- We’ve heard that bees are disappearing. But what is making bee colonies so vulnerable? Photographer Anand Varma raised bees in his backyard - in front of a camera - to get an up close view. This project, for National Geographic, gives a lyrical glimpse into a bee hive - and reveals one of the biggest threats to its health, a mite that preys on baby bees in the first 21 days of life. With his incredible footage, set to music from Magik*Magik Orchestra, Varma shows the problem ... and what’s being done to solve it. (This talk was part of a session at TED2015 guest-curated by Pop-Up Magazine: popupmagazine.com or @popupmag on Twitter.)

Great job. Having bees myself one of the main problems is people. Yep, good old fashioned efforts to try to help them really doesn’t. I use zero pesticides and other than taking honey and adding boxes I don’t bother them. They are on their own. They have to be strong to survive, and survive they do.
I am doing the same. Let the bees be bees,
Note to self for next presentation: Bring quartet.
I was expecting a bee choir next to the quartet.
Do Re Mi ZZZZZZ Fa Sol ZZZ MI MI ZZZ ...
Asian honey bees clean themselves from Varroa mites. They also kill giant hornets that may destroy a hive of European bees in a matter of an hour. I keep Asian bees in Thailand - about 10 colonies.
How would you rate their docility as compared to European Honey Bees?
That footage was bananas. Just plain amazing.

Looking at my fellow hobby beekeepers losing their hives each Winter because they do not treat for Varroa, I've concluded that my bees deserve to live. I treat them with the proper organic acids at appropriate times (not during honey flow) and they respond by being healthy and happy. Hoping Varroa is going away is not an option.
Thanks Herbert - you're someone who actually gets what's going on. I'm a beekeeper also and as you know, fighting mites is not easy. Hope your hives wintered well. :)
Great video, thanks for documenting this and raising awareness of the problems honey bees face.
Thanks for helping, we need to solve this problem in Turkey, how can solve this huge issue?
I rescued a bee once. He was curled up on my porch and looked dead, but buzzed a little when I tried to move him. I nursed him with a paper towel damp with sugar water. I squeezed little drops into his mouth, then took the day to recover and chilled on the bed of damp paper towel until he had enough energy to lick the towel. Then he flew away for home. Bees are dying from lack of water, as well as issues with pesticides and genetically engineered flowers. He was going to die just because he was dehydrated.
After my time with the bee, I started following the direction of putting a shallow water dish with marbles in it near my gardens. If the water is about halfway-three quarters up the sides of the marbles, the bees can land on the marbles and drink the water.
It's a great idea for the summer time. We are getting more and longer dry seasons, when bees are most active in the summer, so if you have a space during that period, leave a water bowl out with marbles or anything a small insect or bee can land on. Change it everyday to avoid mosquito larvae from hatching in the water.
It's also great to add a bird bath and a sugar water solution for hummingbirds. I don't have a garden where I currently live, but all of that is really helpful to all animals. Plus planting wild flowers, clover patches, and ground coverage will make your yard really entertaining.
I had butterflies, bees, humming birds, cardinals, bunnies, toads, squirrels, blue jays, a groundhog and when the pool was closed, a pair of ducks that came back every winter and spring. Making your outdoor areas friendly to native wildlife improves the health of the local creatures and you get to watch them too. Win/win.
Thank you Jade for leaving water out for the bees and pollinators. You are a good person. Beekeepers normally keep water out for their bees, so the ones you have are probably feral and need help as well.
Because of the varroa mites that the speaker described, feral honey bees have nearly been whipped out. There is a 100% mortality rate for an infected colony if they are not treated. The feral honey bees now are normally escaped bees from another beekeeper.
Thank you for your good actions.
The melody as the document was shown is amazing from the instruments. 2:52
To BEE or not to BEE, that is the question.

Just want to thank you for not blaming everything on pesticides, the mites are the biggest threat to our bees.
Nice presentation. Best greetings from beekeepers in Ukraine!
Thank you for interesting video. Best wishes to the entomologists and beekeepersand bumbel-bees and insect lovers!
One of the most troubling aspects of beekeeping today is NOT veroa mites. It is commercial beekeepers, like the one mentioned in the talk. If we really want to save the bees, there should be an understanding that 72,000 beekeepers managing a single hive is healthier than 1 beekeeper managing 72,000 hives.
