  You could do a series and title them "The Molly Methods" where you instruct her doing different tasks in the bee yard and film them. She is a great asset for your business.

  I'm 70 and just started keeping bees three years ago. This video was so much fun. Molly's exuberance is great as is Bob's patience. Well done. So fun.

  Some observations…..  first, i remember the early days when i was sooooo excited to work bees.  The excitement caused me to work fast.  Not being a commercial beekeeper, i don’t need to work fast.  But, i can see Molly was excited.  That’s why she pulled frames up faster than she should as a newbie.  But, at the same time, i can see her working at a commercial pace when her technique gets down.  I love that excitement!   She found a queen her first day out so that was really awesome and a good achievement!   Lastly, i would not recommend tight jeans in the bee yard.  Sometimes my wife will come out with me and have jeans like that and it never ends well lol.

  Love that excitement. Like teaching a kid how to do something and see how they love it. Hope she has bees now.

  Molly would have lasted 2 mins in some of my bosses yards with those tight leg jeans. Molly if they didn't tell you or you didn't learn yet. It's recommended not to wear tight leg jeans.... unless you're doing apitherapy, lol Hope you didn't get stung to bad.

  Great job Molly and magic that you spotted your first Queen. That never gets old. It's always a "YES" moment. Found 1 Queen, took 1 sting; I bet you will remember that Queen for a lot longer than that sting. You got some of the best beekeepers in the country willing to teach you so take full advantage of their combined knowledge. Its also wonderful to see knowledge being passed on with simple, clear, gentle instruction and advice. Bee clubs should be adding this to their must watch.

  As a new beekeeper this year, I absolutely loved this video.  It explained step by step what needs to be done.  Most other videos skip over many steps and there's no explanations on why things are being done.  I loved this!!!
