Here is the Package install Video - edited and looking pretty good. I'm definitely getting better at editing, so I think you'll like this one:

Fantastic video - I've never seen a package installed and you did it with such calm collectedness.  Great job!

I showed it to my bees. They were laughing and calling your bees pansies  :-D

I have this one problem when a bee, or any bug, gets on my arm. I have an uncontrolled flinch. And of course the girls don't like it and pop me. And any time I bang something, even to just knock them loose as you did, they get mad.

It's intersting Jerry.... I'm a guy who can't take sweat dripping down my face or anywhere - it drives me nuts. But I'm very comfy with bees, especially if I know they are there, I hate surprises.

I hated to wear the glove, but I needed to keep honey and wax out of my camera, and between sceens I would remove them. As soon as I got to the last segments, then it was non-stop shooting, so I finally dumped the gloves and felt at home bare-handed.

I'm proud of the way it came out, with no post-narration and doing all my own camera work, not to forget I took 30 minutes of footage and cropped it to under 10 minutes for Youtube. The editing was only slowed down by my need to talk so much - I hate clipping a sentence, etc., so I had to wait for me to shut up before moving to the next scene - lol. I could capture the audio into mp3 that might be interesting too :)

Glad everyone so far is enjoying it and YES this will be the first of a series - next week I get another package, but I have first inspection coming  on this hive in a few days.
