This is a video covering all the things we wish we knew our first year.
Going through our first few years, here's all the tips we learned!
There are some that we've learned since then so check out our latest videos!

5 years later we are still using a magnet as our hive tools holders!
Our hive jackets have held up. We haven't burnt our veils.
We don't use smoke except during the dearth.

As promised here are the links to the items we talked about!
