World's first honeybee vaccine
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2023
- People are burning bee hives. There is a disease called American foulbrood, and it's so contagious that the only way to treat it is to burn all infected colonies. But there’s some good news. We might be able to vaccinate them.
This is the world's first honeybee vaccine...

Please note, the number of honey bees (which are not native to the Americas) are increasing and in no danger. The problem is the thousands of other species of bees that nobody knows about. "Saving the bees" is not about honey bees.
YES why doesn't anybody know this
I thought I was the only one who knew 😅. Honey isn't even that good why do we still have these pests around, smh
@@carissalarocque4484maybe because they're improtant to the environment?
@@binhalthier5151honey bees are generally not good for the environment unless you are live in at area where they are native. Honey bees are agricultural live stock at this point. They are poor pollinators and often out compete native bees.
This is so true. We have the same problem here in Australia with native Australian bees. They are smaller and more selective in the plants that they draw food from and the destruction of native vegetation and proliferation of European honey bees makes it so much more difficult for them to thrive.
So many commenters pointing out we need to save the wild bees gives me hope.
SAMEEE
Except we don't need to save honeybees
@@zimzimph Have fun eating no food then 🤦♂️
@@AwwYouTried8639They said honey bees. Wild bees are a multitude of different species.
@@AwwYouTried8639 bro honeybees are ONE species.
The bees we need to save ain’t honey bees, it’s wild bees
Yea but they don't make rich people money so they may as well just die right now.
Well, good thing I can’t tell them apart 👍
It's both 🤦♂️ ALL pollinators need to be restrained
@@AwwYouTried8639 retained.
Comparatively European honey bees do like a quarter of the work wild bees do.
U dumb, if honey bees were gone, wild bees would need decades to fill in the space. And since honey bees are everywere, if they get sick they get wild bees sick as well
Save the Native bees not the honey bees.
All of them are important
We need all pollinators. Stop being be-ist
Both
Y’all do realize that by putting more importance over honeybees, you’re pushing out the native bees that do most of the pollinating (honey bees are only bred to benefit humans, not the environment). It’s heavily detrimental to our forests and wildlife.
@@Lilliaan. honeybees kill off native pollinators because they're aggressive and have such a high demand for resources.
I read that honey bee numbers are actually growing fairly rapidly and they, in fact, could pose problems for wild bee species that are declining in number.
It seems as though most people conflate honey bees with all bees and don't realize that wild bee species are vital for environmental harmony due to the lock and key principle for pollination which notes that specific bees are tailor made for pollinating specific plants.
Honey bees are still very important but "save the bees" is really referring to wild bee populations.
Yeah. honeybees are good at producing honey and at polinating a lot of plants, but... not all plants. and the cultivation of honeybees is decreasing the numbers of wild bees which decreases the insect variety which increases transmissions and evolution of diseases within the population
That's exactly what I thought when Cleo said that, thank you so much for this comment!
There needs to be more comments like this.
my country has a lot of local fauna that needs indigenous bees/ other pollinators in order to survive alien species and the save the bees movement has most people who hear about the problem looking at honeybees.
Very true. Honey bees are not even native to the Americas
Exactly. If honey bees aren't native, you aren't doing any good buying honey to save the bees.
Honey bee populations are thriving, at the expensive of native bees, that’s the real problem we are facing
Keeping bees to help save wild bees - is like keeping chicken to help save wild birds.
Sure buddy.. whatever makes you sleep better at night
Not really. There is a wolf species that very nearly went extinct. However capture and captivity breeding followed by reintroduction is allowing the species a real shot at survival and eventually flourishing.
Besides, unlike chickens (or even wolves in captivity) kept bees do spend time in the wild. The hive can even abandon the keeper/farm, which absolutely happens.
So the bees people keep don't pollinate plants?
@@robertaylor9218 you're missing the point. You can't replace native bee species by escaped honeybees. That's environmental damage, just like replacing bird population with chickens.
@James D not the same plants or at the same rate as the native bees which have evolved to pollinate them. The invasion of Honeybees is causing the extinction of hundreds of other bee species. And you might only care about agricultural plants, so it's good to know that honeybees can't pollinate things like tomato plants. Those require buzz pollination which bumblebees are experts at
Fine... I'll say it...
"And it was another great day of saving the bees!"