Many beekeepers actually do manage the bees WITHOUT chemicals: by removing drone comb to name one. A method that has some success but which can not be done on the scale required by a commercial beekeeper. Michael Bush, preeminent beekeeper and author of The Practical Beekeeper is a proponent of natural beekeeping.
Thank you MGU - you're ne of the few people on here that actually knows what you're talking about. Take care...
Sounds like the start of a horror movie for mass killer bees
I w thinking the same thing
meddling with nature like that...
sounds like a sequel for bee movie
Such a smart and passionate human bee-ing... OK thats cheesy but he was great
Anyone else feel like the beginning of the presentation especially the photographs was really good, but the speech that came down after that wasn't presented in the same standard.
Jamie felt like he got a lil nervous..happens
My feelings exactly!
you think too much
Focusing on presentation rather than the overall message. So fucking typical. Bravo. Now go build a picked white fence why don't you.
I thought he was brilliant. I'm a beekeeper, he was exactly on point with all the stuff.
Love that this can be saved to a playlist. I homeschool and surprisingly enough most informational videos can NOT be saved to a homeschool playlist. It's sad really. They want people to view their video's and want to educate the world BUT don't let people save their videos. I think it's very narrasistic, but that's just my opinion I guess lol.
This video couldn't bee any better
IDontPostPorn Lol
IDontPostPorn i see what you did there
Zgembo121
Oh this is going to be a *buzz*.
loved it.. what an inspiration :) Anand Varma you rock :D Loved the idea of live music in the ted talk. Your film is a great way of educating people why is it so important to SAVE BEES. GREAT TED TALK. MADE MY DAY :)
We stan for the buzz vibes you are serving here 🐝🐝🐝
Like the presenter said, "our relationship with the bees must change" if we are to help them survive. Bees are very resilient creatures but brutality of humans towards these beautiful creatures know no bounds. I have seen on documentaries specially in the USA where some bee keepers treat them like pests with no regard to their safety or well being. These people out to be banned from keeping bees. And of course one of the main reasons for the colony collapse is the bombardment of Monsanto chemicals in crops and in our environment and not to mention chem-trails.
That 60 seconds video is amazing!
Turkey is a country with extremely diverse flora. Therefore, 12 different species of propolis have already been catalogued in the country. However, a special type of this variety stands out: Yesil propolis, produced in Kars province.
This biodiversity is also present in the diversified flowering honey offering, the most exotic of which are orange, coffee, angico and mint from traditional eucalyptus. Palm heart and açaí, delicious and nutrient-rich foods are cultivated and managed in a sustainable and organic way, protecting the environment.
The honey family is dedicated to promoting these treasures in the international market. The company, which launched Green Propolis exports to Japan in 1994, joins customers of the food, pharmaceutical and phototherapeutic segments in Japan, Taiwan, China, the United States, Canada and South Yesil.
Kars has established itself as a reliable reference in the supply of propolis and honey with rigorous quality controls that guarantee the freshness and purity of honey products. Each product is analyzed by sampling in laboratories where physicochemical and biological parameters are verified and measures the amounts of biological markers as needed.
Nutritious, offering high quality organic honey.
Our honey contains vitamins (B, B1, B2, B5, B6, etc.), Mineral salts (phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, iron, etc.) and is a natural and healthy alternative to industrialized, refined sugars and artificial sweeteners. The flowering plants of Brazil are famous worldwide and produce a variety of honey products.
From more traditional ones such as nectar from eucalyptus nectar or wildflowers to more exotic flowering plants such as coffee, flower nectar, orange blossom nectar, mint nectar, angico nectar (on request).
We work with carefully selected beekeepers and partners who observe strict national and international quality standards. Organic Honey
Produced in areas of vegetation free of contaminating agents, duly certified by internationally recognized certifying companies. Honey free of pesticides and produced in harmony with the environment.

Large scale commercial production, weather it be monocultures of corn or bees 4:38 typically creates large problems due to oversimplification of the operation. In my opinion, it is not the crops or animals which need to be changed but our methods.
It would be cool if they genetically modified drone bees to guard the hive from mites, so that they have another purpose other than reproduction and the workers could keep pollinating flowers.
