In this YouTube video, Laurence Edwards announces the two winners of his 10,000‑subscriber competition, which offers prizes worth up to £150. He first thanks the sponsor, Simon the Beekeeper, for providing a beekeeping jacket and veils, and then expresses gratitude to the community for the overwhelmingly positive comments on the competition video. He reveals the second‑place winner, Martin Clark from Poole, UK, who receives a queen bee (choice of a UK‑mated Buckfast, an imported Buckfast, or a Yolanda queen) valued up to £50, with availability dates in April and June. He then announces the top‑prize winner, Nigel Williams from Cardiff, who receives a full Simon the Beekeeper suit plus a Yolanda or UK‑mated queen. Laurence explains the verification process: winners must email blackmountainhoney@gmail.com, receive a unique code, and post that code in the video comments to confirm identity before prizes are mailed. He concludes with a final thank‑you to all participants and points viewers to his review of the Simon the Beekeeper jacket.

In this video, I'm going to name the 2 winners in the 10,000 subscriber competition with prizes up to £150. First off, I've got a couple of thank-yous to make. First one, Simon the Beekeeper, great company in the UK. They provided the jacket with the 2 different veils as a competition prize. And then the second thank you is to every single person who commented on that video. I was blown away with the comments. I really couldn't believe it. I thought people were going to put something like, hi, I'm from here, let me enter your competition. But I just couldn't believe how nice and how kind all of the comments were and how much you feel the No Nonsense Beekeeping channel has helped you with your beekeeping. That made my day. I walked around for a week with a smile on my face. Right, let's jump straight into it then. First up, second prize. That is a worldwide prize. of any queen from any breeder up to a value of £50. It's Martin Clark from Poole in the UK. It's a UK subscriber who's won that prize, but you have won a UK-mated Buckfast queen, or you can have one of the imported Buckfast queens as well, or you can have a Yolanda queen. One of them's available in April, the other ones are available in June. Drop me an email at blackmountainhoney@gmail.com, let me know who you are, and then I'll make you put a little code up in the comments just to confirm it's you. But congratulations, Martin, you have won our second prize, which is one of our UK mated queens. And the winner of the top prize, which is a Simon the Beekeeper suit and also a Yolanta or UK mated queen, is Nigel Williams from Cardiff. Sorry not everyone got to win a prize there, there were loads and loads of entries. Everyone who's won something, drop me an email, blackmountainhoney@gmail.com. I'll send you a code, you can post that code on the video to verify that it's you, and then I'll send your prizes out in the post. But a massive thank you to everyone again for your kind comments. Here's to the next 10K subs. If you want to see what one of the prizes is, here's my review of the Simon the Beekeeper jacket.
