I appreciate the monthly tip videos, thank you!
Thanks T.J. for the SUPER THANKS and donation. I appreciate that!
Thanks for the videos. I am new to the hobby and your videos give me tons of information. With the money I would buy a house in the mountains. Thanks again and I can't wait for your next video.
Hi David, First year Beekeeper with two hives. I’m learning so much from your videos it’s overwhelming on how much there is to keep your Bees healthy. If I had unlimited resources I would help build shelters for unwanted animals and feed/help the homeless. Thank you
Glad to see your channel continues to grow. You're putting in the effort and deserve it👍
Brent, that is so kind of you. I am working hard to grow it and for someone to notice is appreciated!
Fantastic video! I got my hive 15 days ago and your channel has been a great help. I really appreciate everything you do. Thank you Mr. Burns!
Great video! I really enjoy when you go through an inspection and just talk us through it. If I had unlimited resources, I would travel often and see the world.
First year beekeeper here and the learning curve is REAL. Your videos and classes have helped me so much! If I had all the money, I'd either endow a library with extension programs about regreening, greenspaces, nature and farming...or I'd love to get good enough at bees to bring this to my college campus. Wouldn't it be cool to learn beekeeping in college?
If you think the first year is steep, wait until you hit about year 3 and think you've finally got it figured out, just to be reminded that you know nothing and bees don't read the rules of beekeeping. lol Year 4 is quite humbling.
Awesome vids, first year bee keeper here, 3 packaged hives New York so far so good. If I had all the money in the world, all children's medical bills would be taken care of. Keep up the great vids.
If money was no object, I would make family and friends comfortable and then I would donate to many foundations.
Your Tips and videos have been KEY in our learning process in our 1st year of Beekeeping, we begin our 2nd year this week!! So Thank you for what you do!!
I'm so glad that I have paid for all your online classes. They have made a huge difference in my confidence.
Thank you David for all the advice and videos. If I had limitless money I would pay it all forward to remove the worlds need for financial motivation thus redirect efforts for the betterment of humanity and the well being of our planet.
I always learn so much from your videos and narratives as you work through the hives. You make it look easy. Thanks for it all.
Thanks Juanita. Most of the time it is easy once you learn how to approach bees. I cannot say for certain, but it is almost like my attitude and disposition puts my bees to ease as I work them, but that's just what I think.
This video was just what I was looking for! Just starting my second year and need to make a split like this as I lost one of my two hives in an April snowstorm. If I had all the money in the world the list would be very long. I like to give random gifts of kindness to other people. Everyone likes to get an act of kindness every if they don’t you. It does wonders for the soul.
Hi David,
You always make finding the queen look easy. It isn't.
A sound mind and a full belly are worth more than any treasure.
I would make a donation to my church and favorite charities and then buy a new house with hundreds of acres of undeveloped land.
First year beekeeper here! Got my bees directly from you. :) So thankful for your videos and book!
Love all the content. As a "newBEE" first year I am soaking up all of it. May not retain it all but so cool Dave! Thanks for all the effort!
One of my hives swarmed just this afternoon; I thought I had split it appropriately, but I guess that didn't do the trick! Oh well.
Great and useful video as always, David. If I had limitless money, I’d fund all the medical research and farming research in the world and feed the hungry.
Love watching your channel! If I had unlimited funds, I would buy a larger farm and most definitely expand my aviary! 1st year beekeeper here and I get so excited every time I go into my hives. So interesting to see my bees hard at work doing what they do best! 🐝❤😁
I'll keep watching and learning!
Thank you for all the great information, and inspirational thoughts. I love watching your videos as I begin this journey into beekeeping.
If I had all the money in the world, I would buy enough property to to be completely self sufficient, and use the rest to help those less fortunate than myself.
Thanks David, I appreciate the video! This is some timely information for me. I had a swarm move in (accidentally on purpose) in a spot by the garage and they will need to move more then 3 feet and less then 3 miles. I think I will try to reorient them maybe with the branch method. It’s too far to move them 2-3 feet a day plus I will have to move them on a hill. I hope your season is off to a great start. We’ve been into the tulip poplar for a couple of weeks now and the privets are starting to bloom where I am here In GA.
Thanks for the inspirational talks that go along with your awesome beekeeping information. If I had unlimited resources I would make it my job to go out and do random acts of kindness around our community and this wonderful country of ours!
