Jessica, Sheri, and I are continually inspired by our expanding audience as we dedicate ourselves to these livestreams. Your support is the driving force that encourages us to deliver these engaging sessions week after week. We eagerly look forward to seeing you tonight, and every Thursday night, as you join us in this exciting journey.
New hives are hitting the market at a record pace. Is this a better hive for beekeepers and the bees? Take a look at this video below to see the entire video:
LOOK AT THIS BOOK!!
Honey Bee Health is a great book to have on hand to evaluate your bees' health. You can compare images to see if your bees have diseases or pests. We now have the books available again! They always sell out fast.

I spent years trying to make money just from selling honey. That takes so many hives and so much work. Years ago I shifted over to producing queens. It took a minute to become good at it, but it didn't take long for this to become one of the most enjoyable aspects of beekeeping for me. Dr. Zawislak and I wrote a booklet together, simplifying queen rearing. You can download it for free or purchase the hard copy: Click here to purchase the paper booklet.
Tonight I'm giving away 3 of my ONLINE BEEKEEPING COURSES just in time for spring. Here's how you could win. I'll be hosting my LIVESTREAM on YouTube at 7pm central time tonight (Thursday February 16). I'll start by teaching briefly on raising queens, and then I'll spend some time answering questions. Throughout the livestream we will draw winners for my online courses. I hope you can join me. Here is the link:
I am hoping to build a great community of beekeepers where we can encourage and support each other. Looking forward to seeing you tonight.
THE LITTLE HIVE THAT COULD
If you've been following my recent videos this week, I opened up and bravely inspected the "little hive that could" to see if there was a queen and if they are still alive. If you haven't watched my inspection and search for the queen, please watch this video because you will learn alot including how I mix my spring liquid feed! Watch below:
Did you know that you can do some simple math and give your bees a head start on raising enough foragers to take advantage of an early spring honey flow? You'll need my feeding board pictured here. Available in 8 or 10 Frame.
Our packages are "pick up only" at our bee farm in central Illinois on April 22. Why is it better to pick up bees rather than having them shipped? If bees are shipped through traditional delivery services they can be mishandled or kept in hot trucks for days. It is very common for shipped bees to arrive to a beekeeper with most of the bees dead on the bottom of the package. It's risky. Why not order your bees today and pick up your precious cargo here at our honey bee farm where we keep your bees healthy.
Our packages of bees are available now. They sell out very fast. We also have 50 (limited) Nucs available for sale and many have been sold already. If you are new to beekeeping or thinking about starting, watch my video below that has 1.5 MILLION views on YouTube:
If you order out book from us, we will autograph it for you. Sheri and I enjoyed writing this book together and it is so helpful if you are brand new to beekeeping. A must read before you get your bees. Sheri wrote half and I wrote half.
It is so popular and makes a great gift for a new beginner. Click Here

I've made a lot of videos last month about controlling varroa destructor mites, the number one nemesis of honey bees. One way you can help control mites and add additional much ventilation to your hive is with a screen bottom board. When using powdered sugar dustings along with a screen bottom board some mites will fall out of the hive. Along with other IPM approaches this can help keep mite levels low.Get your screen bottom board today

What my video explaining the five most import things you should be doing in beekeeping during the month of February:
In my recent videos I've mentioned IPM, Integrated Pest Management) as a way to help control varroa mites. One of the natural ways to do this is by breaking the queen's brood cycle after the honey flow when the colony is at its largest and mites are at the height of reproduction. This is easy to do using a queen push in cage. By caging the queen for 5-7 days, the bees' brood cycle is broken as well as the mites' brood cycle. During this break, over 14,000 mites can be disrupted from developing. Purchase a queen push in cage and be ready to tackle mites.
Having your own 5 frame nuc boxes are great for catching swarms, as a resource hive to support a larger colony, a starter or mating box to raise extra queens and more. Watch my newest video below and I'll show you how to save money and make your own:
We made it safely home from Hive Life 2023 and it was so, so, so awesome. Nice to meet so many of you in person.
