I am seen nepal.

where are you from

Nice exploration around all famous pollination sites. Thank you. Best wishes.😮😮😮

Humans are the biggest pest.

Look at this. Shame on you people and beekeepers especially. Nobody wants to write a comment. You monoculture depending sellouts. Shame on you for feeding your over treated honey to your familys. What would need to happened for you to do something about it ? Sorry Humberto this stuff really makes me angry because I remember how it used to be before the lobbyists and the monocultures. I'm still in a place where it doesn't have effect on me. But I'm not running for profit. Healthy products are everything to me. And good beekeeping practice is the only way to work ...

Great vídeo in a great channel. Thank you! Obrigado!

I’ve read Curtis’s grandfathers book a few times. 👍👍

Beautiful video and informative

The fact that you put he, him next to the dude with the beard I can’t watch the rest.

Oxalic acid massive dose kills some mites, no mention of also decimating the brood and Queen too? What about growing a lot more wildflowers with some herbs like thyme and oregano varieties hedges amongst hives or where hives are going to be? That plus what I'm seeing on "brood breaks" / artificially splitting / to simulate a swarm might be an interesting combination of methods so we don't get synthetic chemicals in our honey and damaging the bees long term just because some company sponsored a chemical that kills mites and didn't mention how savage it is on the bees too.

Have you read any of Paul Stamets research about bees and mycelium? I believe you would both benefit from meeting each other.

You guys are wrong about your speculations on testing, the testing is very stringent and your simplest interpretation is useless.

I have tried every kind of treatments on the market BUT nothing compares to nothing at all ... literally i havent treated my bees for mites for over 2 years and i have an extremely low count of mites ..lower than what i had when i treated them

Love this channel ❤

I am not a beekeeper or scientist- just a huge fan of bees. My initial thought is they are trying to transfer their scent onto the material. Why do they do it more with rough surfaces than smooth ones? Well, rough surfaces have more surface area than smooth ones. Perhaps the scent of the material that they are trying to alter (to smell more like them) is stronger- more surface area = stronger scent. Or - maybe they are trying to do the Electric Slide or Moonwalk like the King himself. 😅

Evolving the genetics for mite resistance is the ultimate soluton. Commercial beekeepers are keeping poor genetics alive with chemicals. When you buy bees from these companies, you will lose your bees unless younuse chemicals as well.

I swear some of the ones I Canada seem huge like that haha 😂

Did he say ... " a turd group"... ??

Sounds very promising and from a common sense point of view seems to be a very practical device. As an amateur bee keeper and ex farmer, have observed how many fellow bee keepers do not understand the basics of farming bees compared to mass produced livestock on farms where excellent hygiene by keeping living area clinically clean is absolutely essential, be it keeping plants weed free to stop transmission of disease or with keeping animals isolated from other animals. Examples being, eliminating grass in cereal crops to stop ergot spores from releasing causing abortion in animals and madness and making sure badgers are innoculated or culled in areas where cattle are to stop the spread of TB. The importance of segregation too from other species of insect and fellow robbing insects YEAR ROUND should never be underestimated. That means employing permenant measures to stop this along with better waterproof, insulated and ventilated hives Until these measures are adopted disease will continue to be a major problem.

Wow! Sounds like there a lot of potential parallels between multinational pesticide development companies and pharmaceutical companies. So, for example, were a federal regulatory agency to be manipulated from within, shortening a normal 12 year average drug evaluation stage to 8 months, then releasing a basically unknown chemical broadly into the population with unknown long term affects, simultaneously enabling billions in profits to be made by these pharmaceutical companies...What would that mean for the unknowing and unsuspecting population? Yes, agreed, that certainly does give one pause for thought!

It's a chemical soup out there. People in every direction spraying various things, and bees have wings to visit them all.

Very interesting 👍 thank you for posting from central Otago southern New Zealand 👋

I know a man who used to put "scotch mint" candies in his hives, and he NEVER had mites, and those around him had mites... possibly the mint in the candies???

