Perhaps motivated by a drive to prop up the bee populations decimated by colony collapse disorder, beekeeping has become popular in cities worldwide. We visit one San Francisco beekeeper who keeps her hive in a Bernal Heights backyard where she escapes once a week to check on her colony. For Alexandra Danieli, beekeeping is part meditation and part fascination with a magical world of GPS, honing pheromones and group intelligence.

Hello Melanie here, thanks for checking out my web page. I have been reviewing products online for some time. I pride myself in providing visitors and readers with completely unbiased and honest reviews. I also bring a depth of experience as a relatively new beekeeper myself to the review.
I am proud to say that I became a beekeeper in September 2010. I went on training courses and read many books so I have a real idea of what is needed for beekeeping for beginners and will give you an insightful and honest review.
There is a little bit more information on the 'about me' page.
NICE NICE NICE VIDEO!
thank you very helpful !
It’s nice to see that sometimes the best teachers are the ones that are still learning!
Thank you kirstendirksen for the reply. I appreciate it.
@greatmasterboy I just shot the video, but I asked “the bee lady”, Alex, and she said : “The bees were ordered through the San Francisco beekeeping society. They help beginners and also advanced beekeepers with resources, meetings, rental equipment and ordering bees. I guess they want to make sure that people know what they’re doing since there is quite a lot to it. Most cities or counties seem to have a bee club or a bee association to help with all that.”
This was a simple yet informative video especially for those who don’t know anything about beekeeping like me. The bee lady seemed very nice too. I suddenly became interested in keeping a beehive.Where did you order your bee package ?
This is a very interesting video you have done a good job with the bees
Very nice hobby.
You have a very good colonies of bees here. (maybe they are Buckfast , considering the very fast development of the colony).
You are right about the urban bees in comparison with the country bees. I have 3 beehives in the city of Amsterdam and 2 others in the countryside of Amsterdam. Definitively those in the city go much better than those in the countryside.
I like your video and the accent in your English.
Friendly

Awesome work both the bee keeper lady and you for filming her.
this lady was very interesting to listen to and it sounds like she has done her homework very well…. which is quite rare for someone on youtube…. ha ha.
Great job Kirsten!!
I uploaded a video of bee eating flower nectar that looks exactly like these bees. But, I’m in Florida. I loved this video. Twelve minutes flew by fast.
Another interesting video. We can’t get over how casual and professional your videos are. Her funny “…you don’t want to piss your neighbors off.” probably would have been edited out by most. For some reason it doesn’t seem vulgar here. We feel as if we were really there with you looking at the bees. We’re looking forward to more videos.
