Road Trip! Baybay-Tacloban-Marabut Samar: Guess the MPG
Ok everyone! Here it is! The first real "Road Trip" in the world's best used car. In this episode Sheryl, Shelby and I take off from our home in Baybay City, headed for Marabut Samar...literally another island! Yes, we're all excited about the beautiful beach we're headed to, but personally I'm more interested in seeing just what kind of gas mileage I can get out of the world's best island runabout. You'll need to watch all the way to the end to find out the result, but spoiler alert, the little Suzuki Alto 800 was AWESOME! What a great little car it is. After more than a year of ownership, I'm still convinced that this is the best used car you can buy in the Philippines. Don't forget that if you want some official merchandise from the channel please stop over and check out my etsy store. We have some great items available for you and all the proceeds go to supporting our bee farm here in the Philippines: beekeepinginparadise.etsy.com

Hey everyone! I'm making real progress transforming part of my, very jungley farm into a park-like setting. The downside is that sometimes mishaps happen and I nearly got killed. Thankfully, I'm ok, but it could have been really bad. Check it out and see how calm I was about the whole thing. The funny part is that I predicted it the day before and didn't realize it until I was editing the video...

So, you buy a farm in the Philippines. You get a weed eater to clean it up. That doesn't work. So you buy a lawnmower. That works...eventually. Well, that pretty much sums up my past few months. Check it out and let me know what you think. It's hard work, but I'm having the time of my life. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and this place really is starting to look like a park.

Hey everyone! Welcome back to the show. Wait until you see what I'm up to now. The jungle, referred to as my "farm" has been kicking my butt so I get serious and fight back.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Thanks for joining me for another chapter in this rewarding, but sometimes frustrating endeavor to turn a beekeeping obsession into a viable business.

Welcome back everyone! Prepare to have your minds blown! In this video I made three separate trips to a friend's house to harvest honey and you aren't going to believe how much honey he was able to keep in just 2 months. I've been keeping bees for a number of years now but this was certainly the biggest crop I've ever seen from a single hive in a single summer. Wow! I hope you'll watch to the e...

Sal's Pineapple Plantation in Ormoc City: Did I really eat the whole thing?
I just found your channel today. I sub'd and thumbs up. I'll be following and catching up on your past videos. I like your content style. When I was a kid in the early '70s there was a house just a block away that painted there roof the American flag. Of course, Google Maps didn't exist back then. But my, how times have changed. BTW, I found your rooftop smiley face. That's cool! I want to do that to mine now.
Nice video, I'll be going there soon and your video answered a lot of questions I had about the city and area 👍
I have use of two and working on a third plot of farm land in the province
Hey, I just ran across your channel. Are you still putting out content?
Yeah I’m just taking a little time off to be with family. I’ll have new videos out starting late next week. Welcome to the channel. I’m glad you found it.
Samar has some of the worst roads I’ve driven. Masbate is no. 1 for bad bad roads
Thanks!
Is it possible for foreigners to buy properties in the Philippines ?
Hi,Frank!Thanks for another amazing video!
Wonderful place,brother!Could you please share how much is that farm and what is the best way to purchase such a property in Philippines,if you have a philippino wife?
You can't own land in our country.
FYI You came very close to turning the frame upside down with the queen cell. If you do flip her you may kill her

