Keeping Bees with a Smile is the goal. Have we found the best bee hive? It could save a lot of Bee deaths and labor. Doug and Stacy have several Beehives and like many American Bee keepers they kept vertical hives and even fed sugar water to the bees. Year after year we lost large portions of our hives. With the switch to horizontal hives we have had and abundance of bees that survive the winter. Make sure to check out horizontalhive.com for free plans and resources

About OFF GRID with DOUG and STACY:
We moved to our 11 acres in 2011 from a large city in the Midwest with zero carpentry and farming skills. We live with no solar / wind power / public water or well. We share our adventure to a sustainable life, growing our own food from vegetables to meat. We post videos DAILY and they range from HOW TO to EVERYDAY LIFE and NUTRITION on the off grid homestead. We were city folks just like you probably and wanted to enjoy life and have more control over our food. We share food recipes as well as natural remedies.

Yes please keep up the bee video's because we can save the video's in our RU-vid lists. Also, does Dr. Leo have a RU-vid channel? I don't have a computer so I have to use my phone, to watch & save my video's. At my age at soon to be 66 & with my disability & having to use an electric chair & walker I'd definitely use his hives. Thank you both so much for making these video's. I've been studying bee keeping for a few years now & I'm so ready to start my own. My Great Grandfather was a bee keeper & I've been wanting to do this since I was a kid hearing about his bee keeping experiences. Thank you both for your video's.

I saw one of these videos before and wanted to buy the books but held off. I have been wanting to work with bees for a long time. My great-grandpa and grandpa used to have a bee business. They would take their bees all over California to pollinate for farmers. A couple of years ago, Grandpa got a swarm from a man. I have been trying to encourage him to teach me, but he is 86 and his body isn't what it used to be. He doesn't like change, so I have a skeem to build one of these horizontal hives for "me" for "my" own bees. I am hoping he will like the design and beekeeping will be more fun for him since he doesn't have to lift the boxes off the top. Seeing this video, I bought two books. Crossing my fingers they get here before I leave to a new destination. Thank you all for these videos. I have high hopes!

Speaking of stings for health reasons I found out by accident that it does work. I had severe tendonitis in my left shoulder to the point I could not lift my arm and sleep was difficult because if I moved wrong it was like being hit in the shoulder with a hammer. I went to the Dr. and I followed his orders to fix it but from Feb. to Sept. I was still dealing with the pain. I was in the garden one afternoon and got a face full of ground hornets. Miserable to say the least!🙄 Two days later I realized my shoulder did not hurt as much. A week later there was zero pain. I could raise my arm farther than I had been able to in months. So I googled holistic uses for hornet venom and low and behold tendonitis was the first on the list!👍 God works in mysterious ways! When praying for healing I had NO IDEA HE planned on giving me a face full of HORNETS!🤣🤣🤣

We live in rural Deep East Texas where my husband was born and reared. His family always kept bees so he has taught me some of those skills. I've gone from "You will >not< catch me out there with those bees!" to working with bees with no suit. In fact, because of my curiosity, husband built me a special hive with glass on the top...which the bees promptly covered. lol For awhile, however, I was able to watch as I wished. Our last hive disappeared about 3 years ago. No clue as to why. No die off...they just left. Now, we're really wanting to get more bees. A few days ago a neighbor's grandchildren told me there is a colony of bees in a tree by their house. I'm going to go take a look at them in the next few days with an eye to bring them home to live with us next Spring. My husband is a logger and he >used< to regularly find wild bees in the woods. He would cut the tree, top and bottom of the cavity, plug up their entrance and bring the log home. However, I think our collective knowledge was not enough to properly handle bees. After watching just this video I've realized there is much more to caring for bees! I have Leo's website bookmarked, I've downloaded the Plant PDF's, put the books on my "Purchase" list, subscribed to the Newsletter and will be showing this video to my husband when he gets home. We'll begin to prepare for bees in the Spring! I feel these horizontal hives will be a snap for my talented husband to build. I'm so excited! Thank you, Doug and Leo, for this wonderful video!

The only issue can become space and vertical hives take up less ground to use and thus one can raise more colonies even if they aren't as productive. It's like the logic of a house vs an apartment, the apartment can hold more occupants and uses less space.

Dr Leo called me today himself to clear up an order question I had! Not only do we love the bee series, but we are blessed to have such thoughtful support! Have a great day Doug & Stacey!

Thank you. This was truly a college course on Bees. I don't raise bees wish I could but everything I grow benefits bee and butterflies. Dr. Leo, you are incredible.

@jeffweber8244 4 года назад

Fascinating video. I may decide to keep bees in the future. I found it hilarious though when Dr Leo put on the ear protection to use battery tools for a few seconds. Um, you're messing with a swarm of bees without any protection!

@ronfults3844 4 года назад

This dude definitely knows what he's doing. I can't believe he was that invasive to a colony and did it without a bee jacket, veil, gloves or a smoker. I'm impressed!

This was a very interesting video to watch. I was thinking of a temporary top lid for the horizontal hive, with a hole the size of a langsroth super. That way you could put a queen excluder and the super on top, without cutting any frames. You could prepare a couple of layens frames in your shop, with drawn out comb, to put in the horizontal hive with the queen (you would however, have to find her first :). Within a month you can then take away the langsroth super and put a definitive lid on your hive, as all of the brood would have hatched by then.

@tmiller7528 3 года назад

How is this guy able to seperate all those boards and steal the queen with his bare hands and everything else he does without pissing off the bees and getting stung? Totally amazing to see this. Even noisy powertools cutting the hive no problem....incredible.

@cryingbroken8824 2 года назад

The weather, their hive or something else correctly. Entirely their own fault. Yes, I say that as a bee sting sensitive(not wholely allergic, but sensitive enough to make my pharmacist and family doctor *very* nervous! My neurologist, a beekeeper himself, is satisfied that I'm knowledgeable enough about my own bodily reactions and allergic reactions, and that I'm not taking too much risk, AND AM taking appropriate precautions when "working"the hives on my own...he's OFFERED me a prescription for an epi-pen if I want one around "just in case" but feels I'm developing a tolerance on my own, snd my hyper reaction will decline on its own with further exposure, either stings or their,(specificly) honey consumption. I told him i'd rather not get hooked on using an artificiel crutch and simply allow my system to adapt..he told me I,should be fine in just another season, or two, at most...not that I'm going out to dance the mambo in front of any beehives, but I'm pretty confident I can get new hives now, and populate them with confidence that should I misread the hive sound (an irritable hive is VERY noticable in sound, as compared to a content one)and find myself with an angry insect deciding that I need a close, personal introduction to her "ouchmaker", I shan't be winding up in hospital either.😉😘👏👏💖🙃

@cryingbroken8824 2 года назад

Experience, working WITH the bees and knowing how to read their "mood" by visual and auditory cues..any expérienced beekeeper knows his/her hive well enough to spend a half hour or more "working" in shirt sleeves. If they can't either they aren't reading the

Dr. Leo Is the bee man to watch and learn from. Solid knowledge and approach on the subject of keeping bees like nature intended. The insulated hive is fascinating and make perfect sense. My climate is very hot in the summertime and I have to prop the lid open to cool the hive in the late morning and in the evening place it back down. I see a new insulated hive in my future. Thanks so much for a fantastic video.
