Customer Reviews

waste of money
This DVD should be given out free with orders. It is NOT worth your time or money. Do some searching, ask some bee people and get a book or a different tape. Very short dvd.

Excited to have footage of beekeeping
I was really excited to be able to actually SEE the beekeeping process after reading so much about it. The video really helps to see the process of some of the techniques I have read about in books and Internet research. It gives me more comfort to get started with a new hive and swarm of bees! Looking forward to other videos they put out to further my knowledge of beekeeping.

Waste of Money
This video lasts about 9 minutes...definitely NOT worth the price. Save your money and buy a book. I realize that this is an introductory video, but there is an incredible amount of information that is lacking. My favorite line in the video is "check our website during the summer months"...I assume so you will buy more of their overpriced items. The only good thing is that there is a 100% satisfaction guarantee...I will definitely be sending this video back.
