Join Fy Nyth on social media - mewe.com/i/fynyth ! If you are new to my channel and Fy Nyth (Welsh for "My Nest") in general, welcome! I'm Ariel. Along with my husband Clay, our dogs, cats, bees, and some poultry, we live in a tiny house on wheels in the mountains of western Wyoming and are working on setting into our own new little homestead. I've been living this lifestyle since 2014 and my wonderful partner has joined me more recently. What will you find if you follow the channel and watch the videos?
Real life here. I try to show the good and the bad. The ups and the downs. What works, and what doesn't. The parts I love (most of it!), and the things that suck. Not just the showroom version of a tiny house, but everyday life in a tiny house. Not just the romantic idea of "homesteading" or off grid life, but the everyday details of this lifestyle. We split wood for heat, fill the water tank from a gravity fed spring, and attempt to grow as much of our own food as possible between the weather and wildlife here. I hope to help others learn from mistakes and make life just a little easier for anyone else interested in pursuing a similar lifestyle.
We live in a somewhat harsh and cold climate, but enjoy the stunning scenery and wildlife that we are surrounded by on a daily basis. You'll also see videos of the nature and wildlife around my home. If you are interested in my photography or purchasing a photo, I'd love if you follow that over at mewe.com/join/... or ArielCelestePhotography.zenfolio.com!

Anyone who loves anything about nature should subscribe to this channel. Ariel and Clay both have such a calming way for showing us about nature. The hives are beautiful and I know the honey will be delicious.
@pattisaunders7386… I so agree with your statement. Even though I’m 81 and my homesteading days are long over, I started watching Ariel when she first began her channel. Try to never, ever miss a video as she (&, now Clay, too 💞) are the ultimate in teaching how to do things the right way. Plus, her videography & photography skills are amazing…
Thank you Ariel, for the update. It was enjoyable to watch and hear you recount the bees journey since last winter. Thank you for your time and sharing with us.
Happy bees🐝thank you, Ariel♥️
Fascinating, and well explained. May you have a wonderful Wyoming winter and may all your hives thrive!
Thanks so much for the bee update Ariel. It's great to see them happy and healthy.
Beautiful hives! Thank you for sharing🥰
Absolutely wonderful thank you very much 🦋
The bees look great - One day I will get there, my cousin started two years ago raising bees to keep the family tradition alive and I hope to join her in this (hopefully soon).
Happy to see an other bee update❤
I'm happy to see that the bees are doing well. When can you harvest the honey?
All looking bood, thank you for showing us!
Sending Blessings to you and the Bees!
I've been watching you for years and you are the most remarkable person I have ever witnessed.
You are such a lover of Nature and so gifted that I think nature rewards you because of your sincerity and compassion.
You and Clay are the perfect match, and he also is very talented and amazingly energetic. I think your new house is going to be very nice, I'm very happy that your life is beautiful and so is your acreage, including EVWRTHING growing and you're doing.
Bees are another interesting part, it's remarkable once again what you know and attempt. ❤
It's always been a childhood dream of mine to raise bees. One of these days....
Enjoyed this very much. Thanks!
Very interesting. Thank you
I love your philosophy on not feeding sugar and was hoping you have some book recommendations I could start with. Thank you
Wow! We can all now say we got to see a bee emerge! Like being born but not quite.
I also want a consistently cold winter where I am! That was fascinating and it seemed almost hypnotic, i can imagine it would be very meditative in person.
Where I lived in Wyoming, our first big snow almost always hit the week of Halloween… Easter almost always had snow. And one Spring we had blizzard on my birthday on May 25th
Thank you, that was so interesting, especially seeing the bee being "born"! Watching this made me wonder if anyone has a "live cam" in a beehive - that would be fascinating to watch.
A google search ( www.google.com/search?q=beehive+live+stream ) shows several. I've not watched them as I have my own hives to play in.
Recently found your channel and have been binge watching your beekeeping videos. Keep them coming. ;)
I kept bees years ago for my Dad and his orchard back when I was in high school but gave them up when I went to college. I've now retired having just turn 65 and I'm planning to build my horizontal Layens hives this winter as well as some swarm traps. Finger crossed I can get local bees for 2025.
On your comb collapse, the vertical wires in your frames gives no vertical support at all (It's like trying to hold yourself in one place on a greased fireman's pole). The result is comb collapse. I don't know why Layens and Latzutin frames are both shown wired vertically. Langstroth frames are wired horizontally which does give vertical support. Either direction will give the frame support in an extractor. Horizontal wires gives the frame support in the hive. Crossing wires in the frame as suggested by many could help with collapse but horizontal wire will still do a better job in my opinion. Some folks add a 1/4' wooden dowel horizontally halfway down the frame, but I've noticed that their bees are reluctant to drawn the comb down past the dowel.
Having watched your videos on having to add emergency resources during your first year I did wonder why, with your winters, you choose the insulated Layens hive over the larger insulated Lazutin style hive?
Truly fascinating!!
Very interesting. Pray they all make it through the winter.
I believe Ariel has a playlist for the bees and honey harvesting plus processing. She did an extensive video in the fall of either 2022 or 2023.
Thank you.
Have you tried making bees wax candles?
Awesome. I’m looking forward to your video when you harvest some.
❤❤❤🕊️
I had a ton of bees on my jewel weed this year ..I left all the patches of jewel weed alone so they could eat . Pretty sure they were honey bees
yeah our neighbors tried honey here in NH I think she said she tried three times and every year they died and they are not cheap I think she said it cost her 300 to get the bees . SO yeah I saw they have no honey for sale anymore
If you/we continue to have warmer winters, would it help to put some shade over your hives? It might keep them from thawing so often.
I would be interested in seeing how you extract the honey.
Might be a weird question, but how and who fertilizer the queen. ❤😊
