Seavey - As I Saw It in 2024 (short film)
In 1979, William and Mary Seavey purchased the historic estate originally founded by the Franco-Swiss Farming Company in 1881. One century after the first vines were planted, Seavey Vineyard was established. Once again, the land would be groomed to grow world-class wines, not to satisfy modern trends, but to honour age-old winemaking traditions, following classic Bordeaux methods.
“Seavey is one of the great, unheralded, under-the-radar terroirs in all of Napa Valley…Bill and Mary were visionaries with regard to what could be achieved on these dry-farmed hillside vineyards tucked away in Conn Valley, east of the Meadowood Resort.” - Robert Parker, Jr.
Jim Duane has been Seavey’s winemaker since 2011. Now with fourteen years of legendary Seavey wines to his credit, Jim has proven himself an elite winemaker whose artistry and skill continue to reach new heights with every vintage. About Seavey, Jim says: “I delight in the rugged terraces and steep vineyards here, which provide constant opportunities to refine our cultivation methods, and in our small team’s relentless pursuit of crafting unmistakable, world-class wines.” Jim also produces the Inside Winemaking Podcast.

The film was shot in 24 hours during my stay at Seavey vineyard in May 2024.

Nice to meet you yesterday Gavin - beekeepers are terrific
I see beehives on the background. Being a beekeeper myself I wonder if tabaco plant produce any pollen/ fourage fot the bees? Have you noticed any bee activity around the plants?
Great video! ❤❤❤
So drones inharite DNA from the queen only, correct?
Good to see. Hilarious to watch people on a windy, remote Scottish islands wearing useless masks!
2024 and still wearing the useless mask.
Really informative. 31.02 is nice way of education
Very informative indeed❤
Good job👍 Thank you🙏
Nice one Gavin.
Well done! We have just released a similar video about the Maltese Honey Bee. Later this year, we will release a version in English! ua-cam.com/video/PYmKpkSzJTQ/v-deo.html
👍
Excellent video. Great production, well structured and informative content!
I'm a beekeeper from America. Sounds heroically awesome what you're doing. Maybe try working with hobbyists in the different parts of Scotland, make it easier for them to get climate adapted blackbee queens than the imports. Winter is my enemy over here, and a lot of work goes into making sure the girls are alive in the spring. Cold weather adapted bees are so worth the effort. Good luck!!!!
Beautiful job!
Thank you for this presentation. I learned some vital information.
Thank you for creating this film. It was a pleasure to watch such a well produced piece on an important matter. I keep AMM in North Wales. We went up to visit Andrew in June 2022 which was an amazing experience. Our local bee keepers association is also strongly committed to breeding native bees.
It's really great to see such an interesting video, which states all the issues around the black bee. Well done!
The immigration policies for bees are stricter than people.
The economic interests is all that matters to government it's the same with wild Atlantic salmon decline economics favour the highly polluted salmon farms here in west of Scotland mainly
Great video, I’m new to bee keeping and I’m very keen to keep only Black Bees
If every bee keeper was to raise just two queens a year. Nice one Andrew!
First video I've seen from this channel, incredibly well made and very informative. Was very surprised when I checked your other videos and the trailer for this was released nearly a year ago. Judging by all the masks much of the filming is from even several years ago. Awesome dedication to keep working on something like this for such a long time
Took me almost three years this one. Glad you liked it✋🏻
@@gappo1301 I thoroughly enjoyed it, very well made. As an American all I knew was that the honey bee is actually invasive to the North American continent. I had no idea that the black bee even existed, or even any of the other types of bees, I've only ever known of "European" honey bees or "Africanized" bees. Super informative, and very well done. For what it's worth I think the effort to save at least some pockets of original species is well worth the effort. Can't wait to see more content, cheers
Wonderful video - thank you
Well worth the wait from when the trailer was teased.
🥰🥰🥰😍
What a lovely 41 minutes. Thank you, from a beekeeper.
He’s so hot what’s his ig?
wow great video may I ask what mic did you use for the interviews
Just how I felt back in 2003! Very brave to admit you were prepared to die. So was I but couldn’t tell my wife and kids that!! Well rowed.
Great Episode post SAS Who Who Dares Wins. Just goes to show ..she's still getting after it!

Lovely portrail of a very talented artist. I loved the bit where the self portrait morphed into the real Gerry.

Gerry, you are indeed an artist, and a very talented one too. Great little film. Nick

Думаю с русской озвучкой твой канал выстрелит в СНГ) я понимаю, это все для души, но все же стоит попробовать увеличить стриминги)
Спасибо большое. Все это не только для души - много планов и проектов впереди, включая, Бог даст, Осетию. Ну а следующий фильм в любом случае будет с русскими субтитрами.
Absolutely true philosophy that he has, and his inner strength is beautiful and strong as well. I wish him well through life and thank you for another inspirational video.
Thank you for watching. You’ve put it all very accurately - that inner strength is remarkable and his philosophy is from good, and he is just a decent guy all round.
Inspirational 👍
Love this film. I started beekeeping last summer and am obsessed. I have challenges myself as I’m in a wheelchair but have managed to learn ways to look after my ladies. Great work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
منظر جميل شكراً
عمل موفق أخي الكريم
I was disappointed to hear that there are actually bee thieves in Scotland. That should be an automatic 10 year prison sentence given the amount of effort and expense that beekeepers expend to care for these critically important insects. Human beings are a really disappointing species at times.
