- In the latest episode of "The Bush Bee Man", we join Markn as he faces several unforeseen challenges, ranging from unpredictable weather conditions to the serious issue of American Foulbrood (AFB) disease in his apiary.
This episode emphasizes the struggles and decisions beekeepers must make and highlights the importance of vigilance and responsibility in beekeeping practices.
We witness the impact of erratic weather patterns caused by a cyclone on planned beekeeping activities and delve into the crucial process of identifying and managing AFB, a devastating bacterial infection that affects honeybees.
Through trials and tribulations, including the challenging task of destroying infected colonies to prevent the spread of the disease, this episode provides an insightful look into the complexities of maintaining healthy bee colonies amidst environmental and biological threats.

I'm sorry for your losses. I appreciate you sharing with all of us and encouraging others. We love your videos and look forward to them.
Thanks for sharing and informing and stopping the spread.
A lesser man wouldn’t be open and honest.
Sorry for your loss.
Yes, Sad day. Here in WA, were worried more about the mites coming across. And yes. Think positive. You are helping to protect your fellow Beeks.
Sorry for your loss mate.
I am in Germany and you can still consider yourself lucky, where we would have to destroy all beehives in the apiary and there would be a quarantine area where all others apiarys would mandatory be tested.
Very sorry to see this mate. Thanks for showing us this. I can appreciate how hard this was for you. All the best
Great video Mark and John! Really appreciate you putting this up
Sure have missed ya on here. Keep up the good work and we'll be watching! Thanks alot!
Yeah I totally understand the needing the footage to know what you’ve done! Needed it many a time even if I’m just logging info or trying to remember so I’m prepared going back into a hive. I’m glad I record everything when I’m in the apiary!
A very sad day. But thank you. I enjoy your show (no bees) but think everyone needs to know about this sort of disease. Take care!
Sad news sorry to hear. Is there a way to test with no bees in the hive
I am so sorry 😢,
It's always a bad deal when it turns up, in many countries in Europe you call the department of agriculture, and they'll send an inspector out and they'll check all the hives in the apiary.
And there's a set way to Go through the whole system.
Exactly the same weather further round in South Africa, 34 on Sunday, 14 on Monday
Ya life really sucks. There are a lot of things we do not like doing in agriculture but we all know it is better to do what is right. I made a rule years ago to never purchase anyone’s used Bee equipment because I never know what they just may have had in there colonies. Not saying someone would do that I just will now take a chance because I do not want it an I have way to much money tied up in what I have an if I have to burn a complete yard I want it to be my problem. It has been a lot of years here in the USA that I have heard of anybody having it . ( knock on wood ) . My heart go out for you an your bees . Thanks for showing this video. Hope to see a lot more of your videos but not this kind . lol . THANKS
We just use about three tablespoons of powdered sugar and antibiotic powder tetracycline or Tylosin per colony across brood frames once a week for a drone brood cycle 24 days total. Been working fantastic and permanently just like other animals. No need to go primitive.
Is this a repost of the AFB a couple years ago? I swear I seen this vid mate
Yeah, it is and i don't understand why. They did say the channel was finished.
Why is he reposting this video? To scare people or something? He should tell them it's a repost.
In the US instead of euthanizing they are trying some towels dipped in a mixture of tea tree oil, eucy oil and I think peppermint, with good results, go have a look at some old posts from Bob Binny, it sounded really interesting, they seem to be having good success rates.
Camphor oil is the third ingredient 👌
@@vernakruckow6968Yes I had forgotten the exact ingredients, but it was the use of either or both that I was hinting at, My bees do tea tree early in the season so I shouldn't have any issues although I have one hive, that has gone weak that I am about to check today.
We use Tetracycline or Tylosin antibiotic mixed with powdered sugar once a week for 24 days to cover drone brood cycle. Always works just like with other animals and humans. You'll never get rid of all biological contamination because it's in old hollow tree hives, water holes, and drones are going to spread it during swarm season. Burning a hive is stupid and primitive. Antibiotics work to improve the immune system basically bleaching the brood white again. Yes herbal essential oil is an Antibiotic and so is a strong nectar flow. Even the UV rays of the sun. That video is a re-upload from a few years ago. I wonder why he isn't telling us it's not recent
I seen the other day that you have mites close to you . Those really suck
Here in America, when in doubt, torch it out. No permits required. At least where I live. Hope yours doesn't spread, buddy.
How do I get in-touch with you I think somthing is wrong with my hive iv taken my honey then in A few weeks weeks I went back to see if all was fine so the frames I put in the brood box there putting patchers all over it and putting honey into them please help
I am sorry
Climate change is a helluva drug
LMAO, typical farmer re the weather, always winging .... too hot ..... too cold....... too wet......too dry, lol. For Petes sake shut up and get to the bloody bees.. Just joking Ralph.
