From lighting a smoker and cracking into a hive and checking on the bees, Skip gets his first real peak at a hive.... and so do you. Danny shows Skip the basics of hive manipulation and the components that make up the hive. Skip gets a hang of the lingo and learns what to do 'when the bee stings'. He also learns some beekeeping basics, and so do you.
