"The most destructive HONEY BEE disease" is a video about American Foulbrood and a new tool available to beekeepers to fight this devastating disease. The first-ever honey bee vaccine is coming to the market and I am proud to be part of this historical moment.

Well done Humberto. I learned a lot watching this video. The idea of vaccines for honeybees is fascinating!
Glad you enjoyed it! I am very hopeful about the potential of this technology.
Another great video Humberto 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Well done Sir for this new info hopefully this vaccine will end the sufferings of bees and beekeepers from AFB, and I hope they come up with vaccines for chalkbrood too and other viral diseases...
Great information
AFB is something I've had personal experience with here in Melbourne Australia.
This vaccine is something I want to learn about. Thankyou. 🐝
Glad to know that Ken. Let me know how can I help.
@@InsideTheHiveTV How do we make this vaccine here in Australia? Can it be exported from the USA? Please advise.
Great video
Thanks!
How well does the immunity transfer to subsequent generations of queens (queen cells)
We don't know yet if queens generated form vaccinated hives will continue to transfer immunity. My guess is that this is unlikely. The queen need to accumulate the bacterial material into her fat bodies to transfer to the next generation of bees. I don't think that is enough material in the egg for many generations. Only time will tell. Thanks for stopping by.
I saw few bees with varroa mites today,what do I do?
There aren't many mites,but I am concerned!
If you see it. It might mean you have a bigger problem. Do you treat your bees?
@@InsideTheHiveTV no,I don't
Give me some tips,please!
I am worried
@@Achilles2929 check in with your local bee club if you can
My Grandfather was a Beekeeper back in the 1950’s and 1960’s. He had 1 case of AFB and ended up burning the Hive to rid his Apiary of it. In my area, I’ve been visited by the County Inspector once in 6 years, so the program in my area is lacking.
Have you seen cases around you?
👍👍👍
Interesting
I have reposted link on several Facebook sites in Los Angeles area.
Thank you
È possibile avere queste informazioni in Italiano .Grazie
Ho aggiornato i sottotitoli del video. Per favore dai un'occhiata.
@@InsideTheHiveTV Oki lo faccio poi ti dico
There is always a remenant of colonies who don't circum to this disease ,i know this ,because here in western Australia we have very many feral colonies within easy flying distance who are able to rob dying colonies yet we don't see disappearance of bees anywhere, we also don't see any inspectors ,(possibly they have been wiped out instead) I have burned 1% of my colonies for the last 2 years, but have one strong hive who's symptoms vanished over ayear ago in quaorantine .despite a period of dearth last winter it is still very strong. i spin it out last, separately .i believe the honey spinner is the main mechanism of spreading the spores,that and basic neglect, not doing immediate brood checks on week hives thus allowing them to die and get robbed out.
I also number every frame with its hive number taking care not to mix equipment.
And record the numbers in a book so in case of an outbreak I can go back and see where contamination may have occurred . The inoculant holds hope i may not need this extra work in my day. hope there are no unwanted effects .I read that AFB has variants are thes accounted for?
How bad is the American Foulbrood situation in your opinion?
Vaccine you say 🤔more tools can be a good thing. I'd want to see long-term results personally, when ya start messing with Nature to much, Nature starts messing back, just my opinion. Question though as I'm still new, Isn't AFB well managed now? Most keepers haven't ever even seen it in person. Ty for your time and information, Blessed Days...
That is an important question. Yes we have system in place to help beekeepers against AFB. There is a lot to talk about it and i will cover details in other videos in the future when the vaccine gets its final approval from the USDA. A matter of days now. Stay tuned sr. The technology is very promising that it what I can tell right now. Cheers.
@@InsideTheHiveTV USDA approval in a matter of days, how long has this testing been going on for? Hope they tested it better then others...
@@dcsblessedbees My understanding is that it has been at least 3 years now. More info will be available in the next weeks. Stay tuned.

I like that it's a classic vaccination approach but wish these companies would allow for open peer review of the raw data. There has been a lot of clowning around with data and definitions introducing artifacts these past few years that confidence in published results are low, especially among data geeks. The citizen science portion to keep the money and marketing folks at these companies in check. Don't get me wrong, I think this is great and really hoping this is the real deal, but a good portion of the data science has been pushing this for all pharma to help keep things above board.
I have no problem with that.
What data would you like to see?
@@InsideTheHiveTV Public read only access to the data base so folks can run their favorite tools. I'm an R guy myself. As for what I'm looking for data wise in the numbers, to be honest, I haven't thought that far ahead. It's like when you're younger and always complaining you want to use the car. Then one day you get handed the keys and left wondering "Where do I want to go? Though individual site data usually yields some interesting insight on variances in procedure.
This begs the question, would infected treated colonies produce drones and queens that carry the immunity. If the immunity is developed by the bees feeding dead fb to the queen, this would surely happen in that case. Personally, we have not seen fb in over a decade and would like to keep it that way.
There are lots of questions we don't know about it just yet. The process occurs naturally and it is part of the natural social immune system of honey bees. SO, Yes, infected colonies will generate immunity for the next generation if they don't die from the infection.
You quickly glossed over the whole Hygeinic testing efficacy. If your on the payroll of small B Pharma I can understand why thats the case.
All I can say is that I can pretty surely put all my $ on the line that the efficacy in eliminating FB with this can be no bettter than we have achieved with Hygenic testing. Been at it 15 years or so. The last few years weve beem at it very hard. Over 250 tests a year. This year it was 319 of them.
The bottom line is we have not seen one cell of AFB in 8 years. Not one. Neither have we had to burn equipment or dose with TM.
When I see vidoes of people dumping In TM / powdered sugar I practically gasp. Why? There is no need. Find and use the right queen mother stock for yoir breeders. That simple.
At this point after the 2022 testing we had over 150 potential breeders that fell in the 90% clean out rate and above. All the ones we used this year were 99% plus.
Sans one at 96% which was a Caucasian with a near perfect brood pattern that is. ( we debated furiously if we should use it btw)
Yes your method ( dalan) may be cheaper but with ours I know its not going to fail like the damned cheap covid vaccines are quite obviously doing.
You think I'm wrong. Toss a good arguement out as to why. I'm listening.
Never claimed it wasnt. Mind debating / discussing my point?
What I can do is discuss the pros and cons and let you decide yourself. Beekeeping can be very different in different locations.
What I can say here is that all that energy spend to hygienic behavior to eliminate contaminated brood could be used to produce more honey and bees if the bees are already protected against these diseases.
If you are really interested to talk about this please send me an email with your contact info so I can call you. Too much to write. contact@insidethehive.tv. Cheers
@@InsideTheHiveTV great response. You are correct about the energy involved. Its practically insane. This year we spent close to 42 man days between checking, testing, rechecking, and data collection. Aggregating it all and sorting through took a few more days. Yes thats insane.
That would be so until you take into account how sweet our breeders have become. For sure deciding to invest in this process has been beyond worth the effort. Id spend twice the time.
One question I do have is how long the effectiveness of the vaccines have been shown to be? Are they degredated by time and or temps. The bee business is a tough row to hoe. I'm not agianst possibly using it ( vax) but will never put my full faith into it until multiple year trials have been completed in our own settings. Look for an email. Might be a bit but I'm interested. Especially in reading the papers on it.
@@wishicouldspel any chance to talk over the phone? A lot of info to write. More videos coming in the near future.
@@InsideTheHiveTV yes Sir. Will email you a phone number and work out time that works for both of us to discuss this.
