I absolutely love this topic and you did a fantastic job with the presentation, excellent all the way around! Thumbs UP
Boy I learned a lot here! You clarified a number of things, straightened out some and opened new doors as well. It seems to me that most beekeepers focus totally on the queen - the mother of all in the hive - and there is little we can do to ensure what drones are available for our queens. Since we now know how critical it is to have diversity in our Queen's breeding - What can we do to improve that diversity, and, What can we do to ensure the quality of that diversity?
Thank u Mrs Delaney I learned a lot about why Genetics are Important to the Beekeepers!
That was great. Very helpful with getting a plan together for breeding. Thanks!
This talks are awesome, I wish we had people doing the same here in Portugal.
Excellent explanation of a complex subject -- well done! Thank you
Absolutely loved every second of it! Thank you very much for your time and knowledge. Thumbs Up and Subscribed!!
Wao it was really amazing lecture. I am interested to monitor colony genetic diversity through colony acoustics.
AWESOME STUFF! Sent to other beeks in my area.
Thanks, many good ideas.
Top thank you!
Nice education success for u
About the DNA human too,is the same...
So with this wonderful lecture, how do the bees know what type sex the bee will be? I notice drone will have larger cells which the queen will lay eggs in. Is she capable of deciding that?
Somehow, it is the maidens that tend to the brood that decide what kind of bee is needed. Some have duties to feed and care for the queen, some feed the brood, and some make comb and decide what the queen will lay. They make wax, choose the size of the comb, build and shape it. The queen follows or is guided seeking empty comb which she measures and drops in the egg that matches, small-worker, medium-drone, extra large-queen.
@@cashpluschulavistaca8429 ... Well said , spot on , most people always seem to think it’s the queen the makes the decisions, little do they know , I love the complexities of a bee colony , they always amaze me. 👍
How can I get in touch with this speaker and PhD? Can someone send me her email? I have some Amazing queens. I would like to check DNA of some of them. Amazing gentleness, Hygienic and produce like I’ve ever seen. Would love to have genetics looked at.
Fascinating video. In the mention of infertility because of inbreeding. How do you explain isolated closed colonies that some bee keepers have on remote islands hundreds of miles away from any other bees? They do not ever get shotgun brood? and the bees are healthy? Some colonies have been closed for over a hundred known years. There maybe many other pointer factors in shotgun brood. Some probably caused by the way they are kept. Insecticides damaging the Queens reproductive functions etc Much more research is needed.
Yes, genetics are important (for all spicies!) but bees have been succesfull for more than 50m years. Humans has been on Earth for only ca 250' years and treated bees in this unnatural style only for a little more than 100 years! (All the deceases that we know of has emerged during this extremely short period..)
Bees are in fact experts of adopting to local condition if left alone to manage their hive and of course without pesticides and diffrent hive treatments. Why do humans always think we know better than nature?
NO, what we are doing with bees the recent 100 years, is only making them weaker and more sensitive to mites and decises.
The reason behind this problem is really simple, human greed..
Remember that their pollination service is worth more than 10 times the value of the honey.
The bees are the true experts on breeding their best queen.
Stop fuzzing around with the bees, just let them buzz 🐝
I'm a beekeeper. What do you do? I'd like to tell you how to do it whatever it is.
How do they make more money as pollinators than honey producers?
pls madm convert hindi
Why Genetics IS Important to the beekeeper. Not ARE. IS, IS, IS! FFS.
Spot on.
I am not of the english speaking world, but are genetics not a word in permament pluralis? And therfore genetics ARE important...?
Gaming Narratives and Stories
My apologies - your ability to communicate in your non-native language is commendable. As I understand it, 'genetics' is the study of genes in the same (?) way that economics is the study of the economy (or economies). But we still say 'economics is bunkum' rather than 'economics are bunkum'. Hope that clarifies my insufferable pedantry! Good luck :)
My ability to comunicate in a non-native language is commendable. Thanks, and my apologies, if I stampled on youre lingustic toe. I really was here for some info surrounding the beeworld. Over and Out.
Fake news. "Are" is correct in this context.
absolutely fascinating but please for the love of god, dont talk with gum in your mouth.
