- The honey bee is a very interesting creature. It is very adaptive to the surroundings and can captivate the interest of the human being. Many relaxing hours can be logged by just sitting under a shade tree and watching the "workers" doing what they do. There is so much to learn and no one person knows everything. Some things with bees are constant, but even the best beekeepers understand what works for one person may not work for another. I know I don't know it all and l'm always looking to learn more about these tiny creatures. I have attached some videos that I believe may be of interest to both the beginner beekeeper and those that have a few years under their bee veil. Some items I agree with and some I don't but you need to decide for yourself. Hopefully these videos will help you identify bee supplies that will meet your needs. Feel free to e-mail me any items that you feel might be good for this reference page.
Happy beekeeping!
