THANK YOU MICKEAL AND KAMEN, for sharing, caring, mentoring .For your determination of doing your best on behalf of our bees and securing their future through knowledge and sharing. FOREVER GRATEFUL ❤️👏👏🙏🇨🇦👍
@@kamonreynolds just so great we’re all having fun and sharing cool stuff with great people across the globe. Together we can all offer a little bit of greatness!! 🙌💯🐝
Thanks again to Michael Palmer for all he does for beekeepers! Agree or disagree I love the fact that Michael calls it like he sees it and tells you what he thinks!
I thank you Kamon for doing this interview. I'm a 3 year beekeeper. I read most of Michael Palmers work. The one on one was very informative. Keep up with the keeping up sir.
I think you would love to come to the Philippines.... There are 5 different varieties of honey bees that I know of... Of course you got to European honey bees... As well as the Asian honey bees... And then you have the largest honeybee in the world... That lives on one comb.. And I don't know what else you would like to see...I have lives here about 4 years. I have never been to any other islands .. There are about 20 different kinds of stingless bees...
So for those who dont get immunized one way or the other there is always the chance that you encounter an aggressive hive that can kill you by giving you too many stings . I started beekeeing swelling up with every sting .year 3 i was immune and could easily take being stung thirty times in an hour wihout swelling it was sore thats it . If you dont suffer from shortage of breath you arent allergic just need more stings to eliminate the reaction that causes swelling.
I really like Michael Palmer, such a resource... Thanks Kaman... Central western Arkansas here, Pollen was pouring in last week. Question- one certain hive brought in 5-6 times more pollen than the others- 1. Do you see this in your Apiary? 2. Do you use this early pollen collection as a breeder selection trait? Thanks Ray
I've learned a considerable amount from Michael over the years. BUT, IMO with my education and 33 years of practice, Michael should stick to beekeeping and not spew his lack of medical knowledge concerning allergies. Nonsense mixed with some truth steers people to make bad choices. Thanks Kamon for your efforts, knowledge and desire to continue to learn and help the bee world!!!
Thanks Lance but the medical industry gets wrong too. Especially with stings. I know people who were diagnosed by their doctor with a "life threatening" reaction and anyone with bee experience would know that the doctor didn't know what they heck they were doing. Perhaps a skilled allergist would have done things differently. Medical malpractice is very common and that is due to the complexity of the human body, human error, and lack of knowledge about the human anatomy and how things can change with time. It wasn't that long ago they were ripping out our tonsils in the 90s because "evolutionarily" we didn't need them anymore. Whoops. We were also being told that our appendixes we're something we "evolved" past too. I have met several doctors at 33 due to health related instances to know that only a few of them (in my experience) think outside their training and the current knowledge of the day. I listen to both sides and make up my mind as anyone who cares about themselves should. The last 2 years shows that not all doctors agree on how to treat a patient and deal with the same problem. Ah life.
@@kamonreynolds You are correct Kamon. I didn't disagree with everything said by Michael. I personally have had my swelling and recovery time from being stung in the past and now have absolutely no reaction (other than some short term itching and the initial "sting.") I've seen people that thought it would be ok to carry an epi pen with them and continue to not protect themselves trying to build their immune system and things didn't work out too well for them. Long story short, is that people with "influence" need to be careful when speaking. I'll say it again, Nonsense mixed with some truth steers people to make bad choices. You have a great future Kamon, I support you and have learned some things from you as well as Michael, Randy Oliver, Ian Steppler and others. My statement wasn't meant to be negative as Marc Hitson eluded to, just a shot across the bow from a guy that knows more in that area than the average guy in the Apiary.
On the overwintering nucleus colonies. My mentor said exactly what everyone has been told. You can't overwinter nucs in our part of the country. It just can't be done. So, I tried it and it worked. I had no idea what I was doing at this point because there was no one around to explain to me what to do. And of course the nuc swarmed. A few years later I saw Michael Palmer's national honey show presentation and understood what to do. I overwinter nucs on a yearly basis. This coming season I do plan to attempt to split up all my colonies later in summer and attempt all nucs to overwinter. Easy to feed and take care of (my opinion). Then in spring I'll split them up in deeps and start my season for honey production. Of course they will be too strong and I'll have to split them once or twice. That's OK with me.
Very true Bee Bob! I think the lesson is to always keep an open mind! Just think how many people thought it was impossible that could have been doing it!
