    I love this channel and the work that Irina is doing, it’s so refreshing to see another side of Jamaica, not just crime and beaches but also our history, our pride as a nation and people which is exemplified by our young people doing amazing things! As evident in this video.
    This young man speak so well, he is clearly very intelligent and understands his audience which is presumably primarily outside of Jamaica. Hence I had no problem understanding him and I am so impressed with his side hustle (obsession).
    Bees are critical for our ecosystem and without them it will pretty much collapse.
    Keep up the good work both of you, you make me proud.
    I want to get some of that honey!

    His neighbor should be very happy to have the Bee since they pollinate their fruit trees so that they have a great harvest! I grew up on a farm and because of Bee the fruit was plentiful!

  • @jackiedelvalle
    @jackiedelvalle 2 ปีที่แล้ว +53

    Wow I remember when this subscriber contacted you to ask if you'd be interested in his beekeeping - and now there's a whole video!
    It's worked out so well. Sheldon spoke so clearly, professionally, compassionately and knowledgably about his micro-business. I learned so much. And of course that was enhanced by Irie's usual well-researched, well-presented and polished production. Really great work by all involved! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
    Thanks to Irie and other high quality youtubers, my image of JA has changed so much. For years, thanks to the news that was allowed to filter out into western media, JA was just dancehall (which I've always loved), sport and violence, as if it had nothing else to offer the world. Anything positive was always thanks to foreigners. Now I'm seeing so many Jamaicans doing such interesting and progressive things. It's fantastic. Thank you, Irina for your part in changing the narrative. 💗
    BIG UP JA!!!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🇯🇲

    Expertise doesn't come from having a degree in a subject. It comes from having passion that goes over the edge of just a hobby. That clearly is what Sheldon has. It must have been a real pleasure interviewing him without have to play the part of an interrogator to get explanations. Makes your job a lot easier. Good show. Thanks.

    I remember as a child living in Mo bay at Dunbar Blvd we had a neighbor that had a honey farm, and he also had some hives in his backyard, it was fascinated as a child to see one of his arm loaded with bees walking around the front yard, now seeing this video I think it was because of the Nasberry tree. Oh, do I miss those days,

    I recalled growing up on Wellington Street in West Kingston. Shots, my sister's grandfather had a Beehive across the street from the park. He sold honey for years in the Ghetto. I was good handling bees, and I was around 7 years old. You grow up fast in Jamaica. Bless this young man. Thank you for sharing his story. It brought back great memories 💞

    Thank you so much for lending your expertise to the agricultural industry, because it needs it modern exposure. It pains me when I hear that youngsters don’t want to get into farming because it’s lowly, “dirty” work… in one of the most fertile places on earth! 😭 Big up man like Sheldon 🐐✨

    This was quite a fascinating take on beekeeping in Jamaica. And mostly being a beekeeper in Jamaica. Learned so much from this video. Sheldon seems to be a vast wealth of knowledge about the topic too. He was precise and clear with many of the explanations and answers. With sound experience behind it. And as a good neighbor. As he is considerate about his neighbours too. And give a free bottle of honey to them at times. Poor neighbors. Lol. I kid. I kid. They seems all with it now. From what he is saying. Thanks for another wonderful video Irina.
