Your connection with nature is infectious. I love nature, but somehow life gets in the way. I'm in my forties, with a beautiful wife, two great kids and a decent job, all the things you're 'supposed' to strive for. Your videos are helping me see what's missing and are really inspiring me to make time for the wild world. You are making a difference for all sorts of people. I love it, keep going!
@@just_alex happiness is a very personal thing, don't make your life about things people tell you will make you happy. Do what you know is right for you. Love the channel dude.
Fellow beekeeper myself for around 12 years, but what a great video perfectly describing the key elements of the hobby! I’ve always said that you will learn more and more about the bees from their behaviours because they will often go do their own thing out of blue and against the script - after all they can’t read the books! Know you’ll smash it Alex, keep up the good work!
Keep up the great work Alex, your a natural presenter! You give any subject an interesting edge. I would love to keep bees but I'm afraid my wife would suffer an anaphylactic reaction to any sting she received and I wouldn't hear the end of it! 👍👍👍
What a journey Alex, made me want to start a colony aswell! I'm now in my early 30s and have other goals for my life, but I do miss that feeling at the start of my 20s when you feel like you have all the time in the world to decide where you want your life to go. Ten years doesn't seem much but it really makes a difference. Thanks again for the content, keep us updated!
My Dad kept bees , so I grew up with honey, beeswax furniture polish and even had a go at making candles. The other side was my mother, who had read your in old beliefs about bees being watchers for the family. She had us tell the bees whenever we were going away and when we came home. I had to introduce my husband to the hive when I was going to get married, all of which I did and thought it all rather cute. Then when my father died of cancer my mother took me to the hive and we told the bees. To my shock they were dead in a week. Not sure what that was about… but talk to your bees!
This is fantastic content Alex. Varied and interesting. I'm sure there will be a bit of fishing coming. Once a fisherman always a fisherman. For the moment this is great stuff. All the best.
I enjoyed that.. I've had total hell over the last two weeks after suffering a close bereavement and this is the first thing I've managed to enjoy. Thanks Alex.. hope it all goes well for you pal.
Keep them coming your doing a fantastic job your channel is becoming very diverse something for everyone and bringing the country side to lots of people and educating to well done 👏 👍
I love how you describe everything that's involved in bee keeping it's so interesting to learn. I love going on your new adventure from mushrooms picking to building shelter in the woods and even growing your own vegetables it's all things I find exciting, so look forward to next video.
Great video. I started beekeeping in 2020, it’s a great thing to learn. My lessons learnt are don’t expect too much in your first year (or 2), especially paying your rent in honey. I have had no honey in 2 summers (although I’m in Aberdeenshire which is a hard location with a shorter season) Get good at your weekly inspections, recognising queen cells and preventative swarm control in early summer. We had a nightmare last year with swarming, but did get good at swarm collection! (hence the lack of honey). Make sure you have a polynuc for each hive (for splits and artificial swarming) and an extra one for captured swarms. Get a mentor from your bee club to help with inspections and tag on to a couple of their apiary inspections. Get yourself a second colony as soon as you can. I’m sure in the South of England you’ll get a nuc in May. Good luck, hope you still have time for fishing.
This was one of the first videos 2 years ago now, that made me decide to take the plunge into beekeeping. Just wanted to come back and say my hive is here and I’m picking up a mic this weekend! Thanks Alex, it’s been cool seeing your growth and bee adventures since then.
I am currently educating myself on Beekeeping as it's a hobby I am very much interested in and after watching several American and Canadian based videos, I found your channel. Watching a UK based Beekeeper is obviously better for me as I myself am UK. This is the first video of yours I have watched and what a brilliant video it is. You explain things clearly, you show what we need to see very well and you ooze passion for this hobby! I look forward to watching through your other videos and catching up with where you are now.
Love the wondrous way you operate. My husband and I laugh thinking how your parents must react to the bees swarming. Thanks for the lessons and laughs.
I've always been curious about keeping bees and I really love honey..lol..I remember my uncle use to keep lots of them when I was a kid on our farm and he always loved doing it. The never bothered him and he only ever wore the net hood and used the smoker. Great video Alex!!
Alex you've well and truly changed the game! Loving the content. I came over from Carl and Alex, subscribed obviously for the fishing content. So your content is a lot different than what I'd usually watch. But I love it! Keep up the great work.
