One of the more magical beekeeper setting. Great job of the filming, story telling. Highly recommend this. Beautiful. I've worked a bit with the Caucasian bees. Similar to the Carniolans. A bit longer tongue. 7.3mm compared to 6.6-7mm. The Carnis overwinter better and I think can fly in lower lighting. I'm surprised there was no mention of the Laz people's use of propolis. Honey fed bear steaks? Sign me up!
The most wonderful story, including camerawork and narration, that I have ever enjoyed on the Internet; I was transported to heaven! Somewhat unironically, I have long dreamed of visiting and maybe even living in Trabzon, which I believe is not very far from this beautiful place.With luck, I might meet Mustafa and the incredible beekeepers of Eastern Anatolia.
@@user-mg2ip8cr8z That doesn't sound surprising! The central location on a crucial waterway means the Anatolian Peninsula gets every empire in history drooling. You can bet Putin has his eyes on expanding south wherever he can!
As humans we are truly cut from the same cloth, in South Africa most black people believe bees are angles/ancestors that protect us. its interesting to learn that the Lazes of Turkey believe the same.
Might have to get creative with the solar panel placement but it looked like they were getting enough light through at a couple of the sites they showed. In the footage of the bear it looked like there was an electric fence, but it clearly wasn't deterring that particular bear.
Rhododendrons are so many and so different. In one species, leaves and nectar can be poisonous, while in other species, they can be rather healthy. Pyrenees: R. ferrugineum honey produced exclusively at altitude.
: No disrespect to the beekeeper.🙏 2:50 - The use of smoke will obviously make the bees go calm, hence they wont sting anyone, if disturbed. 3:15 - I'm sorry but it looked like that bee, stung his head. see the bump on that part. 21:00 - " Sue the bear "? - Did he mean hurt it? This is encouraged by everyone in the room... 23:00 - The honey must be harvested, only if the honey filled combs are sealed right? I love the content overall. Its encouraging, to continue beekeeping. 🙌
Hilarious. Clever editing. Really dislike romanticizing beekeeping. Opening scene the guy talks to his bees saying they'll never sting him. He then proceeded to pick up a few bees by hand and they flew right into his forehead. Next scene, you can see on the forehead where they stung him. Lol
As a beekeeper i can say my hives are very docile and gentle i can pick them up just as he did without any stings a honey bee does not want to sting you because if they do they die
Please Please I BEG Of YOU - DO AS MANY MORE EPISODES AS YOU DEEM FIT TO FEATURE MUSTAFA IN PARTICULAR AND ALL OTHER IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF TURKEY 'S HONEY 🍯 🐝 🐝 🐝 🍯 COTTAGE INDUSTRY & NOTIFY ME ASAP 🙏 MANY THANKS 🙏
