02:26.266 --> 02:28.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% We'll set this right here, when we catch her, 02:28.566 --> 02:30.233 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% put her in here. 02:30.233 --> 02:31.066 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50% Yay! 02:32.866 --> 02:35.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% So what we're seeing here, this is all babies. 02:35.633 --> 02:38.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% Those are larvae, queen lays and egg, it becomes a larvae. 02:38.333 --> 02:39.366 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% It's like a little

align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% And now we're in honey. 02:43.800 --> 02:45.100 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% There's a ton of bees in there. 02:45.100 --> 02:46.533 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% - There's still nestin material, that's from our wrens. 02:46.533 --> 02:47.366 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% - Can I pick that out? 02:47.366 --> 02:48.500 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% - Yeah, of course. 02:48.500 --> 02:49.800 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I think that's how we discovered it, actually. 02:49.800 --> 02:52.166 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% I always clean out the nesting material after winter 02:52.166 --> 02:53.666 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% and there were bees. 02:53.666 --> 02:57.066 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5% (bees buzz) (upbeat music continues) 02:58.500 --> 03:01.366 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%

--> 03:08.866 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% - Oh yes, yes, yes. 03:08.866 --> 03:11.300 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% - See how she's long and kind of pointy? 03:11.300 --> 03:12.300 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Yes. 03:12.300 --> 03:13.500 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - That's how you tell a queen. 03:13.500 --> 03:14.800 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% That's mama. 03:14.800 --> 03:16.666 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% That's the queen. 03:16.666 --> 03:18.066 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% - The queen bee. 03:18.066 --> 03:21.433 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% (upbeat music continues) 03:21.433 --> 03:22.833 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% Now give 'em a good shake. 03:22.833 --> 03:23.666 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% Harder, like give it. 03:23.666 --> 03:24.500 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% Yeah, like a whack. 03:24.500 --> 03:25.466 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Ooh. 03:25.466 --> 03:26.400 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% - You wanna vacuum it up some bees? 03:26.400 --> 03:27.600 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Sure. 03:27.600 --> 03:30.433 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% - So these bees are doing what's called festooning 03:30.433 --> 03:31.966 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% and hanging on here. 03:31.966 --> 03:34.766 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% Look at how much pollen's on these bees. 03:34.766 --> 03:35.600 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% It's nice. 03:37.633 --> 03:39.966 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% They call me the bee whisperer. 03:39.966 --> 03:42.700 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% (Charlie laughs) 03:44.200 --> 03:46.400 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% (upbeat music begins) 03:46.400 --> 03:47.700 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% Winter is coming y'all. 03:47.700 --> 03:49.566 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% This is the time of year we gotta get all these hives 03:49.566 --> 03:51.433 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% healthy, ready for winter. 03:51.433 --> 03:53.000 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% We gotta make sure they got enough food, 03:53.000 --> 03:55.433 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% and they're mite free, or low mite counts. 03:55.433 --> 03:57.700 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% So I'm out here at the Lake family yard. 03:57.700 --> 03:59.166 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% We got eight hives out here. 03:59.166 --> 04:01.133 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% I'm gonna use my oxalic acid vaporizer. 04:01.133 --> 04:04.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% Oxalic acid works great when there's very little brood 04:04.300 --> 04:05.300 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% in the hive. 04:05.300 --> 04:06.700 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% Really knocks the mites off. 04:06.700 --> 04:08.033 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% I hate using it. 04:08.033 --> 04:11.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% Nobody likes to put chemicals on their bees, but it works. 04:11.266 --> 04:13.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% And the alternative is bees die. 04:13.800 --> 04:14.866 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% I can't live with that. 04:15.066 --> 04:17.200 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% It's just grunt work, I gotta wear a mask and gloves, 04:17.200 --> 04:19.900 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% and I'm like a scientist, but gotta do it. 04:19.900 --> 04:21.400 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% My trusty generator. 04:21.400 --> 04:23.666 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% We have a little bit of winter feed, 04:23.666 --> 04:27.233 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% so the bees cannot drink syrup this time of year, 04:27.233 --> 04:28.500 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% when it gets below 50 degrees, 04:28.500 --> 04:30.466 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% they can't take in the syrup, they can't use it. 04:30.466 --> 04:32.