I am planting a bee garden this summer and I really want people to realize how amazing our environment and fellow organisms are!
Justin Xiao yes! There are so many imported bees, but native bees are so important! Not only for those reasons but also because different bee species have different niches. That’s also why it is so important that we also have wild bees pollinating! A huge part of our ecosystem is the native bees, and we need to recognize it. Also because just like people when in unknown environments they are exposed to new diseases they don’t have an immunity built for! Ahh I love this topic
God bless you for your great work. You will succeed. Myself I've learned to feed the honey bees with brown sugar, putting lots of it into trays outside. They swarm upon it even when it's 45 degrees F outside, if the sun is out. There were thousands fed this Autumn, I will start again in the Spring. Keep up the good work.
@@GuruRasaVonWerder Hello Kellie. I really appreciate you. Just a tip about brown sugar.. Science has done years of test on the best sugar to feed bees if they need help, which most of them do now days, and care sugar was the clean winner simply because it mimics the sucrose in nectar better then any other. They also have found the brown sugar can eventually cause many problems in the bees health. Something to think about. I will share with you a superb sugar-feed recipe I have made and my hives are thriving with it. Yet I only feed early spring, in the dearth, and then late fall. I mix 1/2 or 1 gallon of 1to1 sugar feed for spring and dearth, and 2to1 in late fall, but with all of it, I mix in 1 tablespoon of Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon of Ascorbic Acid Vitamin C, three vials of Host Defense Longevity Reishi-Mycelium Extract, and one drop of lemongrass oil. The vinegar and Vit C, help turn the ph down to a more acid liquid to match the acidity of the hive and honey, which the bees can digest better. And the Reishi-Mycelium helps increase the life of the bees up to 6 days, along with helping protect the bees from virus' cause by mites. I also add all of this into my MEGABEE protein sub, which I just found out about, and it is superior to all others. The bees fight over it. Seriously. With that, I add all my extra vitamins as listed about, and use three tablespoon of Corn Oil. Corn oil, over any other oil, gives the bees the lipids they need , and along with the MegaBee vitamin profile, they nurse bees royal jelly glands are stimulated to go into overdrive making super healthy larva. Hope all this helps. God bless
@@bradgoliphant Wow. That is quite a recipe. Thanks for telling us, maybe some people out there can do it.

When I got into gardening years ago a wise old horticulturist told me it's best to work with nature and not against it. Since heeding her words, keeping an open mind and being conscience about how I cultivate my yard it's helped me build a bountiful harvest year after year. I've been planting more native pollinator plants through out for all the pollinators not just bees but also butterflies,moths and hummingbirds. I don't use chemicals. I let nature do what it does I'm only there as steward.
Try beekeeping; it's a great hobby and you will become a weather observer, biologist, and throw in some great reading. Beekeeper for 5 years with 3 hives in my back yard.
I work at a greenhouse, and last year my boss said she needed 2 volonteers to learn about bees for we are getting an apiary on the grounds. I volonteered and at first I was very skeptical, but after the first class in beekeeping I was hooked. It's really fun and the local beekeepers in our club is great to hang out with :)
Wonderful documentary! If everything goes well me, my husband and two friends will have our own hives this very summer - I'm really looking forward to it. I feel like beekeeping is a wonderful way to contribute to a better world. Thanks for good motivation!

I want things to change for the better for the future of our childrens children today this video really shows that... Really appreciate everyone involved in making this thank you
the Varroa mite showed up around 2000, too.I grew up in an area that had many farmers who used paraquat, heavily. Many had cancer leukemia was the cause of death among about 4 of my neighbors)1960-`1990.
Sustainable beekeeping is where you continually raise up more bee colonies. That's advanced beekeeping but that's where the fun is at. The joy you get when you find a newly mated queen laying eggs is very real. If you're a new beek you should seriously learn at least a little about queen rearing. It's actually easy. Have fun.
I've been a beekeeper since1985 and the challenges have seemed overwhelming at times. However, a decade ago I switched to an Italian "Hygienic" honeybee which was the result of many years of work by the USDA and commercial beekeepers; this strain of honeybee is highly resistant to mite infestations. I stopped all chemical use within the hives which only add to a colony's burden. Today, my honeybees are thriving! And I've allowed countless swarms to issue from my hives to populate the surroundings countryside. On a final note: it's been proven that the health of a honeybee queen is severly affected by the pesticides entering the hive; therefore, their productivity has diminished to a year, at best. I've found that older queens often don't survive their second winter causing the whole colony to perish.
