exactly. family channels are only good unscripted and when the child actually wants to be on camera. you can tell this family isnt making videos just for the views
This really is the life I would wanna live. On a farm with animals, plants, bees, wild berry bushes, and a place to swim with a nice house. You guys really are super lucky. 💕💕
Just popping in for a second as a beekeeper. Open up your original hive. Find the old queen and move her over to your new hive, along with some brood, empty frames, and some resource frames of honey or nectar. Make sure not to transfer over any queen cups. The bees most of the time will not transfer themselves where you want them to go and you have to be sure there is a queen for them to follow over there. A new queen will hatch out of the queen cup, kill the other queen cups, and go for her mating flight. Within the next 2 to 3 weeks (depending how far along the development of the new queen is right now) you should be able to see eggs and young brood in the brood comb. If you don't, you can transfer back some fresh eggs and brood from your old queen's hive and let them try again or you can purchase a fertilized queen and requeen. Let me know if you have any questions and I will try to help with advice!
@@Nieosl that doesn't fix the problem. They just make new Queens. The issue with swarming is overcrowding of the hive. Your bees know when they need to split into a second Hive, because the hive population has become unsustainable. Your best bet is either to split them, or to remove all of the queen cups, add in new empty frames, and pray. In my experience in a lot of cases your bees are just going to form a new batch of Queen cups and swarm anyways, so I just get out of head of it and have it ready and transfer my old Queen over two new Hive with a bunch of workers and nurse bees
...I kinda would kill to be them. In my family, It’s all yelling and drama. I have depression,My brother is going into his teenager state,My mom has anger issues,And my dad is trying to keep us calm. :/ It’s so peaceful there,This has always been my dream :c
@@monkeyonabed1243 your situation is pretty similar to mine, when my mom gets angry I just don't care bc it happens all the time. My dad is also the more calm one.
Also if you lay your excess wax leavings on a tray back near the hive they will re-collect any honey left it and it will be easier for them than foraging.
I'm not a lover of honey but I was mesmerized at watching those jars fill up and the squishing of the wax to get ever bit you can out of it! 👌🏼🤗 Great video
@@maaike150299 please get more education. Being a doctor is stressful you don't get to enjoy much of ur free time. You don't get enough rest. You never have a Peaceful life. Graduate in elementary first before you comment something that is soo below.
We used to have blackberries and raspberries in our old house. One of my daughters was little and would help pick. The ones that were not quite ready she would call "tomorrow berries". I miss our berry bushes
They do that because the way their eyes and brains work they cant see stationary objects while they are moving so they keep their heads still so they are able to see.
I used to be highly allergic to pollen but after having raw honey, a couple of tablespoons a day for a year I’m not nearly allergic anymore. The honey just like you made it is best, once heat is involved it loses a lot of its health properties. A bee keeper saved me his end caps so I could use the wax to make some balms and salves but I wasn’t expecting it to be so full of honey. I put it all in a cheesecloth lined big pickling colander and let it drip out for about a week and got loads of honey. I also got lots of pollen, bits of straw, flower bits, bee wings and chunks but once the honey dripped out I could use heat to get all that out. I still have a big chunk of the wax, it never goes bad. Thanks for the lovely video. 🙋🏼
I have asthma and I was told to do the honey from bees that are LOCAL to you and it helps your body build up immunity. Keep taking the honey and you may build up even more. Good luck.
jillipepper5353 yup, I had a tsp of local to my area honey almost daily for 18 months. When allergy season comes, I no longer have the bad, allergy headache. I also took, bee pollen in allergy season, I mixed it in plain yogurt.
Your plan to attract a swarm with the combs in the empty box is a good start. You can make it even more attractive to them with lemongrass oil on a cotton swab, just drop it on the bottom board.
ME TOO, ME TOO. CHUCKLE , CHUCKLE. SUMMER TIME, TIME TO SLOW DOWN, RELAX AND ENJOY G-DS PARADISE OF MIRICALS. G-D BLESS. IM 👂 HEARING IMPAIRED. SO I TALK LOUD, EVEN IN CAPS. LOL ITS THE REAL ME.
@@whitehouseonthehill Hello I am new to your channel and I must say I love your content and the amazing videos you produce its always being a dream of mine to have a farm with a house and be self sufficient i was wondering how much did your farm cost if you don't mind me asking? And how long do you have to save up for assuming that you started with 0 in saving to own a similar place Thank you
I've been following your channel for I think 2 years or so, maybe a bit more, and your videos always bring a smile to my face. It so wonderful being able to watch your family grow and expand your farm more and more. Thanks for the amazing content :)
Unimportant Person to the Plot. sadly I wish I was perfect :| one of my biggest anxiety’s is spelling things wrong and I diddddd a now I feel stupid :/
You should plant a wildflower meadow for the bees. This video is amazing. Very educational and great to watch. It’s just amazing to see how the new farm is coming along.
