Doug and Stacy live in a log cabin like the Pioneers. Today Dr Leo visits the farm and we inspect the horizontal hives that we installed last year. This is the first time we open the bee hives in 2020 and we compare the wild swarm we caught vs the weak hive we re queened last year. Thanks for watching and please share the video so we can get the message out about natural bee keeping!

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.

Ok, I am half way through this video, I am not a homesteader, or a farmer, I live in SoCal in a city, and I am ABSOLUTELY FASCINATED by this video!!! I am completely amazed and I can clearly see the energetic differences between the two colonies, coloring of the bees aside!!! Thank you Dr. Leo for such a comprehensive explanation of the thought and process behind what you are doing!!!! It’s so nice when experts break it all down to the non-expert or novice level. This is what a loving dedicated to cause person does, he makes the extended effort to do so because he’s doing it for humanity at large. That kind of love and dedication is FOR REAL and INVALUABLE!!!!

@slowburnstudio1062 4 года назад

If you want to keep bees, you can have up to 2 hives in the City of LA as long as you're zoned as a single family residence. This became legal because of a massive push by urban beekeepers in the area led by Honeylove. It was already legal in Santa Monica and a few other cities in SoCal so if you actually want to keep them, check your local ordinances. It's totally doable in SoCal.

@BostonRocks76_Carmen 4 года назад

Thank God for people like the two of you. I am respectful of bees and snakes, but I don't want them near me. I have pollinator plants, but I try to stay away from the bees. At least I have finally learned how to be calm and not scream and run from bees and snakes. LOL

@janiteeter4896 Год назад

how about trying solitary and friendly mason and leafcutter bees for your garden? Look into whatever solitary bees are native to your area. I keep them on a small town lot, only about 20 of them and my kids pick them up and play with them! They are actually much better polinators then honey bees, don't live in hives they have to defend so they are non aggressive. Frankly I think they are cute little guys!

These videos, with Dr Leo, were the last little push I needed to make the decision to go horizontal. In Florida, I have struggled with keeping bees in the langstroth hives. I have been researching more natural ways of bee keeping because I instinctively knew there had to be a better way for the bees!! I believe the horizontal hive is that way!! I want to thank you very much for taking the time to put these videos together - it’s been very very helpful.

I saw a blog from an urban beekeeper that had a hive in his backyard and said to allow 2 feet around it then the bees will go straight up and out.

nothing is impossible, you just have to get away fron the key board and do it, if i let city by laws stop me when i was in my teens back in the early 70's i would be feeding the hungry today and i heed hundreds every year, for one to sit there and say it is not possible, it just a huge cop out not to do anything

@TRIUM25 3 года назад

Some people argue the bees in an urban area do better than a rural area because of the variety of forage in town as opposed to ‘monoculture’ that may be common in some rural areas.

I once asked her if she was going to lick the tree ? I used to love to watch her . And I really would like to learn all about bee keeping as I want to do it myself .

@mikeries8549 4 года назад

I've managed horizontal hives. Having two or three nuc boxes identical to your long hive can be a real life saver. The long hives get swarmy quickest and if you are prepared ... the neighborhood don't stress out as much.

Windex does not shrink your fingers, lol. It just acts as a lubricant in order to pull the ring off easier. You can do the same job with any lubricant.
