Collecting a NEW colony of honeybees 

It's quite amazing how much you've grown in taking care of bees, I still remember your first video about beekeeping

Fantastically interesting video. Alex, you’re a wonderful teacher. Your explanations are clear, simple and relatable (even to beer drinking by a pond). Please keep us updated on your beekeeping progress 🐝

That's how i like to start my saturday morning. "This is the way" Thanks Alex

I'm looking forward to seeing all your progress this year, thanks for the great videos!

I have started beekeeping 1 year ago with 3 hives now i have 45 hives thanks to u i had inspiration.Now my next goal is only honey harvest and i hope i make them 100 next year :)

I've had very aggressive bees before. They were mean but they made the bees. The bees I have now are so sweet and gentle. That makes for happier beekeeper. I have 5 hives. Thank you for your videos.

There are a few people how have a high chance of surviving in an apocalyptic senario. This guy, is one of them.

Another great video Alex. Laurence is a top man to buy a nuc from and his aftercare is second to none. You’re in with the right team there.

i am a new beekeeper and your videos are very helpful, thank you

Midnight on a Friday in the states.....Alex video, fyeah!

Heyy Alex you're doing a fantastic job with your bees, you're great at teaching about the bees ,keep up the good work stay safe

I really enjoy these beekeeping videos you’ve been making. Congrats on your new hive!

Happy for you and your new bees! Any update on your alotment ambitions? Have the slugs taken over??

Greetings from Ireland ..Great video Alex…I’m a nubee with my first hive 5 weeks ago…unfortunately it swarmed 4 days after I got it…was at work so no chance to catch the swarm!! Still learning Thanks for all your content…I don’t feel too bad now

Alec please advise your viewers who may get bees this way to follow the recommended instructions by leaving the nuc in the spot they will live for a few hours or a day so they can orientate to that area. Then once they have mapped out the area then transfer to a hive.

Even though I don’t keep Bees the video content you create is fascinating and really interesting. Keep them coming Alex, great effort 👍

Love seeing your videos Alex. You’re such an inspiring young lad. Keep them coming. Hope the bees do well for you. Saw Lawrence’s video when you collected them too. Absolutely fascinating. Really enjoy seeing them. 👍🇮🇪

I am always so calm after watching your videos 😌😌

I am thrilled that you are so knowledgeable about you set your mind to. Greetings! Such beautifully calm those bees are. My solitaty wild bees are like this in my garden. So calm and sweet.

Yayyyy, More Bees!

I got some random bees from a local beekeeper. They are also really calm bees, especially the smaller hives. I realy need to do something wrong to make them sting. But as the hive grows they do get a bit more curious but do not to sting.

Your such a wholesome creator on here. Thank you

great to see the progress of the apiary. Its like 2am here and I've just caught the upload. I hope the new bees settle in and everything goes well for you this year.

IMO still collect colonies from anywhere but use them just for the worker bees and requeen them with known quality stock with known good attributes as soon as possible is the best and most cost effective technique if you can afford it. Its cheaper than kerp buying nucs and will have same results within a month or two.

I always love watching your videos I learn so much from them! I also love the style of your videos and how excited you get about learning such an inspiration. Thank you for making your content and the time you take to put it all together telling a wonderful story while sharing what you learned. I look forward to future videos and updates. Love from Morocco!

Gentle bees❤ All of your videos are so interesting to watch, thank you for the wholesome content!

Another glorious video Alex- love the calm positivity your videos always exude x

Congratulations Alex for being on ITV on Alan Titchmarsh. Love seeing the gardening content on mainstream TV.

Good luck on adding to the colony keep us updated 👊🏼

Great video Alex! I'm looking forward to seeing how your new colony grows. Cheers

Thank you for sharing this! I always enjoy your videos. Well done 👍

Another fantastic video. Thank you so much for that, Alex. Best of luck with the new bees.

I really enjoy your videos. Very interesting. I don't raise Bees. I am a Gardener and love and appreciate what Bees do.

Mum… Alex dropped a new video! It’s going to be a great weekend

Hope everyone has a good day/Night!

an Alex video on my saturday morning? Hell yeah! Another awesome video! Keep it up :)

Great advertisement for Lawrence well done🐝✅

ive never been more interested in bees than now Alex and its all because of you

I am enjoying,on every video which you doing.I am planning to start my beekeepin next summer,and i really can't wait.....

