- In this video we visit the town of New Mills in the high peak in Derbyshire. We look at the old mills that used to be in the area. These old mills were driven by waterwheels powered by the river Goyt. New Mills and in particular the Torrs area is fantastic littered with historical clues from its Industrial past. Leats, and tailraces and old industrial archeology. We also walk along the Millenium Walkway by the river Goyt. An elevated walkway with excellent views of the Goyt Valley. Then we visit our friend who keeps bees. Pete has his own Apiary and we have a go at Beekeeping. learning about the bees and the pollen and the honey. We also manage to spot the Queen bee.

Peter and his bees - utterly fascinating, Martin. It passed my 'I did not know that' test, with flying colours. Peter is an interesting bloke, who obviously loves his bees. Bees are possibly the oldest domesticated animal of them all - and simply because humans have a sweet tooth.
Thank you for that.
Two bees or not two bees, that's the question 🤣
Brilliant video !
I LOVE BEES.... and have my bees sitting in me yard too.... Honey is King.
Wow, peter and his Bees. Learnt more about Bees watching that than I've ever learned from tv.
Pete talking about the Bees some fascinating stuff be interesting to see more from him, you learn something new every day
Genuinely one of the best films I've ever seen about bee keeping. I've seen similar pieces on telly loads of times, but they always seem to assume the viewer has the attention span of a gnat, or be too focussed on being "entertaining". Thanks to all concerned.
My thoughts too, glad you enjoyed the video.
that was amazing . people like Pete are the sa;t of the earth. he shows us all that the saying " knowlage dispels fear " is so true. once again i am in your debt thank you.
What a lovely old guy, hats off to him and his bees x
Brilliant that you’ve done a video on Bee’s, as it’s the symbol of Manchester, the Bee’s will always buzz! 🐝🐝🐝
Brilliant Martin. I love your videos and was surprised to see the bees. I've been keeping them since 2020 and yours and Pete's straightforward explanations of beekeeping are the clearest of any TH-cam videos I've seen. Better filming of the bees than many time-served beekeepers. Thank you for everything you've produced from an ex-Prestonian now living in Scotland.
Thank you Martin. This is your first B movie. HA HA HA. James had a spoon. Luxury.
thank you Peter for all the info on the Bees and Martin for the Mills great video.
Eh up Pete, glad to see thy bees on here. Lovely stuff Martin. My great granny used to keep bees - she used to talk to her bees and tell them all the news of the family as she did so. This was a grand video Martin thanks for posting.
absolutely amazing, it has its own architectural quality what an amazing place thankyou for that Martin! and the bees! wow!
Thank you for sharing your a amazing vlog being a beekeeper myself anything beekeeping I will watch till the cows come home, I’m glad your friend could give you a fantastic lesson in the lives of these amazing creatures he was very knowledgeable and answered all your great questions, well done for getting stuck in and not being afraid to handle the frames of bees.
Respect to all beekeepers. Find it hard to know what to wear around the bees. They get mad at red, but if you wear pale colours they sometimes think youre a flower and come to pollinate you. Very nice video lads, they really should show this in schools. I hope there are some teachers out there who agree.
what a fantastic video: incredible to see the remains of the New Mill (must have been something to see, back when it was still in operation, before the fire! Even now the complex seems very large, to me at least) My parents started keeping bees, after they retired: really wholesome hobby. Cheers for making & uploading these videos, Martin :)
It's called New Mills. There were several mills in that area. 👍
Great video guys, the history of bees 🐝 was a bonus. We learnt about the birds 🐦 and the bees 🐝 at school. 🙂
This is a "wow"! So much, so very well done. The bee guy is fantastic, stay in touch with him.. Thanks for posting!!
Nice upload. Interesting to watch. Tnx4sharing 🙋
My daughter-in-law just got her hives set up. She's new at this, and now I can talk about beekeeping without looking a total twat! Thanks, Martin!
I don't know about the saying 'it's grim up north' being true. All the areas you show us in your videos are just stunning. Industrial ruins and architecture and nature just seem to go so well together. You have certainly shown us some lovely locations over the years. Todays being no exception. Just stunning.
Lovely video Martin and James, I've learned so much more about bee's from this video than I ever have ! Peter has an amazing passion for his bee's and was a joy to watch.
top class vid... the Beekeeper and his lovely wife were adorable and the bees were fabulous very educative and interesting thanks guys
Thanks Martin that was fantastic, New Mills is a great old place but I love Bees and Peter is a 'Hive' of knowledge and explained loads of interesting facts. I've never understood why people are so scared of bees or even wasps and they all have their jobs to do keeping us alive. Bees keep our food growing and even Wasps help keep the pests at bay to help feed us. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Fantastic video, loved Peter and his bees. Love your videos Martin , great night time watching 🙂👍
Beautiful scenery and walk way! Very interesting and informative bee keeping lesson 🐝
Martin, teaching me stuff that I didn't know I wanted to know, and now I know. Fantastic lesson on bees, many thanks.
