April Splits | Splitting my hives before they swarm. Sorry for the editing error at the end.
About this video:
In this video we will be splitting beehives before we get to deep into swarm season. This year I want to keep as many of my bees as possible bringing in nectar and proactively prevent swarming. The best way to do that is to split the beehives before they have the opportunity to split themselves. At least that way I can control how many bees I remove from each hive. Unfortunately, we run into problems along the way and face unexpected challenges.
About this Channel:
I hope you enjoy this video. If you are interested in becoming a beekeeper or experience backyard beekeeping for yourself have a look at some of the videos on this channel as well as videos from creators I have listed below. This is my third season as a beekeeper and everything I have learned came from YouTube and mostly from the channels listed below.
Although this channel is primarily about beekeeping I am also a quasi pepper who believes in becoming self-sufficient. With that in mind, I have started a garden, planted fruit trees, replaced the hedges in front of my house with blueberry bushes, and have recently built a chicken coop. In short, I will share a lot more than bees with this channel.
A little about me:
I am a person who believes you are never to old to learn something. Be it beekeeping, farming, raising chickens, painting, filming and editing video, making wine, beer, bread, cheese, and other fermentation consumables, play guitar etc... If I see something I want to try I start it immediately. If there is one thing I could choose to pass along to my children this would be it. Never be afraid to try. My wife famously told me once that if you are not willing to be bad at something, you will never be good at it. That means I am bad at quite a few things.
A little about you:
Please reach out in the comments and tell me what you're up too and how I could do things better. You may have experience doing what it is I am attempting to do and you knowledge and experience could be very helpful to me. Remember, I try all sorts of thing but I am not always successful. ...but I still try. :-)
I hope you find my videos fun and entertaining as well as get something out of them. I hope I inspire someone to get out and try something new. If you do enjoy my videos, please take a moment to spread the word about this channel and help it, and myself grow. Have a great day and BEE Happy!
Here are a couple of the people who I follow and consider virtual mentors. These channels will help you in your beekeeping journey and show you many ways to make your beekeeping adventure an exciting one.

A bit about my channel:
This channel is primarily about beekeeping or more specifically beekeeping 101 because I am just a beginning beekeeper and I figured the best way to learn to be a beekeeper was to buy a flow hive, sometimes spelled flowhive or a flow hive 2 which is sometimes known as a flowhive 2 and begin building by backyard apiary so I would have a place to keep bees. Now, backyard beekeeping is not the only thing I do. I consider myself to be urban farming as I also try to grow a sustainable and edible landscape. Backyard farming for me also includes keeping chicken and building other things in my shop that will help all of the birds, bees, insects, and other natural pollinators. I learn how to feed bees and chickens while showing you my day-to-day activities in my apiary, sometimes known as a bee yard. Some people consider me a prepper and yes there is a little truth to that. I do consider this a form of prepping and becoming self sufficient. Thank you for spending time with me learning about tap hives, flow hives, honeybees, and chickens.