I don’t know if that’s possible but I think it would be cool
OK, let me get this straight...You had a problem with mites, so in a controlled environment you bred mite resistant bees. It turned out that these mutant bees were both aggressive and lazy, so you introduced them into the largest working bee population in the world. Brilliant!
Joe Harte They never set the bees free. It was all in a lab.
Plus they're no more mutated than you are, they're bred just like cattle.
The speaker specifically states that they were interbred with the largest working population of bees in the world. Also, the entire point of a directed breeding program is to favour certain mutations, so the word mutant is entirely appropriate both for the bees and your cattle, though perhaps not for myself, as I see no evidence that my forebears were selecting partners for any particularly useful traits.
Joe Harte
You, me, and everyone else are just mutated sea worms anyways. And they probably took bees from a sample population and then tried to manipulate them.
Anand Varma, ele é incrível!
We need more beekeepers that don't sell the honey or use it, more gardens and more focus on organic farming. We don't need lab made bees.
Look at the neem tree ...
NEEM is harmless to bees, but yucky to mites!
This video was uploaded on David Wolfe's facebook page on may 20, 2015. I believe this video has been freebooted onto Facebook with no credit given.
Fabulous! The mite is so dangerous! So Amazing and let's hope that the mite and pesticides can be controlled!
This guy is right. Without bees, we will not have crops, nothing.
Just INCREDIBLE...Thank you ..
Really interesting. Don't think I've seen anything like this before.
Fantastic footage!
Everything was going fine until he said USDA. You think Monsato won't put his face in this? Smh
Yea, this was propaganda so they can control bees next.
It was nice to see baby bees......
Maan that is Beeutiful
Wow. This is a problem that seriously effects most people on earth holy bajeebuz.
Thanks 👏🏻
Keep up the good work. You are a member of Krishna's Jadu tribe, who were blessed by Lord Vishnu, enabling them to keep up the good work (Karma) like you, helping them to prosper and multiply, to 38 million (according to Vishnu Purana), and spread all over India. Today 80% Indians carry Jadu blood.
“Makes it sound like we are manipulating and exploiting bees” - yes we are!! Doing it for 1000s of years doesn’t justify it! Leave the bees alone!!
Encore! Beautiful
Try to use Tee Tree Oil and/or Winter Green to fight Varroa Mites
That was bee-utiful.
Consider keeping bees in logs and leave them alone for 12 months. Don't open the hive. Just let them forage.
Subhan Allah

Honey bees aren’t native to the Americas. The biggest threat to native bees? Honeybees. Honeybees are needed for commercial operations. Large apple orchards, orange groves, etc… I’ve been a beekeeper for 30 years.
That's it? Seems like only half the story.
What a great segment!
Why don't the bees just evolve to resist the mites through natural selection?
George Cataloni _"Why don't the bees just evolve to resist the mites through natural selection?"_
That'd be fine, if you were willing to wait orders of magnitude longer than a human lifespan and only cared about their resistance to mites.
We need quick results, and we also want to select for traits that wouldn't necessarily benefit bees in the wild, such as them being docile an producing a surplus of honey.
Besides, these honeybees are already the product of artificial selection.
George Cataloni they eventually would but many colonies would die before a resistant colony emerges... and like the guy said we need bees to pollinate our crops and thus lies the problem.
George Cataloni How about Unnatural Selection? :P
George Cataloni He said it himself "we put these creatures in a box, basically domesticating them" The word "Natural" doesn't mean anything to a species that has been conditioned to suit our needs.
***** I'm with you on that, I just mean that the nature of bees before agriculture is no longer a factor.
2:58 People were like "GD that violin tho.."
Let's treat the cause of bee declines--our mass-production, unsustainable food system and over-reliance on pesticides. Varroa mites are merely a symptom of the real problem: suppressed bee immunity due to human actions.
THE BEEEESSS NOT THE BEEES!
One of the more useful TED talks instead of some useless feminist or SJW gibberish.
Beautiful!
great work...

It is Pchella*(Пчела) not a bee! ;)
I like the experiment and the video is real cool, but BUT!
Let me get this straight...mixing up mite resistant bees that do not keep honey with regular bees that keep honey in order to come out one that resist mites but keep honey.