How do you go managing Varroa and Tropilaelaps?
Hello! Great view! Someday we will visit. 😊
👍👍👍
👍👍👍
We stayed at Summit , and it was nice, but we do like HOTEL XYZ a little better. It is in the city so in middle of everything
Great road trip. Great mph 👏🏻👏🏻
I love the history there miss PH
Sir use the metric system, you have to get yourself familiar with it. God bless always
Hey, next time tell us if you're going to Tacloban so we can meet and buy from you the honey you produce.❤
👍
Another entertaining, great, and informative video! Full support and best regards/Ned👍👏👍
Gday Guys, yes they do actually count those islands and some even much smaller, hence the exact number is always changing.
Yup, that’s what I thought. Thank you my friend. God bless.
How many Carabao Power is the car?
lol! That’s a great question. I think the correct answer is… “just enough.” According to google the horsepower rating is 48. I know that doesn’t sound like much but that little car can get up and go! I have no problem finding the sweet spot on the power band and keeping up with the big boys. God bless you my friend.
@@beekeepinginparadise5935 Good to know the general had a return policy.
Loved the History you shared...
Thank you. I’m pretty well read on MacArthur. If you want to watch a great couple of videos on WWII history of Leyte and the Philippines check out the two newest videos from The Fat Electrician on TH-cam
Does the car have a lot of ball bearings?
Yup. Mostly by the seventh fetzer valve, HEY! It’s so simple. It’s all ball bearings these days. Maybe you need a refresher course.
Hey man
Glad you’re watching. Thank you. God bless you
Nice trip. Was that American gallons or imperial? My Asawa is looking to get a Wigo....
Thank you so much for the kind comment. My conversion was 3.8 liters to a gallon. Not sure what you call it. The Wigo are nice but I think the name is too weird for me. lol. I can’t see myself driving it. I see Wigo and I hear Go wee. Plus I have a lot of confidence in the product Suzuki puts out. All the quality of a Toyota at a fraction of the price. Plus I think my Alto 800 might have a bit more ground clearance, and that’s important because of the potholes and really inconsistent speed bump heights we have. God bless you always my friend. Bee well.
Hello i love ur farm. I want to have my own farm one day aswell. Where do u get the water connected in the middle of nowhere? Is there a government connection 100 meter away
Thank you so much for the nice comment. We are lucky to have barangay water but it was waaayyy more than 100 meters away lol. That’s what was a little frustrating but it works and I’m really happy. God bless.
@beekeepinginparadise5935 are u also getting electricity? Are u allowed to get gouverment water and electricity on a agriculture lot or do u need permits for it?
@ItsIslandLife I would like to get electric someday but I’m not in a hurry. I haven’t needed it yet but I might in the future. As for being allowed, yeah, our land is like multi-use. I think it’s considered residential. God bless.
Good morning, my friend. Did you think about to keep sheep or goats to keep it clean. And, goats are always trying to hide, but they are lovely pets, have good and healthy meat and if you choose for the right one, you will have milk and can make your own cheese.
Keep watching my friend. I think you’re going to like what you see coming up soon. Lol. God bless you always. Thank you for taking time to comment. I really appreciate it more than you know.
I enjoyed the video so much! Thanks for sharing. Glad Sheryl was home to enjoy it too. Take Care!
Thank you. I’m glad you liked it.
Junk. Bought the small 3 frame unit. When using, it feels like it is going to fall apart. Incredibly light frame and useless legs. The outlet is 1" above the floor of the tank. Stupid design beyond comprehension. For those of you who are wondering WhyTF did I buy it? Good Question. My main extractor needs a new motor and pully. Bought this POS for 175$ used. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY Junk
Hi Carson. I really appreciate the comment and you watching the video. However, I couldn’t disagree with you more… and for some of the reasons that you mention. Mine is the three frame like yours but I paid way less and I got it brand new. I’ve seen it advertised from Vevor many times in the $125 range. Is it light? Yup. That just means it’s ultra portable and I can put it up when not in use. Are the legs flimsy, a bit, which is why I lag bolted it to a pallet, problem solved for free. Along with the leg issue, I learned that if you crank it slowly it doesn’t wobble nearly as much and it still slings the honey out super fast. When I relax and crank it slow and steady I get great results. As for the spout being above the floor, it still works and when I finish my frames the whole thing is so light it’s no big deal to tip it and get the honey out of the bottom. I’m not saying there aren’t better extractors, obviously there are, but I can be counting my honey profits 10 times faster with this machine than someone who spent a thousand dollars on a machine that does the same thing but with fewer annoyances. So im not disagreeing with your criticisms but for the price, I’ll live with it. Do I prefer my Brushy Mountain 9/3 radial? Yup, but I won’t say a negative word about the Vevor. God bless you and thanks again for the comment.