What are the countrys with less regulation than USA.? Libya, Afghanistan... ? I don't know

I would rather say that humans can find problems for any natural solution😎

Good conversation ….I brought bees back to my farm 3 years ago, I do not treat my bees with commercial bee treatments for mites and have been yelled at by beekeepers for that reason but I will not put another toxic chemical out there in the soup to add to our problems when no one is acknowledging or looking at the long term picture… we had bees on the farm as a kid as did many farms but in the sixties when canning companies starting aerial spraying fungicides on sweet corn fields and the practice of chemical spraying weeds spread thru the fifties and sixties with atrazine, 2,4,D , DDT, alaclor, and one of the first soil based insecticides, Thimet….we started loosing bees overwinter and so my dad gave up on the,…I’m an old farmer now I have seen all the changes in AG …genetic modifications of seeds started in 80’s and began its rollout in earlier 90’s first in soybeans and then slower in corn but around 2000-maybe 2002 where in one year they pushed the genetically modified corn down everyone’s throat and the seed available to farmers went from conventional corn to genetically modified. The year this happened the percent of available seed flipped from conventional corn 90% / GMO 10% to GMO 90% / 10% conventional corn thing I didn’t hear mentioned was chemtrails in the sky and effects of EMFs …this occurred about the same time as another major world event that stole our freedoms with a good sounding Patriot Act then tic tok…….open your eyes yet… Bees need water to survive like everything on earth maybe we should clean that up ….why are we still poisoning our water systems with fluoride…it’s a toxic waste by product created by chemical production dating back to the early 1900’s. So create a problem and supply a solution ….no should be consuming fluoride and it’s lie that your teeth need it…scientifically it does do one thing which is create a film inside your pineal gland which is your connection to source. The manipulation of numbers to give the outcome or answer they want you to believe is what mainstream science is about today…it’s not true science…..getting beekeepers to put poison in their is akin to mandating untested vaccinations upon the populace… True science should be asking is there active terraforming of earth going on in the skies, why is our world being filled with toxins on purpose…. Why would anyone invest in solar panel projects to harvest energy from the sun when they have openly talked about and practice putting nano chemicals aluminum and barium and others into our atmosphere to block the sun? With no discussion on resources and energy required to implement and the mass change to the natural environment I say all of this not to tell this is the gospel but please open your eyes and mind and seek truthful education so we all can change for the betterment of all.

Thks Humberto. We need full transparency into the chemical regulatory process. Profit should be the last consideration. All life has a purpose from GOD and should be respected. Shame on greedy ignorant money grabbers that worship the dollar💰

According to my colony notes, within 72 hours of the farmer spraying fields next to my hive, my apiary had a rapid and almost total brood die out. The larvae didn’t die immediately- they got symptoms that looked like EFB but the nutritional circumstances and colony sizes didn’t match typical EFB cases. They were packed out with fresh food. The bee inspector was as confused as I was. The farmer claimed “it’s just herbicide, we never spray pesticides.” Edit: the symptoms first appeared at the 72 hour mark and within a week most of the colonies experienced brood stress and death.

I love to see smart brothers ❤

Amazing

anything that is not natural has always ended up being harmful. stop ALL chemical trials

Enjoyed this talk and conversation. Thanks Humberto!

As a bee keeper I always try to keep all chemical treatments as well as biodiversity of flowers as much as possible, but it’s still always sad to have a hive die from pesticides

Noting will happen until there are term limits and both CEOs and board of directors are arrested and jailed. Great insights as always H.

Love your work. It's bad enough pharmaceutical companies do their test the same way with vaccines on people also. I agree more test need to be done for our safety and for the bees. 🐝💜✌️

I appreciate your work, as always.

Thin walled traditional vertical hives make for a perfect varroa breeding heaven. It is wet rather than humid. It is cold rather than warm particularly at night. It is already well known that varroa do not like humidity, probably because moisture laden air blocks their tiny trachea. It is less well known that pupa extend their pupation time in a lower temperature, by up to 3 days in a cooler night in the peripheral brood cells. More time for the varroa to mature. The ZEST hive, made from insulated blocks kills varroa by being humid and warm. Try it. It is free.

This is so great!

Great video! Would watch again

This guy probably has never kept bees.

Awesome project, fantastic idea. Bees are amazing creatures. I feel relaxed and calm around my hives, they help keep me grounded and focused. I also find myself thinking about bees in bed at night time and they will give you a reason to get out of bed and go outside in the morning. If i could put the benefits of bees in a pill, I'd be freakin rich.

The ultimate solution will be found through breeding for mite resistant traits. Using chemicals just perpetuates weak genetics. The problem is the grants for research are all for chemicals. Most of the breeding experiments are done by private individuals which are generally coordinated. However, progress is steadily being made.

Las colmenas en cruce HARMAN ,son mas sanas y mejores

I see those by the dozens when I'm cleaning trapped pollen.

I thought my bees were dancing salsa. Now I know it is called wash boarding.

Ok, 95% efficassy. And then what the 5% resistants will become? The future 100% resistants?

Great thank you
