Video tutorials - learning made easy

Although our video tutorials are by no means all-inclusive of the information that you will need to succeed in Warré beekeeping, they are extremely helpful. We highly recommend that you watch all that apply to the type of hive that you are using (top bar Warré/octagonal or framed Warré). Please remember, though, that it is very important to read and study the other information that is on this site. If you are new to beekeeping, please read For New Beekeepers for a recommended course of study to get you started. Simply click on the video you'd like to watch...and enjoy!

NOTE: Clicking on any of the links below will take you to a specific video on our YouTube channel, but if afterward you simply stay on our YouTube channel, there are many videos that are not ours, intermixed with ours. Please don’t confuse others’ videos with ours. Many of them are produced by people who are not experts in Warré beekeeping and contain bad information. Remember that Chris (me; the bald guy) is in every one of our videos. The best way to access our videos, and only our videos, is by clicking the links directly from this page.
