Hey everyone,
I'm excited to share with you the latest episode of our podcast featuring Mike Palmer. In this second episode of the series (Yes! there is a third one coming), we dive deep into the state of commercial migratory beekeeping and its impact on bee health. We also discuss the importance of breeding for local environments and the ability to winter in preserving bee colony health, as well as sustaining the beekeeping industry. Furthermore, we touch on the negative effects of commercialization on the beekeeping industry and the need for balance between science and practical beekeeping.
This conversation highlights the challenges faced by beekeepers, including the high cost of wooden ware, and emphasizes the importance of sustainable and local beekeeping practices. Mike also talks about pesticide issues.
It's a fascinating discussion with valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities in the beekeeping industry. Check it out and let us know what you think!

I'm so glad you made it all the way up to nw Vermont :) I really enjoy listening to Michael and his view on modern beekeeping. It's very interesting that you're addressing the issues with migratory pollination practices and the spread of disease as well as concentrating on the cross-contamination potential. I like what he mentions regarding how winter can serve to distill the strongest genetics from those that are less hearty. All of my family farms (my relatives) are no longer farming, things have definitely changed and the landscape is now forever altered. The clover sustained the soil quality for all the grasses as well. So many great topics. Thank you for sharing! I really enjoyed this while I was doing some editing.

"And so I opened it" Been there! lol I wanna be like Mike, too. Conventional farming is surely a problem and for more than just our bees. We would have a much better food supply if more people went to Regenerative Farming. Wouldn't it be nice if food didn't kill us. I farm full time, I run a cow/calf herd that is only grass-fed. I do something called rotational grazing where I break down pasture into small plots for the cows and move them daily to one of the new plots. This creates lush pastures loaded with forage for pollinators and grazers. Once a person does this for a period of time they will start to see the microbes in the soil come to life and amazing things happen. We are 100% organic. There is more and more people turning to this style of farming but the movement isn't fast enough sadly. Too many people want to tote feed here and tote manure there, it makes not sense. Livestock has legs for a reason. I strongly encourage anyone who want to learn how to heal the land with livestock to research Greg Judy or Joel Salatin. Another great video! Can't wait to see part 3.

Hi. I'm an example of what your teaching is worth. I'm a hobby beekeeper and I started by doing bee removals. I'm sustainable thanks to Michael Palmer. Thanks

Interesting discussion and although I am a backyard beekeeper myself here in Queensland Australia I can relate to your views. I have started sowing white clover seed on my small acreage recently. My neighbour is also of a similar view regarding the use of chemicals on his property and the bees forage happily. It’s mid Winter here now with temperatures averaging from single figures to the mid 20 degrees C. I have also started a brood factory here in my apiary. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise Mike. Cheers Mate 👍🐝

as always mike is right, right and right again. i bee keep small scale 20 -30 hives stationary in romania and over 10 years i had the same experience. loss of habitat and chemicals all over. i do not treat for varroa and after 10 years of natural selection (i raise my own queens) finally see some natural resistance. i managed to go from 20 to 80 per cent overwintering survival. thanks mike for great education work.

Great topics for sure. I agree that you are touching on more of the issues with bees. Chemicals are whats causing more of the disease vs anything else. This should be the upmost top issue we all talk about. Migration processes and chemical usage.

I'm a 3rd year beginner beekeeper, but a lifelong environmentalist. I have had similar thoughts about the transportation of bees as it relates to spread of pests and disease. I have strong thoughts about the proliferation of energy and resource intensive agriculture and how it affects local ecosystems. My hope is that the trend can be changed.

Massachusetts is $100 per hive for Apple pollination and that is ONLY for 2 -3 weeks. I was lucky that where mine are I charge nothing, he charges nothing and it wins for both the Bees, Farm and both of us. He still had pollinators come this year but I am hoping that he won't have to next year ;)

Im speaking for impressionable new australian bee keepers . Our high production golden Italian's would die in many areas if we didn't chase the honey flows. I feel iritated when I hear criticism of moving bees, as if I could keep 140 hives in one spot all the year round
@schulerimkereiobsflotwedel35 Жыл бұрын
Why should you have as many bees on one spot? My bees are as many, as the spot feeds. So more bees affords more spots and the one, who moves, is me.

I don’t lend or rent out my bees for pollination, some of my queens are 8.000$ dollar ones high breed and no insurance cover those.