That walk way 👍
Brilliant video I think I want to keep bee’s
Nice video good god is that James in a frock lol - well be careful the bee s may need a swift exist
Great video boys cheers Rob
Fantastic Bee movie 🐝 🐝
"What in a lift" LOL some quick with there, ace video again, cheers Martin!
What a brilliant video. Pete is very clued up and passionate about his hobby I think he enjoyed telling you about his bees as much as you lads enjoyed learning about them absolutely brilliant.
Yeah it was a very unusual but enjoyable experience
Loved the beautiful scenery. The mill is fantastic. Enjoyed the lessons about the bees. Thanks for sharing this adventure
Excellent video very much enjoyed. Wonderful meeting a beekeeper (Pete) and his lovely lady. Thank you :)
Fabulous coverage and description Martin. Felt like I was actually there.What a feat
of practical engineering.Great to see History being preserved.
That was amazing, Pete's bees stole the show, looking forward to seeing more of those mills though.
Another fantastic video , that river goyt has some amazing gems along it .
Absolutely loved the bees too , so informative 🐝🐝🐝🐝🧱👍🏽😁
Brilliant video martin! Loved the afternoon tea 🫖, fantastic to see the bees 🍯🐝,, 🔴🟡🟢❣
Thanks Ruth, hope your well
From the stunning opening shot this video didn’t disappoint. New Mills is a fascinating and very picturesque area.
Thanks for the bees, your questions were great, not dumb, they are exactly the sort of questions that someone who doesn’t know about bees would ask. Learned a lot.
Thanks guys.
Never been round The Torrs since the 1990s Martin. Changed a lot for the better since they put the Millenium Walk there. the River Goyt looks very impressive over those weirs. The beekeeping at Chapel is really interesting. I never knew that there was so much involved with this business. Many thanks for this video, it's a pearler.
Great stuff. I used to keep bees in the 1980's, it was a fascinating pastime . I didn't know there was so much of interest around New Mills. Thanks
Fabulous video two of my favourite subjects, industrial archeology and bees. Thanks Martin for that.
That was great, new mills is a nice place I,be been a few times , but Pete with the Bees ,what a nice guy , very knowledgeable , looks like you enjoyed the visit and learned a fair bit , well done Martin and team.
Oh Martin, loved this.... you and James are my favorite adventurers, and I have enjoyed your videos for now years... Thanks mate ... have a Brew....
Cheers Frank
That was a brilliant video Martin. Pete and his Bees were fascinating. Top bloke.
Great stuff. The bee section was very enjoyable, I learned a few things too !
What a lovely laid back video you must of been buzzing making that one .....thanks Mr M.
😂 buzzin

of all time. James Rambo 😅

Fantastic video amazing place to visit and explore and bee's I never knew they has such short lives every day is a school day
Within the first few seconds I knew this was going to be another enchanting adventure with Martin and friends, and I wasn't disappointed, on the contrary, 👌😃👍 ❗
Well I never thought Bees would be so interesting but that was absolutely fascinating.
Cracking video.
Martin I could watch this video 20 times. I think I will.
Thanks Joseph, enjoy
What a wonderful, rambling expedition. Thanks.
Like James said, 'Buzzin!' - bees are so cool. I'm not scared of buzzing things, but I feel like you did well to be around all them bees, expecting them to start roaring 😂🐝
Brilliant video guys...amazing scenery...learned lots about the bees 🐝 keep up the amazing work...luv ya guys
Wow that was so awesome. I love bees even tho I’m allergic. They are pure magic to watch. Such an excellent video. Thanks for the share. Please stay safe and take care
Loved that one fellas 👍 Thanks Peter
James is the BREW MASTER 😀
Brilliant watch. I hate flying things like bees and wasps ha but loved this video. No way would I have my hands out like him 😂. What a interesting bloke he was. Nice one! 👍
Hi Martin this is one of your best which I and my wife really enjoyed. It's about having the history and upto date people from the area telling there story and showing how to live with nature. The bee keeper was such a lovely man and very informative. The type of guy you wish you lived next to and just pop around for a brew. Well done and please try and keep this format.
Smashing video, Martin. This is what Sundays are for now.
my ex wifes grandpop a lovely man used to visit a hive and would let the bees sting his hands and it helped with the severe arthritus he had..intersting video but would have liked to have seen more of the walkway and new mills mills...cheers
Fabulous video Martin, loved the beekeeping section... Looking forward to a New Mills follow up.
Very interesting, I’ve always wanted to keep bees but know nothing about them, I’m a bit wiser now.
Interesting video there Martin new mills does look nice as I seen in video interesting bout the bees from Peter glad no one got stung brill video Martin 👍
Had a ride out to bridge it's a lovely walk and loved the bee's really interesting thanks a lot
Top stuff Martin! Well done to everyone involved in this one. Crack on.
Hi Martin, that was a really interesting video, especially about the beautiful Honey Bee's, they are so important to life not only for the honey but for helping to pollinate most of the food that is grown all over the world, so without them we would not be here today and neither would the animals that rely on nuts and berries. Please guys don't use pesticides in your garden as it is literally killing off these amazing insects.