So...if all bees lose the ability to keep honey? Last large bee experiment was the killer bees release in Brazil...that worked out well.....
Wow 🤩🤩
It's so sad how he had to insert the caveat that "oh it seems like we're manipulating bees" for the idiotic anti-GMO/Monsanto crowd.
Saving bees = saving the same bee that is causing the mass extinction of others. Really? Are you understanding anything?
What happens if you do not take the honey away from bees? What do they do with honey? If they eat them, then are we starving bees to death?
Qi Nuo Bees produce more honey then they can eat. That said, some keepers take more honey than the bees can spare and the keepers replace the honey with corn syrup. It has recently been found that corn syrup is not a good honey substitute for the bees and this may be part of what is causing the die-off.
Qi Nuo They do eat it. We give them a sugar solution to compensate.
Precisely!
good
Beautiful.
Still hate bees though.
Awesome !
That was awesome!
awe, how woderful
"The sorcerer's apprentice"
I thought he was going to bee-come doctor bees and unleash a swarm of bees on the audience
Very cool. Follow my journey as a new bee keeper in suburban Melbourne.
Ignorance is not bliss! Varroa is not the problem. Bees can handle varroa just fine if, in a nutshell, we breed them naturally, stop treating them with meds and chemicals, put an end to the use of neonicotinoids and (very, very important!) regress them to use what they naturally would use (before mongrelization by human manipulation): small cells. Anyone interested in this problem should look into the work of beekeeper Dee Lusby and her (now deceased) husband.
Skip to 1:56 you can thank me later!
He said that it is okay for us to exploit bees just because we have been doing it for thousands of years. Thumbs down to this video, it is obvious that breeding them is not helping these bees at all.
The bee genetics have been around for thousands of years, with only very few traits that have been emphasized. It's the new challenges that they are facing that is the problem.
Manipulating nature thats what we like to have a feel of control and power... Lets see what our attempt to outsmart something bigger than we r will do in the long run. We have domesticated animals to our liking in a manner which was considered fine for hundreds of years but now we want to go even deeper and closer to outsmart life itself. All I know is that what people design is not the same what was designed by the creator, god, evolution or whatever u call it. Just looking on what kind of people r breed in the cities, which can be considered as twisted as a infested bee hive in a sense, so much disconnected from what real essence of life is only shows how far from inner selves we r and too much superior and godlike we think we r while the truth is completely opposite.
Why do they have to BEE like that?
Nature loves diversity. Because we have mainly used European and African bees for honey production this has created an imbalance that nature is now reacting to.
Please update your material. Varroa feed on "fat bodies" not blood.
That was found only recently. You are correct though...
It could be the bees domesticating us...
Tobla Howell du du dummm!!!!
SubhanAllah. All of this is described in detail in the Holy QURAN over 1400 years ago!
Allahu Akbar
Good info and video.
But instead of GMO bees, why don't we study on how to kill the mites??
Joe Bucci they already know how to kill the mites but i think what he was saying is that it has adverse effects on the bee's also.
I
Cool!
Save the mites!
Tisk tisk tisk. Don't mess with nature.
Bees help with back pain. (random fact)
Stressors of bees ? dont you mean pesticides ? why wouldn't you say it ?
It annoys me that this guy, and other environmentlaists say "Bad News" CONSTANTLY without actually explaining the EVIDENCE they found that the "Chemicals" used to protect the bees from mites are "Dangerous" in "The long term".
It makes anyone who questions their claims to be HIGHLY SKEPTICAL.
It's great they time-lapsed the video. I think it's good to create alternative methods to solving problems.
But YOU NEED TO BACK UP EXTRAORDINARY CLAIMS WITH EXTRAORDINARY EVIDENCE.
Chemicals: pesticide
That's what they are talking about. And yes it is bad god dangit. It's common sense. The chemicals are bad for bees. But you can say these are lies and that there's no proof, i'm just a kid, you don't have to believe sh**. But just look it up if you want proof, jeez. (Sorry i'm having a bad day)
It's... DOCTOR BEES!!!!
cool stuff:)
does genetically modified organism have nothing to do with the demise of bees?
Special emphasis on "thrilling."
Instead of “TED” it is “TEDDY” 😂 😂 😂
Dude this guy got high before his presentation XD
