46:00 Absolutely valuable advice. The individuals you've named there are known for brow-beating down anyone who has bee-sense and truly understands what's going on in the hive. Bush never budges on any topic however incorrect he may be. The woman you describe sounds absolutely miserable, so happy to have not made her acquaintance. The auxiliary heating of the hive is another trend that I hope finds its place in the dust bin soon. Your stock is rising, Michael Palmer. Preach it.

The best yet!!! I have been to a lot of conferences and no one can compare. Michael Palmer brings beekeeping full circle- for free. How generous!!! Thank you so much!!! As a busy mother of six and an R.N. I don't have the time to waste at another useless talk, especially the one where Monsanto bought out a veteran beekeeper and he was paid to tell us Neonics were not a problem. I embarrassed my 15 year old when I booed him and walked out!!! A breath of fresh air, please tell it like it is Michael. All beekeepers need to hear what you have to say , especially the new ones.!! THANKS AGAIN. PLEASE post the next one that was mentioned on Queen Rearing.

I have a 14 year old; since they get embarrassed no matter what we do, why not embarrass them for a worthwhile reason ... through actions you’ve taught your child that there are things in this world worth fighting for.

I have tried his queen rearing method and it works. Now we are developing the nucleus beehive system with his 4 way queen mating system too. Raising your own queens is a great way to expanded and select the best traits for wintering in north western Canada. Thank you mike for your videos.

There are many things to learn from this man….respectfully. Michael Bush is more about the Bees and Palmer is more about a commercial approach to beekeeping. Most new bee keepers aren’t about being commercial…there’s a big difference between the 2! Folks ask yourself why you are beekeeping, and then choose your style. I’ll stick with a chemical free approach, makes sense if you are eating it!

at 109:32 he described where he placed the honey frame when. he broke down the full hive into the nuc. the problem is we can't tell the frame placement of the brood or the honey frame into the nuc from this video. can someone help me learn the proper place of frames into the nuc when you break down the full brood box.
@LogicallyCompromised5 жыл бұрын
if you have not received an answer yet, typically we place resources on the outer walls and the center remains for the cluster. the good news is if you get it wrong the bees will often fix our mistakes at the expense of time. the bees want the resources accessible for the brood rearing, often the brood frames have resources in the outer perimeter and the queen lays an oval shaped pattern in the center. sorry a response has taken a year, live long and prosper good sir!
@decaturridgebees87615 жыл бұрын
I’ve been studying his technique for the last year. Here’s what I’ve gathered. Mike wants brood in these colonies and not honey. He prefers an uncapped frame of nectar over honey but that will go on the inside slot along the center of the brood nest. The bees do NOT like this and will move that out. The queen will then lay in that. If you put it on the outside, the bees will just leave it. Then, once the queen lays in that frame, he’s ready to add the next box. It goes straight up into the second box (super). A foundation frame goes in the empty bottom slot now. And, they will want to lay there so the bees will draw it out fast.
@philipwinkelhorst9345 жыл бұрын
Eggs, brood and larvae go behind the fly opening. The bees who keep the brood warm will also help defend the hive. Therefor they need to be close to the fly opening. Honey as far away from the fly opening. Always make the fly opening in nukes and small colonies as small as possible.

Big difference commercial goals versus natural methods..instead use thicker wood in hives to imitate trees, horizontal hives, etc. Should attract feral, local bees with better genetics adapted to local conditions.

As a damaged new beekeeper, I personally truly appreciate successful and no-nonsense, experienced beekeepers who call out others on their wonky advice. It is not fun when you go through the expense, effort, and emotional turmoil of following advice which you thought would be best for the creatures in your care, only to find out after failure that the advice was not the best to take. He is telling it like it is, to prevent new beekeepers from failing by being led astray by poorly thought out beekeeping theories. I feel like Mike Palmer is a treasure for this.
