I've got through half of them but have to go in and eat dinner now. Man! That's a weird smoker they use! I wonder what he's smoking!  Larry |

I finally finished watching all 8 videos. The hives and frames that we use today are much easier to harvest honey from. I'm still amazed at the smokers that they used! I really enjoyed watching these videos! Larry

Those are great videos to watch. There are many things to be learned by watching those videos that can't be learned anywhere else.

I had learned in the past that when early american beekeepers used skeps that they would burn the bees and wax to remove it from the skeps. I guess all we know about history is not necessarily correct.