As a beekeeper myself I almost hate to say what I'm about to, but I feel that it's more important to be honest about things. I appreciate that folks are fighting against the use of pesticides and monocrops and I wholeheartedly agree that they are bad for the planet and not a sustainable option for our future. That said everyone should realize that honeybees are not native to North America. We have literally thousands of species of native bees that most people are completely unaware of and get no attention not to mention other pollinators like mosquitos. If honeybees were completely wiped out from North America we would still have pollinators doing the job, you just wouldn't get honey. That's bad for me as a beekeeper but what is even worse is the misrepresentation of the honeybee as the only pollinators. We need to be honest with people if we are to be taken seriously. Things are indeed bad enough on their own and we don't need to trump it up with a bunch of bs about saving the invasive honeybee population, it only serves to create holes in an otherwise valid argument. I'm not suggesting that honeybees are bad or shouldn't be helped but stop with the hysterics and be completely honest.
@@kobyhumbert4798 a generous amount of care needs to be taken concerning honey bees and mites as well. First, pesticides do a fine job at killing bees! This is widely accepted and no longer debatable. Second, mites don't kill bees. They spread disease within the colony and the diseases that they carry and spread also kills bees. The problem though is that not all mites are created equally. Too often, mites get blamed whenever a colony fails simply because of their presence. Let me be clear about something, if you have bees, you have mites! That does not mean that you have the varroa destructor mite. In fact the presence of some mites could be beneficial, assuming they are of the nuisance variety, since they crowd out and prevent the proliferation of the varroa destructor. More often than not when someone tells me that one of their colonies failed, it's due to poor management, not mites. Simply watching for the presence of mites and then treating the colony with chemicals to kill the mites is not a good strategy. We need to be carefully observing the colonies and practicing sustainable bee management. Hopefully soon, science will catch up and make bee keeping a bit easier by helping us to quickly identify varroa-a vs. varroa-b and proper effective treatments can be followed quickly.
@@LtDan-ni5rw no it's the mites, the transport CCD. PERIOD, I have 1800 hives and yes many other things effect the bees but pesticides are at the bottom of the list when it comes to maintaining a healthy hive.
@@kobyhumbert4798 No, nothing transports CCD. Colony collapse disorder is a disorder, not a disease. It's a combination of problems each of which requires attention and action. I would like to think that a person who runs a commercial apiary would know something about this.... But then again the mite problem just keeps getting worse because of people like you treating unnecessarily, in turn breeding for treatment resistant mites and causing more problems. Though I have to say, you are right about one thing. Pesticides are low on the list of concerns when you, and people like you, continue to ignore basic science and common knowledge and continue unsustainable practices. Surely a person who maintains 1800 hives would at least have a vested interest in reducing the ever growing cost of treatments and lost colonies each year... You are not the only beekeeper out there! Many people, myself included, have excellent success with little to no chemical treatments. You need to recognize that some mites play an important role in a healthy colony akin to the bacteria within the human gut. Not all bacteria are bad, just as not all mites are bad. In both cases the mere presence of one prevents the proliferation of another potentially harmful type.
@@LtDan-ni5rw I'm sorry you are wrong! It is so clear... So clear, hives with high might counts don't make it through winter plain and simple. ALL hives with high mite counts die and they die 90% of the time from CCD. IM SORRY YOU ARE WRONG, and you are pushing a horrible lie. The hippy save the bees by banning the pesticides bs is going to let the verrola mite get so out of control that there will be no European honey bees left in north america. Already there is little to no natural hives that make it through winter cause by time they swarm out of your hobby box they are so infested with mites they can't make it past late September
The man who said that court cases had been won but officials hadn't acted? Drag their sorry asses in front of the same courts for contempt, and I guarantee that their replacements will behave differently.
The title of the video is about beekeeping but the content of the video is about agriculture and soil. It's like car manufacturer learning about oil extraction.
An easy way to increase food production and help bees is to count the number of plows on a drag. Say there are ten plows on a drag for planting. Drag ten rows then plant one row of PERENNIAL seed in a seed mix friendly to bees for pollen and nectar resources. This will attract and multiply naturally occurring insects that feed on harmful insects. It will support not just bees but butterflies and hummingbirds as well. Hummingbirds are known to eat many insects. Mosquitoes, spiders, flies. Cattle that feed on grasses and nectar plants produce the best meat. The more variety of feed the cattle have the better the meat. Same with bees. The more types of resources produce the strongest brood and best honey production. A no lose situation. People seem to love flavors that are layered in taste. Why do people think cattle and bees need only a single resource for food? What they eat is dependent on what we taste for ourselves. Who wants a single flavor bland beer? i want beer that starts light and finishes with a sharp end and a clean finish. Each sip like a journey. same with food we cook. A nice ribeye with a seared exterior and a succulent inside with plenty of aroma when sliced is a grill perfection. The way to attain this is through feed provided for cattle and pollinating insects that rely on these resources for health and in turn our health. BEE SMART. Never plant a single resource.
