Hey yall, go check out Dr Leo at horizontalhive.com
great family lots of knowledge for free
Dr leo will also be speaking at the Homesteading Life Conference in 2021
Always make sure to slap the bee hive really hard to assert dominance. 🖐💪😁
When Dr Leo check the lid to find out if it wobbled and the mouse got in that way, he forgot to put the pillow on top and then the lid...
Homesteading life conference when and where?
Can't wait to see y'all again at the conference! Shalom family!

I loved Dr. Leo talking about Russian symbolism. The artwork is beautiful ... a nice gift ❤️What a beautiful human being.
His wife is so talented!
Russians really value art, literature etc. and many are just amazingly talented at painting / drawing or playing a musical instrument etc. I think being indoors a LOT during cold winters encourages those type of indoor activities, to keep the mind working.
Dr Leo is why I got into beekeeping...now I have 11 colonies with most in horizontal hives that I built with his free plans!
Living in the Netherlands, seriously considering starting a first colony because of these videos, no experience whatsoever :p
Dr Leo nid Sharashkin is a scholar and a scientist. Born in Russia, he received a master's degree in natural resources from Indiana University as well as a doctorate in forestry from the University of Missouri. Dr Leo Supports Russia's RIGHT to reclaim its territory. Ukrainians are getting murdred.
I got a tip: spin the drill backwards counterclockwise . It will still cut. You will get perfect hole and not damage to the aluminum. I do it on all kinds of materials.. Nice video.
Touched my heart watching Dr. Leo give Doug and Stacy the beautiful design for the bee hive.
Ours as well
@@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY but I didn't understand the swastika in the artwork. Did I hear wrong?
@@THEWIELDBOYS8700 Swastika is not inherently a Nazi symbol. If you study ancient history the swastika actually revolves around secularistic teachings of soundwaves in water, it also has inherent symbolism for the Buddhist 8 fold path. it was in a lot of ancient Egypt, or Khemetian culture. The American Indians recognized the swastika as a holy symbol. The Slavic Culture recognizes the Swastika as a holy symbol. Here is a fun fact. if you spin the Volkswagen symbol at about 432 rpms it makes a swastika. 4.32 htz is the natural frequency of the Earths resonation. the earths circumferance is 432000 lengths of the Ancient Great Pyramid of Giza. We are 432000 miles from the sun. The rabbit hole is deep. Are we in a simulation?
Oh and Swastika also represents life, the golden spiral fibbonacci, and the path of fractalization
You know Spring is springing when Dr. Leo comes to the homestead!
I just participated in Dr. Leo’s class this March and I had such a great experience. If anyone is interested in learning how to keep 🐝 the natural way he is the ultimate resource. He and his family are welcoming and so knowledgeable 🤔. And on top of that ALL the proceeds from his classes go into saving 🐝 and providing them with the most amazing sanctuary. I really can’t say enough about my experience!
Really good stuff!
I did the workshop in October and absolutely agree! There was another attendee that had been to three or four previous ones...I’m sure he’ll attend more too!
I am signed up for June’s class
Because of this channel Doug and Dr Leo I have built 2 Horizontal hives and I am getting my bees in Two weeks. Thanks guys wish me luck!
Break a leg❤️✅
Rotsa Ruck!
My wife and I did the same last year with great success as they seem to have overwintered great up here in the mountains of Idaho. Hope you get as much fun and joy out of them as we have!
Same!
I been wanting bees for years, but I move multiple times a year. Last 2.5 years I moved almost 20 times. So need to wait untill I settle down.
My plan was a flowhive, but I been thinking avout going horizontal because of price and it looks better to over winter them because og isolation. I live in Norway so might be a good solution.
Will later get the flow hive when I have some strong hives going. The question is if I should use langstroth frames or layens frames.
Layens seems like a stronger and better frame in a horizontal, but if I use langstroth it will fitt in the flowhive aswell.
Might go layens and then just cut out some comb and mount it in the longstroth with ruber bands if needed.
Still be a good time untill I can get bees. So we will see.
This video should be on television: it is not only amazing but educational, a school of humility: one must be able to face one's mistakes, missing is human, it's a shining example of how people should treat each other: friendly and polite. Thanks for the lesson. Keep up your fantastic work.
