Cody Reeder documents a year of his beekeeping experiences in many videos extending several hours. There is a tremendous amount of information which I have not reviewed, some techniques are not particularly sustainable but I think the video series does a wonderful job detailing the activities of beekeeping. I will embed 6 of his videos but because there are so many I put the link to his video playlist below:

I watched all 54 videos in his series. I really like that he doesn't use pesticide and chemical treatments. The only non sustainable aspect of his beekeeping I see is the use of sugar, which I guess is objectionable.. The bees would more than likely be sustainable if we didn't rob the honey from questionable reserved hives such as 1st year hives, or drought year hives.
