have you guys checked out advoko makes (you tube)? He has an excellent set up for bees without disturbing them at all. I’d like to know what Dr. Leo thinks about the set up and how he thinks it would work. If you haven;’t checked it out yet, please do. it is so interesting. thank you for the hard work!
Dr Leo and his books were a great help when I started beekeeping in 2020. I build only insulated, non vented, Layens hives with only a single entrance opening. Great for Iowa winters.
Thank you so much for introducing us to Dr. Leo. I have kept bees since 2016 but it was too much for my fake hip so I had to give it up. Learning about Dr. Leo and checking out the horizontal hives website changed everything. I used his free plans and had three hives made. Just caught my first swarm this year and I can't believe how easy it has been to use this hive. Not only that but the bees are thriving. I have read Keeping Bees with a Smile over and over. It is nice to have my own ideals of beekeeping affirmed by others. Am so thankful for D&S and Dr. Leo.
Dr Leo is a true blessing to those of us who strive to live closer to what our LORD wants for us. His books are easy to read and understand. When you add in Dougs bee video series all that’s missing is the bees! Honestly, doesn’t it make more sense? Everything that can be turned into an “industry” turns out not to be best for all concerned. The bee industry kills bees. Weakens bees. Weakens honey. (Honey, Another blessing from YHWH.) Thanks Doug for introducing us to this wonderful man. Thank you Dr Leo for teaching us!
Oh Doug! This series was the best for me! My husband loved bees. Me...not so much. I'm very allergic! I treated Terry one birthday to bees. I watched from afar. I began to love it. It is so fascinating! Then he passed 01/2022. I was lost. Thank you Dr Leo! Great help from you both.
Hey Doug, thank you so much for being candid and speaking the truth about what is going on in this world. You and Stacy are good stewards with this platform. God bless you both!
Hi Doug, Stacy, and Dr Leo. As usual, your video has a huge amount of valuable information for any beekeeper. I caught a Wild Bee Swarm in June 2023. This was the beginning of a new challenge, how to work with the bees. My bees have a “comfortable pied à terre” in a Layens Horizontal Hive in my backyard. I recently performed my first inspection of the Layens Horizontal Hive (video is on my channel) the bee colony survived the winter without any problems. I do not use any treatment or supplemental feeding for my bees. I am very happy that the family of backyard beekeepers is growing thanks to beekeepers like you.
I've caught some flak for this following this design. I love it, it's very non-labor intensive, unless you try and build your own while trying to keep up with them. People around here in MT do not know about this method, it'll take -30F like it's nothing. And he's right about leaving them honey.... I rarely have to feed them in spring.....
7:28 Agree 💯 on saving honey for the bees. Giving them chemically processed sugars, GMO sugar beet, cane sugar, or candy is like an insult to their amazing abilities to produce a nutrient dense product.
Man, what an excellent video! Thanks for all of this GREAT INFO Dr. Leo and Doug! Our hive Swarmed off about 2 weeks ago and we were able to start a new hive from the one that swarmed; now we have 2 hives!
My grandfather had an apple orchard, fruits and bees. He got to the point over the years, where the bees would just be calm when he would walk over. He didn't have to smoke them anymore.
The bees probably got used to him and recognized him and didn't see him as a threat. There is a video of a guy on TH-cam who has a pet small jumping spider that likes to sit on his keyboard while he's working at his computer and do high fives with him. It's the cutest little spider, and I suppose those little insect creatures have some way of figuring out who you are.
Im here for the bee sting therapy. I have stepped on bees nests while walking in the woods and the pain is indescribable. I’m not worried about snakes, bears or other animals but I am always concerned about those bees!
I found these lozenges with propolis , and manuka honey,, while I was suffering for two months with covid. My gosh,,, the benefits!!! They help us so much. Praise God for bees. Without them,, no food, no Propolis. It is amazing. ❤❤❤❤
The Legendary Dr. Leo! Most legitimate knowledge here! 🙏Much love. I have my setup ready. Thanks for the plans from your site! Traps out and ready for the journey to begin!!!!
Awesome! I just got stung a couple of weeks ago. It was on the palm side of my left pinky 🤙 talk about smart😮 I walked around and cussed for a minute.😅 It pumped out 3 or 4 times before I got the stinger out. I actually felt it for days. I'm not sure I noticed a benefit?? Not saying it isnt true but also I do think sometimes a second pain can take your mind off of the first pain. Thanks, DOUG, very informative!🐝
Awesome I absolutely enjoy all your videos and love when you have Dr.Leo teaching about the bee's. I do have a neighbor who keeps 🐝 bee's and I actually don't cut my grass because of the wild flowers that they come visit every year, it's really awesome 👏 😊. Thank you for sharing 😀 ❤️
I have been beekeeping since 1959. I do not use broods or supers. I use little hives with 3 super frame size frames, CONRADIE MINI HIVES stacked vertically
I’m on my 3rd year of this natural beekeeping thanks to Doug and Dr Leo I love it and my hives are doing very well. I have his books and what an amazing experience!! Thank you both. I built 3 horizontal hives and my own frames and never need to feed them sugar ever!! Excellent video!
I am so glad that you introduced me to Dr. Leo! I am looking foreward to seeing him in person at the Conference in May! Something everyone should try....at least once......bet you come back for more!
Hello Dr Leo and bug I have caught a swarm on layens frames in the trap can you tell me how long does the bees to build Combe on the layens thanks love your TH-cam videos Very interesting best wishes Andrew Terry
I can literally listen to him talk for hours. When we move to start our homestead I will definitely be ordering things I need from him. Ordered the books for now.
What a great teacher Doug. You are an amazing guide for us building our "steads". Always enjoy your commentaries.you and the Ms.'s are Community Angels.
Dr. Leo Videos are the best of the best. So much generosity for us beginners. Caught our first swarm and they stayed in the hive. So much hope for honey. Grateful for learning about Layens Horizontal Hives and all the free plans to make everything .
Thanks to these videos with Dr. Leo I got started with bee keeping 3 years ago on our 2 acre suburban lot. We have 5 hives right now. It is so great to see him back here. I learned a lot today (practice picking up drones to help with picking up queens was a great tip_.
Thank you, Doug and Stacy and Dr. Leo. I have the swarm trap up. Looking forward to starting my own colony. Bee keeping with a smile was very informative.
I stepped on a bee last year walking barefoot. It startled me, but really didn’t hurt. But man!!!! The itching didn’t stop for a week! I almost tore my skin rubbing it for comfort. I put stuff on it. I was glad I got stung bc of the benefits. I’m not afraid of bees. My Dad kept bees when I was a little girl over 60 years ago
Very interesting, am going to share this with my sister in law. She has equipment for bees but has not gotten bees and set up her hive. This would really help her I think.
Bee 🐝 happy it’s Spring 🌸 and have a great week Doug and Stacy. Well done very educational about our lovely 🐝 and they sting being beneficial in many ways 🌸🌞
Also like he was saying be selfsafisant if you do buy a hive it's so easy to split them once you get them going you can catch them with traps you can also get swarms that is very easy also you can hunt for you bees and find where they live by setting a bait box and mark them then follow them to see where to place a box for when it swarms
Thank you for putting this video out there! There are books and suggestions out there on BVT (Bee Venom Therapy). Like must have an epi pen to start. Take high dose vit C to help avoid reaction. Avoid alcohol around stinging. Start on back one inch on either side of spine at first so swelling is on back. Work down arms and legs eventually. Following acupuncture points and meridian lines are beneficial. It has helped me and many others. I usually don't comment but I wanted to add some possible useful information and encouragement for anyone brave enough to try. I love your style of beekeeping! Best!❤
Love this Doug and Dr Leo, I have recently started a bee keeping course in England so it's really interesting to learn the natural way alongside. This is exactly what I need, I am going to look at all your bee vids on both channels now. Thank you both so much 🌳🌺🐝