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% So I gotta give 'em something they can really chaw on 04:32.300 --> 04:33.333 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55% and use. 04:33.333 --> 04:34.700 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% There's also sugar bricks. 04:34.700 --> 04:36.133 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% Some people make 'em at home. 04:36.133 --> 04:39.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% My friend, Stan Gore, this is Stan, he's now marketing them 04:39.833 --> 04:41.566 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% through Texas Bee Supply. 04:41.566 --> 04:43.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% Some of the proceeds support Hives for Heroes too, 04:43.700 --> 04:44.733 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% which I think is great. 04:45.033 --> 04:48.133 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% We're gonna wear a bee suit 'cause it's a cool day today. 04:48.133 --> 04:49.800 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% It's actually a little drizzly. 04:49.800 --> 04:51.766 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% Everybody's home, foragers are home, 04:51.766 --> 04:52.800 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% the guard bees are home. 04:52.800 --> 04:54.600 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% So this is the goods. 04:54.600 --> 04:56.800 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% This is oxalic acid, 10 pounds. 04:56.800 --> 04:58.100 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% This is powder. 04:58.100 --> 05:00.266 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% It's like straight from Columbia 05:00.266 --> 05:01.833 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% (Charlie laughs) 05:01.833 --> 05:03.466 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% Start the generator. 05:03.466 --> 05:05.000 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% You need AC power. 05:05.000 --> 05:07.900 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% So what we're gonna do i basically heat up the vaporizer. 05:07.900 --> 05:11.466 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% So this heats up, once i hits 220, we're ready to vape. 05:11.466 --> 05:13.566 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% So I gotta get my PPE on. 05:13.566 --> 05:15.500 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% This is my respirator. 05:15.500 --> 05:17.033 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% Get my veil on. 05:17.033 --> 05:19.433 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% Not good to breathe or touch. 05:21.033 --> 05:24.133 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% Now what I do is I scoop it. 05:24.133 --> 05:26.766 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% There are other ways to do oxalic. 05:26.766 --> 05:29.066 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% I find this is the most effective. 05:29.066 --> 05:32.533 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% So I just set these here on each hive. 05:32.533 --> 05:33.566 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% So we're ready. 05:33.566 --> 05:34.533 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% We're above temperature. 05:34.533 --> 05:35.633 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% So I set that there. 05:35.633 --> 05:40.166 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Now I take it and I'm just gonna flip it over, 05:40.166 --> 05:42.433 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% boop, and I'll even tap it. 05:43.833 --> 05:45.733 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% So that's gonna vaporize the hive. 05:45.733 --> 05:47.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% So we watched the temperature go down, 05:47.833 --> 05:49.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% it cools as it's vaporizing, 05:49.866 --> 05:51.833 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% and once it gets back up to like 210, 05:51.833 --> 05:53.800 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% it's ready to go to the next hive. 05:53.800 --> 05:57.433 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% Some people have cloths i here so it really sucks it in. 05:57.433 --> 05:59.066 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% But I find this is plenty. 05:59.066 --> 06:00.300 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% This is a long process. 06:00.300 --> 06:02.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Treating all my 200 hives with OA. 06:02.333 --> 06:04.033 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% This can take days. 06:04.033 --> 06:04.866 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55% Next one. 06:07.333 --> 06:09.700 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% You can see it coming out the back and the sides. 06:09.700 --> 06:12.233 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% You can see where the hive has holes. 06:12.233 --> 06:14.333 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% Sometimes I bring the speaker out here 06:14.333 --> 06:15.933 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% and jam some tunes. 06:17.833 --> 06:19.833 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% Load up some more drugs. 06:21.366 --> 06:24.100 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% People think, beekeeping, you just put bees in the hive 06:24.100 --> 06:26.333 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% and you just walk away and just have 'em, 06:26.333 --> 06:27.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and they're gonna pollinate your garden, 06:27.933 --> 06:28.900 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% and isn't that great? 06:28.900 --> 06:30.233 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% And it's not the case. 06:30.233 --> 06:32.