Another informative video Dave. Just can't get enough of your beekeeping knowledge. Thanks!!🐝🐝
Hi David! Love all the information you give. My brother asked me to help take care of bees with him. Looking into classes this year. We have two hives. If I had all the money I would first donate to any wild life sanctuary, donate to the homeless shelters, and any children's shelter/hospital and the Veterans. Then fix somethings at my home.
Enjoy your videos and your commentary. I find that beekeeping is enjoyable and fun to see and hear how others manage their colonies. One thing for sure in beekeeping as well as so many activities, “all constants are variable.”
Fund different areas to enrich the lives
First year beekeeper and I enjoy all your videos and love coffee time. thank you for sharing your knowledge
New to beekeeping! I got my first package today! It went so well! Now I want to learn as much as I can and make sure to keep them as healthy and happy as possible!
I don’t have a mentor and would love to someday have the knowledge so I can help other new beekeepers!
Thank you so much for all you do! If I had unlimited money I would purchase several acres of land to start a homestead with me and my little family. I love teaching my kids (ages 6,8 and 14) how to be self sufficient. They love watching your videos with me and are so excited to pick up our first nuc hive this week! Again, thank you for taking the time to film and upload all of this content to share with us. Looking forward to your next video and binge watching the rest!
I was so nervous about splitting, it'll be my first! This helped so much! Thank you! If I had all the money in the world, I would buy a few hundred acres out in the country, and start a ranch to help experiment with sustainability and just get away from the fast pace of life.
Thanks for the info. This is the start of my second year bee keeping and I find it extremely fascinating.
I would pay off all the debt of all the people I know and secretly to people I don’t. And would quit my job and buy a farm to expand my bee keeping.
First year beekeeper. Thanks for being so generously awesome with all you do ! With lots of money I'd like to help others help themselves and then themselves help others.
First year bee keeping. Learning from my mentor Linda here in Rhode Island I have one hive that swarmed from her hive. Love watching your video’s, you are patient in explaining everything you’re doing. So important to us newbie’s. If I had unlimited resources, I would buy more land and retire so I can enjoy mother earth’s beauty and wildlife here.
Thank you so much for the videos! I'm new to beekeeping and appreciate all the information. With unlimited funds, I would firstly purchase a large amount of acreage just to be away from society and have a massive apiary. Would make sure my loved ones were taken care of and work with animal rescue groups. Thanks again for the hugely informative videos!
If I had unlimited money, I'd spend a lot of time traveling around the world viewing it, as well as identify characterisms of beekeeping, sharing information that will provoke the interest and desire of others to become beekeepers ~ Thank you so much for your time and talent Mr. Burns!! You are doing just as I wish to do, invoke interest in beekeeping ~ Peace, and love!!
As always, thanks for the videos! I have a hive that may be needing a split soon but bear activity has been VERY high in our area this year, so I may need to keep it within our apiary with the electric fence. If I had all the money in the world, I would establish community/retreat areas specifically for our young people so that they may find a safe and healthy environment where to learn the life and social skills that they are no longer learning in today's society.
Another great video David. I made a split today. You made it look a lot easier than it was for me. I only got stung twice. If I had unlimited funds first I would make sure my family was taken care of then I would make a donation to the veterans homeless shelter. Then I've always wanted to take a 30 day cruise. Again thanks for another great video
I would buy a lot of land in various parts of the world and create the ultimate garden and apiary in each place. Those areas would then help supply cheap food for communities. Thanks for what you do Mr. Burns!
I was just transported back to my childhood and discovered the Mr. Rogers of Beekeeping (i think that’s a huge compliment by the way)! Thanks for great video! Just subscribed! I think this is the first one of your videos that I found! My priorities are: New siding for the sheep barn, build up the rabbitry, hire a local person to help my wife and I on the farm, get some sheep handling equipment because we’re getting older, honey collection equipment and be able to support our local food bank. We have plenty of folks locally that need help. God bless. Sometimes the best work to do is the work that’s in front of you.
First year beekeeping and love your videos. You have helped me with my hives so much already. Thank you. If money was no issue I would hunt turkey, deer and elk all year while picking as Many huckleberries and murrel mushrooms as I could. Idaho is a great place an I absolutely love being in the mountains.im going try and find you a great coffee cup
Enjoy your videos so much!! My first year bee keeping but have learned so much from your teaching videos… you have a great way of explaining things so a new beginner can understand! If I had unlimited money resources I would share with my children the things that would help them with daily life ( not new cars or big houses) just make their life easier and share with local charities
Hello David, second year Beekeeper with two hives -- now three thanks to your video. Between my bee club and your videos I’m learning a lot. If I had unlimited resources, as an Army vet, I would help legitimate homeless vets. Helping them find the resources to get off the streets.
