  I love Mike Palmer and I find myself rewatching these videos over and over again. Mike learned through trial and error over many, many years, and I'm thankful that he's so willing to share his knowledge with others. "Thank You", Mike.

  After watching 22 minutes of this lecture, I have decided I will watch it all the way thru and then watch it over with pen and paper to make notes. A 5 star video...I have been learning over the last 5 years beekeeping this being my 6th adding this info into my already learned info is a plus. Use what you like and build your own way yes, but listen to this lecture and you may like. <br> something or all!

  I have to think that those who gave a thumbs down, didn&apos;t take the time to view the entire lecture... &nbsp;I personally found the information collectively, to be very very helpful. &nbsp;Very much appreciated...

  Out of 12 colonies, I only used a queen excluder for building double queen colonies. &nbsp;Now, you want to have a honey gathering machine -- try a double queen stack of boxes. Incidentally, &nbsp;pull your queen excluder back for an opening for drones about 3/4&quot;, otherwise the boys will constrict the flow of workers and create a real mess. &nbsp;Also, provide upper entrances for everybody to get into and out of the boxes. &nbsp; I&apos;m too old to lift heavy boxes of honey now, but those were the days-- I&apos;ve lost track of how much honey can be gathered with a double queen set-up , but it was a lot.

  Been doing bees for 20 plus years and found new things from this lecture, as well as things I have always strived to achieve as ensuring maximum weight and eliminating moisture from the hive, in cold temperatures moisture kills bees when they can&apos;t remove it. Here in the Pacific Northwest where temperatures change quite frequently.

  anyone who starts out a lecture on beekeeping &nbsp;by talking about the history of the lake champlain area and the French and indian war is my kinda person. I don&apos;t have bees yet but I am currently in the research phase on my way to starting my first hives. very interesting.

  I live just north of Dallas, TX, USA where we have a short mild winters. I try not to prejudge speakers but give them all a chance so I listen to the first 10 minutes. &nbsp;More often than not I will listen to the end. &nbsp;Here again is a wonderful speaker, that is polished, had a good mix of great slides, and had plenty of fresh information that kept me interested to the end. &nbsp;Thank you!