Dr Leo’s the best!
I wish i could get him to mentor me.
@@reneebrown2968 I did his workshop in Cabool last October...not the same as one on one mentoring but amazing nonetheless!! Totally worth every penny!
It’s wonderful the way Dr Leo expresses his great love for the bees and their hives, and what a beautiful gift of art he and Irene have given!
How fortunate to have Dr. Leo as your personal beekeeping mentor! He inspired me to start natural beekeeping. Beautiful art!
Man watching this is gonna be the highlight of my day!
That painting truly is an amazing gift. The time spent with y'all in mind make it so much better than any store bought item!!!!
Rust--Oleum, (sure there's other brands as well), makes a "Marine Spar Varnish" with a UV Inhibitor that may make your lovely print last even longer and fade slower.
Breaks my heart to lose your bees but, that lesson is priceless for all of us. Great tip about protection
we find up here in Northern BC, Canada...we find horizontal hives don't winter over well here. I know of many who have tried but for some reason, they just don't do well. I wish they would as i get older horizontal hives are easier to deal with. Great video as usual
Have you insulated the sides like Dr Leo showed? This will make a difference as the walls are usually too thin for winter without insulation.
@@maryannecarter2632 I don't have one of them hives but i know lots of people who. Yes they fully insulate them, even underneath. I would like to try one once as an experiment to see if I could get them to work.
I’ve heard similar stories regarding overwintering of horizontal hives
I think they are doing something wrong, my cousin is going on 3 yrs with them in northern Alberta and they are thriving!
Sending so much love and thanks to Dr. Leo, his family, and Doug & Stacy. I'm in Alberta. We had a milder winter than we expected. I wrapped my five langstroth hives with alpaca duvet but to size and then typar as wind protection. I was shocked that all made it through, healthy and happy, treatment free. I started with two nucs(my yard is permaculture paradise for them) turned into five hives plus a late swarm I gave to a friend as I'd ran out of equipment fall.
My lovely brother is building my first insulated layens hive now so I can put a swarm from my bees into it this spring. You're both changing the bee's lives and I feel very blessed to be able to find so much information for free. I'm so excited to switch over to layens and treat the bees to less stress.
The painting is absolutely beautiful!
Nice to see Dr. Leo with you today! I love the story of Dr. Leo's wife's art. So beautiful! I love learning from Dr. Leo, and Doug thank you for sharing him with us. This hive is so beautiful ...
I also know that bees are attracted to colors, I’ve seen times where they completely covered the seat on a John Deere tractor that was yellow but left the green alone, I’m sure different colors mean different things to them and has something to do with identifying flowers and all that butI’m sure in some respects either recognize or start to identify the color with the hive like they were with flowers or anything else
I don't get many honey bees to my backyard garden but every spring my blueberry bushes are full of bumblebees.
Love how Doug calls his wife honey. Perfect symbolism.
Thank U Doug!! Amazing!! It us Such A Great Blessing the Log Cabin Build U and Stacy R doing for Your Mom, On Your Own Land, Knowing She is Safe and at Hollering Distance too!! Bless U All Ever More!! 🕊👑🙏
Love when Dr. Leo teaches us all. I do know a mouse can get into anything the size of a dime. 😒
Dr Leo’s plans for the horizontal hive is awesome. I built a couple last year and they are the best way for backyard beekeeping
When you set the pillow on the ground he could have climbed into the pillow so when you put it back he chewed out.
I think this may be right!!
Dr Lee that is beautiful art for the hives! So thankful we got to attend the conference last October. Looking forward to setting up our swarm boxes.
I LOVE SPRINGTIME💖🌻🌻
Thank you for this educational and entertaining video Dr. Leo, Doug and Stacy. I can't wait for tomorrow's bee video!
I LOVE Dr. LEO so much. Nature , beauty, creativity...this is the new earth with light in action!
I am so thrilled to see another bee video. We bought all our books and supplies from horizontal hives and are making our bee swarming box today. Thank you for these videos. My husband is in a wheelchair and he's ready to do this thanks to all your videos. So appreciate all you guys teach. God Bless you!
We love the bee videos, we get so much value from them and from Dr.Leo. We have been buying bee supplies from him and using his bee hive design.
