Aren't you getting stung???

Great insights Pat, keep them coming. Are you raising the rabbits for personal consumption? I hear they are one of the best forms of protein with very little environmental impact. Not long ago Paramus was mostly celery farms.

very informative. cheers Pedro Pascal

What's your website and info. 😊

Because of the economy, our entire society will have to change. More mothers will be forced to work, and as a result, more children will essentially be raised by the daycare and government schools. In addition to that, people have chosen not to learn basic self-sufficiency skills - the skills that kept our forefathers alive. As a society, we have become utterly dependent on those who grow our food and make our clothes. What would happen if our local supermarket stopped getting deliveries? What if walmart no longer gets shipments? Who would feed and clothe us? The correct answer is, of course, us! You are on the right track with the rabbits! If you ever want to learn how to mend your clothes, knit, make simple cheese or yogurt, and other self-sufficiency skills, let me know!

Building everything up here in NJ so sad I feel your pain.

The commentary is pure gold

Phone and cameras kill the bees -- the radio frequency is causing massive decline.

Hey Pat. just my thoughts - maybe beekeepers live longer because of unplugging? taking care of bees is a process that needs time - and being in the moment, unrushed, unplugged....shows us what life is really about. just my thoughts. the nice I got from you this year didn't survive....I didn't take bear into account:(. But I agree - there's something about just sitting there and watching them fly in and out and taking care of the hive.... side note - A while ago, I asked in comments about how the queen presents "inbreeding" (if that's the right word in this situation). since all bees are clones or mother queens, how does DNA get "refreshed"? Just curious...

Wait! Pat, did you throw your phone? LOL! As you know beekeeping has amazing mental health benefits and for me I'm definitely in the zone when I'm into the hives, making it really tough for me to switch camera angles and even remember to engage with my audience on what I'm doing at that moment.

Got two males, got them as babies, was hoping for a mix but no luck, lol. My advice - get only one male - I have to keep them separate because they will kill each other.

Good luck 👍

Before what?

Because i can't send any links, so only the titles of the papers and after that different sources: Dr. Gail MacInnis, The National Bee Diagnostic Centre, Alberta, Canada: Title: “Decline in wild bee species richness associated with honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) abundance in an urban ecosystem” Alfredo Valido and Pedro Jordano, researchers from the Spanish National Research Council: Title: “Honeybees disrupt the structure and functionality of plant-pollinator networks” By Cedric Alaux; Yves Le Conte; Axel Decourtye: Title: “Pitting Wild Bees Against Managed Honey Bees in Their Native Range, a Losing Strategy for the Conservation of Honey Bee Biodiversity” And then from articles or Interviews: PhD. Jim Cane - Research Entomologist "Honeybees dominate floral resources and suppress native bee numbers” "Honeybees also carry diseases that can infect natives, including deformed wing virus and the parasite Crithidia bombi. Researchers have found that native bees near apiaries can suffer a high incidence of such illnesses." Ph.D. Alison McAfee: "High densities of honey bee colonies increase competition between native pollinators for forage, putting even more pressure on the wild species that are already in decline. Honey bees are extreme generalist foragers and monopolize floral resources, thus leading to exploitative competition-that is, where one species uses up a resource, not leaving enough to go around." Krystle Hickman- scientist+photographer: "when honeybee hives are brought in to pollinate a farm, they crowd out those limited resources. They have about a two-mile range, if there are native areas around, they'll spread out to those areas as well, and they'll actually outcompete the native bees for resources."

That’s dope

Yeah sperms and kids lol😅

next up, calculus for pre-k

I really doubt that kids this young are gonna understand eusociality….

um- how old are they 💀

native animals have no relationships with the plant, it replaces the things they evolved to eat and shelter from

Knotweed plants?

Mow less, bee more. Let the wildflowers grow and bloom. You will have plenty of things blooming all during the season.

That milkweed will be choked out in five years or less, that stuff (knotweed) is SUPER invasive. The harm is from outcompeting native plants that native species co-evolved with.

Don’t get it twisted. Japanese knotweed is an aggressive invasive species that outcompetes native plants, has no natural predators here, and can force its way through the foundations of buildings. Digging, pulling, cutting, and grazing will only spread it because stem fragments will grow into a new plant. The only option is herbicide

Is the honey from that plant bad, other than that its from an invasive plant?

Is MFer planting honey suckles?

Sounds like a scam to devalue property assets.. land flagged with knotweed may have hidden strategic value.. soil excavated from Japanese knotweed removal isnt required by law to under go an archeological survey prior to extraction im guessing.. in uk all new construction sites must be examined by a qualified archeologist.. if you expect for some reason that your site may be of historical interest plant Japanese knottweed and narrative shaking discoveries can be avoided. Both laws came in about the same time.. want to go check for giant bones and spaceship parts wherever "Japanese" knottweed removal waste ends up?

A cousin in Scotland has told me that Japanese knotweed can be a huge problem there, and might even prevent you from getting a mortgage if the plant is found on the property. I was rather amused and pretty shocked that that would be the case, but they take it very seriously.

hey I like bees to they are cute I have chickens to 11 ❤

What are we looking at talk to uslrt us know what's going on

Lol silver standard. Buddy do you know how much space you would need and how there would be so little silver for industry. Stick to bee keeping.

Let Piper Speak!

lmaooo you might want to double-check your subtitles

smash

Do honey bees pollinate dandelion?

I just accidently deleted a comment instead of replaying to it. If that person sees this: Kickstarter in not like an IPO, more like preselling products.

Great explanation, Patrick. Just yesterday I found a colony with all 18 deeps, plus half the super completely honey bound and no eggs, with just 2 deeps with a little capped brood, and I never saw any peanuts during any inspection, plus there are so many bees there's no way they swarmed. Time will tell what's going on in that hive, but at the moment I'm doing my best to be practice patience.

Instead of rising more domesticated bees, that hurt Native bees that have a far greater impact. Maybe supporting Native bees would be an option.

Oh yeah! Selective bee breeding has always worked out really well for humanity 😂

Raising bees not fees right?

Weoh. Big numbers for honey.... As the old say goes, "you need to spend money to make money." No one ever said it has to be your money though. Go get it ol son

Good captures. Save the bees. Glad I was able to spot them for you and film for you 😊

Bro your hand😨

Are these European honey bees? Is it located in the US? If so, please stop😂😂😂you are literally fucking up the environment you say your helping

You're not "crazy" - you are very passionate about what you're doing - and bees. I've watched many videos about beekeeping and the vibe from them I got is "squeeze out the bees" - you're the only one who cares more about bees than profit - and that's commendable! You do need to make profit - have you thought about selling honey etc on Amazon, for example? And if I may suggest - edit the videos - there are some parts of the video that could be cut - to make it more concise and "watchable " - just a suggestion, not a critique - but sadly, in this day and she, "stream of consciousness" videos are not popular - everyone wants quick and fast info.... And my best wishes for you!!!!!

Once more question - if all the bees are offspring of the queen, how does nrw dma get introduced, especially on the wild? I know nrw queen good for mating flight but how foes she know that the drone is not related?

Swarming bees are not aggressive, but what is causing swarming? Is the new queen leaving with part of the hive or the ild one? Is the hive too crowded?

What an idiot!

Bees and oysters, interesting...

How many bees you need to be profitable if someone wanting to do this?
