46:00 Absolutely valuable advice. The individuals you've named there are known for brow-beating down anyone who has bee-sense and truly understands what's going on in the hive. Bush never budges on any topic however incorrect he may be. The woman you describe sounds absolutely miserable, so happy to have not made her acquaintance. The auxiliary heating of the hive is another trend that I hope finds its place in the dust bin soon. Your stock is rising, Michael Palmer. Preach it.
Bless you Palmer for being on such a better plain than most , and sharing REAL ,NO NONSENSE KNOWLEDGE THAT NUMBERS PROVE,AND Bless you even More that you got the guts to say the things you did,I TOTALLY AGREE
The best yet!!! I have been to a lot of conferences and no one can compare. Michael Palmer brings beekeeping full circle- for free. How generous!!! Thank you so much!!! As a busy mother of six and an R.N. I don't have the time to waste at another useless talk, especially the one where Monsanto bought out a veteran beekeeper and he was paid to tell us Neonics were not a problem. I embarrassed my 15 year old when I booed him and walked out!!! A breath of fresh air, please tell it like it is Michael. All beekeepers need to hear what you have to say , especially the new ones.!! THANKS AGAIN. PLEASE post the next one that was mentioned on Queen Rearing.
Teresa Parker Loved your comment about embarrassing your 15 year old ... I have a 14 year old; since they get embarrassed no matter what we do, why not embarrass them for a worthwhile reason ... through actions you’ve taught your child that there are things in this world worth fighting for. An A+ parent!
I have tried his queen rearing method and it works. Now we are developing the nucleus beehive system with his 4 way queen mating system too. Raising your own queens is a great way to expanded and select the best traits for wintering in north western Canada. Thank you mike for your videos.
HEY Michael i went on the internet and after a while i found you like lots of other people videos are good but i really enjoy your videos very informative
Nice Video. I have recently caught a wild swarm of bees. How long does it take before a bee colony gets used to it's bee keeper if they do ever get better at being used for honey and wax.
I may have missed the answer in the vid but when the brood factories are in full production are they relying on a strong nectar flow or would the nuclei be given supplemental feed?
There are many things to learn from this man….respectfully. Michael Bush is more about the Bees and Palmer is more about a commercial approach to beekeeping. Most new bee keepers aren’t about being commercial…there’s a big difference between the 2! Folks ask yourself why you are beekeeping, and then choose your style. I’ll stick with a chemical free approach, makes sense if you are eating it!
Hi My message is to David Stallings who edited and produced these terrific videos Mike mentioned a queen rearing talk. Are you planning on posting this final talk please and if so, when?
hi was wondering. have you ever thought of making a box that could house 4 nucs all together in the one box at the standard hive box size with the intention of putting a deep super on top? would you recommend doing something like that?
As he referenced “ ghosts in the hive he unwittingly supported smaller cell to fight varroa mite brr e cause worker bees are not affected by only the drones in Asian bee colonies.
at 109:32 he described where he placed the honey frame when. he broke down the full hive into the nuc. the problem is we can't tell the frame placement of the brood or the honey frame into the nuc from this video. can someone help me learn the proper place of frames into the nuc when you break down the full brood box.
if you have not received an answer yet, typically we place resources on the outer walls and the center remains for the cluster. the good news is if you get it wrong the bees will often fix our mistakes at the expense of time. the bees want the resources accessible for the brood rearing, often the brood frames have resources in the outer perimeter and the queen lays an oval shaped pattern in the center. sorry a response has taken a year, live long and prosper good sir!
I’ve been studying his technique for the last year. Here’s what I’ve gathered. Mike wants brood in these colonies and not honey. He prefers an uncapped frame of nectar over honey but that will go on the inside slot along the center of the brood nest. The bees do NOT like this and will move that out. The queen will then lay in that. If you put it on the outside, the bees will just leave it. Then, once the queen lays in that frame, he’s ready to add the next box. It goes straight up into the second box (super). A foundation frame goes in the empty bottom slot now. And, they will want to lay there so the bees will draw it out fast.
Eggs, brood and larvae go behind the fly opening. The bees who keep the brood warm will also help defend the hive. Therefor they need to be close to the fly opening. Honey as far away from the fly opening. Always make the fly opening in nukes and small colonies as small as possible.
@@decaturridgebees8761 EXACTLY,HE "STIMULATES" them like this because inside frame is actually center of broodnest and when bees "Move" the Honey it simulates a "Flow" ..Dbl Nucs Brood Sooooo Hard -i love em, thanks Mike
Question, I started a couple double nucs and wanted to know.. For overwintering, i am in Michigan, do i need to put the nuc on top of a production hive or can i over winter on their own ?
Big difference commercial goals versus natural methods..instead use thicker wood in hives to imitate trees, horizontal hives, etc. Should attract feral, local bees with better genetics adapted to local conditions.
I have to use horizontal hive due to disability..and I’ve seen many examples of bees building into horizontal spaces. Advantage of a horizontal space is temperature uniformity.
Thanks for your comments Calvin. It was an excellent presentation, but criticizing and mocking people by name seems petty and distracting... as Michael says, show us the numbers, which he does so marvelously. A dialogue on ideas and outcomes, which Michael mostly does, is powerful indeed.
As a damaged new beekeeper, I personally truly appreciate successful and no-nonsense, experienced beekeepers who call out others on their wonky advice. It is not fun when you go through the expense, effort, and emotional turmoil of following advice which you thought would be best for the creatures in your care, only to find out after failure that the advice was not the best to take. He is telling it like it is, to prevent new beekeepers from failing by being led astray by poorly thought out beekeeping theories. I feel like Mike Palmer is a treasure for this.
They need to be called out,their filling new beekeepers heads full of nonsense and causing them to let their bees die because they don't know better yet.Thats what's wrong with the world, nobody wants to say something that might offend someone,but yet it's fine for them to spread bs and cause damage to bees and more money to innocent beekeeper,...jagoffs
Why would you waste so much of our time explaining differences you are having with another presenter? Poor form. Just please, talk about bees. Leave personal grudges at home.

Thx again for taking the trouble to edit and post this and looking forward to seeing the next lecture from Mike
This is a great title!
HEY Michael i went on the internet and after a while i found you like lots of other people videos are good but i really enjoy your videos very informative
thank you for your insightful and honest knowledge
Wow! An eye opener!
He mentioned a queen rearing talk. Will that be posted?
Michael is a great beekeeper.
Nice Video. I have recently caught a wild swarm of bees. How long does it take before a bee colony gets used to it's bee keeper if they do ever get better at being used for honey and wax.
That list of books would be nice to have 😁
Very informative!! thanks!>...amazing video work ...lighting and audio. So rare with UA-cam bee teaching videos.. What lighting did you use?

Listen to his speech at 45min. That's my buddy!
Michael is awesome ! Thanks for the video !!!
Hi, is it possible to make CLOSED CAPTIONING turned on for both sessions please? Thank you!
As he referenced “ ghosts in the hive he unwittingly supported smaller cell to fight varroa mite brr e cause worker bees are not affected by only the drones in Asian bee colonies.
I was thinking about getting in to beekeeping now I'm not to sure too much I don't understand think I will now pass

If you didn't get your question answered please write president@hcbeekeepers.org and I'll connect you with a mentor.
A great beekeeper.
Really?
Calvin King yes totally.
Is he implying at the end of the season to put a bigger colony into smaller nuc box colonies?
"go to the youtube and google my name" lol :)
Staghorn ? I like it

If you don't like to criticize people then don't especially in a public forum.
Calvin King who are you talking to? your comment makes no sense

Call them out

this guy complains too much