A Ph.D. acquaintance of mine who's work specializes in honeybees has said there's contention in her field at calling this a "vaccine", saying that such work on bee vaccines has been done before this new one (she was involved in the prior's research) but that approval was denied in part for its referral as a "vaccine".
The issue was that vaccine as a term implies production of an immunogenic response in the form of antibodies, and as insects lack those then it didn't fit the bill, so... rejection. She's kinda fuming right now that suddenly that seems to have been ignored and this new one gets the label of "vaccine".
A problem of academic semantics lol
Don't worry, they will just change the definition of "vaccine" again.
Want to send a cite, sounds interesting.
Inoculation?
All we need to do is change the definition of vaccine.. wait...
I was happy to see all the love for native bees, and hoping someone would comment about calling it a vaccine. As soon as she said it: doubt
WE NEED WILD BEES, we have enough honeybees but the main problem with them is that because they are so many they spread diseases very easily but also on very important wildbees so they die out so its good either way but we still have more than enough Honeybees, there are plant species that depend on other species of bees or even completely diffrent insects so we need to support these species more than honeybees, keeping only one species is a monoculture and thats always bad not good!
We don't need to save the bees, we need to save pollinators, the bees we think about in fact are actually invasive species.
Exactly!!! Thousands of pollinators aren't even bees, they're things like beetles and flies, which are being pushed from their habitats and starved out by honeybees and bee farming.
honeybees are invasive, those big fatty bumblebees are native !! :)
@@dunderheadgood depends where you are tho! always something important to remember when talking about invasive species. for anyone reading comments on invasive species in general always look into if a species is invasive specifically where you are. because all “invasive” species have to be original native to somewhere, and that somewhere might just be where you call home. (and also, just because a species isn’t native, doesn’t always mean it’s invasive! that’s only true if it’s causing damage to the environment it’s in:) ). though in this case, yes, honey bees are not native or particularly good for the north american environment
Friendly reminder: The honey bee is a European species which competes with native American bees for territory and food resources. If you’re going to keep honey bees to “save the bees” then you need to make an attempt to plant enough flowers and nectar-producing plants to actually feed them without taking away from native pollinators. Most bee species in NA are solitary creatures, like carpenter bees, meaning they don’t form colonies for protection. Don’t just save the honey bees, take steps to save all pollinating species. For example, bats tend to be better pollinators than bees and have the added benefit of pest insect control.
The bees in Europe are suffering, being killed and eaten by Asian Bees (not really sure if they really come from Asia, but it's the name they are called). They are way bigger, and they literally to nothing but sting and kill honey bees (they destroy an entire hive in moments...)
(Honestly I don't know the relationship the honey bees have with NA wild bees)
We have a species of Mosquitoes that is the major pollinator where I live in N.America for native fruit trees. The pesticides used locally are decimating them as a small part of the *worldwide Insect Apocalypse*
I actually have to make special breeding areas for all mosquitos, so the pollinating ones have a higher chance to survive and pollinate my fruit trees & bushes.
@@cjwrench07 yeeeess! People perceive mosquitoes as a useless disease-carrying insect rather than the vital ecological members they are! Now, I won’t lie, the females love to bite me, so I get pretty fed up with them. But, I by no means want to eradicate them like others do. I would much rather build bat houses to keep the population in check than support efforts that would eradicate them in my area.
@@foolishlyfoolhardy6004 This deserves to be a highlighted comment because I don't think people are taking this hard fact into consideration.
Honey bees are not the only bee species to save and are not endangered at all in any capacity. Shhhh about honey bees and focus on native bees :)
It's not honey bees that are important. It's your regional local bees. These include both local honey bees. An non honey bees. So please take the extra second to clarify.
Honey bees are some of the least important bees, THEY AREN'T EVEN NATIVE TO NORTH AMERICA! We need to focus on local ecosystems
Have you asked yourself the question why they were introduced to America?
@@UltFrizz colonialization
@@UltFrizzhoney ofc
Thank you so much for thinking the same thing than me. I get so tiered of the narrative that honex bees need to be saved.
Even in placees where they are native, there a hundreds of other species who are way more important for the ecosystem. Honey bees ar inefficent polinators.