Great short vid! We're inspiring ❤

Please alex post daily, I am really enjoying the vlog

Why are bees being fed sugar in the winter, instead of the portion of the honey they provided? Wouldn"t that make them more strong versus the elements and parasites?

Great watch as always ❤

Well done Alex, fellow beekeeper here, hopefully this will encourage others to start

Super interesting! Would love some calm bees!❤

Great dude .. your videos are mind refreshing. Plus if someone is down, it's a healer. Your videos are also very informative. 👍☺️🥳

Alex this was great I watch Laurance also he makes great videos. That place is beautiful. Hope you have a wonderful week

Thanks Alex, what a blessing video! Amazing content!

Alex, I love these beekeeping-videos, they are so informative.

have a lovely day lads

Can't stop watching ❤his voice is so peaceful, and he is very acknowled, and dedicated.

I work overnights in America so it's nice to have at least one channel upload during my "daytime"

Yaay! new video about bees from Alex!

I just got my first ever bees eariler today. I used a package but im kinda worried bc i dont see a single flower in sight other then my neighbors. Anyways, i sat on a rock for over an hour watching bees getting used to their hive. Heck, i didnt even wear a suit watching them. I only had one bee try stinging me and it was completely my fault, i accidently sqeezed it. Bees are amazing.

Hi, Alex. I recently discovered your channel, and I can’t stop watching your gardening and bee keeping journey. You inspired me to grow my own veggies and herbs again. Hopefully this time I can keep them alive. 😅😂🤣

Congrats for your new hive !!

Nice one, Alex. Keep up the amazing work with your bee's 🐝🐝🐝😁👍

Can you do more skiing I love skiing and I have watched every single video of skiing pls do more

it's always a good day when Alex drops a new video

I see no comments about how great your sunnies look, so here’s one! Your sunglasses really suit you 😎

I'll take a 14 min video once a week over a 40 min once a month.

Yeah black mountain honey helped me loads when starting out great videos from you both iv also brought a F1BF queen from Laurence highly recommended ✌🏽

I've been binging all the beekeeping videos and thanks for those, great entertainment and inspiration.

Awesome!! I love bees!

Those islands bees are normally extremely expensive, greetings from Ibiza isle

Hello Alex 👍

i think you have to tell people that you have a patreon because i bet there would be a lot of people willing to support you that dont know about it

Love your videos Alex! Are these less aggressive bees more vulnerable to more aggressive bees, hornets or other predators?

I become a beekeeper, thanks to you ❤️

You should come to the North American Honey Bee Expo in January.

Great video Alex

Bee keeping is so interesting how long can you leave your bees for un attended so you can go traveling

@ Alex your brother Carl should do a video collab on your channel.

Thanks Alex for the new bee vid :)

Alex, it would be nice if you did a video explaining the different types of bees. (Workers,drones, queens, carpenters and bumblebees)

Another great and very interesting video 👍 keep up the good work

Very interesting, I didn't know so much work went into bee keeping and making me that little jar of honey, 😊

i love watching you beekeeping 😊

❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉bee 🐝🍯🐝🍯🐝 thank you Alex 😁 am in Kampala, Uganda, Africa 🌍 and I really love your bee 🐝 business, farming, education and your travels showcasing bee keepers . I love honey 🍯 but I have never kept bees. Bees here are angry 😡 so I would always chase them .

This was great! Thank you!

Lovely!

I like the music choices on your videos c:

Yay new video 😊😊

Your beekeeping playlist has a leather making video from a whole other channel in it.

Awesome video buddy. You have a ton a talents 🤯

i can’t believe i caught a video this early. hello alex!

Crazy that you have nearly caught upto carls channel so fast

your hive numbers are building nicely👍

What are you planning to do with this year’s honey?

Nice one Alex. Did you put empty frames in with your nuc frames?

Hi Alex! My wife has found your channel and become enthralled with the idea of beekeeping. I'm OK with this! But please. Next video. Tell Charlotte to let Mark have a dog, too. Thank you!

So interesting ❤❤🇺🇸

I’m late! Nooo! I was taking a nap!

yo never been this early to a channel before❤

Nice to see you !

As usual another awesome video but gotta say we need more lol. I have learned a lot from you keep going mate miss the cooking stuff and the foraging videos those were awesome. You should mix in foraging cooking videos and some just cooking videos and your gardening ones when your in-between bee videos watching you learn and grow as you do stuff and how you explain everything is great.

You should visit our country and learn about our Carniolian bees. Also you could see a 100:1 3D bee model.