@@kamonreynolds True. We did get to the moon and broke the 4 minute mile. I always remembered a bee club saying 10 years ago. Ask 5 beekeepers a question and get 10 different answers. As you know, it all comes down to what one personally experienced.
Thank you Kamen I too follow Mike. I have kept his dbl nuc hives overwinter for a few years. I am in the Catskill Mountains with lots of snow and single digits, they over-winter superbly. BTW, I am CLOVERDALE on BeeSource. 😊
Loral geting stung up with the package is the same thing that happened to me the parson told me to bang it on the ground shake it and dump it in the hive I did what I was told and they tore me up and the next day they were gone and I had to buy another package I did not have any protection on at all
We have had a very overcast summer here where I am in Australia and although the bees were flying well they brought very little, I even had some swarms in traps starve out, I fed after the Nov inspection all the way through until early Feb. I only stopped feeding once the sun appeared for an extended period, I missed all the blossoms and all of the follow on summer flowers, it now heading into fall but I won't take any honey this year, and any left over honey in the supers will be fed back because it is prolly sugar tainted anyways.
Maybe someone can give me a second opinion on this; I have done two alcohol washes this winter using all the bees found dead right outside the entrance, and both times the mite count was 0. In my opinion this is not an accurate test and if I were to hypothesize, the mites depart from unhealthy or old bees prior to or immediately after the bee actually dying. Thoughts?
I don't own a bee suit or gloves (just a cheap veil) but rarely get stung - some years never. How often and how many times a year does one need to be stung in order to prevent developing a true bee allergy/anaphylaxis?
I can buy local honey. Where I live for about for about $1.50 to $1.75 a pound... Yes it's packed in gallon jugs.. Yes I know some if is adulterated.... As far as I know there are no laws in the Philippines about .. Adulterated honey.....
What would be the chance of me to be able to shadow Master beekeepers Mr. Palmer and Mr. Reynolds ? I'm a hobbyist of four yrs. Interested in increasing my knowledge and skills 👌
I am a member of the VT House on the Ag & Forestry Committee and we are working on a bill about the ban on neonic pesticides to help pollinators. In the past we have had Mr Palmer in to testify on bees, not this year but he has a lot of information to share. I did not hear neonics during this interview but I am curious why and if most beekeepers think these pesticides are a major cause of bee death. From our research it seems that there are many causes for bee problems and it is difficult to pinpoint one issue.
Massachusetts passed a law last years that only commercial professionals can use neonics. That way at least homeowners wont be nuc'ing their property using too much.
Over here in western Australia I've inadvertently halved my production over the years by breeding my own queens due to multitudes of feral drones in the bush, these feral bees in the wild have an advantage due to reduced laying after a honey flow, but for a commercial situation the prolific laying bees are bred on Rottnest Island ,we move bees around to take advantage of differant flora
Granny needs your help! I left you a comment on your site from 2 years ago. I will work on a new comment here. I am so frustrated as there is a person that I know for a fact that is stealing my bees!
Caught the last 30mins. Excellent chat, My carniolan bees were desperate for a cleansing flight. -1C (30F). Ate too much over the winter, not suited for my climate or seems. Check my video.
The hypersensitivity discussion was interesting, but not accurate. The reason why in some cases people stop reacting to bee venom in the anti-venom antibodies made in response to a sting change from IgE to IgG. IgE causes the hypersensitivity reaction we are all familiar with by interacting with mast cells. If you switch to Igg, this can't happen anymore. I think Mike meant B cells (antibody making cells) not E cells. T cells orchestrate the response, they provide stuff that antibody making cells need.

Kamon, thank you so much for the chat with Mike Palmer. There is so much to learn from him and you as well. As always, a great video. Thank you
Thanks Kamon
Loved this! Chats are so Much better than presentations as Mike says! 🙌🐝🐝🐝
I think so too but yours was a hybrid of both and I loved it.

Missed some of it but watching it back! Michael is great. His “A Year in the Apiary” video is one of the best.
Very interesting interview. Thx

If you are selecting for bees that store pollen then absolutely! I like that quality for summer dearths

I’m in Massachusetts and had pollen coming in last Wednesday when it was 60 degrees.
I’m just now sitting down to watch. Thanks for the video Kamon and Mr. Palmer.
What a day to be out getting wood for the fire.
Did not get the notification. 😞
Watching the repeat now.
Thank y’all

Looking forward to getting Michael back out to Oregon someday soon for our Fall conference.
Last time he was out, EVERYBODY loved him!
I'd love to see what you'd do with a podcast
I wish I had the time! Maybe one day.
He grows one heck of a great garden!
off topic pls. i watched a documentary on vanishing bees. what is your opinion on this and is there any info about it ? thank you

You are correct, you will not find mites on dead bees.