Thank you for interesting video about beekeeping and internal life of the hive and honey bees. Best wishes to the entomologists, beekeepers, bumble-belovers, bees lovers, and insect lovers! Greetings from Ukraine.😮😊😮😊😊
I have an idea but it will take a lot of money. Can you imagine all the acres with multiple levels of cement and steel. On the levels we would grow all types of food. On the ground would be trees with the fruits. With this method the building would be closed to any chemicals. Can you imagine how many jobs this would create. The use of all electronic vehicles. The power would be from solar panels. Our honey bees 🐝 would be producing all year and our food supply would be 24/7. This is the beginning but it would have to be built to withstand any and all powerful storms. I am sure the brains could grow this idea.
“If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live. No more bees, no more pollination… no more men!” -Albert Einstein
@@lamegalectora This quote was said a long time ago, men a long time ago really just meant people in general, but they liked to just address the men. But it would be funny if women/other genders were able to survive without bees.
@@dmlppspringtraploverNone of those bees can pollinate huge fields of one crop that we need to feed large populations of people nor can those bees be transported in small boxes containing 65,000 necessary pollination agents in each box. Plus none of those bees can produce pollen for collection as food for hunans or honey for humans in enough quantity.
We are a Baltimore urban apiary in city only!!! The farming county is a death zone for bees due to massive corn and soy farming and chemicals...there is literally nothing for bees to forage outside the city now...
Farm grown produce tastes better and has more nutrient content. Nothing beats pulling a bright red tomato off the plant and eating it or raw corn straight off the plant. City dwellers have mostly never even guess what truely fresh veggies taste like
Put brown sugar in trays out there for honey bees, especially in late summer & Autumn when flowers are scarce, they are desperate for making honey for the winter.
Great video. I hope ppl truly understand how important these bees are to our livelihood. I also believe that the chem trails that they are going every day in our skies is adding to the honey bees death. Keep fighting for our livelihood. Thank you
They got the genetics in plants, insects, and animals SO SCREWED UP.! WHERE NOT GOING TO LAST LONG i bought some tomato's at WALMART rite THE DAM SEEDS ARE SPROUTING GREEN INSIDE THE DAM TOMATO'S> THIS NOT RITE! > its a must to do things NATURAL WAYS > Not to MESS WITH MOTHER NATURE
Honey bee's are invasive. Imported from Europe. We are not 100% dependent on them for pollination. The only benefit they have is honey. There are many hundreds of different insects that pollinate from all variations on butterflys, to different bees, to even some beetles.
Yes and no. The food crops that are insect pollinated are not native and under current management practices require honey bee pollination. In the US, most commercial bees are kept for pollination services, not for honey. For example, I think the current numbers are about 1.2 million commercial bee hives in the US, and about 1 million are trucked to the almond orchards in California for the few weeks of bloom, then they spend the summer cross-crossing the US from apples to blueberries to pumpkins, etc. Most of the grocery store honey is imported and often adulterated with high-fructose corn syrup. If you buy honey, buy from a local b-keep.
That was found to be debunked! In 2017 a honeybee was discovered in situ in a dry lake bed in Nevada USA. It is 100% identical to the modern honeybee apis mellifera! There are documented reports of indiginous people in the Bahamas trading honeybee wax in large quantities for European goods with the Spanish explorersin the 1500s.
I try to add as much to my soil as I use and more. I add wood chips and mulch to my yard. I only break the soil where I'm putting a plant. And then I add bonemeal bloodmeal and rabbit poop to the hole I make. I mulch it with grass clipping and wood chips. I want to make the most fertile land and bees friendly. I've thought about raising a pig to work fertility deeper into the soil.
And what happened to all the bugs that used to have to be cleaned off the car window- focusing on bees alone is a distortion alloweb by the culprits WYFI and Monsanto and 5G soon to finish them off
Become an Urban Guerrilla Beekeeper - Keep bees illegally. I am an UGB for five years. Even if your jurisdiction has beekeeping as "legal", there are often so many restrictions placed on the beekeeper that it makes their city look "pollinator-friendly", but their ordinances make it impossible to keep bees. Keep bees illegally. It's "Good Trouble".
When the soil is tilled. Doesn't that break up the mycelium network? Perhaps spraying mycelium spores into the soil as it is tilled would help? Even detoxification of all sorts of chemicals that have been sprayed? Not an expert. More like an out side the box food for thought idea.
But no one thing about this serious problem. People use a lot of pesticides insecticides in their fields. People destroy beehives everywhere. But they don't think about that what is our future without bees without pollination without nature.
Why didn't he sue the farmer for killing half of his bees it was the farmer's fault. Government needs to ban the use of pesticides and instead invest in ways to combat pests like insecticidal soap which doesn't harm beneficial insects. And in rare exceptions use stronger pesticides for sever insect infestation.
