25 Responses to Beekeeper Contest WINNER! and Candling Duck Eggs
Remove the entire video and add more to the ending blooper and you have my
reality. I spend endless time messing up words. 🙂
ps: Gotta get some footage of the ducks hatching and taking first steps
Blake. That will be pretty cool to see.
Thanks everyone! I am so surprised to win! 🙂 Thanks to Espen, Blake and
the Kirby family. When thinking of the name i thought golden son like the
one who will carry on the bee keeping to success. As it was passed down the
line from father to son. and the fact that honey is golden. so it is a dual
meaning but not about hair color. 🙂 I will sure enjoy planting in the
prizes! Thank you!
That’s a great name Espen, you must be chuffed with that 🙂 will be
interesting to see the hives get set up & progress through the season..
Thanks for the update on the plans for the bees & showing us the eggs Blake
& family..
Cheers all..

Can’t wait for the first video with the small ducks!
And of course, Congrats to the winner! great name for a promising bee
keeper!
congrats to the winner, never thought the gold referred to the lads hair
colour I just thought of the nice shine to the honey. thanks for sharing
and good luck on a great hatch rate.
ive always wanted chickens but i have always live in area where they freak
out if you have them even in you back yard and just hens. if the city or
homeowners association finds out they make you get rid of them. maybe some
day =/
If you said it already, I apologize. I was wondering where you got your
eggs from? I talked Clay into chickens! We start on the coop this weekend.
I cant decide whether or not to buy 1 day olds or hatch our own. I think
the hatching looks like a lot of fun- and the kids would love it. Ps- love
the bloopers! I tried making a video yesterday and got interrupted so many
times I scrapped it HAHA!

Congratulations to Chris! Espen I’m so excited to watch your progress on
bee keeping. Candling is fun, especially when there’s life growing inside
the egg. This is the high intensity candler I have. It’s nice for seeing
inside dark or speckled eggs. Wishing your daughter an excellent hatch.
