So far the best presentation about the differences between brood diseases. I always have flash light, magnifier, and red head light. Thank you Emma, Simon, Michigan
You have so many excellent pictures for examples. This is the best, informative bee brood disease video ever. Please, do a follow-up video for treatment and options.
Excellent video, very clear and informative. I love the recap at the end with the side-to-side photos to organize the memories of so much information. Any reason you didn't mention the treatment of each disease, as you explained them? Thank you again.
Very informative, Thank you for describing these symptoms so well. Any chance of a video on treating the different problems? As a 1st year beekeeper your knowledge is very helpful and appreciated.
Thank you! That was an absolutely outstanding teaching video, the best I’ve seen on bee diseases. In future, I will look with much more educated eyes at my brood frames when I perform an inspection. I will forward the link to your video to my beekeeper friends. 😊
Howdy, I noticed a super nifty belt you were wearing in your walk away splits video. Looked like it had a powerful magnet your hive tool just stuck to... I'd love to know about that belt!
Thank you for going into detail and bringing more attention to these ailments which are CRITICAL to understand. Folk's here on RU-vid seem to heavily emphasis only on varroa mites, which is good in the way that within my 3rd year I was getting 0 mites in my alcohol washes consistently. However on the contrary when my apiary contracted a foul brood disease I was totally blind sided and was not equipped with the proper information to act. And the real kicker was when the FDA or whomever with all their wisdom disqualified regular people from buying Terramycin antibiotics.
Flashlight!? One of the best tips. now going into my kit. As a Minnesota beekeeper, we would love to see your take on Spring, Fall diarrhea and Nosema. Ian Steppler seems to have rid 1,800 hives of Nosema possibly by a proprietary Pollen mix (Andrew Munn?). He has not explained yet. Hence my question, can diet affect gut health towards prevent these 2 problems. Thymol? Thank you.
A slightly biased comment, I admit, but I really dislike "macho men" (90% American) in vests showing how brave they are tending to their bees regardless of stings, no matter how informative they may be! Dyce Lab, and Emma Walters, are a fantastic resource for all serious beekeepers in the cooler areas of the world (northern USA, Europe, southern Aus, NZ etc). I wish I could give 1000 'Likes' - I shall share a link instead
@@darrellhamner4608 I love the vast majority of Americans. I have no idea why some American beekeepers, almost exclusively, don't wear protection - suits, veils, gloves etc. Perhaps you could be more positive and tell me that honey bees in America don't sting/don't hurt, beekeepers have a natural immunity to pain? Look at beekeeping in Europe, Africa, Asia etc - everyone wears protection or admits to great pain...
@@Neilhuny There are few, and I mean just a few, RU-vidrs (and I think you are basing your opinion on what you see on YTube) that don't wear protection at some time. If they work with defensive bees out comes the veil. Some old timers, many who no longer put out videos, seemed to be the worst offenders and I think some of it was due to becoming tolerant of stings and some of it was as a way to attract viewers. I know of only two major YTubers who I've never seen wear protection and based on other signals one gives it may very well be a macho, show-off thing. I got bees for my grandchildren and they are so gentle that protection is usually not necessary, so yeah, some bee breeds sold in US are gentle. Many southern beekeepers wear minimal protection due to heat and humidity. I personally know no beekeepers who don't wear protection but I live in Africanized bee country. How many American beekeepers do you know? Regarding "macho men" you may find Texas Beeworks videos interesting. I've seen videos of Eastern European and South East Asian beekeepers work bees unprotected albeit they were doing "traditional" beekeeping. I agree with your assessment of Dyce Lab and Emma Walters BTW.
