Yes, lol! :) Where they grow vanilla: mentioned once, where the kid is from: mentioned 6 times.

Amazing video...my vanilla orchid has bloomed for the very first time and I will be attempting to pollinate it and capture it on one of my videos. I am hoping that I have better luck than the host on this video...LOL!!!

Every time he fucks up a flower that's a bean that could have eventually been sold for $10 - $20 to the end user.

Hey chris....the bee that pollinates vanilla flowers is called melipone and it's only found in Mexico therefore vanilla farmers in the rest of the world have to hand pollinate hence the high price....similar to saffron. ..they are both the most expensive spice in the world

The best visual description I've seen of hand pollination so far.

Chris, that was nice! I am from Ghana, but lived in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Makes you appreciate the work people put into the things we enjoy. You should have ask the girl if she has ever had ice cream?!

Did he mention he was from Brooklyn?

Where the guy in the video is from?

Vanilla another beautiful and delicious plant native to Mexico❤

Somebody should mention that it was the Mayans who discovered Vanilla, and it was a poor French African slave named Edmond Albius who discovered this very technique in the video on how to pollinate by hand, 300 years after Europeans 'discovered' the plant yet never figured it out. Albius died in poverty and was forgotten.

really inspiring, greetings from Cluj-Napoca, Romania

This is amazing I haven’t seen vanilla before .

You need to investigate Vanilla Production in Madascar - the farmers are not making a profit (due to synthetic production of vanilla elsewhere) :(. Very informative. Thank you.

"Is that a big deal around here, to send you kids to school?", he asks one of the women... as if there's any answer other than "Yes". Later he has the gall to ask an experienced farmer if he (the farmer) understands how time-consuming it is to hand pollinate EVERY vanilla pod. Seeing as how that's the ONLY way they get a crop yield, I already knew that it was time-consuming because I'd just watched it on this video, and the farmer DEFINITELY knew because, well, he's the farmer doing that day in day out. That leaves just one ignoramus: Brooklyn-dufus Chris.He finishes with, "So if you guys had me working on this farm, you wouldn't make any money...", they laugh politely after having watched him "try" to hand pollinate a half dozen pods with little to no care. A lot of ignorant questions asked by an ignorant interviewer... in my humble opinion. LOL, just noticed it was posted nearly a decade ago - teaches me to better check the dates

thank you Edmond Albius, another story of an African person heavily impacting the world! He created the vanilla hand pollination method :)

This video can echo...for every foreign food exported! Thank you!

Amazing and time consuming of polinating every single Vanilla flowers. Surely there are some tiny bees that can do it. Well we have our native bees in the Solomon Islands that does polinate alot of our plants and they are growing Vanilla plants as well and its growing very well too.

Thanks for sharing and happy growing.

Love it!

ok so what are the numbers? how much money does BJ give for vanilla

This is amazing, can't believe what goes into making vanilla ice cream.

His face when you picked up that flower

Je vous remercie pour vos vidéos. J'ai un seul pied de vanille et j'ai pu fécondé mes premières fleurs après sept ans

The flowers are essentially being self-pollinated. I wonder what kind of implications it has in genetic diversity.

Lucky for me I am in Mexico 😀 hello easy money !!

2:37 That guide thought "this guy is dumb" and low key showed it

I sure hope these people were additionally compensated for their time and appearance in the video, as well as the loss taken from the destroyed flowers

Is there a discussion of what each bean costs? I'm thinking several dollars for each bean pod, on our end. I'm also thinking the entire pod is edible.

Maybe they could directly encourage those bees. Bring them in, with little bee houses, and maybe plant other plants they like, intermittent with the vanilla?

Thanks I see how to pollinate the vanilla

I did a quick search and found the Mobuku Vanilla Farmers’ Association in the mountainous west of Uganda (short article on the FairTrade Web site). It's so labour intensive I wonder how much they end up getting paid. Steady income though.

I was there in June last year. I will never use anything but Ndali. It's utterly delicious, wonderfully dark, rich and smokey, with caramel tones. Brilliant film. You caught so much of it. If you check out goddess on a budget blog you can find details about my trip and recordings for BBC Radio 4 food programme.

The vanilla is 100% Mexican is a gift that my country gave to the world stop saying that is from other parts of the world,vanilla chocolate ,tomatoes,avocado among other gifts from nature.

Where’s he from again? he didn’t mention it enough

Ben and Jerry rocks

Nice bro. 👍

I see the broken 💔 over those lost beans

2:02 he's like "shut up already white man😑"

0:18 Is she wearing a Furious George shirt? As in the ultimate team?

Whats the specie of bee that does the polination

enjoy

👍

os colhedores ganham uma miséria enquanto os requintados restaurantes, lucram com a baunilha.

You mean you're teaching people that the world is vastly unfair and that food actually comes from plants????

No, now this is where vibranium hidden.

edmond albius created the process

Okay thumbnail 😏☺

ommm

you killed six plants you better pay!

salam kenal

I came to learn! but I did not...

Hello boss could you send vanilla to me, i need plant it, i in laos

Only 10 million more flowers to go.

Ben and Jerry's use synthetic vanilla ...

🤣🤣🤣🤣♥️♥️

Vanilla originates from Mexico not Africa

Fair pay? wtf? Thats nothing like Modern-American Agriculture. Makes me feel good to see a company doing the right thing for once.

"fair trade" so funny! ha ha ha!

I wonder if they ever tasted Vanilla Icecream.

Ben and Jerry's vanilla tastes like nothing.

empty your mind dude!!!

Hah I’m going to be that guy who thinks this host is horrible. He literally asked the people who do it every single day if they know how time consuming it is! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Do you know da wey?

Did you really ask is it a big deal to send your children to school ? What type of question is that?

American propaganda, fair price???? Madagascar is strugglong their vanilas are controled by french nd the farmers are paid 1 euro per day!

Is that a big deal to send your kids to school? Umm, duhhh.
