Checking on the Bees!

Yesterday I inspected the bee hives.  I try not to do it more than once every other week, because it puts stress on the hives.  But it's a long time to wait between inspections, especially when things aren't going well.  I think if I had been more careful in my inspections I could have prevented Dave's Bees from swarming.  And now I'm pretty sure the Easter Hive swarmed and I didn't realize it!  I'm learning!



Thank you, Jack, for loaning me your chest camera.  This video would be pretty boring without it.

I spent half a day editing it, so please, enjoy it!

  3. Wow, that is so cool! Thanks for sharing the experience. I've always thought it would be neat to raise bees, and regret not taking the opportunity when I had it. Now I can live vicariously as a bee keeper, thanks to you and your cameras! :-) Great job on the video... love the high speed, text breaks and narrative, too! What a great adventure you are on in the world of bees!