@@UltFrizz how about instead of relying on an invasive species we, instead, rely on our native pollinators? You know, the ones who had been pollinating for thousands of years before Honeybees were brought to the Americas. Honeybees are actively outcompeting, and thus killing off native pollinators in the Americas, pollinators that are more beneficial than Honeybees. Honeybees cannot pollinate many native plants, only native bees pollinate many of our native plants. You are essentially suggesting that we should continue ushering in the extinction of countless plants, insects and animals because of saving Honeybees.
Not so fun fact: The honeybee isnt endangered, but The wild bees are. Some plants Need The wild bees because the honeybee cant Target them.
This is why we should give all the wild bees an environment to live in
This video was weird; ending with the soft-spoken line "saving the bees" distracted me for a moment into thinking this was a Texas Beeworks video.
feel like it was a homage perhaps?
Omg yesss i love her videos and her "saving the beeeess"
Its not honey bees we need to dave, its wild bees.
I like that UA-cam hears “vaccine” and immediately has to put that CDC COVID info bar at the bottom of the short
The hobbyist community has discovered in the last few years that some of the coral death we are seeing is due to bacterial infection. Which makes sense when you think about it because corals are animals, they are susceptible to infections and viruses just like we are. This has led to some studies testing antibiotics on our coral reefs. I can tell you personally I have saved dying corals in my reef tank by dipping them in antibiotics. Hopefully the research leads to a method for helping to treat our fragile reef ecosystems.
Now that's what Vettel stood for...
The bees we need to save are wild bees. We have plenty of honey bees, if not too many.
Jo saving the bees and saving the honey bees ain't the same. Honeybees aren't all that good at pollinating and we actually have more than enough of them. It's about saving wild bees that are very good at polinating local flora. Honey bees actually hurt them
And this is another day of saving the beeezzz.... (iykyk)
I was looking for this 😅
@@user-gi4no6gn7m hehe
I was looking for this too damn.
Dear Cleo, you are an amazing human being. This video is useful and can help many farmers and bee keepers out there. You are bringing out unique and important news than other UA-camrs, this is why we love your videos. Keep doing more videos like this ❤️❤️
Yessa what he said
Whoever needs to know this won't find out through YT. This videos for us plebs
Fr
No it won't, she should be trying to save native species of bees and other pollinators.
I wonder how small are the microchips inside 🤣
I hope the Bees had stocked up on the toilet paper first and not fallen for Bill Gate's new plan to install Microsoft chips in their Queen.
consider how invasive domestic bees are pushing native pollinators to extinction. We are homogenising the pollinators and will be fully reliant on domestic corporate bees.
Bro UA-cam is so screwed it put COVID 19 info on the bottom
Studies have shown that moths are better pollinators than honey bees
Honeybees arent really the bees in danger, its all the wild ones that need our help.
Im sure millions of honey bee hoves isnt considered endangered like most of the wild type bees that do way more for the environment.
Honeybees are not in danger...
Nah leave those bees alone
Another great day of saving the beeeeezzzzzzz
If you look really close to a bee hive, you'll see some antivax bees protesting
Giving bee queens a chemical, which they will pass on to HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of bees. This sounds like a new plot for The Last of Us, where honey bees are now immune to another disease which we didnt know about, which they will now pass on to humans through their honey. Nice.
Could make a fun expansion pack 😂
Someone is suffering from chemophobia
You could worry about an imaginary illness from a video game/TV series or, you know, about actual famine caused by bees' extinction. I personally worry more about people who can't do anything but complain about other people's work
@@zaratustra27 As long as you don't worry about random people on the internet and their meaningless comments about some fictional sickness, that sounds pretty good for you ;)
Paenibacillus Larvae is harmless to humans..
Burning beehives....that's sick...
Burning the bees (alive) is disgusting, but humans do that to other animals too, like whenever humans cause outbreaks of avian-flu or swine-flu or bovine illnesses or ape diseases or… 😠 Viruses aren't the disease, humans are.
Foulbrood... brutal band.
Thank god people know about what to save .Honey bees are protected by enough people already
yea and now the government can control the honey wow so important
YOU REMIND ME OF THAT BEE GIRL
"ANOTHER DAY OF SAVING THE BEES"
Bees be like We don’t want vaccinate!!
They’re going to make robot bees don’t worry!!
...save the robobees?
PSA:
Local pollinators should be prioritized *over* invasive honey bees (they aren't invasive everywhere, but they are in the Americas)
“And it’s another day of saving the bees” 🐝🐝🐝🐝
vaccinate bees; what's the worst that could happen
Yea tell me, whats the worst that could happen?
