Tips for handling bees by Randy Oliver
Randy describes how to enter the bees’ sanctuary respectfully and perform hive inspections with minimal stinging. This lecture gives tips from a beekeeper with lifetime of experience working bees barehanded, and generally without any protective gear whatsoever. How the bees perceive you. How to understand what initiates the honey bee defence response, and how to avoid triggering it. What “upsets” bees, and what doesn’t.

Randy Oliver now helps his sons to run a commercial beekeeping operation of around 1500 hives in the foothills of Northern California, managing them for migratory pollination, nuc sales, and queen and honey production. This frees Randy to engage full-time in beekeeper-funded research projects. Randy analyses and digests the scientific research, to figure out best management practices for beekee...

Michael Palmer Sustainability Through Vertical Beekeeping
Просмотров 8 тыс.4 месяца назад
In 1998, when Michael first attempted to begin wintering nucleus colonies, his main concern … from where did he get the bees and brood? He had an apiary of thirteen colonies that needed to be moved. In July he broke down those colonies into forty nucleus colonies. All forty nuclei came through the Vermont winter. Was he convinced? Absolutely. Then came the second year. Michael could harvest bro...
Andrew Abrahams Nuclei, large and small, their uses and importance for sustainable beekeeping

Every beekeeper should have one or several nuclei; many do not. Beekeeping in the UK could become self sustaining again if all beekeepers became skilled in the use of nuclei. This presentation illustrates the way his management system on Colonsay uses nuclei to help maintain a closed population and also enables him to sell stocks off island, particularly to the remaining varroa free areas in Sc...

Humans have kept bees for thousands of years. Before we actually kept beehives we hunted them in the savannahs and forest and then moved towards managing them in hives that we provided.

    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.

      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.😃

    I live in North Western Minnesota and our winters are NOT getting warmer. Are some winters warmer than others? YES These are just cycles we go through. Some years we get tons of snow other not so much. This is NOT "global warming" or "climate change" as they call it. This is just a natural cycle. If we want to claim "climate change" we could say we are in a global cooling as our summers here have been cooler lately, but again this is just a natural cycle. Our typical winters get as cold as -40 F. with lots of snow. Our summers can get up around 100 and plenty of rain. These tempt don't always last the entire season though.

    My problem with not feeding bees because it's considered unnatural is that there's nothing natural about keeping bees in a box for your benefit. I think it's your responsibility to feed them back something when you're taking, manipulating, and moving their resources throughout the year. However I do think you should do what you can to limit that supplementation in terms of leaving them as much of their natural resources as possible. Which is going to vary depending on the beekeepers goals.

  • @melkel2010
    @melkel2010 Месяц назад

    The first question was about the tapering of the frames. The side legs of the frames are wide shouldered and narrower at the bottom. There are two practical reasons for this design. First, the wide top shoulder exceeds the width of the top bar. This give you automatic spacing as you push the frames tightly together, eliminating the need for a spacer tool. Adding this shoulder to the width of the frame legs caused a problem of waste wood when cutting the pieces out. The narrow end is the original width of the frame leg. Many pieces are cut out of a single board and the older models had a straight line cut between them. Now with the shouldered design, they wanted to still be able to make a single cut between them, so they invert every other leg and cut a single curvy line. The next time you assemble your frames, turn one leg upside down against another and see how they fit together like jigsaw puzzle pieces. Most of the wood doesn't need to be there, but for speedy manufacturing purposes, they cut them out this way. So that makes the second reason for their funny shape is speed in cutting the pieces out and decreasing wood scraps.

  • @caven930
    @caven930 Месяц назад
