About Life In Farmland: Our family strives to be as self sufficient as we can be. We grow a lot of food in the garden, raise or hunt for our meat, cut and use firewood to heat our house in the cold Minnesota winters. We want to know where our food comes from, what goes on it. We strive to love a slower and sustainable lifestyle with family being our first priority. On this channel, you will find a lot of how-tos, shared experiences, recipes, and videos of things we are trying and learning more about.
I love that guy and his method of keeping bees! I'm in my second year and my first swarm from last year is going crazy! They are in a 14 frame that I made from his free plans. Last year those bees gave me 20lbs of honey. This year looks like a 50-60 pound year! They have almost the whole hive filled now! I caught another 3 swarms this year and I'm getting ready, in mid July, in central PA, to put the new swarms in 14 frame hives. This winter I'm hoping to build a few of Dr. Leos 20 frame hives so the large colonys have even more room to make 100 pounds or more of honey! I never thought I would enjoy beekeeping as much as I do. I have grown to love it! I'm blessed with very kind and docile bees. Most of the time they don't pay me any mind. Part of that has to do with the type of hives I went with. Horizontal Hives are the only way to go!! Thanks for the video! Bry, The Bee Guy!
High production value video. Beautiful. intuitive. When the economic shutdown is over make it your goal to meet with Dr Leo and his beautiful family. He and they seem to me to be in the upper echelons of wonderful people on our earth at this time. And keep some bees as he teaches. Life-changing.
Big thank you to Dr. Leo Sharashkin for taking the time to speak with me. You can check out his website for lots of great honey bee tips and plans. bit.ly/natural-bees
we really reached out to find the best speakers for the event that cover all things homesteading. You can get early bird tickets for 2019 here homesteadinglifeconference.com and you can come see Eric at the next one talking about wood heat and wood tips =)
Thanks for making the trip!!
Great idea to have Eric speak at the next conference!
This was one of the main speakers I was extremely interested in hearing. I was so sad to have missed the conference but am loving the information you’ve shared so far!
I have several friends that are bee keepers. Amazing what bees can do.
I absolutely love this concept. My daughter and I are thinking of doing this at her place next spring! TFS.
Also...I wanted to mention I received my jacket (hoodie) I ordered from you today...it’s beautiful! Very well made and I love the dove. It’s going to be handy for fall! Nice and warm. Thank you to you and your sweet family for all you do for this community. God Bless you all ~Lisa
yo
I'm glad I found your channel & videos thank you.
Swarm trapping is a huge rush, as odd as that sounds. He's fortunate to have a nice feral bee population in the Ozarks, unlike much of the upper mid-west. Awesome video - you're lucky to have met him!
Thank you so much for sharing this video!!! I heard he was a really good speaker!!
He’s a bee genius!
Swarm traps, not swamp traps...but guess both words could work...Thanks for posting the video, Dr Leo is so awesome, I'm watching every video I can find from him.
This is my plan for next spring!! Thanks for sharing Eric!!
Dr. Leo thank you for the video and for showing me the natural way of bee keeping . You are for me awesome! I want to try the darker honey you speak of.
I've wanted to keep bees and will check this out. Planning to attend next year.
How interesting he is! You must be excited to hear from so many people! I want bees so bad but am very allergic. I heard of a stingless bee and have been checking them out. If you have not heard of them do a quick google of what their hives look like. So cool to look at. Thanks for sharing!
Great info! Swarm traps and natural beekeeping are the way to go. Start looking around your area and trying to figure out where you have/see honey bees. Those areas is where you will want to put traps out next year.
thank you so much! Dr. Leo is coming to Texas soon...looking fwd to it!
Great video, Eric! This is a very important subject. Thanks for sharing! :-D
Love & prayers
Today I noticed a black honeybee in my garden, so I caught it in a jar to look at it closer and make sure it was a honrybee, and was just wondering if you could say if this is common here where I live in San Angelo, Texas.
That was some great info. Thank you
Awesome information- so glad I was able to attend We plan to be there next year also!
Dr. Sharaskin, I remember you speaking and teaching my the Mizzou Agroforestry program which really piqued my interest. What are your thoughts of the flowhive? Thank you.
Great information once again.. Thank you for sharing this with us...
Can you link the research study on information you are talking about, thanks
Thank you for sharing this very interesting information...off to check out Dr. Leo's website! And I look forward (I imagine) to seeing you build a hive Eric and family ;)
Great info, thanks ,now I know where to start
I was really impressed with his talks. Very excited to find him and the resources he has available.
Good information! Ive read a lot of his stuff before. I like the idea of the horizontal hives. Did he say anything about difference in honey production from the traditional hive versus the horizontal hive? Best of luck with catching swarms! I hope to have 10-20 hives out next spring
He's a big advocate of quality over quantity with regards to honey production. He produces a smaller amount per hive, but his management style enables him to have more hives with less overall effort, and also sell a premium product at a premium price. The math works in his favor. Good luck preparing your swarm traps for next spring!
I can't remember, did you end up getting a seam this spring?
Greg Smit thanks for the info
Life in Farmland no i did not. I also did not put much thought into what and where i was putting the traps. Im excited that you are wanting to give beekeeping a shot!
Very good
Industries hate the way we think.
great info on the bees. So bees in your near future?
Dr Leo is mainly correct...EXCEPT he doesn't tell folks that bees will not thrive/survive in many areas we put the bees due to lack of untainted forage. Beekeeping in the USA is extremely difficult and the national loss rate is about 45-50% and regionally many areas are closer to 50-70%...
But the question is if the conventional beekeeping is partly to blame for the national loss rate. One example is trying to use Langstroth hives in the northern climates which even Langstroth himself said was not appropriate. The Layens hive may be the better way to go to keep bees in the north. Or at least insulating the Langstroth type hives adequately!
I strongly agree
Anybody know the name of the intro music?
Thank You! I Agree! Leave it to man\ Company to wiggle their way into convincing others of a 'need', so Company can make money.
Interesting!