@@tooneysailor you could continue to fail in the basic ability to extrapolate.
@@lw1zfog what
American English Honey Bee, British English Bee. American English Reading Glasses, British English Glasses. American English Horseback Riding, British English Horse Riding. It's funny how American English describes something that to the rest of us is obvious.
Well to be fair, a honey bee is very different to other bees. I don't think the Americas have any native honey bees.
I am so glad theres scientists out there that work on this
Please be aware that honeybees are not in danger. ALL native pollinators are. Butterflies, native bee species, hoverflies. Honeybees do very little pollinating compared to most ever native pollinating species, so start planting flowers which are native to your area to help them.
"another day of saving the beeEeEs"
This video remembers me of that woman
When a journalist doesn't know honey bees are an invasive species to the Americas. 😅
Oh no we’re going to give bees heart issues aren’t we
I like how youtube thinks she's talking about covid-19
I love the Covid-19 vaccine pop up that appears anytime someone says the word vaccine
Billy has not had enough vaccinating the entire population he wants to vaccinate the Bees...
"... and it 2as another great day of saving the beeesss"
It’s pretty funny actually because honeybees are actually an invasive species most of the areas they’re in, but people have this concept that they’re essential to the ecosystem.
I remembered the " SAVING THE BEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZ " lady lmao i saw another comment too
That's awesome!!
Okay but tiny needles would be so cute. Imagine the bees lining up to get a poke to the rump 😂😂
Side note: weren't honeybees imported from Europe? I'm no bugologist, but I'm pretty sure they're not native to America.
But yeah... we still need them!
And we don't need to save honeybees to begin with
It is amazing to me how much we rely on bees. And at the same time, how few people know how much we depend on bees.
What happens when they find out this is all fake news when scrolling in Beesbook
I think you are glowing today
honey bees are the columbus of bees, everyone praises them when other bees were already there lmfao.
I’m sorry for my ignorance, but I didn’t know there were wild bees vs honey bees. How can we save wild bees? I’m really interested 😊
Now we need to figure out how to protect bats against mold infections.
Be good if they could get an antidote to pesticides too
Another day of saving the bezzz
20 years later… “so yeah, now we know that was a mistake, but Uhmm, you know, we tried, those new bee drones are pretty great though right?”
Got to admit that I thought it was a tiny little syringe 😅
Honey bees are not the ones we need to save. We need to save our native bees. Honey bee populations are on the rise and that's killing off native species.
Love the innovative stuff that's happening to save the bees but it would be interesting if you could address this point that many people are making in the comments about saving the native bees versus the apparently non-native honey bees. I never heard about that distinction until today...
I can listen you all day Cleo...🤩
When UA-cam says she is talking about Covid-19
Wild bees: what abt me😀?
This is some apocalyptic movie concept
Aren't wild bees the ones we need saving?
That sounds really cool honestly!
The thumbnail needle close to the face made my body react 😂
This is the bees knees. 😀
Just to be clear, when we get enough robot bees that can pollinate (some have already been made) I plan to single-handedly kill every bee on the face of the planet
Hope this doesn’t open another pandora’s box
If Onett's in the beehive, then I'm all down to turn it into a stakehouse.
Look out, the honey Bee specialists have entered the chat
Yeah bees aren't going extinct any time soon. Mostly because bees are livestock just like cows or sheep, so farmers will do their best to keep their animals alive. That's why this treatment exists
Welp, no more honey for me.
“Another great day of vaccinating the beeeeezzzzzz”
This is why I'm a biology major. This is so cool!
No, no, this is to give bees magnetic powers. Bee Magneto. /S
you are such a great presenter with such fascinating topics. i’ve watched 8 or more of yr YT short clips in one evening - all good 👏👏👏
Honeybees are invasive in the US. Making sure honeybees don't infect native bees is important because it keeps happening.
Ye kitti Pyari lagti hai..... ❤️❤️
You are always bringing such good content and brighten dark days for me
Thank you
Bee moms gonna be pissed about this
Shouldve said "another great day of saving the bees"
"And this is another great day of saving the bees"
My dumb a** actually thought of tiny syringes 😂
We have Natalie Portman at home:
Nah. Let's bring back the original pollinators that bees killed off. Bees monopolized pollination, and now we have no other choice. Lmao
Its the Native bees we need to save not the common honey bee that has been into every country.
