14 years with no disturbance, no treatment for mites, no sugar water, no anything! Better save that DNA.

This one really was epic! No ladders, no hot wires to cut around. So interesting to see how the bees kept that old fixer upper holding together the best they could. Glad the ants didn’t get you guys.

I love seeing how gentle you handle the bees. They stayed very calm thanks to your gentle approach.

I LOVE that they pick on Randy’s equipment so much. But DirtRooster knows that old dilapidated equipment are swarm catchers! Great video Mr. Ed!

14 years... I must admit I was expecting that hive to be really manky. Once again the Bee Team nailed it! Happy New Year to everyone.

You almost hate to mess with them. 14 Years on their own and never a year without bees, gotta be a record but they definitely need a new home.
