Beekeeping is such a courageous venture! I appreciate you sharing your journey! :D

Knowing when to say Nope is experience talking, shared for others to see and understand.

That was a really cool vi. Pretty property too. I wonder if they'd smoke that hive out from one end or leave the box sitting next to it with some sort of attractant? Beats me but would be interesting to see? Enjoyed.

I'm hoping to record the process once the team of local beekeepers figure it out.

To bad you couldn't capture this one. It would probably have replaced the one that died. Better luck next time.

that does look like a scary and huge hive buddy.

I am sure it was disappointing but love how you turned this into a good information video. Do you have any videos of you collecting swarms? I would love to see that as we consider getting into bees in the near future.
