I am just supporting a good habit. I have to thank you for for everything you do. It is because of you, I know everything I know about Bees and other things too. The information you give is most valuable, keyword valuable. Great episode ❤ I know more now then I did bee4 I watched it ❤
Wouldn’t it be great if somebody went around the room and videoed all the vendors and asked them questions and brought their products to life? Wait… Leave it to Fred Dunn to make it happen. :-) It was great to meet you and your lovely wife!
For those of us who could not be at the conference, your video Fred, allowed us to learn more about the innovations in the bee keeping industry. Another wonderful video.
Shamed into attending, I did come away with new information following your presentation, although having missed the propolis session. Enjoyed meeting you and thank you for these vendor interviews.
Quite impressed with EZ PZ guy. Seemed very honest and down to earth whose main motivation was to make things better for himself first then sharing it. I’m super lucky that I keep bees mostly because I think they are cool, honey is a nice benefit. I suspect there are a lot of backyard beekeepers like me who aren’t driven by honey production so can observe and enjoy our hives with bit less pressure.
Great in depth interviews. What an amazing conference. Well worth the trip from Oregon. It was great talking with you again Fred and meeting your better half!
Great video Fred. We loved watching all of the interviews, especially ones of some of the booths we missed. We were beyond excited to be the owners of that beautiful black locust horizontal hive from Ricky and Ruth at Horizontal Bees! They do amazing work and are wonderful people!
Paused again at the 2:25 time frame, thanks for showing the Swarm Commander Blythwoods bees booth! That interview alone made my day, I'm going to give it a try. I'll let you know how it goes.
I really like how you did this video this year and last year so a person like me (5 hives or under) can see products and not able to go there. Able to see what we could use on our hives to make it better and get ideas and learn. Always like your videos and watched about 90% of them. I also like the quality of your videos and not bouncing around when you move. You always give me good ideas. Keep up the great work. I hope someday to go to the event. Mike from MN.
Hi Mike, thank you so much, I really did try to get to as many vendors as I could and didn't locate some of the others I was very interested in. Oh well, next year :)
Thanks so much for putting this together and doing these interviews! For those of us that couldn't make it, it's almost like being there. I can feel the energy! Great work!
Thanks for giving those of us who couldn't make it this year a sense of what it was like. This is the first of Kamon's conferences i have missed but for a brief spell you made it real to us. I agree with the young lady early who said your photography is fantastic.
Thank you for a very informative video. I hope to be at the next one next year. It didn't work out this year. I did hear that you will do the same type of video this year. I'm looking forward to seeing the new one. Enjoy the show.
Hi Elaine, absolutely, I'll be making a featurette about the NAHBE this coming January. :) It's exciting for me to have a chance to ask questions directly to those innovators!
Dear Fred, Like everyone else who didn’t get to go I like everyone who watched very much appreciate all the time you put into this utube video of the NAHB Expo!!! I think I went over the saved video of last years video of the hive alive vendors 5 or 6 times garnishing all the information you collected from them and then looked up their websites and order catalogs and etc….. This not only helps us but the vendors also and like everyone else I enjoy the questions and information you gather from each vendor! And its just enjoyable seeing how much the vendors appreciate you!!!! I can’t tell if it’s personal editing like starting the camera when your in front of the booth or editing later? Kinda reminds me of that photographer when editing my work at workshops “Get closer and make me feel something” quit trying to get it all and shooting in no man’s land and not saying anything, but making me dizzy. I thank you for the skills you have and sharing them with us!!!! Hope your voice recovers because it looked like the vendors tripled from last year!!!! Was supposed to be there this year but like another expressed it started getting a little bit too expensive. Maybe next year!
I had to tell you that I appreciate the great work you’ve done for the newer beekeepers, your videos are very informative. Please continue with further content my friend Thanks again and God bless you
I almost fell over. That airplane that flew over and got your attention is J model C-130 cargo plane. My daughter is a load master on these planes, and I assume it's from the Louisville Air Guard. I spent 25 years working on C-130s myself. You totally rock. Ok now for the bee part. I am astounded by your conference video. It took me 3 days to watch it all. I am not a beekeeper, but I support a beekeeper who has bees next door. I grow herbs, wildflowers and this year we will start an intentional continuous meadow for the lovely bees. Wow...just wow.
Thanks for taking me to the conference since I couldn't go! Very glad I got to meet you and sit down to eat when you came to WV last year ! Personally I never buy smoker fuel. The idea is to mimic a fire which bees react to. There are soma many free items in the woods and fields to use that produce natural smoke. If I am using some kind of wood chips because I am going to be working hives longer, I put a little green grass on top to ensure nothing hot comes out.
Some areas have zero fire permitted. We're fortunate not to have those restrictions, but even lit smokers are not allowed. That's something people like us don't face :)
I always enjoy your expo videos. I seen things on your video I didn't see in person there. I was good to shake your hand a talk a bit at the expo. I can hardly wait for next year.
The best video on the expo. Watching it was almost like being there, very clear video and that was on a laptop. had to watch for a 2nd time to make sure i did not miss anything.
Been working on something similar to the comb assistant where the comb doesn't need to be cut out of the frame and no cassette is needed. Still a work in progress but a fun experiment.
WOW. I never realized that Swarm Commander was made by Blythewood Bee Company. They sold me my first nuc 7 years ago. I purchased from them because they were in the town where many of my family members live. Picking up my first colony there was one of the most fun experiences ever. He took me for a tour through the rows and rows of nucs, and showed me all about his business. So happy to hear about his success in the small town of Blythewood, SC. Prayers for healing, sir. God bless!
I'm so glad you learned something new! Yes, he's a fantstic guy and has an interesting background. I also like supporting him becuase he's a disabled vet. Swarm Commander is more than most people think, so it was great to share that story :)
I really enjoyed this video too. It is fun to see the unique products & why they were invented. And it certainly is hard to not go to every website to buy the fun new discoveries.
Thank you, talking for three days straight definitely gives you a rustic voice in the end. I was so happy that my presentation was during the first full day of the conference :)
@@FrederickDunn thanks for showing so many innovations,especially for those who couldnt make it,i still look forward to meeting you in person,nice to see nuc slatted rack,OA OPTIONS, fondants,and more,...did you see the easy see veil window?-always looking for more content.
Thank you so much Fred for your tour of the expo. We here in Australia don’t get anything even close to this great show of bee keeping equipment. You covered it so well. Like being there. Thanks again Fred. David. Brisbane Australia.
Great video. I have not attended an expo like this, but your video gave a great overview of what to expect. Thanks for your video and the time you invest to make us smarter beekeepers.
Fred, thank you so much for doing all these interviews. I learned about many( new to me) products. I couldn't make the conference, so I appreciate the time you took to do these interviews! I also enjoy watching your TH-cam channel!!
Such an informative video I really enjoyed the in-depth questionnaires you had for all candidates, although as a horticulturist I was quite disappointed with the lack of native planting knowledge “the bee and butterfly habitat fund” booth had…but the concept is very important!! Fav part is how you asked the appropriate questions and they had difficulty answering them all
Fred this was wonderful thanks for taking and showing a lot of the new products out there for bee keeping. I wish u had done every booth. Glad u went and had a good time. God Bless and have a great week.
You went to town Fred, this one is gona take a bit to watch.👍Thanks much and have a safe trip home. Great price on that resource hive at that Bearsville Bees, it would have cost me so much to have come home from there. That's crazy cool that they change the orientation of the cell. That introduction cage/frame is real interesting thanks Fred, you spot the coolest new stuff.😁That's a nice price I think I'll order me a few of those, they would be real nice for introducing expensive queens.
Enjoyed your walk through and interviews of the event. Very informative. Your videography is to the max. You might consider videography as a profession. ☺
Nicely done Fred. A lot of very interesting new products. Isn't it fun to learn new things. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I like to take a 4 1/2" grinder with a wire wheel and ruff up the inside the box. It's easier to do before assembly but depending on how hard you push you can get some nice groves . The bees definitely put propolis in them. Thanks Mark
That’s was a interesting watch start to finish , great products and great interviews ,I enjoyed it , I hope the voice recovers for Fridays Q&A have a great week take care
I missed all the presentations so thanks for the segment with Phoebe Snyder. I would be interested in trying this out along with our Hydrogen freeze brood hygienic testing. Pleasure meeting you and your wife Sir
Yes, it was fun to cross paths several times and it looked like you were getting lots of good content. I'm looking forward to watching the presentation videos when they come out :)
This was a fantastic video. We never get new products here in the UK. Everyone is so fixated on the National hives. I go to the states once a year, so now I know of new things to bring back with me! Thank you!
Such an informative video I really enjoyed the in-depth questionnaires you had for all the , although as a horticulturist I was quite disappointed with the lack of native planting knowledge “the bee and butterfly habitat fund” booth had…felt like they barely knew what they were talking about lol😂 but the concept is very important!!

