As a natural beekeeper I don't believe in Evolution, instead I do believe in God. And that is my base for success as a natural beekeeping.

Texas Master Beekeeper program - given the time frame requirements, logistics, test scheduling, travel distances required, associated costs; this seems to be an unsurmountable task for almost anyone interested. Texas is a BIG state. And especially for us "older" guys. I now understand why there are so few Master Beekeepers. *** 66 year old beekeeper with 26+ years experience and 100+ hives.

Good talk on rearing queens. Please keep in mind that Michael Palmer has what he calls his brood factory. Which he uses to supply young bees to his queen starters. He also does not use a incubator he feels the bees know what to do, and they can do it better.

Just an FYI...the 2 frame nooks at Barnyard Bee's are made from OSB/Advantech's plywood, not MDF....MDF will swell up as soon as it gets wet...even if its painted. Also, Bob Binnie is using Caucasian Queen's for their propolis production and not Carniolan Bees.

Why aren't the slides shown? Zoom lets you switch the recording focus to the presentation slides and put the speaker into a side window. If you don't know how to do this, please pull the camera back 10ft so we can see everything.

Seems this was figured out around 12min in. You can also mute other zoom attendees so that they don't flip the camera due to phone noises.

Wow! I started some time ago and my only mentor has been via KZfaq. That said I have seen Bob Beenie, Burts Bees, Canadian Bee Keeper (name alludes me), Dave Burns who referenced Tom Sealey. I have seen 4 of his videos now and have a wonderful appreciation for his approach. I like the Darwinian approach as it has been my intention and most believe it to be a bit of a joke, I'm afraid. I very much like the promotion of captured swarms as hive management and find interesting the smaller box approach.

In theory, flax oil or canola would be good. They are highly unsaturated, and have a high omega 3 to 6 ratio. The refining process damages unsaturated oils. They also have a low shelf life. If this damage is too much, it might be best to use a saturated oil (coconut). A small amount of high end flax oil could be added to get a high omega 3 to 6 ratio.

I appreciate your video. One thing I think you should check with is his comments around OA being the only one that naturally occurs when thymol and formic occurs in nature as well. And OAV only works after you have little to no capped brood.

Last year 2020 our bee club in central Illinois started breeding local queens that have never been treated for mites. We hope that this will help with the mite problem, but Dr. Seeley's research opened my eyes. We also started a drone yard from these queens.

Pass this onto tom seeley. Step 1. Collect varroha infected bees and (preferably long lived winter bees) then pulverise them and add them to a pollen substitute. Step 2. Kill queen in colony. Step 3. Colony becomes hopelessly queenless, workers become drone laying. Step 4. Use drones to fertilize multiple queens. Step 5. Check colonies for high resistance because of direct line breeding with only genetics derived from survivor worker/drone layer to queen to egg.

Darwinian beekeeping you would not intervene but all random chance determine the result. Intervening is by its nature design. Evolution 101.
@atlas9172 Жыл бұрын
If I consider perspective... a light touch, if done well could be seen as something of a miracle. Not a terrible thing to strive for considering the many sins we have cast on them over the years. Darwinian is a fine approach if your not motivated by the cash flow.

In other words, one is no longer managing bees, first and foremost, but one has to learn the management of the mites and then manage bees as a sort of an after thought?? What are the methods wherefrom one would help the bees develop their own management of their own mite load...or is there such a thing?

@@honeyspoonbeewrangler4550 well, if my livelihood depended on it, I would probably say the same. But then I wouldn’t be objective....! That falls in the category of wanting my cake and eat too...never works...always create more problems that need to be fixed afterwords...and...we direct ourselves further and further from the nature of the bees...then maintain them alive artificially...I think we are pretty much there now...No...??? Observation...we have weaker and weaker bees...and weaker and weaker queens...It’s like walking on a track and not hearing the train that is coming up ahead...! What we are not ready to sacrifice today...life will take care of yet sooner or later...we put ourselves on a time bomb where beekeeping is concerned...! Just an observation from an outsider faced with a choice..??
