Bee TV with the Naked Bee Keeper

I am an amateur beekeeper who lives in Auckland New Zealand - and I am currently living in Titirangi in the very bushy western suburbs, if you know Titirangi I am just 2mins drive west of the village. Yep we are know as westies cause we are free, easy & laid-back. The Naked Bee Keeper handle refers to me choosing to not wear a bee suit unless absolutely necessary.Most of the bees I have had are just cruisey bees who are happy to let me open their homes, while I have had some super angry and territorial bees who fearlessly defend their territory I will rightly pop a suit on - I am amateur but not too stupid :-) Always this channel is just for fun, Im not expert and there is not really anyone who is a hive expert except the bees themselves. Bees run their societies with incredible precision and absolutely do not require human intervention - and I never do take credit for anything they do, even to the point of when i give honey away... its is always the bees honey, not mine :-)
