Last week we saw Jimmy DiResta, along with assistant Willy and shopmate David Waelder, build that modular beehive house. Waelder, who has worked with Jimmy for years and has his own well-trafficked YouTube channel, brought his own cameras (and a drone!) to shoot B-roll. So in addition to Jimmy's

DiResta's Cut: Building a Beehive House
Lets the bees in, keeps the bears and birds out
In this episode of DiResta's Cut, Jimmy goes out into the field—literally. While we're used to seeing him operate in either his NYC or upstate shops, here he's got to build a house to hold beehives for a local farmer, pre-fab style, and his yard out in the country is
