Trial & Error In Beekeeping Is So Expensive
We are David and Sheri Burns from Long Lane Honey Bee Farms and Honeybeesonline.com.
Trial and error is a very costly way to start keeping bees, both in time and money. When I started beekeeping in the early 90s, I wasted so much money and time buying what I thought I needed but then didn’t know for sure how to use it, when to put it on or take it off. Your bees deserve the best from you, that is your ability to gain knowledge to care for them as they deserve.

I heard someone say that trying to learn something through trial and error is so pre-90s. Today, we live in a much better time for gaining information and making well informed decisions. When I grew up the only place I could find out anything was either our family’s encyclopedia or the library.Those books became quickly outdated. Remember those days too?
Sheri and I have such a love and passion not only for honey bees, but for beekeepers! Every day we help beekeepers all across the US. There is no reason in our day to struggle in beekeeping, not knowing what to do or how to do things right.
I worked so hard producing 6 online classes to help beekeepers gain the knowledge they need to know how to be successful. I’m excited to see so many beekeepers taking my classes and earning their certificates of completions. It’s rewarding to sit down everyday and sign more certificates. It gives me gratitude knowing that more people are ready to start beekeeping.
I just made a new bundle for the beekeeper who is just starting or has kept bees for a few years but needs a bush up.
This bundle is for 3 of my top courses:
Basic Beekeeping – Fundamentals
A Day In The Apiary – Hands On In The Bee Yard
Getting Your Bees Through The Winter – Preparing Your Bees All Year For Winter
These three courses will give you the information you need to be successful. Basic Beekeeping will ground you in the fundamentals. The Day In The Apiary will show you what to do out in the bee yard. Getting Your Bees Through The Winter will help you prepare your bees for winter. Save money when purchasing these courses as a bundle. Click here to order now.

BEETEAM6 * * *BEEKEEPING COACHING* * *
I am so excited to be able to stay in close contact with beekeepers who need help and guidance as they get into beekeeping. Let me share a secret with you. Many beekeepers want to figure things out on their own. They order something from Amazon or a farm store and they get it home, stare at it and scratch their head. They try and gain information but cannot find support. They turn to YouTube and find so many different opinions and have to watch some wacky videos because they started searching for beekeeping, but somehow got side tracked and started watching plane crashes or cleaning tile grout.
Then they call us to ask what to do. I get it. I’m sorta that way too. Some people bought flow hives or top bar hives and now they aren’t sure of management techniques. I’m here to help. I don’t really care how you got started and I don’t care what hive you started with. Let me be your coach. This program is for the person who knows nothing or the experienced beekeeper. I’m your coach. I’ll meet you at your level of knowledge and we’ll go from there.
There is no need to stumble and struggle to figure out beekeeping. Start right, start knowing what you are doing. When you become part of Beeteam6, you are given my personal cell phone and my personal email to contact me with your concerns or questions. And I’ll send you a regular video and beekeeping tip.

You are going to waste so much time and money trying to figure this thing out on your own. I’ve figured it out. Let me be your mentor. I learned the hard way, made the mistakes and now I know better. Take advantage of my experience, my mistakes, my knowledge and *certification.
*In 2010 I passed my examines and became a Certified Master Beekeeper by the Eastern Apicultural Society of North American. This master beekeeper program was started by Roger Morse a Cornell University entomology professor who brought the science of apiculture to the practice of beekeeping. This program has been under the direction of such beekeeping notiables as Dr. Clarence Collison and Dr. Dewey Caron. Click here to read about my journey.

Complete „How To” Test For Mites
Testing for varroa mites can be labor intense and is often not practiced by many new beekeepers. This leads to many colonies perishing during the winter. There are many methods available to test for mites. There is the alcohol roll, the sticky board test and the powdered sugar test. You may find that…READ MORE
Winter Bees
Smaller winter clusters consume more resources per bee than larger clusters. Bees can identify temperature differences as small as 0.45 (f). Very small clusters cannot survive temperatures 45 (f) and below. The winter cluster prefers dark comb and usually avoids new comb. Varroa mites, small hive beetles and trachea mites also survive within the warmth…READ MORE