The location where you were filming the mill was such a great place, it's really good to see places like that saved even if they are in ruins as it helps educate the younger generations. Thank you for making and sharing this video, much love. xx ❤
Fascinating! There's a video on its own with Pete! What a pleasant bloke and from his answers to your questions, sounds like a real hive of knowledge (sorry - had to say it!).
Can’t find the words to say how fantastic this was. You are in a League of your own Martin with what you bring us each week. This is my number 1. I am truly educated regarding bees now. Never knew any of that info. So thank you so much. James too you were so brave. Loved you pouring the tea and your tip re the teaPot dripping.
🐝. Lovely Martin 💓. Buzzing. 🐝
Wow a fabulous video. Love old mills and weirs. Peter's bees are just amazing. cheers from Oz. xx
Great place New Mills. Glad you could get there. Thanks again.
Absolutely fascinating those bees and the queen bee
A bit late to the party, I've binged watched a large number of these interesting & informative yet humourous films, watching this one a couple of nights ago. Yesterday I had a work trip to Manchester and had lunch with a mate, who I'd not seen for a while. Whilst he lives in Manchester, his workplace is outside. He sent me the postcode, which turned out to be in New Mills. He took me to "a nice local cafe", which turned out to be in the old mill next to the Millennium walkway! 😲 After lunch we traversed the walkway and looked at the Community funded/managed Archimedes Screw, the climbing walls etc. A really lovely place and I will have to come back for a longer look. Thanks for the great film Martin! 😀 (The bees portion of the film was interesting too). 🙂
What a fantastic vlog Martin! One of my favourites of yours. Fascinating, Thankyou x
This was so good.
I'm watching this on a different large TV and the picture quality is amazing, just so you know.
New Mills looks wonderful.
And the bees. You asked all the right questions! Pete was fantastic!
Nice to see Denbyware, that is where I'm from.
Amazing as always.Here in South Florida we have European and Africanized bees so you never swat or anger them. Fascinating part of nature.
Considering how things are going for the Bees, this has been very interesting.
WOW 😱. Those old mills ruins and the millennium bridge looks amazing. I would love to have the opportunity to take some photograph there! I would take so many photos. Great video and great location.
Thank you!
That Was Fantastic . Martin, James And All . Thanks.👍
Tea with spoons!
You must have felt like royalty
Great vid Martin & what an interesting bloke Pete is. Reminded me of a guy I worked with called Les who kept bees. He used to fetch bags of propolis in which is basically the lining of hives & just a small bit rolled into a ball then swallowed cured hey fever.
Interesting all the different varieties of bees i get in my garden because i decided to plant winter flowering shrubs for the early spring bumbles and a lavender hedge for later in the year. Ashy Mining Bees are the most recently identified.
Hi Martin, I discovered your channel about a month ago and have been watching all the videos from the beginning. I loved this one as my maternal great grandparents oiginated from New Mills. Lots of my ancestors worked in the mills and one of my great great grandfather's was a foreman platelayer on the railways around the area. My 4 x great grandfather was born in Chapel-en-le-Frith in 1804. I blame you for my lack of sleep recently because I'm sat up until the early hours watching 😂.
James is the bees knees when it comes to a brew and i just reported a comment for p**nographic link, keep up the great work martin and crew
Another fascinating explore with a very interesting deviation to look at bees. If only they produced spoons!
Best video this year, Martin. Industrial heritage architecture heaven, great millennium walkway views and excellent informative film about bees. I shall be sharing this around the world, via Facebook.
Thank you glad you enjoyed and much appreciated 👍
I think this is the most fascinating video yet. The architecture is amazing.!
Got to Bee : ) one of your best video's ever Martin & company, really enjoyed that one. Thanks
Thanks Lee. I dont think your a Bastard 👍
Wow this video is fab!
Fascinated by the bees too! Nice one Martin and James 😁
Pete thank you so much for this infomation very educational.that was a lovely treat Martin. and i shall be calling down to see New Mills and exploring that Millenium walk !!
New Mills. That name rang a bell. It's the home of the great sweet manufacturer, Swizzels Matlow. Their fizzy sweets, and 'Drumstick' chewy lollies, of which I must have literally eaten tons of, as a kid, kept many a dentist in business.
Beautiful part of the country, Martin, and some top weather for you gents, too. If you're in that part of the world, have a look at the definitely eerie remains of Errwood Hall. It features in the Alan Garner novel 'The Moon Of Gomrath'.
Nice one.
My Grandma used to work at the Swizzels factory!
I live in New mills, I worked at Swizzles briefly. It always smells lovely when you walk past. It's a wonderful building in it's own right.
That's for showing the bees they are fascinating critters.
Hi Martin
Great video thanks very interesting the life of a 🍯 🐝 and the mill next time I see my sister in Stockport will visit the mill.
Cheers Dorset Andy 🐝
Superb video. I grew up I New Mills and the bee keeping in Chapel was a really interesting and enjoyable addition. Thank you.
Fascinating both the mills and the bees
That was bloody brilliant never new there was so much going on in the beehive well clever Nice one lads 🙂✌️
What a brilliant video loved the old mill remains and the walk way, looking forward to seeing more and the bee keeping was really interesting I learn't quite a bit from this video thanks for sharing.