@@gfred2006 The USDA is controlled by the chemical mafia men. They could use beneficial insects and host specific bacteria instead of pesticides and natural chemicals like vinegar instead of herbicies that are forever toxic non biodegradable
This lady should Remember what she said she wants to nourish the world not just feed the world. An she said in a way that lowers food production is ok with her. We have to Remember that lowering food production means people die that's fact. We need to do both plus reduce food waste in all forms. And try to get people to include more efficient food forms that get a better caloric bang for the input buck.? Cl
"people die that's fact" Not so easy as that. As you also note, its waste and more importantly distribution of food, and subsidy of the wrong kinds of food, and eating food rather than feeding food to animals to eat the animals. How much of the US corn and Soy is turned into automobile fuel? As if food were not scarce enough, we feed it to our cars....Hmmmmm
This is why I'm uber organic with my property. I love my bees and I love seeing what they are doing with my trees and all my plants and bushes in my yard. I've even got my neighbors to not use poisons( except for fireant killer)
I'm a huge proponent of no till agriculture. I live in an agroforestry system that I've planted over the past decade. But...I'm unclear as to what the correlation is between no till ag, and honey bee health. Am I missing something? PS. I'm also a beekeeper.
Unfortunately the new horrifying DEAD Zone in the Gulf is caused from the non biodegradable herbicides the huge agriculture corporations are spraying to chemically burn the land instead of scratching it( cultivating) to make a seed bed. The herbicide accumulation dead zone is now 5,000 square miles of completely dead "phytoplankton" oxygen production microbial plants and the dead zone is growing faster with each herbicide no till crop year.
We should build bee sized drones , super light, capable of self charging and talking to nearby wifi towers for ai control. Program them to find things to pollinate.
We also need a ban on pesticide use in suburban areas. Every year the pesticide salesman comes by and sells a whole property treatment, if even a few percent of people buy it that's WAY too much poison in our environment.
This will be my second year all my hives died over winter, many things against the honey bee. We must find a way to spray and not hurt the bees, its 2020 we can do anything but this my 2 cents worth
Gotta let the land rest every seventh year so that it can rejuvenate. It’s biblical....if you keep using the same plot of land year after year after year you deplete all of the minerals and that’s why you gotta give it a seventh year sabbath (rest)
Now I understand pesticide death. Where I am pesticides aren’t used. Different agricultural products. Not using cover crops and rotate cuts into a farms survival as well.
They are destroying natural weather patterns/ cycles to control the humans the way they exterminated the migratory bison herd to exterminate the freedom of the indiginous people.
Each of these animals are part of nature and part of our life. They must be understood and respected. At least live freely in their nature. Taking them from their original places playing with them not a true decision. Each of these animals are combinations of many programs. Human need to read them , need to think and need to understand the real reasons of these creatures. For example human just few years back start to use screen touch systems in their phones but these animals has screen touch system in their skin and bodies for million years.
Well, watching my hives and inflammation dissolve every day until it all disappeared was definitely appeasing, I went with what I mentioned and after 20 days my urticaria/angioedema disappeared. I just go'ogled the latest by Shane Zormander and now my skin is as smooth and healthy as it has ever been!
Urban sprawl is the biggest killer of our ecosystem. New housing developments first task is to strip off the topsoil and all the creatures saving our planet with it.
As a professional beekeeper that runs a Cowen Honey extracting line and moves hives all over to keep from having to Artificial feed. Im going to tell you like it is. The industry is GONE because of Honey being imported with disease, queen breeders out of California DILUTING genetics, the USDA not allowing Origin stocks of bees into the states anymore, Breeders pulling Queens 2 weeks TOO early from mating AND hobbyists that REFUSE to treat for Varroa mites, when they shoulda been doing it once every month during the warm season. and if you dont believe me. Welp., KMA. Monsanto is the least of anyone's worries, but they aren't a saint either. and Fungicide needs to be outlawed.
BINGO!!! On all counts. And you are quite right....the golden era of stuffing some bees in a box and letting them do their thing are......sadly.....gone. History. No more. If you want to keep bees these days you need to be prepared for one of two things: Treatment free means intensive hive management in ways that 99.99999% of hobby beekeepers simply are not prepared to engage in.......or treat your bees.....which simply means treating them like any other selectively bred farm animal that actually does require human participation and support to maintain their health. (There's a third option but it usually involves watching a hive die a slow & unnecessary death.)
This shows the arrogance of mankind, we think we can make things better and make more money. But in the end the best way is always how God designed it.
Climate Change is not the issue. Bees do so much better in warmer weather, my bees in FL have a way better chance than bees up north. It is the mono-crop farming and their and Pesticides and Fungicides. My bees are completely wild caught/splits and no pesticides or mitacides in any of my Topbar hives (all my hives are topbars) They are insanely happy and healthy.
@@BrandonTorres dont you mean global warming. Oh wait they changed it after they realized their bullshit was obvious not coming to fruition. Anthropogenic climate change is a farce told to you by your slave masters who think of you as less than human. Think for yourself and stop listening to known liars.
Max Amillion You think chemtrails are real? They are definitely dropping aerosols and countless other chems all over us, and wildlife. I agree global warming is a farce as well.
Climate change creates more dramatic changes and unpredictable weather. It means more tropical storms, colder winters, hotter summers. This is a very complicated problem with many symptoms. Climate change probably plays a part in the change in bee behavior, but it’s certainly not the only thing. The world is a very complicated place and when something is thrown out of balance, it can be detrimental to every living thing.

