A quiet afternoon in the bee yard, just me, the cicadas, and a few uninvited hive beetles. I suited up and tried a few things to manage the beetles—some beetle blasters (little oil traps) and even attempted a vacuum beetle sucker, which was tricky without an extra pair of hands. Normally, my son does all this and I help, but today I gave it a go solo. There’s no talking in this video—just the natural summer sounds of very loud cicadas. If you enjoy peaceful, real-life moments in nature or are just curious about backyard beekeeping, I hope this brings a little calm to your day.

To listen with the screen fully off, in-browser playback stops by YouTube's design. Open the video in the YouTube app to keep listening where background playback is supported (e.g. with YouTube Premium).
