    I love your channel. When I was a lad of perhaps 10 years old, my grandpa and a couple of uncles were bee keepers who pastured their bees at farmers fields for a fee. I wanted to be a bee keeper so I slowly became the owner of 7 bee hives. The first I got from an uncle and the remainder I got from catching swarms. On one occasion a swarms landed on the corner of a neighbor's shed for rabbit hutches. I was only 13 years old and tried to get the swarm into a hive box by sliding a board under the hanging swarm to move it over the hive box; but the swarm moved from the corner of the shed to the board to my arm. I moved my arm over the hive box; shook it and the swarmed went inside. Not one sting.

      Cool story @Charlie Boring. We were going to ask @Simple Living Alaska how they did it without the bee suits. Seems like if you stay calm the bees do too.

      I've deployed to Afghanistan twice and Iraq once, and lived the summer months there... Now I live in Alaska and it is really amazing how the human body acclimates. I remember wearing a jacket and shivering in the summer months of Afghanistan when the temp would drop to 78F. Now I am outside grilling in a T shirt enjoying this spring time 40F.

      Same here lol! Isn't it funny how something so small can cause so much fear in humans? Like we put ourselves in dangerous situations all the time... but the thought of being stung by a bee or wasp leaves us in terror (although for people who are allergic, the fear is more understandable). It really does hurt when they sting, though. Then after the sting goes away, it itches like crazy.

    • @dperry19661

      Its wasps and hornets you need to be careful around. They are concentrated evil.
      But bees are kinda cool. I had some forest property I would camp on. One time I had a pound box of sugar I had left from a previous trip and had gotten wet and hard. So put it on the camp fire. The next day I had lots of pesky bees. They weren't mean or aggressive just persistent. You had to cover your sodas with a deck of cards or a cig pack. These bees didn't even mind a gentle petting

      These must be non sting bees. There is no way they can be our African Kamikaze bees!!! They are killers and you just need one to sting you and once the rest smell that sting, all hell breaks loose! They can kill a human being very fast!

      Bees are basically docile creatures, the smoke makes them even more docile. The difference between a bee and a wasp is the bee is a vegetarian and the wasp is not. The bee is not interested in human flesh.

    Guys, its unbelievable! Beekeeping during the snow. I keep bees in Scotland and never open hives until it is no less than +10C. Good luck with your bees this season and wish you to have good honey crop. It was really nice to see how gentle you are with handling the bees and brave not to wear the overalls. I never dare it. The only thing I would advise- It is better to use the ready factory made syrup. Here I buy so called " Invertbee ". Sugar with water takes a lot of energy for bees to digest and convert it for storage. It is definitely cheaper but for the bees health and in the cold climates not as good. All the best!

I have watched some videos of yours three times, especially, canning ones. I see people titling stuff things like, "Its all over," or "We are in trouble," when they are not. I am staying away from clickbait titles like that, but you don't use clickbait, just your story. I am learning something new every episode it seems. So thanks Aerial and Aaron for doing this!

Also, if you put your pollen patty face down (paper up) it will keep it moist for longer. It also discourages small hive beetles. Love your videos, thanks.

He said to keep the hives painted or decorated on the outside different from each other so the bees recognize their own hives easier & it then keeps each hive more healthy.
    Spring has finally sprung here as well. Lots of snow to melt but it's going fast. Take care!

    I hope this works out for you! The weather is so fickle up there I hate to have a bad cold snap out of nowhere. I can understand expanding the hives though. The price of honey here is ridiculous. I look forward to watching you spin them down, when you extract the honey. How are the dogs enjoying the moose veal? The pickled eggs should be ready in about another week or so. That's going to be good to see two. Life up there is going to get busy in a hurry. Looking forward to the season.

    The 2 frames of drawn comb that you pulled out when you installed your new package bees was mostly Drone cells which will cause the queen to raise Drones instead of workers. You need to make sure you replace them with worker comb or foundation for the hive to survive well..keep up the hard work. I really enjoy watching your channel. I've he bees for about 45 years. Much of it in the mountains of Colorado. Thanks Carl.

    Ariel, try using your hive tool and score the wax paper gives the bees more of a opportunity to eat the pollen patty all sides.

    The confidence on Arielle handling the bees without a bee suit is outstanding. I can't do that.

    Carmen here again. Love the bee hives, Zoe's great uncles raise bees in San Francisco. So glad the bees came through the winter. Zoe is going to love this one! See you next time, until then carry on and feel the love!

    Great video
    I'm not sure how your bees survive up there, wow they must be hardy.
    I mix up 50/50 sugar syrup in a spray bottle and spray new packages before I install them. Less flying and they have full bellies when they start drawing out comb.
    It all is a good way to capture a swarm, just spray them down real heavy and make a big funnel that will fit the package that the bees came in and just shake them in and seal it up.
    I can hardly wait for the garden, I'm very envious of the growing season you have up there.
    Thanks for great entertainment

    I'm huge fan from Israel and the highs for this week are going to be in the 100's. So jealous of your snow even though I believe you probably get sick of it

    I'm amazed that your bees survived such a harsh winter -- and I'm surprised that some bear didn't make a meal of them.
