This is one of the best beekeeping videos on the web.

I learned how to be a beekeeper off the Internet. I learned off KZfaq for free but nothing beats practical experiences and a good mentor.

Randy is great. I think this was the best presentation he's has ever done. Thank you for sharing this on KZfaq. I live in Virginia

Best (of an incredibly good lineup) speaker presentation I have seen yet from this year’s recordings!!! Thank you for making this resource available to all.

I chuckled because you said near 8:00 intro the video if you have to buy bees every year you're not successful, but you followed with you sell 1000 nucs every year

Why while the bottom comb is full, but neither queen nor bees go to upper comb?

What triggers them to produce white wax?

When they don’t have enough room and they want to produce wax to make more frames

is this the new insight of chemicals? How could bees survive for so long without chemicals for thousend of years?

Best I heard was reference to Zac Lamas and Ben Oldroyd... buuut he could be saying "OMHOLT". either way, what i could find quickly on the topic only produced this quote. /quote/ Winter bees have been identified within bee colonies living in temperate climates, and just like the name would suggest, this bee-type is present during the colder months of the year (late fall until early spring) (Amdam and Omholt, 2002; Amdam et al., 2005b; Mattila and Otis, 2007; Kunc et al., 2019). /end/ Certainly Randy always produces a great gig... even accepting all the self promotion as baggage.🙂

In other words when « mad cow » desease appeared a few years ago, they should not have been destroyed but treated…???? Hummm why was this not told to the beef producers? They could have kept all of their beautiful animals and would have been good beef producers if I understand you correctly? 🤷‍♀️

If your ancestors selected out the craziness and now you have some more docile bees.. yes you can learn how to move around them without protecting equipment. I'm watching my father all my life not having a smoker or a veil. We work in shorts on 35-40c with a hat to protect me from the sun. Sometimes I dip a tshirt in water to put on because of the heat.

There is no doubt Randy Oliver knows a lot about bees but to Quote Dr Thomas Seeley "If we had done nothing the Bees would have sorted out the problem of Varrora mite themselves in 4 years". The problem is commercial Beekeepers like Randy would rather rely on toxic chemicals indefinably rather that take the hit for 4 year while the Bees adapt. Dr Thomas Seeley is the Horace White Professor in Biology in the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior at Cornell University. He is the author of several books on honeybee behavior, including Honeybee Democracy and The Wisdom of the Hive He was the recipient of the Humboldt Prize in Biology in 2001. One of the foremost experts on Bees and Varrora mite alive today.

Feral bees have had decades, yet varroa still ravages. Sometimes the "bad guy" wins. Oxalic acid is like toilet paper for humans. I'm not going to wait for random selection to clean my rear.

@@robertkramer621 In 3rd world countries that could not afford chemicals their bees that have adapted. Treated Domestic bees with no resistance are constantly breading with feral bees that is what is slowing feral bees down. Its not rocket science. Personally I think you should wipe your arse with Oxalic Acid, let me know how that turns out.

0 seconds ago Yet the problem with Seeley is his meal ticket comes from academia, not labour. Not too many beekeepers have ever found the time to lay down in the local football pitch to gaze into the sky with visions of a DCA forming above... such is the thing of a child of the '60s, post Woodstock! Sure, Tom has his place... amongst the romantics "saving the bees". /wide grin / Respect for his publishing skills, yet I know for 100% certainty Tom has zero to teach anyone scoping the mite outcomes today... like so many building income off a pest it is not difficult to surpass their collective knowledge in an earnest set down study of applied biology. Ain't no pay day in that though. Take that to the Bank.😃

This is his life's passion. He is quite blunt with his criticism of new beeks, (we all have to start somewhere) but his scientific approach is helping the bee species for sure.
