- My dad Hugh Taylor Glenn has been a beekeeper since his teens. This is part 5 in our ongoing learning sessions with dad and my wife, newbie beekeeper Nikonya Godwin Glenn. Watch as Nikki and dad see our new honey production and plan to add new supers to the hive. We got our honeybees back in the early spring from Brushy Mountain Bee Farm in Moravian Falls, NC.

What a voice. :)
Your Dad seems like an awesome guy!
Your father seems like a wealth of knowledge and a true gentleman; thanks for sharing this.
thank you so much for this video. I am a beginner beekeeper myself, with my daughter (8 & 12 years old) they realy enjoy the tranquility of this hobby.
These bees are cleaning. It's not because they are crowded. They might be but the back and forth movement you are seeing, are them cleaning the landing board. Great video
Sorry to hear about your Dad and ALS. That does make the video that much more special.
That is a incredible man right there...
God bless your Family
wonderful work!
Your dad must have really worked a lot with his bees and they must have known him pretty well. It amazed me how he walk up and opened his stand of bees with no gloves or face covering.
Hello. Didn't see any comments down below, but the hive in the video is doing something that beekeepers refer to as "washboarding" referring to the backward and forward movement of the bees on the landing board, front door and lower hive body in this video. This is an excellent video of this phenomenon.
thanks! looks like the bee space is out of whack when dad opened up first box.
Need to be removing that burr comb where the spacing was incorrect. They will continue to build off of that and make a mess of it.
Should upload more vids on your bees and garden really interesting
they do when they collect more honey in the afternoon
I am confused, There r different types of frames in different boxes, in first box which type of frames is to put there, some people shows like a cardboard some open, what to do.
Awesome videos regarding beekeeping. I just bought my first jar of raw honey and I do love it. I'm probably let others handle the bee keeping chores however :)
Why are the bees rocking back and forth?
What is that kind of vapor that she is applying to bees?
I o not see over crowding they are hot so they hang outside, it's all about temperature control to keep them working
