How To Become A Beekeeper - The Bush Bee Man 

Here you go! We have put together a more depth learning series called Basics of Beekeeping: ru-vid.com/group/PL7RwsPNgtFGm_iJleP5yW4erWnE9O2U0K

Thank you to everyone that has supported us over the last 100 episode!

Training videos great idea 🐝

I live in Sweden, last summer was our hottest on record, we always put saucers of water out for the hedgehogs and birds, but we noticed one (under an apple tree) was emptying multiple times a day, so we set up a little hide and watched and it was these beautiful little honey bee's, no-one round here has a hive so I'm convinced it was a wild hive, but they found our little saucer and were coming and going all day long for days on end, it was like aircraft control, 9 would come in, land, have a drink and takeoff, then the next 9 would come and do the same. This went on for weeks. Kinda silly really but we got such a kick seeing them every day, they never gave us any bother and my kids were all so thrilled that we'd been able to help the ladies.

Training video's are a must , a lot of people like myself are keen to get into backyard bees but don't know enough about them. SO BRING IT ON.

Congrats for reaching 100 episodes guys. Here's too 100 more! Legends.

It's honestly insane that you only have 17k subscriber especially since your commentary is very entertaining and informative and the videography is so amazing. Always looking forward to more episodes!

I enjoy watching the Bush Bee Man because he makes me smile and laugh when I watch these episodes.

Yes we are using you as a tutor for our working with bees. Thank you

Those quotes at the end were fantastic. Thanks for the educational slant of this one!

I love Honey dog photobombing the scene.

Congratulations on the hundredth video,I’m keen to join in on a training session,I’ve been studying for the last two years,I just got a license and I’m trying to catch a swarm to start off with.A big kudos to you and your son for the great series of vids you deserve the accolades for your determination and education style,thanks.

he's got the sweetest and nicest way of speech that i didn't realize just how much he curses. XD

Congratulations, guys! I hope to be here with you all at episode 200-- Don't get your asses stung off!

G'day Bush Bee Man & whoever you hijacked behind the camera hahaha, my first time watching your channel and anything Bee related actually as I just had a friend over telling me a bit about it and I have always been curious but I had no idea just how complex it all is and I'm sure it is the tip of the iceberg! Thank you kindly.. Oh and my favourite BBM quote so far.. "Whatever we called the Fukn thing".... Bwahahahahaha.. 😂 Happy Days and God Bless

Thanks for sharing

This is the first episode I saw and I'm going to have to watch more. I am going to begin my own bee keeping soon and found this video. Bush bee man you are fantastic. Training videos would be great

. i look forward to your videos and i have found them useful for some different ideas i have been a bee keeper for many years and you're right about noticing nature i see plants flowering now that i never gave a second glance to before. The first thing i think when i see flowering plants especially lots of them i wonder how much nectar they make, if any. keep up the good work

Just watched my first show,, my misses reckons I swear too much and I’m a bit of yobbo,,at times,, so I’m totally on bored with ya bushman! Funny informative honest,, love it. Brilliant in fact. I haven’t got a hive yet but just moved onto some acres so it won’t be long! Cheers

Yes a video training series sounds great

Yes that would be great.

Congratulations on the 100 episodes! We’d love to see some Bush Bee Man Training videos please 😊

What I was waiting for!

omg this video is hilarious!!!! i love it

A training series would be great mate

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS PLEASE MAKE MORE

"Maybe im a bit endearing or completely insane im not really sure!" Both. It's both XD lol

I'll 🐝 back laters

We here in Washington. State have been watching since #4 video Now you need a battery bee vacuum. On episode #101 at the park when you caught the Queen you would use the vac to pick up the flyers on the outside of it the tree and your off M8.

I have a couple of flow frame hives as well as traditional. I started with the flow frames, and they’re good for beginners with backyard access - for shits and giggles. But they’re way too expensive to have a giggle when you have several hives, particularly when your flow frames candy up or fuck up in some way. Traditional or flow, it depends on where you are and your commitment to large scale bee keeping. Love your vids!

Use a. Poultry watered with some stones in the rim for a watered, works great!

G'day John, just found you through fb, subscribed and keenly watching- we are based in South Aus 😀 jess

yeah, we would be interested in joining up to the bush bee man training series!

Oh Ya...the smoker is a PITA... It works fine until you need it. :O this was a very good explanation for newbys.. Well done :) thanks for the video.. :) Contrats on 100 episodes..

Training series would be great

Training video great idea

💝

I totally would sign up I really wanna start a bee keeping

Hi I am brand new to your channel & brand new to learning about Bee Keeping. I have never been so excited for many years, I have an amazing large vegetable garden in my backyard in Geebung Brisbane. I loved this video as you called it True like I do- No bullsh*t. I am currently learning about the girls & have bought my own suit & go every 2nd wednesday to learn. May I ask where in Australia you are please & yes I am interested in a learning video heaps. Cheers Mate- Denise at Geebung

Mark, beginners aka: noo-bees, often ask what is the difference between the different types (material used) boxes, what is the best and also what is best for them for a first hive? The only thing I tell them is to buy the best suit possible, to avoid the ouch. I have only 24 hives, and most from recent swarms. Still on a very big learning curve and making mistakes every day. With your multitude of box types, what do you consider the pros & cons?

Thanks Mark. It looks like you have quite a bit of messy burr and cross comb in the brood box. How do you find those Paradise boxes in relation to frame spacing and bee space?

As a newbie we would be very interested in your down to earth lessons for beginners.

im definitely up for the training videos

I'd love to see more bee man training, I'm a new newbi, I've got the whole set up, hives, super, extractor but no bees! And I so want it to happen, happy to collect a swarm anywhere. My dad got me into it he lives in tassy and has 2 hives. I just want to get it started but am stuck???? Help bee man!

I would love to see some training for beginners in beekeeping.

4 Hectares in Central Cali. My Bee's are still trying to find out Fall Vs Spring like Birds. I don't use Smoke.

Yes. I would like to do the training.

Very good video, thank you. Way too many of the other 'beginners' video's are too busy yelling at you or telling you what you need to look for but don't SHOW YOU what you are looking for like yours does. WIl be watching more of your vids.

Yes I would be interested in joining up for The Bush Beeman bee keeper web training. Thank you.

huh, didn't see that personality coming. cheers mate for giving es' some ideas aye

Training videos would be awesome!

Training videos yes, you could build an outside Bog and I'd watch👍

The ZEST hive has proven itself to be functionally free of Varroa. The probable cause is that the ZEST is a naturally humid and consistently warm environment. Varroa do not thrive in a humid environment. The ZEST hive is up to 20% more humid. Varroa also does not like a shortened bee pupation period caused by the 39 times better insulation than a conventional thin walled wood hive, which gives the varroa less time to mature in the cells. The bee pupation time is up to 3 days shorter in a ZEST due to its high insulation

I would love to do a video course,we have jumped in the deep end lol

When looking for Queen cells what do they look like vs normal looking? What do you do when you find queen cells?

I have noticed even on your regular older boxes you dont use a inner cover, is this why you use the screen material ? So how do you like the new Paradis Hives compared to the older style ?

Yeah, I'd be interested in signing up to the bush bee man training...

yeah i'd like to watch a training video thanks

best saying ever;; Hello chicky babes

Will the bee affect the nabour?

You did crush quite a few bees when u replaced the honey super.
