@frazzledfozzle ive often thought a dash cam would be interesting. I’d get to see where I’m going to get to some of our yards. There were a few (that we’ve mothballed) that I’ve not kept my eyes open through the full trip!
What I like about @Alastair video is knowing he’s from Auckland but not actually having been to Auckland apart from the airport and conference moons ago I was amazed at the scenery particularly the big cliffs on the right hand side and the pig hunter and dogs in the middle of the road.
Gives me a different perspective of what his area is like.

Another way of looking around is Google Earth/Street View....travel the developed world as well as NZ .....

I have a video of an ostrich that I legit thought I was going to have to fight somewhere on my beekeeping Facebook page, and a few time lapses I made at harvest but I don’t know how to upload them, I’ll try figure it out
You can add videos from service providers listed in the image, directly to the video media gallery
LOL I can see the title - ENRAGED OSTRICH vs DALEY THE GIZZY GIRL BEEKEEPER. - WHO WOULD WIN
😂
😂
I used to help my mate work has bees in an apiary with an ostrich. We always had a broom for protection and didn't use a smoker until the ostrich had been stung enough that he gave up. Those things are dangerous. One broke my friends mums ribs kicking her through a deer fence. There is still the odd large egg kicking around the farm but the ostriches are gone thank goodness.
Mainly around the fringes of Auck, they are on Lifestyle Blocks as a sad solitary remnant of a redundant 'must have list'.
I was in the truck fortunately but it started doing it’s little dance and I did wonder if it was going to get me in the window.
There are about 4 of them on this farm I’m on and it’s happy days everytime I see them because at least then I know where they are 😂
I wouldn’t want to end up in a fight with one because I don’t think running away would be an option, I just try to avoid them.
I can imagine they could really do some damage.
Nice videos Alistair.
I kinda liked the one of Hooks Nuc yard ..... thoroughly enjoyed the gate opening sections with the European beauty and was getting really excited when I saw all the Nucs, ..... but then it ended.
What happened next ?

Next? We worked.
It was a nice little nuc yard, we had made up 100 3 framers which gradually got boosted into full hives. By adding package bees whenever there were some spare.
No video of that though, nearly all videos I got is while driving unless someone else made them and shared them with me.
I do actually have some such videos and as interesting as they are they include peoples private conversations etc I don't feel at liberty to post them.