@@beekeepinginparadise5935 Ty brother for the response...My only real comparison is my main extractor. It is solid! I will give you the light weight attribute, it is easy to move around. PEace
Ang ganda! Nakakamiss ang Pilipinas lalo na kapag pasko talagang pinaghahandaan. Thank you for sharing. 😊
Thank you for the comment. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. God bless.
I was hoping you would do more videos about bee farming in da Philippines, and fewer videos where you and your kiddo eat coconut etc. Cheers!
Well I wish I had more good content for you. I’m trying to be well rounded. I have a bee video coming out in the not too distant future. I got my first experience with native bees and it was pretty exciting. God bless
@@beekeepinginparadise5935 Sorry, I was a bit too harsh! You're right some folks enjoy some alternative content and therefore keep doing it the way you want. I'm looking forward to that bee update!
@@keimo2007 no worries my friend. That wasn’t harsh at all. I’m a big boy. I can take it. Bee well.
Great video… relaxation 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks buddy! I appreciate the comment and the thumbs up. God bless.
Full support as always, and best regards/Ned👍👏👍
Thank you so much my friend. Glad you’re watching and I appreciate the comment. God bless.
Merry Christmas. I did not know Phils is eight months ahead.
Nah, just four months behind. lol. Hard to tell by the weather. It never really changes here. Just some time of the year is wetter than the other. God bless.
@@beekeepinginparadise5935 Thank you. Now I know when to go to Phils. I am planning August which is May here in Ontario. I hope to see you guys.
lol. The weather here is always better than in the great white north. No bad time to come. God bless and safe travels!
Love the festival over there new bee keeper here in SC coming over this summer
Awesome! You’re going to love it here. Thanks for taking time to comment. God bless. Travel safe.
Hey man
Hey buddy! Thanks for the comment. God bless.
Prepare some plots to plant some vegetables, this way you will harvest assorted vegetables and minimizing mowing. You will enjoy farming more...😃😃😃
That’s the plan for the other side of the farm where I planted fruit trees. My plan is that eventually it will be a combination of fruits and veggies on that side and park on the side where the bahay kubo is. Thank you for the comment. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. God bless. I hope to hear from you again soon. Bee well.
Good job, Pars Brent. Hugs to Shelby!
Thank you. Wait until you see what’s coming soon. God bless
There goes Brent rolling on the grass again in his white or used to be white tee shirt. No! Brent. I said still toes work boots, not bare foot like Kuya Digoy. His feet are seasoned. But the farm looks great! Heck of a job Bud! Take care, greetings to the wife.
lol. I didn’t roll around. That’s what flew back out of the mower with the back flap wired up so it wouldn’t clog so much. It’s nice to go barefoot on the lawn now. No sticks or thorns or anything but soft grass. God bless you my friend.
@@beekeepinginparadise5935 Btw Brent. How are the bees doing? And how's the honey flow?
Am so envious, you have rain. Btw, recommend hanging something from the end of the grass flap to deflect the cut grass away from you. It does look great Brent. Glad to hear you are all together, enjoy. Take care and kind regards.
Thanks Ian. Shhh don’t tell anyone but I filmed that at the beginning of December. That’s why I had so much rain. We have still been getting some rain at the farm every other day or so just not buckets like a few months back. Actually, now that the grass is cut and under control I have the flap down and use it like a mulched. It works perfectly. Thank you for the compliment and for watching. God bless you always.
dont paint ,wash with bleach and let the sun work on them
Do you mean for the rocks and the cement posts? I wouldn’t have even thought of that. It sounds way easier and cheaper. Thanks for the tip! God bless and please keep watching.
you ought to plant some moringa and let it grow , dont eat until it gets gigantic , then you will have all you ever need
It’s like you’re reading my mind buddy! A few weeks ago I planted about 10-15 and then last week I planted another 28. I’m going to be set for malungay if they all live.
YESSSS we got a park ! Looking up cost of a Ride On Mower cheapest i could find for you is 2 K AU second hand so i get what you mean.
Wow! That’s a bit spicey. It’s ok I’m getting old and fat again and need all the exercise I can get. I enjoy getting out and doing it. Now that it’s all short I can do the whole area in 3 hours. Not bad at all. Thanks for the info my friend. Please stay in touch. God bless.
Frog grass would be nice to replace your grass, it won't grow that tall and less maintenance
That’s interesting. I’ve never heard of that. Thank you. A neighbor stopped by on Tuesday and said I have carabao grass. That was news to me. I look down, see green blades…. I just call it grass. lol. God bless and thank you for the info.
wifey is back whoo hooo ..time to watch the double entendre Mr. B a triple entendre is ok
lol. I’ll try to remember that one Mike. Thanks for the advice. God bless.
Beautiful farm!
Thank you so much. It’s truly my happy place and there is nowhere else I want to be.
