I've seen so many bee videos on yt, but this one is not only visually far better than most, but also provides information I've never heard anywhere else! Awesome job!
I am from Bee Spinach India, I liked your video very much, I want to get more and more information about bees from you, please send your WhatsApp number, please
Iv always known about the bee dance as a way of communicating but never considered what is actually required of the bee/s. Who first taught the bees to communicate in this way? How did the first bees learn to communicate in order to cooperate if they had no form of communication to begin with. How does a bee live long enough to: educate itself, learn to be attentive, develop a memory, make good decisions and all straight from the “crib”!? Otherwise the females could just ignore each other to death. The only plausible explanation is they were given or “programmed” with all the necessary abilities from the very beginning. Thanks to God for the bees.
I don't if its just me, but aren't bees just so CUTE? They have the most adorable huge eyes, are super fuzzy, and are the chubbiest insect I've ever seen. That equals cute in my book.
Pepper McGillicuddy I know! I bought a plushie of a bee a few days ago, spent 3 hours on adopt me trying to get a fly ride bee, spent my weeks in quarantine reading up on bees and watching videos of them after my homework is out of the way :)
When I was a child we stayed at a vacation home of a friend of my father's that had a HUGE beehive on the outside of the large picture window in the livingroom. It had been there for years and was about 5 feet high and 2,5 to 3 feet across. My mother kept trying to get me to go outside and play with my brothers, but that hive was fascinating! I loved watching the Queen move around (once I found her) and from books there learned most of my life's knowledge about bees from watching & reading while there. I begged for a beehive but as 1 of my brothers is allergic to bees, it was a fast No!Our local conservation center has a glass hive that the bees enter and exit through a plastic pipe. I would bring my children there when younger but I enjoyed them more than they did. They are fascinating to me. Never wish to be a baby bee with a cold or allergy, your aunts will kill you instead of cuddles and chicken soup! lol
We set up an ob hive for grandson. Left it setup for just two days. The bees moved everything in the few frames we gave them . They'd clear space to lay and herd the queen to the empty cells.
Frederick, may the creator of the universe pour out blessings upon you for making this knowledge available!!!!! Rarely is this old man impressed and thrilled, but this did.
Ever since I read the Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd I really got interested in bees and now have this huge adoration for bees and what they do. So many types of jobs in the hive it's so fascinating! And I actually feel sorry for the queen as her only job is to lay eggs. It's sad to see bees dying in this day and age, they're so precious.
Im a new Bee Keeper Frederick, in my first year! This is one of the best educational pieces I've come across on the web. Thank you so much for your time and effort. insights into "the Hive" and "BEEhaviour" is priceless. An old Bee Keeper who's no longer with us once told me "Know your Hive and you'll get to know your bees".
Amazing footages!! I knew that bees were highly social animals, but I didn’t know that their social structure was this complex. I learned so many things from just this video alone, including how they ferment the pollen with yeast. No wonder they call them bee bread! Thank you so much for this incredible video!
Awesome! I’ve watched a lot of UA-cam’s on beekeeping. Never seen a queen laying or bees working with pollen. I can’t help looking at a hive and seeing God’s handiwork!
Can we appreciate how this guy takes the time to read the comment section, like every comment he comes across, and reply to them? That takes some dedication. You are the man!
Whats amazing is you can read what the hives doing out in about in the field with all the distraction of the hive. I know this one is an observation hive. But your reading the hives like this in the field too. Its crazy you can look at it out there and determine all thats going on. Its impressive and interesting.
As a young child, I use to have a great fear of bees, Obviously after being stung. Since viewing many videos from people like you, I've learned to not fear them much, That said, I do have a great respect for them and the things they do for humanity. Thanks for teaching us to be better, and helping us to understand.
After reading ‘the history of bees’ by Maya Lunde I felt the urge to understand more and this video, Fredrick, is extremely self explanatory and makes me feel to star a beehive, to learn how to live better our lives in full respect of the other’s rights and duties. Thanks.
Found this video whilst reading Laline Paull's novel "The Bees" and I thought half of what she described was fiction, but seeing the pouches on the forager bees and the waggle dance was fascinating! Really helpful video.
Oh my jeepers 4:48 gave me a damn heart attack 😂😂 my 6 yrold daughter is outback swimming with my husband and i heard that rooster in my headphones and thought it was her screaming lol scared me to death.

I'm new to bee keeping, this being my first year. I sincerely appreciate the time and effort that people take from their own busy lives to produce footage like this. I've learned so much from watching this. Maybe I'd have purchased an observation hive and ran that for a clue of year prior to beginning bee keeping. I look forward to more footage.