I've found that older queens often don't survive their second winter causing the whole colony to perish.
As a beekeeper myself I almost hate to say what I'm about to, but I feel that it's more important to be honest about things. I appreciate that folks are fighting against the use of pesticides and monocrops and I wholeheartedly agree that they are bad for the planet and not a sustainable option for our future. That said everyone should realize that honeybees are not native to North America. We have literally thousands of species of native bees that most people are completely unaware of and get no attention not to mention other pollinators like mosquitos. If honeybees were completely wiped out from North America we would still have pollinators doing the job, you just wouldn't get honey. That's bad for me as a beekeeper but what is even worse is the misrepresentation of the honeybee as the only pollinators. We need to be honest with people if we are to be taken seriously. Things are indeed bad enough on their own and we don't need to trump it up with a bunch of bs about saving the invasive honeybee population, it only serves to create holes in an otherwise valid argument. I'm not suggesting that honeybees are bad or shouldn't be helped but stop with the hysterics and be completely honest.
Well it would be nice if we would also be honest about the mites being the problem killing the honey bees not the pesticide use
@@kobyhumbert4798 a generous amount of care needs to be taken concerning honey bees and mites as well. First, pesticides do a fine job at killing bees! This is widely accepted and no longer debatable. Second, mites don't kill bees. They spread disease within the colony and the diseases that they carry and spread also kills bees. The problem though is that not all mites are created equally. Too often, mites get blamed whenever a colony fails simply because of their presence. Let me be clear about something, if you have bees, you have mites! That does not mean that you have the varroa destructor mite. In fact the presence of some mites could be beneficial, assuming they are of the nuisance variety, since they crowd out and prevent the proliferation of the varroa destructor. More often than not when someone tells me that one of their colonies failed, it's due to poor management, not mites. Simply watching for the presence of mites and then treating the colony with chemicals to kill the mites is not a good strategy. We need to be carefully observing the colonies and practicing sustainable bee management. Hopefully soon, science will catch up and make bee keeping a bit easier by helping us to quickly identify varroa-a vs. varroa-b and proper effective treatments can be followed quickly.
@@LtDan-ni5rw no it's the mites, the transport CCD. PERIOD, I have 1800 hives and yes many other things effect the bees but pesticides are at the bottom of the list when it comes to maintaining a healthy hive.
@@kobyhumbert4798 No, nothing transports CCD. Colony collapse disorder is a disorder, not a disease. It's a combination of problems each of which requires attention and action. I would like to think that a person who runs a commercial apiary would know something about this.... But then again the mite problem just keeps getting worse because of people like you treating unnecessarily, in turn breeding for treatment resistant mites and causing more problems. Though I have to say, you are right about one thing. Pesticides are low on the list of concerns when you, and people like you, continue to ignore basic science and common knowledge and continue unsustainable practices. Surely a person who maintains 1800 hives would at least have a vested interest in reducing the ever growing cost of treatments and lost colonies each year... You are not the only beekeeper out there! Many people, myself included, have excellent success with little to no chemical treatments. You need to recognize that some mites play an important role in a healthy colony akin to the bacteria within the human gut. Not all bacteria are bad, just as not all mites are bad. In both cases the mere presence of one prevents the proliferation of another potentially harmful type.
@@LtDan-ni5rw I'm sorry you are wrong! It is so clear... So clear, hives with high might counts don't make it through winter plain and simple. ALL hives with high mite counts die and they die 90% of the time from CCD. IM SORRY YOU ARE WRONG, and you are pushing a horrible lie. The hippy save the bees by banning the pesticides bs is going to let the verrola mite get so out of control that there will be no European honey bees left in north america. Already there is little to no natural hives that make it through winter cause by time they swarm out of your hobby box they are so infested with mites they can't make it past late September
I just went out and built a bee garden with flowering natives like gravilleas and the bees love it..
Thank you for sharing this and making the difference in our society. The younger generations are listening :)
The man who said that court cases had been won but officials hadn't acted?
Drag their sorry asses in front of the same courts for contempt, and I guarantee that their replacements will behave differently.
The title of the video is about beekeeping but the content of the video is about agriculture and soil.
It's like car manufacturer learning about oil extraction.
Good work, blessed by our Mother God
An easy way to increase food production and help bees is to count the number of plows on a drag. Say there are ten plows on a drag for planting. Drag ten rows then plant one row of PERENNIAL seed in a seed mix friendly to bees for pollen and nectar resources. This will attract and multiply naturally occurring insects that feed on harmful insects. It will support not just bees but butterflies and hummingbirds as well. Hummingbirds are known to eat many insects. Mosquitoes, spiders, flies. Cattle that feed on grasses and nectar plants produce the best meat. The more variety of feed the cattle have the better the meat. Same with bees. The more types of resources produce the strongest brood and best honey production. A no lose situation. People seem to love flavors that are layered in taste. Why do people think cattle and bees need only a single resource for food? What they eat is dependent on what we taste for ourselves. Who wants a single flavor bland beer? i want beer that starts light and finishes with a sharp end and a clean finish. Each sip like a journey. same with food we cook. A nice ribeye with a seared exterior and a succulent inside with plenty of aroma when sliced is a grill perfection. The way to attain this is through feed provided for cattle and pollinating insects that rely on these resources for health and in turn our health. BEE SMART. Never plant a single resource.
