered Thomas sellers bee democracy book base in your suggestion. I am going to try Tia method this season!