Great show
Not sure if your aware but the sound of bees in a bee hive has tremendous healing frequencies. That would make a great video!!!!
I have loved this little mini series you've had on beekeeping. Solid information. Well done.
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing information and no bio-hazard suit required. Love to watch Dr. Leo explain bee keeping principles.
🍭SWEET🍭This gentleman was absolutely charming! Thank You Doug & Stacy!🙏🏼💖👍🏻🌞
I agree 👍.
Doug & Stacy. It's so good to see Dr. Leo again. Doing what he does best, keeping Bees the natural way & with a smile.
I love listening to Dr. LEO. Thanks Doug

That makes more sense. Wow. That is their real food anyway. Nectar and honey
Doc inspected Doug’s bee hive wonderful 😂!

Always enjoy watching Dr Leo. Everything he says is Logical. And he's funny!😂
I've been getting my wife into helping me as well.... you just learn how to be with them and you learn how to deal with something you can't control
Simply amazing....all of it, Dr Leo! Thank you so very much, and thank YOU, Doug, as always!
Just when I thought I couldn't love bees and you guys any more comes this gem 🐝💕💌
My grandfather had an apple orchard, fruits and bees. He got to the point over the years, where the bees would just be calm when he would walk over. He didn't have to smoke them anymore.

Dr Leo is the lendgend bee keeper he is the best out there and very natural love it
Im here for the bee sting therapy. I have stepped on bees nests while walking in the woods and the pain is indescribable. I’m not worried about snakes, bears or other animals but I am always concerned about those bees!
Same, very interested in learning more. My parents are from Mexico and say they use bee stings for arthritis therapy.
I have used essential oil by YL ..purification to take away stinging sensation and reduce swelling. I am allergic, so this has been a blessing.
Thank you for the bee videos! Even the little lamb is enjoying this😂
I found these lozenges with propolis , and manuka honey,, while I was suffering for two months with covid. My gosh,,, the benefits!!! They help us so much. Praise God for bees. Without them,, no food, no
Propolis. It is amazing. ❤❤❤❤
That was one of the best beekeeping videos I have seen so far. I liked the way he references back in history.
I love, love, loved this Doug. I NEVER KNEW THIS. THIS WAS AMAZING🤯 🤷♀️ OUR GOD COVERS US WITH EVERYTHING. PRAISE THE LORD 😊
The Legendary Dr. Leo! Most legitimate knowledge here! 🙏Much love. I have my setup ready. Thanks for the plans from your site! Traps out and ready for the journey to begin!!!!