Abso-fucking-lootly
when they say "save the pollinators", they aren't just saying save the honeybees. There's other pollinators.
Extremely powerful documentary.
Thank you for interesting video about beekeeping and internal life of the hive and honey bees. Best wishes to the entomologists, beekeepers, bumble-belovers, bees lovers, and insect lovers! Greetings from Ukraine.😮😊😮😊😊
I have an idea but it will take a lot of money. Can you imagine all the acres with multiple levels of cement and steel. On the levels we would grow all types of food. On the ground would be trees with the fruits. With this method the building would be closed to any chemicals. Can you imagine how many jobs this would create. The use of all electronic vehicles. The power would be from solar panels. Our honey bees 🐝 would be producing all year and our food supply would be 24/7. This is the beginning but it would have to be built to withstand any and all powerful storms. I am sure the brains could grow this idea.
This is a great watch.
Our greed will lead to our extinction.
Jek Saak There is no “our greed” it’s big Agriculture’s greed.
Wonderful documentary ❤️
“If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live. No more bees, no more pollination… no more men!” -Albert Einstein
What about women?
Not true if he really said that thats a lie there are other pollens than just bees like butterflies and other Beatles
@@lamegalectora This quote was said a long time ago, men a long time ago really just meant people in general, but they liked to just address the men. But it would be funny if women/other genders were able to survive without bees.
@@dmlppspringtraploverNone of those bees can pollinate huge fields of one crop that we need to feed large populations of people nor can those bees be transported in small boxes containing 65,000 necessary pollination agents in each box. Plus none of those bees can produce pollen for collection as food for hunans or honey for humans in enough quantity.
We are a Baltimore urban apiary in city only!!! The farming county is a death zone for bees due to massive corn and soy farming and chemicals...there is literally nothing for bees to forage outside the city now...
Farm grown produce tastes better and has more nutrient content. Nothing beats pulling a bright red tomato off the plant and eating it or raw corn straight off the plant. City dwellers have mostly never even guess what truely fresh veggies taste like
Very interesting documentary , love learning !
Good video.
Problem: Mutated plants
Solution: Mutated Bees (with giant stingers)
Modern day problems require modern day solutions
What does a stinger have to do with the plant?
Put brown sugar in trays out there for honey bees, especially in late summer & Autumn when flowers are scarce, they are desperate for making honey for the winter.
When I was a kid, you couldn’t walk on the clover without shoes because it was covered in bees.
Those days are gone forever because Man is stupid.
@@emiltrees I’m personally seeing wildlife recover. Bees will recover.
@@itsokaytobeclownpilled5937I hope you are correct about this
Thank you
Interesting comments thinking about keeping bees,❤
9:20 "The Guy from 1901" referred here is probably Rudolf Steiner the founder of Bio dynamic farming. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodynamic_agriculture
Great video. I hope ppl truly understand how important these bees are to our livelihood. I also believe that the chem trails that they are going every day in our skies is adding to the honey bees death. Keep fighting for our livelihood. Thank you
Beautiful documentary
Vote for RFK, JR to heal our farming communities
Only the electoral college voters are able to select the president. It doesn't matter if 100% of us voted for the same person. We don't matter.
thanks a lot
They got the genetics in plants, insects, and animals SO SCREWED UP.! WHERE NOT GOING TO LAST LONG i bought some tomato's at WALMART rite THE DAM SEEDS ARE SPROUTING GREEN INSIDE THE DAM TOMATO'S> THIS NOT RITE! > its a must to do things NATURAL WAYS > Not to MESS WITH MOTHER NATURE
Honey bee's are invasive. Imported from Europe. We are not 100% dependent on them for pollination. The only benefit they have is honey. There are many hundreds of different insects that pollinate from all variations on butterflys, to different bees, to even some beetles.
Yes and no. The food crops that are insect pollinated are not native and under current management practices require honey bee pollination. In the US, most commercial bees are kept for pollination services, not for honey. For example, I think the current numbers are about 1.2 million commercial bee hives in the US, and about 1 million are trucked to the almond orchards in California for the few weeks of bloom, then they spend the summer cross-crossing the US from apples to blueberries to pumpkins, etc. Most of the grocery store honey is imported and often adulterated with high-fructose corn syrup. If you buy honey, buy from a local b-keep.