I found this enthralling. As a non bee keeper it is totally fascinating and I just love these lovely little creatures. I see that women are doing the majority of the work!! A bee video a day keeps the doctor away. TFS
I have learned everything I know about chickens from your chanel for 6 or so years. Now. I'm on my bee journey..wish you would have bee keeping workshops. 🙏🏼
Thank you so much, Leslie! I do mentor around 10 new beekeepers a year. :) The rest we have to work around weather and long term planning is very difficult.
As a Trekkie with a particular fascination with the Borg, I find myself comparing the social structure of the Collective to the information you're giving here and I'm realizing the writers for Star Trek got the Borg all wrong; they tried to make all Borg drone units as homogenized, interchangeable parts of a vast machine intellect, and said they based that on the social structures of insects like ants and bees, but seeing how many different specializations there actually are within a single bee colony makes me realize that the Borg would require similar specializations just to function. Granted, they did try to rectify that in Voyager when they started exploring Borg social structure through Seven of Nine and, later, the Borg children, but one of the commentary tracks for the movie First Contact mentioned that the director and writers had a difficult time figuring out how to direct the background Borg as they had no idea what they should be doing that was both interesting and looked Borg-like. After watching this, I realize all they had to do was watch an observation bee hive and figure out how to translate bee specializations to the Borg; i.e. instead of nurse bees, have medical Borg with specialized scanners and surgical implements to do on-site maintenance on other drones or have engineer or construction Borg that fill the role of the bees who build and maintain comb.
Same here. Much appreciate you documenting and commenting what we see, but can't grasp as we are not that near the bees in the hive, with our eyes. Much appreciated.
Indeed magical and sacred creatures.. They are not only crutial for the world's flowers pollination process but also in producing excess honey for the wellbeing of the human race as well as for honey-eating animals. Surely, there are numerous signs of our Lord in every aspect of bees' life. 🌼🐝
This is utterly fascinating!!! I don’t know what it is about bees, but I love watching videos of them. Great job...the video is very well done. Thank you!
Watched, fascinated, subscribed. I would love to get a hive. There's a guy where I live who wants to place hives in every postcode in our state, particularly the urban area. He sets up and maintains things, and you get 10% of the honey. A pretty good deal I think. And the bees proliferate!
That sounds like an interesting venture. I hope that beekeeper has a UA-cam channel and shares that project as it progresses. Many urban areas forbid honey bee hives, that could also be part of the project, showing how that is overcome. Thanks for watching and welcome to my channel!
If they can't find pollen in the immediate vicinity, they can forage for miles in every direction. 2-3 miles tends to be the limit though there have been instances of more distant travel. If the bees have to travel miles for resources, I'd consider relocating the apiary.
Frederick Dunn I don’t have an apiary just millions of bees. And I have never been able to find the beehive. I live in the suburbs so I can really keep one.
Excellent Excellent, did I mention Excellent! Always great Mr Dunn you truly are peerless! I know that I will always learn something when I watch your videos! COOL!!
I got more from this 7.5 minute video than a host of others I’ve watched, combined. Excellent info and explanations that any lay person, like me, can understand, along with top-notch video quality. No fluff or overly-animated tone - just here’s what’s going on, why it’s happening, accompanied by the visual. Well done!
I loved this video! I've been searching for something more like a university lecture about honey bees but most of the stuff on UA-cam about bees are like kids clips. Thank you!
4:30 - From my experience and observation with the european Honey Bee the cleaning instinct of bees are sorta coming last. Taking care of the queen, getting brood, getting food, etc. all comes first. So smaller hives or hives where the beekeeper puts too much space seem to clean less - and thus also be more vulnerable to the varroa. Since I work completely without any chemical procedures on my hive this was a rather important find as I keep my bee hives somewhat small (though it can be tricky, because of even late swarming occuring when keeping them too small). And drones also help for heating the hive during most of the year so more worker bee scan fly out. So just waiting for a virgin queen isn't quite their only responsibility. P.S. Also my chicken love the lavaes that are thrown out. They eat them so quickly away that I rarely see them laying around.
Drone: I feel so lucky that all I have to do here is eat and mate.
Worker: *Winter is coming.*
Yes but once they mate, they die!
@@sianthomasson8799 what drone?
Drones are male bees i think
@@bluedaylight1243 lol Male bees
you knoe nuthin drone snow.
I like when they do their little dance to show the location of the flowers.
i want to know how that dance illustrates where to find the pollen. can it be deciphered?