Great film Alex...your enthusiasm with your interests: shrooms, bees & fishing etc etc is fabulous! Love it ! Good luck with all your new adventures 🐝🐟🍄
Wow, Alex, such great content my friend! You've inspired me too one day keep bees myself, I can't wait to see how much honey you get on your next harvest.
Your videos have really taught me so much about nature and gave me a new interest in it! I started watching you a couple months ago and I’m still super enjoying your videos!
Me and my little guy are going to watch this again when I get home and I guarantee we end up with bees. He thinks you are a hero, and I think you are brilliant, you have a real loveliness about you and I wish I was as brave as you when I was 20....ish. Top man, Top vids. Live the dream mate and keep trucking. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wow Alex, what a great insight into bee 🐝 keeping, I had no clue their is so much you have to do a deal with to keep them safe n healthy and you have sparked a interest for me to consider starting my own and like you become a bee 🐝 keeper, many thanks
I found your channel from the car camping. But as the son of a beekeeper who has 40 hives I enjoyed this too. You're doing great. Don't worry too much about damp, we live on the West coast of Ireland by the Atlantic and ours do just fine.
just like a few other on here i was gutted that you and carl went your separate ways, but im actually pleased that you guys have, because both of your content is incredible! you guys are properly talented at the films you make, i cannot wait to see this journey you're embarking on! cant wait for more vids dude!
Good hobby funny enough I was looking to start bee keeping and mushroom growing myself last year haven't got a garden unfortunately but definitely will do when I have one
Great video Alex. Another of my interests. I used to keep bees in the halcyon days before Varroa came to the UK. It's arrival has now had a major impact on the beekeeping in the UK. I'd like to keep bees again in the future, hopefully I will when I get to live somewhere more suitable. Keep up the great content, you've got a terrific channel here.
You are an artist in everything you use...music, ideas, editing, and charisma...congratulations! You were adorable at minute 7:00:))...your world absorbs us there...we are there...
Loved this Alex, when you talk about nature, your love of it is apparent, if I were you I'd forget the living in my small car thing and concentrate on the natural world.
@@just_alex loved it Alex, me and my wife are big fans of you both mate and been following you for years, I hope you can find the time to do some videos with Carl again one day some of them are epic 😀 👍
Fantastic video, Alex. I started keeping bees just before lockdown. It can become quite addictive. You end up with many colonies in no time. Your video has great content for a beginner, there are very few videos on TH-cam that explain this so well in one video. I look forward to the next video on the bees. Its amazing that you have very similar interests to me, fishing bees, and mushrooms.
Every tiny little noise every tiny little itch on my body made me JUMP OUT OF MY SKIN 🤦🏻♂️😂 like I had a bee on me 😂 cant wait for the next video on the bees💖 good job brother keep up the hard work you got this !
Absolutely fabulous video - top work. Great subject - I learnt loads and now want to keep bees 😀 You’re super-talented and very natural on screen, an epic combination.
Hi Alex, a fellow apriaist and fisherman, loved fishing especially fly fishing all my life, have had bees for 15 years or so, both great hobbies. The bees will tell you when they're not right, you'll sence it, hear it and feel it. Best of luck in the future 👍
I have zero interest in bees. I just sat through 30:59 and was absolutely invested in them the whole way through. I knew how important they were to our human survival but now I know more about keeping them and how they survive and live together. Great video, keep it coming as I’m enjoying learning whatever you decide to make a film about. Awesome stuff!

@@just_alex happiness is a very personal thing, don't make your life about things people tell you will make you happy. Do what you know is right for you. Love the channel dude.
You can still do these things and involve your family. I’m 50 and looking into beekeeping and growing my own food. Go for it
wow this is my dream :)
@@just_alex is amazing I've been beekeeping 14 YEARS YOU AR GOOD ROLL MODEL FOR CHILDREN MY SON SAY TO ME EVERY I WANT TO BE LIKE ALEX THANKS
First I tought it will be boring without fishing content but this is AWESOME I'm going to ask my wife if we can have bees!
Whippppped
Don't ask, tell her you're having some. Does she ask you for permission to get a million bags and shoes? Thought not.
You can play who gets stung the most
@@the_useless_photographer wow what a horrible assumption