My 5 year old grandson, Greyson and I, just LOVE these videos! My husband is retiring from 24 years in the Army. We are moving to central Texas. He asks every day if we can live like this!!
I love watching your family.. I have 5 young children. This is the kind of life I would love to show them .. it's like you're protecting their innocents this way
I thought when they hung out outside of their hive like that they were cooling the hive. I saw that on Roots and Refuge. Those boys earned their baths doing this!
This is wholesome.... I love that these kids get to grow up with caring parents and to have such an incredible life and out look into the world. They have a respect for hard work and how the world works. They will understand what it takes to make food and a living. Incredible...
and this is what we call life. simple yet full of happiness. life, where foods are free and they're just outside ur house. ❤️❤️ missing my family back home in the philippines. so sad that i need to work abroad(qatar) since then, WHOTH serves to wipe my longings to my family.❤️❤️ stay safe guys.
Shane the food is not FREE. IT requires time, energy and skill to harvest. That is called work. Nothing in life is free bc ENTROPY is the law. Being on a farm is hard work but it is rewarding. Becky & Jake make it look easy but I know better. I know they put much energy & skill into their farm. I grew up in a farming community. Nothing is free but work can be rewarding in many ways.
It’s beautiful to be able to share this video, lots of kids these days think honey, eggs, meat just comes from the shop and have no clue what is involved in this beautiful part of nature that makes the world go round
Hello again, I'm a beekeeper up in NY. A tip I have been told for getting straight comb is to give them a strip of foundation on the top to encourage them to build down. Also I love to see you bringing your kids into bee keeping. Be well
U shouldn’t take all the wax of the frame it take something like 70% of the bees energy to make. You should get a spiner it is muck more effective to havist the last thing you need are starting wax frames Ps the black berry’s and there really good made into a jam if u get enough. Love watching your channel from Australia
Tony Van Duren - we didn't have an extractor and our frames our too big for a typical extractor, since they are in a horizontal hive. This will have to be the way on these hives unless we can afford a large extractor.
Awesome family memories you are making when You guys were swimming I imagine my family one day be able to just enjoy the fruit of our own labor and make memories of our own in our land and home
Hi guys :) Love watching how you grow as a farming family, you learn more and more and do amazing this. I hope I can contribute to this with a tiny bit of information - I know nobody meant any harm, and your boys are amazing, but when you guys find a little hare, don't pick it up or stroke it. Mothers tend to leave the kits if they have been touched by humans - because of the smell. Take care guys, and keep up the good stuff!
You should wait probably two years or so to harvest and should only harvest from what they don’t use by the way I’ve kept bees for years and am a certified beekeeper in VA
Your place is way more peaceful then ours! No construction builders swearing and making loud noises with there trucks, no loud cars driving around! You should be very proud of yourselves for providing such a beautiful home for your family. Btw love your videos❤️❤️💕 You guys are super lucky 🍀 and I wish that one day I will have a home like this,I really really love animals especially dogs 🐶!
It is so refreshing to see a family like this, nowadays everyone’s obsessed with phones, indoors so on, just seeing this is a breath of fresh air, anyone else feel this way?
I so wish he would take a class on bees before spreading false information.. you can get info about a local class from most home depot. Or tractor supply. Please please please take a class. Those bees are bearding to help cool off the hive stop putting them in another hive your just confusing them. Also if you got an extractor(they have cheap ones at tractor supply) then you could give the frames back to the bees.
@@teeonow before I got any creature I researched so that that creature didn't have to pay with it's life for my ignorance. He obviously doesn't.. which is why the last swarm all died... all I said was I wish he researched before he did stuff.. I could have added ..that because if his lack of caring it makes him look like he doesn't give a crap if something dies.
I felt I needed a bath after watching you harvest the honey. I would love to know your neighbor's thoughts when she received the jar. Bamboo seems gentler with you than Peekaboo and Cashew.
I noticed the same thing with Bamboo and the girls... But I think it's cause they actually raised Bamboo in the house whereas the girls grew up with Bamboo outside. 🤓 But who knows...I could be totally wrong...🤓🤓
It’s takes the bees a long time to reproduce the wax so, if you could some how get the honey out without damaging the wax that would be lovely for the bees!you’d harvest more often
I keep reading here that people could live there so they could have that perfect life. It's not the place it's the people. I think that this family would feel peace where ever they are. And a toxic situation would be toxic on a farm or in a city.
You should try to build a little makeshift extractor with a cheap round bin some bike tires and a couple more bits and bobs. Have a look take some measurements and see what you can do
@@arsonsnail Yeah I just don't like how sweet it is! A whole sugar cube is less sweet than honey and I think that the taste in general is not really good in my opinion. But it's just my opinion 😅
ive aways known what you call black berries as "dew berries" black berries form what ive been taught grow from vines on the ground. dew berries are still delcious though having more seed to flesh ratio in my experience
You guys are such a wholesome family. Never stop being who you are. You bring so much joy to your viewers Also thank you so much for adding the music in ^^