Teşekkürler. Emeğiniz sayesinde güzel dialoglar ve güzel fikirlere şahit olduk. Arıcılık ülkenizde iyi bir yerde. Bir gün gelip ziyaret etmek istiyoruz, Amerika'daki arıcılara ve size selamlar...
Great job. Was looking forward to saying hi in person at NAHBE, unfortunately I herniated my Lumbar 3-4 disc 5 days prior so we had to last second cancel. Fortunately great videos by you & others lessened my disappointment. See ya next year or sooner. Who knows…We are in Bourbonnais, IL, about to be 2nd year BK’s, 2 hives..
Oh, I'm so sorry that you had to miss it. I really hope you find a good way to rehab your lower back and strengthen that area, not fun at all. Thanks for sharing.
I agree, so much to cover and that was the blessing and the curse. No one could say there wasn't much to see, I am home and disappointed that I didn't get to see some of the vendors I had planned to. :)
Loved seeing you at the Expo. Great presentation - fun, entertaining, and informative. I didn't get to say hi, but hoping to do so next year. Cheers! - Jeff
Anything that encourages propolis inside the hive that can create a complete envelope will definitely benefit your bees. I'm glad you found that interesting. A lot of research has gone into that.
@@FrederickDunn oh we didn't miss the expo, just realized we missed some of the booths 🤣🤣 maybe we shouldn't have caught the early flight out on Saturday after all
I appreciate the videos, very well done, I will be looking into that smokeless smoker for those times of extreme dryness or the in and out yard work! Ah! I heard my name! Cool. I'm interested to hear that Apis Biologix is in UltraBee, I will have to try it out.
HI Ian! It's so nice of you to stop and leave a message. That smoker will permit people work during black-flag fire zones without the risks. I'll also be testing that out this spring. I wish you all the best up in the great white north!
Thanks! Thank you for your service in spreading knowledge. You make learning fundamental ( FUN= memory)
You, are way waaay waaaaaay too generous, Martha! I will pay you back with another dinner out :)