Thank you.
Hey Dave caught my first swarm and set up a new colony. So far so good. With all the money in the world I could each day random acts of kindness
I'm an aspiring beekeeper. Your information is helping to drive me forward. If I had all the money that was wanted, I would buy 800 acres of raw land somewhere in the Southeast US. Thanks for the content!
Absolutely love this video, since I have to make splits this way. Thank you for the tips! With all the money in the world, I would help others, build a house for myself and of coarse have multiple 🐝 yards!! Thanks again!
If I had an unlimited amount of money, I would help my family & friends, donate to local charities, and then do some travelling, since I've never had money to do so. Thank you for sharing your amazing wealth of knowledge. I so appreciate you! The end of May marks my first full year of Beekeeping! Loving it! 🐝
Great video. First year beekeeper. If I had unlimited money, i would buy a farm for each of my kids. Each would come with an apiary and all the equipment needed to keep bees. Keep the excellent content coming!
I’m just getting started in beekeeping. I have learned from your videos.Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience in beekeeping.
I appreciate that Randy. Be sure and join me on Thursday nights at 7pm for my lifestreams where you can ask a question or hear answers I give to other people's questions. Here's the link: www.honeybeesonline.com/live/
Just watched your bee splitting video. I'm a new beekeeper and totally enjoyed and learned so much from you and will recommend you to my beekeeping friends! Awesome. If I had all the money in the world, I would first take care of my family members who are in need. Then help the non-profits in my community, travel and then find a cause that I believe in, (one that helps protect our planet) and let them have it!
Thank you Vicki
Much appreciating the down to earth way you explain beekeeping techniques for all of us novices. If there were such a thing as unlimited income, I too would enjoy doing video & photographic tutorials on wildlife & food foraging as well as traveling documentaries. Homeopathic and medicinal plants and fungi hunting education. These are my true passions I'd love to share with those who would be interested.
Thanks for all the info. I'm a newbee to beek 1st year since May with 12 hives.
Im new too your channel and I just started my own hive this spring. I did a 20 bar horizontal hive which I built myself. Not to bad for a 63 yr old young lady. The honey is amazing. It’s in the middle of my food forest 👍👍👍👍 thanks for the work and information.
Wait, do not use 63 and "old" in the same sentence. You're off to a great start with bees. Good for you.
First time bee keeper. I enjoyed your video. Thank you. If I had unlimited money I would make sure my family was okay and then I would donate to many charities. I'm also a volunteer first responder and fire fighter. I would make sure to take care of all the local volunteers for their amazing work and dedication to their community
Hi David! I am so glad I found your channel, you have taught me a lot.
If I had unlimited money, I would have to buy a good sized parcel of land for my family and then I'd try to ensure that children's needs, hunger issues and medical needs were funded.
88 years of age. Thinking about keeping bees. Your videos are the best and highly informative and thoroughly appreciated.
This channel has changed my game in the bee keeping. With all the money in the world I would love to give most of it away. Feed the world.
Awesome I've been waiting to see you do a split video I watched a few others but I was skeptical as everyone does them different my trust is in you!!
Great video and instruction for splitting a hive. My son got in to beekeeping as a teenager and I joined in to spend more time together. His curiosity in beekeeping has subsided, but I love it. To answer your question, if I had all the money in the world, I would donate a substantial amount to continue research and hopefully find a cure for ALS and PLS.
I thank you for all the great and informative content you provide. Thank you for your continued dedication in creating new content regularly. With all the money I would first focus on getting all the homeless and hungry children in the US off the streets and work toward getting them safe shelter and seeing that they are never hungry again!!!
Thanks David. My bees I bought from you this spring are doing well and working hard. They are loving all of the black locust trees right now. If I had unlimited money I would spend my days making life better for others around me.
Well thanks James, glad you like our bees. Yes, the black locust trees are in full bloom in Illinois but only for a few more days.
We started Bee keeping like three years ago. We really enjoy watching how God has .ade the bees so amazing. They are ot of fun an I have learned so much. I asked the Lord to Bless our Bees an he has cause we have really grown. We took Dave Bee keeping class a couple winter ago an loved it. If I had all the money in the world I would get all the stuff we need to really build our Bee business up!!! I would also help people in need!!!! Thank you Dave for All your knowledge you share.
If I had all the money in the world, I would make sure that people across the globe had adequate, decent quality housing and provide resources to clean up the planet. Just got my first hive of bees in northern NH and can’t wait to see how they will do. Love your videos and your online classes!!