What a beautiful and meaningful gift! Doug, now you need to decorate the other hives too. Thanks to you and Dr. Leo for teaching us all about bees!
Dr Leo has such a nice personality. Really appreciate him sharing all his wisdom.
The new dance, Mouse Pounce, has been demonstrated! Lol!
That's a beautiful painting.
Dr Leo, that is beautiful!!! I always learn more when Dr. Leo comes by.
I loved the video 📸 thanks Doug 👍🐝🐝🐝🐝
It was good to see Dr. Leo again and learn more.
Thanks for the wonderful message, Dr. Leo & as always, Doug & Stacy🤗❤️ It makes me want to build a small hive in my senior years🥰
Great to see another springtime bee video! The horizontal hive I built last spring and the first bees we've ever had did great over the high mountain Idaho winter and I can't wait to get my Layen's hive box finished here with my Layens swarm box ready to go. Just waiting for the flowers to start to bloom so I can do an inspection and get my swarm box up for the season. Thanks so much for the great videos you three! Also the website and wonderful books you provide Dr. Leo, they have been so informative and a pleasure to read. I can't recommend Dr. Leo's resources and guidance enough!
Thank you Doug for bringing such a passion for life everyday, you are an inspiration.
While watching a few men on youtube an American and a Canadian learning how to gather honey from a wild hive, they smoked the hive heavy with a smouldering branch. They said the bees would stop attacking them because they would be more intent to recover the honey before it becomes destroyed by the smoke. So that smoke results in the bees thinking the tree or forest near by is on fire so they go to gather what resources they have to transport it to another location where it is safe.
Doug, Dr. Leo, Good to hear you talking bee business! Hats off to Doug allowing us to see the ups and downs unexpurgated. That's a true learning resource. There is a purity to Irina's painting, seeing it glowing in the woods. I don't have hives yet, but I may well soon have a painting!😀👍. Regards Stephen.
What a beautiful and thoughtful gift from Dr. Leo. His wife is very talented and I’m learning so much. Hope to be able to start my own hive by next spring.
Dr. Leo is always so informative!
… and what a nice gift he brought for you.
It is always nice to see Dr. Leo! and love how he cares for his bees! What a beautiful Hive Doug with the art work.
What beautiful art and explaining the meaning of art makes it more beautiful
I cried happy tears when Dr. Leo installed that Wonderful artwork on the front of your hive! It really is gorgeous. I love when Dr. Leo comes to visit your homestead!!! Good Vlogs 🥰🤩
For drilling through aluminum, I usually start off with turning the hole saw backwards, and I drill a slight angle… less than 10 degrees and file the edges later. I have been installing commercial door for 30 years and drilling the steel doors often happens…
Great to see Dr Leo. The hive I ordered from him arrived and is on my porch. My first bees arrive in May. I also am preparing a swarm hive and plan on building a few more hives. Thank you for the update.
☮️🐝-Kirsten
❤️
I built one of Dr. Leo's long lang hives this summer ( first bees ever) and the bees made it through the Canadian winter Im so excited.
Love the beehive art and Dr. Leo. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for this intense opportunity for knowledge that is universal. The painting being great ancient symbols that live on...Special love and thanks to Dr. Leo and his wife Irena for this work of art 🎨 💜💫
..
doug you are so entertaining! and dr leo is so genuine! it is always a pleasure to learn from your videos with him. thank you sir!
Very pretty pic! We need to transfer our bees to this type hives. We just bought one of Dr.Leo’s books excited to read it.
Amen to what Dr Leo said about the beauty of the hive expressing outwardly what he feels inwardly about beekeeping and communing with nature. Your gift to Doug and Stacy was beautiful... your wife is very talented.
Just finished the book. Going to his bee conference in May so excited. Thanks Doug and Stacey for all the vids.
I LOVE these videos! Keep ‘em comin! Some “construction” tips (based on working with an “empty” hive): 1. Clamp the artwork to the hive, reach inside and mark the holes with a pencil. (Will save a ton of time measuring and possibly making an error). 2. As someone else said, run the hole saw in reverse. No need for the plywood “sandwich” etc. but certainly use a wood base to drill into. It’ll help with any possible tear out as well as just be a base to drill on. 3. Screw a “ledger” board to the very bottom of the hive, that protrudes beyond the face of the hive to set the artwork on while the silicone sets up and you replace the corner brackets.
