🐝 5 Things to Avoid as a Beginner Beekeeper | Lessons Learned in the Hive

Hey there, and welcome (or welcome back!) to the channel! In today’s video, I’m diving into five things I really wish someone had told me when I first started keeping bees. These are all lessons I’ve learned through experience—and a few the hard way. If you're just starting your beekeeping journey or even if you've been at it a while, this video could save you some serious stress (and maybe even a hive or two). It's all about working smarter, not harder, and understanding what our bees truly need from us. This community is growing so fast, and I’m thrilled to hit our 1,000-subscriber milestone—thank you all so much for being a part of this! I started this channel because I missed teaching after 30 years in higher ed, and I’ve loved connecting with fellow beekeepers like you. 🛠️ Helpful Resources Mentioned: • Hefting Your Hive Video: https://youtu.be/Zl9P2HAcoGA • Varroa Mite Treatment Insights: https://scientificbeekeeping.com 💬 Let me know in the comments—what’s a mistake you learned from in your bee yard?