I would buy as much property as possible - preferably old growth forest, and I'd create a foundation to maintain it as a Nature preserve untouched by man. Of course bees would be among those to benefit! Thanks for sharing your love of bees with the world! I've got the fever after having one hive for a year - this year my apiary grows!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us David. I enjoy your videos and am trying to soak up all of the knowledge I can from you. As far as the money, well, I’d pay off my house and any other debt I have so I can have the freedom of being debt free. I would try to help as many people as I could in any way that I could but also would do what I could to help get the word out about what’s going on with the bees and how important they are to us. Most people don’t realize we are losing them through out the world
First time beekeeper’s the wife and I have 2 nuc’s coming Saturday, learned pretty much everything from you! Alzheimer’s/Cancer research
Thank you for all of your videos you make, that are shown on-line, I definitely appreciate all the videos My brain is a bit forgetful and they help!🥰
So grateful to you! I have had my girls for 1 week!
Mr Burns,
My husband and I really enjoy all your bee videos. Love you sharing your knowledge.
If I had unlimited resources.
I would drill wells for clean water in needed countries.
I would help the farmers to take care of world hunger.
I would make sure people especially children had a warm bed, warm clothes for winter.
Just getting into beekeeping. Enjoyed your video. A quote from playwright Eugene O’Neill reminds me of your talk.
“Success is a stale finale. The success in the struggle.”
Howdy David Burns!
I have trapped my first swarm and moved them into a deep. So I’m starting from scratch. I wish I would have payed more attention to my Grandpa when I was a kid. I have you to been my replacement with very good information. Thanks for the tips !
I'm so glad I've come across your videos. This week I just ordered my first hive. I live in West Potsdam New York. I'm so excited to get started learning, collecting bees and caring for them in my new hive. I am growing my own food and making my art. One of my art media is painting with encaustic wax. I have been painting in encaustic for many years. Last year I was given some bee casting which I used to make my own wax. It was awesome getting over 3 pounds of wax in the end. I took photos of my process. It made me really want to keep bees even thouogh for years I watched videos on other beekeeper doing there thing. I eat honey every day in my oatmeal and tea so it will be great having my own bees making it for me.
If I had a lot of money I would repair the roof on my barn garage, insulate and heat it so I can have an art studio of my dreams. I could teach there and really enjoy using my printing presses and using my wax in some great art work.
Nice to meet you. I'll be speaking in New York at EAS in August. You should consider going to EAS:
easternapiculture.org/conference/
a great video we just did our first split and this was what we did. If I had all the money I would buy land and build a nice home.
Saw her two seconds before you did...Thanks for your awesome videos! I have layens hives but I still like watching yours for more learning.
This is my first year of beekeeping. I get my bees in the next week or two.Im so excited! If money was no obstacle I would buy farm land. In every country of the world to grow food and give jobs to as many people I could.
Very good information. This is my second year as a beekeeper.
Awesome video!!! Like how you go slow!!! I’m a new beekeeper and I’m learning. If I had all the money in the world I would make sure all children in the world are fed and educated.
Nice work, I believe I’ll try this on my next split. If I had unlimited resources, I would start animal husbandry classes for grade school ages up through college levels. Focused on pollination and the diversity of pollinators in the world.
I so appreciate this incredibly practical video on splitting. With all the money in the world, I'd attack poverty. :)
Hello, I’ve been watching your videos for about a year. I’m new to beekeeping and love it! If I had unlimited money I’d buy houses for my whole family for the little homestead that we live on together. I love to turn our little into a retreat for people to come enjoy farm life or even to stay at during tough times.
If money were no object, I would buy a 1000 acre ranch with multiple lakes and ponds for trout fishing. Great video. Just got my first two nucs last week…steep learning curve, but your videos and book helped prepare me tremendously! Thanks and keep it up!
Just a quick after thought, sent a note on the sweethearts e mail & we hadn't subscribed... just did that. I am subscribed elsewhere, we watch your informative thoughts and uplifting information on our smart T.V. & frankly the TV is much smarter then I am... just can't figure out how to comment from there! Been watching a couple of years but this year is our first with our sweet fuzzy guests. Thanks for all the information & inspiration we enjoy your thoughts and energy. We will continue to learn together with you.
As a newBEE bee keeper...I am really enjoying your videos. If I had unlimited resources and the world was my oyster....I would definitely do something about inflation and supply chain issues. As well as make sure my family was debt free and taken care of.