What a beautiful thought out gift to have given you.very beautiful meaning to the artwork.love the drs.sharing the knowledge of everything.you were truly blessed..
Beautiful. What a good friend to give you this wonderful work of art. All 4 of my Brood boxes are a different color and all entrances are in slightly different directions.
One of my hives has an entrance that is a bit large. I think I need to add some mesh over it. So far the bees are still coming and going on warm days. Love Dr Leo!
What An Exquisite gift. Very gracious and symbolic to the doctor's ancestry, and so very cool!
Can’t wait to get to Dr Leo’s seminar next month
Beautiful art work . Love the keeping bees with a smile 🐝🤓.
Love Dr. Leo!! Thanks Doug and Stacy!!! And Thanks Doctor ☺️
Wow... thats how my parents called me to come home..lol years ago.. I love Dr. Leo wife painting.. just beautiful...❤
The bee Russian painting is absolutely gorgeous ❤️ Nice to hang indoors too!
These bee videos teach me so much. Thankyou all.
I have watched a TON of your videos, and this is my favorite, by far! It brought tears to my eyes when Leo gave that painting to you. What a wonderful sentiment! I am a very giving person, and I love to give the "perfect gift" to people I care about. That gift was a true example of a loving gift from his family to yours. ❤️
Thanks Stacy for answering my question about the lamb so quickly.
Another fabulous video Doug! Love the artwork on your hive. Learning lots from your videos and am very grateful to you for taking the time to teach us so much! God Bless 🙏🏻
I love Dr. Leo!!! So much knowledge and that accent 😍
Love the new art work and Dr. LEO!
Love Dr. Leo!
What a very nice man !! Love to hear him speak...... Love to learn from him !!! Thank you ! 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Thank you for sharing...The drawing is amazing! It actually inspires me to do more drawing myself. My sister is getting into bee keeping...I think I too will paint something for her on her hives. So very exciting! Thanks, again for sharing!
Great to seeing Leo again
Dr. Leo. Thanks again for stopping by. Always enjoy and learn from you. Cheers
Beautiful artwork!
Beautiful artwork touch of class.
Love the artwork, great job!
Love the artwork!
Wow that picture for your beehive is absolutely beautiful.
Wow! Looking at all the lovely things on his website!
Awesome stuff! Thanks! To drill the Al painting, I would have marked a plywood sheet with all three hole centers, clamped the Al between two plywood sheets, then drilled all three holes without the necessity of fiddling around 3 times to drill 3 holes. But that's just me.
Gorgeous!!!
What a beeutiful gift! We are fulfilling my long time dream of keeping bees this spring, as well as am bottle feeding my first lamb. We are waiting for the call that our next bottle lambs (ewes) are ready. We have been working our mini hereford farm for the last 6 yrs. So glad to be back on the land. I grew up a small cattle farm girl.
Wooo pretty.... nice little history about the picture...👍👍
Have a good evening 🌷🌷🌷
Most excellent Dr. Leo!
I love the art work for the hive, beautiful 💝
I super enjoyed, as always.... Dr Leo's episodes on your channel. His philosophy of "beeing" part of the process is more fulfilling than the end rewards. Love the Pooh Bear quote too. Realizing where we all fit in this world. Very deep and very spiritual, not to mention inspiring. Very Beautiful artwork by his talented wife depicting their culture and heritage. Thank you for sharing this video.
Loving seeing Dr. Leo and that painted metal panel.....it... was....AMAZING!!!
His wife is a very talented artist.
Sorry about the mouse getting in and losing your hive.
Great video Doug! Thanks!
Thanks for the information and cool story
Beautiful! 🙋♀️🐴🍃
Our first stab at a bee hive last year was a total fail! We started with a "package" of bees from who knows where and we think the Queen died and the bees flew the coupe!! We're going with a Nuk of local bees due a couple weeks for our second attempt. I love the artwork Dr Leo brought that is very inspiring to me for future hives! Thanks!!!
Beautiful artwork Dr. Leo
“The outward quest for inner beauty!”...love it
Im enjoying them very much seriously thinking bout starting one
Love the art work
Beautiful art work and a lot of great information.
What a lovely drawing.