I am amazed that I watched this entire video but it was a fantastic tour. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm glad to know that it held your attention :)
I need to visit the next expo! great, great info and innovators!
I’ve never thought I’d watch a whole 2+hr video about a bee convention. It was fascinating - thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fred asking the vendors ALL the right questions!
Thank you so much, I do love learning from them :)
Thanks! This was great and really enjoyed watching from my Kitchen with coffee in hand 🙂
You are very welcome, and thank you very much for your generosity :)

Thanks for the great video and interviews Fred!
Hi Laurel! You just made my day :) We all appreciate you so much! You're welcome.
I love it, I love it I love it. Thank you so much.

That is my category of interest too. I'm an herbalist and need to know which plants will support both bees and me.
That’s Awesome Fred Thanks!
Great videos on all the new stuff. Good work as usual
Thank you
Mr. Dunn, thank you for the great video. So great getting to see some in depth information about the neat things at the Expo.
Fred this was wonderful thanks for taking and showing a lot of the new products out there for bee keeping. I wish u had done every booth. Glad u went and had a good time. God Bless and have a great week.
I definitely ran out of time there :)
Well I should know better than to question the great one! You did get around to a lot of vendors! Great job!
You went to town Fred, this one is gona take a bit to watch.👍Thanks much and have a safe trip home.
Great price on that resource hive at that Bearsville Bees, it would have cost me so much to have come home from there.
That's crazy cool that they change the orientation of the cell.
That introduction cage/frame is real interesting thanks Fred, you spot the coolest new stuff.😁That's a nice price I think I'll order me a few of those, they would be real nice for introducing expensive queens.
Thank you, we arrived home to a snow-covered landscape :)
@@FrederickDunn Makes for pretty pictures. Thanks again for the video.