That was found to be debunked! In 2017 a honeybee was discovered in situ in a dry lake bed in Nevada USA. It is 100% identical to the modern honeybee apis mellifera! There are documented reports of indiginous people in the Bahamas trading honeybee wax in large quantities for European goods with the Spanish explorersin the 1500s.
Well done..😍
💛🖤 I'm going to start with one hive and do research for a year before I really dive In I want to be well educated before I get in over my head
Did you ever finally get into beekeeping?
I try to add as much to my soil as I use and more. I add wood chips and mulch to my yard. I only break the soil where I'm putting a plant. And then I add bonemeal bloodmeal and rabbit poop to the hole I make. I mulch it with grass clipping and wood chips. I want to make the most fertile land and bees friendly. I've thought about raising a pig to work fertility deeper into the soil.
And what happened to all the bugs that used to have to be cleaned off the car window- focusing on bees alone is a distortion alloweb by the culprits WYFI and Monsanto and 5G soon to finish them off
This is heartbreaking 😭😢😢
Yet there are LAWS against harmless roof-top beekeeping...and solar panels too (HOAs), because of bribe-based politics. (yes, California)
Become an Urban Guerrilla Beekeeper - Keep bees illegally. I am an UGB for five years. Even if your jurisdiction has beekeeping as "legal", there are often so many restrictions placed on the beekeeper that it makes their city look "pollinator-friendly", but their ordinances make it impossible to keep bees.
Keep bees illegally. It's "Good Trouble".
@@play-doughsrepublic5121You have a right to save the honeybees
When the soil is tilled. Doesn't that break up the mycelium network? Perhaps spraying mycelium spores into the soil as it is tilled would help? Even detoxification of all sorts of chemicals that have been sprayed? Not an expert. More like an out side the box food for thought idea.
The only hobby that will give you back real buzz!!!!
Monsanto ??
But no one thing about this serious problem. People use a lot of pesticides insecticides in their fields. People destroy beehives everywhere. But they don't think about that what is our future without bees without pollination without nature.
Why didn't he sue the farmer for killing half of his bees it was the farmer's fault. Government needs to ban the use of pesticides and instead invest in ways to combat pests like insecticidal soap which doesn't harm beneficial insects. And in rare exceptions use stronger pesticides for sever insect infestation.
@@gfred2006 The USDA is controlled by the chemical mafia men. They could use beneficial insects and host specific bacteria instead of pesticides and natural chemicals like vinegar instead of herbicies that are forever toxic non biodegradable
if its straight up killing the bees, what is it doing to the cells in our body...
I love you beekeepers
This lady should Remember what she said she wants to nourish the world not just feed the world. An she said in a way that lowers food production is ok with her. We have to Remember that lowering food production means people die that's fact. We need to do both plus reduce food waste in all forms. And try to get people to include more efficient food forms that get a better caloric bang for the input buck.? Cl
"people die that's fact" Not so easy as that. As you also note, its waste and more importantly distribution of food, and subsidy of the wrong kinds of food, and eating food rather than feeding food to animals to eat the animals. How much of the US corn and Soy is turned into automobile fuel? As if food were not scarce enough, we feed it to our cars....Hmmmmm
This is why I'm uber organic with my property. I love my bees and I love seeing what they are doing with my trees and all my plants and bushes in my yard. I've even got my neighbors to not use poisons( except for fireant killer)
I'm a huge proponent of no till agriculture. I live in an agroforestry system that I've planted over the past decade. But...I'm unclear as to what the correlation is between no till ag, and honey bee health. Am I missing something? PS. I'm also a beekeeper.
No til less weeds less weeds less herbicides?
Unfortunately the new horrifying DEAD Zone in the Gulf is caused from the non biodegradable herbicides the huge agriculture corporations are spraying to chemically burn the land instead of scratching it( cultivating) to make a seed bed. The herbicide accumulation dead zone is now 5,000 square miles of completely dead "phytoplankton" oxygen production microbial plants and the dead zone is growing faster with each herbicide no till crop year.
Yes. Good guys like you. Stop killer for bees.....God will help our bees..
We should build bee sized drones , super light, capable of self charging and talking to nearby wifi towers for ai control.
Program them to find things to pollinate.
Check out Black Mirror: Hated in the Nation for a Bee drone.......careful what you wish for!
Bees cant be replaced. we need to co-live..
Holy smokes that music is the absolute worst. Otherwise good job!
Did you pay attention to the video or the music
The word of The Century is...

You would love to read the book THE NEW WILD by Fred Pearce. It's so educational every paragraph has no filler.
We also need a ban on pesticide use in suburban areas. Every year the pesticide salesman comes by and sells a whole property treatment, if even a few percent of people buy it that's WAY too much poison in our environment.

I fucking love it. We are capable of returning to where it all started
KEEP THE BEES ALIVE AND THE PLANET 🌏
This will be my second year all my hives died over winter, many things against the honey bee. We must find a way to spray and not hurt the bees, its 2020 we can do anything but this my 2 cents worth
butterflies: ._.
