Dr Samuel Ramsey - Varroa feed on Fat Body - lecture at the INIB honey show 2019 

Up and running 🏃 to help with the Bees to help

This is an absolutely wonderful presentation, not just regarding the biology of the varroa destructor mite, but the insight to Dr. Ramsey's inspiration and findings. He's inspired, inspiring, and very articulate. Thank you so much for sharing this. A RU-vid with only thumbs UP and no thumbs DOWN, is also inspiring :)

I'm so blown away! You're a rock star. I hope to see you live in November when you speak at the Texas Beekeepers Association. I'm so excited, I don't even care if you give the same lecture. It will be worth it.

I am in Australia and we currently have a Varroa Incursion that is having everything thrown at trying to eradicate it. Thus I have been trying to get some understanding about this insidious pest. This has by far been the most informative and interesting presentation i have watched. Well done Dr Ramsey for not settling for non proven facts.

What an amazing presentation! Having no general interest in bees, I could not help but be intrigued by Dr. Ramsey and his vast knowledge of the subject.

This is a brilliant presentation which breaks new ground on how Varroa feed from the host bee whilst phoretic... It blows apart a few assumptions we have been told over the years, such as Varroa feed on bee blood 🤯. I learnt so much about from it which makes sense of some what I have found in practice. Watch and learn. 🧑‍🏫

This amazing presentation, entertaining, engaging and articulate blows apart almost everything I've been told about varroa mites over the last 20 years of beekeeping. What an achievement, and what perseverance he demonstrates.

This was a great presentation, my mind was blown and it was very entertaining also. Congratulations!

Thank you Doc…excellent presentation. Hope for strength and wisdom for you to continue your research for the betterment of this field… Thank you sir…

My only question is who thought it rated a thumbs down and why? It was fascinating and so accessible to lay people like myself.

Fantastic lecture, thank you so much for sharing.

Love this presentation

Just heard Mr. Ramsey on ABC rural, while not a beekeeper myself I had parents do the Hunter intervention last year, this may help them a lot

Great presentation just shows how wrong we as beekeepers have been told about how varroa feeds excellent keep up the great work

Hasn't Thomas Seeley found wild hives all through the mite times?

This an amazing presentation. Thank you.

Has NPR ever considered this for their TED talks programme?

He made it entertaining, that is a great feat

Very Impressive.

Absolutely brilliant! A textbook example of how science should be done.

That's alot of info, lots to learn there. Mites suck

Excellent presentation. Thank you.

Instead of being shy, parasitized bees should roll over on their backs and display their mites!

Every behaver & beekeeper should view Dr. Samuel Ramsey's video lecture of discoveries.

Fantastic talk both of content and delivery. Such an engaging speaker.

What a fantastic lecture. I learned more about bees in an hour that all the hours I have spent reading. Dr. Samuel Ramsey, you so rock!

Fantastic presentation. Dr. Ramsey, your work is much appreciated (and needed) by beekeepers. We can't thank you enough. I'm looking forward to more of your research.

very good, well worth watching

Thanks for all the work you’re doing. Can you give more updates regarding TROPILAELAPS MITES, like you I believe that is the one that will have the largest impact on the beekeeping community and needs to be addressed now thanks

Great !

Amazing study brilliantly delivered.

Awesome - so interesting. Kudos - good on you, "DR" Ramsey!

Fascinating research project. Thank you very much Dr Ramsey. Do you know if bees are able to develop resistence to varroa?

Seriously, every beekeeper should know this.

I hope you have evidence for all of you said about varroa, saying something from what other people said is not science.

Fantastic presentation. Thank you very much for posting and sharing.