Your videography is to the max. You might consider videography as a profession. ☺
Thank you so much, Red Diver! :) much appreciated!
I've used swarm lure and it is absolutely incredible people are just amazed to watch the bees just March right into their little box.
Thanks for that nice feedback. So, you're referring to Swarm Commander? :)
@@FrederickDunn I can't say it's was comander but we use lure. I changed the comment to reflect that sorry.
Nicely done Fred. A lot of very interesting new products. Isn't it fun to learn new things. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
I like to take a 4 1/2" grinder with a wire wheel and ruff up the inside the box. It's easier to do before assembly but depending on how hard you push you can get some nice groves . The bees definitely put propolis in them.
Thanks Mark
Anything that encourages propolis is going to help them for sure. Thanks for sharing :)
Very good information and dealers to see there you. May and I give you a 1000 point star.😊:)
Wow, thanks Fred.

So happy to give you a little sense of it. :)
Bravo👍😀
Ty you so much. I hope one day i can go to one of these and meet you. Alot of people started bees because of you.
That’s was a interesting watch start to finish , great products and great interviews ,I enjoyed it , I hope the voice recovers for Fridays Q&A have a great week take care
Hi Darren, you can hear my voice deteriorate as the video continued... but I needed to talk with so many people and vendors :)
I missed all the presentations so thanks for the segment with Phoebe Snyder. I would be interested in trying this out along with our Hydrogen freeze brood hygienic testing. Pleasure meeting you and your wife Sir
Yes, it was fun to cross paths several times and it looked like you were getting lots of good content. I'm looking forward to watching the presentation videos when they come out :)
Great content, Fred! Almost makes me feel like I was there. If they continue in 2025 I'll be in attendance!
I think it's a pretty good guess that they will be doing it again in 2025. :) I'll be there for sure even if I'm not a presenter :)
This was a fantastic video. We never get new products here in the UK. Everyone is so fixated on the National hives. I go to the states once a year, so now I know of new things to bring back with me!
Thank you!
I am always fascinated by new equipment and hive arrangements. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. :)
Thanks Fred !!!
you're very welcome, Red!
We missed you Fred. Hope you had a good show
I bought & just received 2 each of the nuc & 10 frame ceracell feeders. Thx FD.

what a great show, I need to attend this one year. Going the the conference in Madrid in June that should be good.
I'll definitely be going back for the next one.
Loved seeing you at the Expo. Great presentation - fun, entertaining, and informative. I didn't get to say hi, but hoping to do so next year. Cheers! - Jeff
I'm so glad you liked the presentation! Thank you.
The propola hive video oh my gosh then bees are disinfecting their environment, is what they're doing this is just an incredible unit I want one.
Anything that encourages propolis inside the hive that can create a complete envelope will definitely benefit your bees. I'm glad you found that interesting. A lot of research has gone into that.
Awesome video Fred. The only sad part is it serves as a reminder of what we missed. Alas, we'll just have to order on their websites. 😊
I'm sorry you missed it, but at least you have a sense of what it may be like next year :)
@@FrederickDunn oh we didn't miss the expo, just realized we missed some of the booths 🤣🤣 maybe we shouldn't have caught the early flight out on Saturday after all
Nice job Fred, well done.
Thank you! :)
I appreciate the videos, very well done, I will be looking into that smokeless smoker for those times of extreme dryness or the in and out yard work!
Ah! I heard my name! Cool. I'm interested to hear that Apis Biologix is in UltraBee, I will have to try it out.
HI Ian! It's so nice of you to stop and leave a message. That smoker will permit people work during black-flag fire zones without the risks. I'll also be testing that out this spring. I wish you all the best up in the great white north!
Great tour. I immediately went to Midnight Bee Supply to order 5-frame slatted racks!
I was so impressed that they have those!
Great video Fred!
Thank you so much :)