And YES my grandbabies would be SPOILED! 🐝💜🐝
Interesting! I've had bees for a couple years, but never felt confident enough to make a split. It looks possible! My wife and I are retired and feel fortunate to have sufficient resources to "make it". If we had all the money in the world, we'd probably make sure that our family was OK, and then share the wealth with the charitable groups we support now. Our church (which supports the homeless and hungry), education, public broadcasting, and a few others. We'd also probably get a little fancier with our beekeeping! Thanks for all the great information in a format that's so interesting!
Good deal!
Newbie here. Started this year. Bought three hive systems and two nucs and have been able to pick up a swarm through the local club. Liking it so much, purchased 10 more systems. If I had the money, take some trips abroad then donate to conservation groups.
Been sharing your CZcams name to my kids that are interested in getting into beekeeping. Also a co-worker has started watching your channel. I will nudge them to subscribe. I enjoyed this video. My co-worker and I were just talking about making splits next spring on our new hives. Of course that depends on how they over winter.
Wow, so nice of you!!!
Good video Mr. Burns, like the hive management.
All the money in the world? Make sure family and the kids are set for sure, expand our recently bought farm and definitely a few organizations we are tied to.
Thank you.
Hi David. Based in the UK, our climate/weather may be different, but it's always useful to see how you approach matters, especially - in this case - splits. With regards to your giveaways, I 'm not in the US, to benefit but hey go. Unlimited money - Anything I like and yes, charity is a big part of that. In Europe we have a lottery which often gives £100mn and a recent winner has already given multiple millions to friends and family.
I am a Beginning beekeeper, thanks for the videos.
If I had all the money in the world I would spend money trying to improve and expand my small farm and the world around it.
I have followed your videos . Your advice on stopping hive robbery is on spot .
I live in an area ( South Central Texas where the local population of wild bees are 70% Africanized bees ) and I have been successful to stop robbing from the local wild bees . The pressures on domesticated honeybees are very high and I have followed your advice to help those rogue bees in hand .
Hi Rod, unfortunately, bees are so perishable and sensitive to shipping issues or production issues. Many hands are handling a queen that you buy. Any of those fingers could pinch her too hard. These huge bee supply companies try to do a good job, but it is difficult to find workers to work bees. They produce such huge volume of packages and queens, that they work in a fury of activity for just a few months a year. Honestly, they cannot listen to their mistakes. But, you have the option just to be understanding, they tried but failed and try a different smaller company next year.
great video - appreciate the fun and detailed description - in answer to your question, I dont know
Once again thank you for wisdom on keeping bees, always appreciated.👍
Great video and exactly what I was looking for. It's like you somehow read my mind when you're making these! If I had unlimited resources I would donate much of it towards researching cures for the world's currently untreatable diseases, and also buy a nice house in the country to raise my family.
Thank you for video I'm learning daily
I'm about to start beekeeping. So thankful for you sharing information.
Glad to help
If I had unlimited funds... 1st) I would pay off the building fund mortgage for my church 2nd) I would buy the farm that my family rented for over 70 years that I grew up on. Thanks for all the videos! As a first-year baby bee keeper, you have given me a ton of knowledge and confidence, even when things don't work just right.
Very informative. I am observing to decide if I want to try beekeeping.
Hi David. 2nd year beekeeper.. I use the layers hives. Here in Texas I enjoy your videos very much Thank you. If I had unlimited amount of money I would spend as much ti.e as I could with all my friends and friends.
Thanks again
I get my bees next week!! So excited! Hmm.. for sure share with my family and friends.
Awesome Julie, it is exciting. Keep us posted how it goes. Be sure and watch my video on keeping your bees from absconding if you are getting packages.
Thanks for the video David!
Our answer to your question is we would fund education centers around the globe (build, maintain, transport and some areas protect ) to teach the basics of reading, writing, arithmetic, science, history, tech, arts, agriculture and what we would call blue collar skills.
People perish for lack of knowledge.
Keep the videos coming they help more than you know!
If I had all the money in the world I would open orphanages around the world. Thank you for all your informative videos. Learning a lot from you David.
I would provide All the money to those organization that help others that are less fortunate like to food pantries and to organizations that help children that have medical issues like cancer, BECAUSE no child deserves or should suffer tragedies like this. As a side note This my first ever comment in any video that I have watched. Thanks for taking the time to help us new bee keepers. My first year my bees made it through the winter, so making my first split!
you've helped me learn alot and bee more comfortable and confident. thank you