We've been managing land wrong for so long. We destroyed the mycelium
Watching this and at the end a TruGreen commercial pops up. #KeeptheHivesAlive #ProtectOurPollinators
Monsanto strikes again.
In Canada there are only 998 bees left
Wish that "THAT GUY WITH BLUE TSHIRT" would be my neighbour.
I love ants and bees
2021 alot of the 3lb shipped bees are arriving dead I hope my bees arrive safely
Спасибо за хороший фильм!
Gotta let the land rest every seventh year so that it can rejuvenate. It’s biblical....if you keep using the same plot of land year after year after year you deplete all of the minerals and that’s why you gotta give it a seventh year sabbath (rest)
The land needs its Sabbaths! Every seventh yr. let it rest🎚
Now I understand pesticide death. Where I am pesticides aren’t used. Different agricultural products. Not using cover crops and rotate cuts into a farms survival as well.
Lets keep the bees alive. Cheers
NOT A WORD ABOUT 25 YEARS OF CHEMTRAILS???...
They are destroying natural weather patterns/ cycles to control the humans the way they exterminated the migratory bison herd to exterminate the freedom of the indiginous people.
Each of these animals are part of nature and part of our life. They must be understood and respected. At least live freely in their nature. Taking them from their original places playing with them not a true decision. Each of these animals are combinations of many programs. Human need to read them , need to think and need to understand the real reasons of these creatures. For example human just few years back start to use screen touch systems in their phones but these animals has screen touch system in their skin and bodies for million years.
There are people who can not even tell a Bee from a Wasp, add human greed... No Bees
I have new bee hive forming on my lemon tree can someone please come get it. I’m allergic to it and can’t afford the price for relocating the hives.
No captions?
Really it’s Monsanto’s fault
And Bayer
@@itrthhoThey are all the same chemical mafia that just changes its name to avoid responsibility for its deaths and cancers.
Well, watching my hives and inflammation dissolve every day until it all disappeared was definitely appeasing, I went with what I mentioned and after 20 days my urticaria/angioedema disappeared. I just go'ogled the latest by Shane Zormander and now my skin is as smooth and healthy as it has ever been!
This is so sad! People need to wake up. Maybe there need to be billboards put up everywhere...get people to thinking!
Urban sprawl is the biggest killer of our ecosystem. New housing developments first task is to strip off the topsoil and all the creatures saving our planet with it.
As a professional beekeeper that runs a Cowen Honey extracting line and moves hives all over to keep from having to Artificial feed. Im going to tell you like it is. The industry is GONE because of Honey being imported with disease, queen breeders out of California DILUTING genetics, the USDA not allowing Origin stocks of bees into the states anymore, Breeders pulling Queens 2 weeks TOO early from mating AND hobbyists that REFUSE to treat for Varroa mites, when they shoulda been doing it once every month during the warm season. and if you dont believe me. Welp., KMA. Monsanto is the least of anyone's worries, but they aren't a saint either. and Fungicide needs to be outlawed.
BINGO!!! On all counts. And you are quite right....the golden era of stuffing some bees in a box and letting them do their thing are......sadly.....gone. History. No more.
If you want to keep bees these days you need to be prepared for one of two things: Treatment free means intensive hive management in ways that 99.99999% of hobby beekeepers simply are not prepared to engage in.......or treat your bees.....which simply means treating them like any other selectively bred farm animal that actually does require human participation and support to maintain their health. (There's a third option but it usually involves watching a hive die a slow & unnecessary death.)
Important video. The US goverment has to do something very soon to prevent a total collapse of the Ecosystem.
Um they want it to happen. These aren't humans that run this world or at least ones with souls.
Not only America, this is an issue that plagues the entire world.
This shows the arrogance of mankind, we think we can make things better and make more money. But in the end the best way is always how God designed it.
Climate Change is not the issue. Bees do so much better in warmer weather, my bees in FL have a way better chance than bees up north. It is the mono-crop farming and their and Pesticides and Fungicides. My bees are completely wild caught/splits and no pesticides or mitacides in any of my Topbar hives (all my hives are topbars) They are insanely happy and healthy.
Earl Vaughn climate change would result is very cold weather as well.
@@BrandonTorres dont you mean global warming. Oh wait they changed it after they realized their bullshit was obvious not coming to fruition. Anthropogenic climate change is a farce told to you by your slave masters who think of you as less than human. Think for yourself and stop listening to known liars.
Max Amillion You think chemtrails are real? They are definitely dropping aerosols and countless other chems all over us, and wildlife. I agree global warming is a farce as well.
Climate change creates more dramatic changes and unpredictable weather. It means more tropical storms, colder winters, hotter summers. This is a very complicated problem with many symptoms. Climate change probably plays a part in the change in bee behavior, but it’s certainly not the only thing. The world is a very complicated place and when something is thrown out of balance, it can be detrimental to every living thing.