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% Bees require attention, whether it's feed, or treatment, 06:32.766 --> 06:34.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% or at least monitoring for mites 06:34.666 --> 06:35.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% whether you're treating or not, 06:35.933 --> 06:39.766 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% you have to know what's going on in your bees. 06:40.633 --> 06:42.600 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% I think this hive's in trouble. 06:42.600 --> 06:44.233 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% We'll find out in a minute. 06:44.233 --> 06:46.900 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% I think this hive's actually not 06:46.900 --> 06:48.300 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% Oh no, they're okay. 06:48.300 --> 06:49.833 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% They're fine. 06:49.833 --> 06:51.300 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% There's bees, nevermind. 06:51.300 --> 06:53.566 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% It's just not the kind of day they wanna fly. 06:53.566 --> 06:56.633 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% (upbeat music continues) 06:56.633 --> 06:57.700 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% One last one. 07:00.333 --> 07:01.566 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% And that's it. 07:03.366 --> 07:07.100 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% Best part is taking this thing off your face. 07:08.066 --> 07:11.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% Oh, it's like taking your bra off at the end of the day. 07:11.866 --> 07:12.700 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50% Hoo! 07:15.233 --> 07:16.900 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% This is the winter feed. 07:16.900 --> 07:19.233 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% It's like little pollen, little nectar, 07:19.233 --> 07:22.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and then I've got my sugar bricks, 07:22.000 --> 07:23.733 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% but we'll see who needs what. 07:23.733 --> 07:24.933 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% I think that's it. 07:24.933 --> 07:26.433 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% By and large, we're gonna be dealing with 07:26.433 --> 07:28.766 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% very unhappy bees today. 07:28.766 --> 07:30.366 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% This is cold weather beekeeping. 07:30.366 --> 07:33.600 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% It's a little bit rainy and they're just not happy. 07:33.600 --> 07:36.566 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% Oh, there's the queen, and this hive is just not happy. 07:36.566 --> 07:38.500 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% Oh, there's the queen, right on top. 07:38.500 --> 07:40.600 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% She's a bee weaver queen, one of my pinks. 07:40.600 --> 07:43.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% This hive might be a major Barney. 07:43.000 --> 07:46.366 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% No, they're doing fine, bu there she is, that's so weird. 07:46.366 --> 07:48.600 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% Go back in the dark, honey. 07:49.500 --> 07:50.766 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% This was a treatment. 07:50.766 --> 07:52.800 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% I don't think we need anymore. 07:52.800 --> 07:54.833 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% Put the spacer up on top here 07:54.833 --> 07:58.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% so that I can put the winter feed up here. 07:58.366 --> 08:00.733 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% It doesn't smell good. 08:00.733 --> 08:04.266 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% So I give 'em a little bit of winter patty here. 08:04.266 --> 08:07.066 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% That was weird seeing the queen right up on top. 08:07.066 --> 08:08.166 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% The other thing is I might give 'em 08:08.166 --> 08:10.900 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% just a little bit of sugar water 08:12.166 --> 08:14.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% I typically go from the back. 08:14.466 --> 08:15.633 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% You just grab with two fingers. 08:15.633 --> 08:18.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% If you can lift it, I can barely lift that. 08:18.333 --> 08:20.666 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% This hive is stronger than they appeared. 08:20.666 --> 08:22.266 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% We did just put sugar water in there, 08:22.266 --> 08:23.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% but there's plenty of resources. 08:23.566 --> 08:26.966 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% This hive, however, is way too weak. 08:26.966 --> 08:30.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% You almost wanna not be abl to pick it up with two fingers. 08:30.433 --> 08:33.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% So not too bad, not too good. 08:33.433 --> 08:36.100 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% (upbeat music continues) 08:36.100 --> 08:38.800 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% Yeah, this is almost like a nuke now, my goodness. 08:38.800 --> 08:40.633 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% This is really like a three frame nuke. 08:40.633 --> 08:42.300 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% One, two, three, really tiny. 08:42.300 --> 08:43.766 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% Will they survive winter? 08:43.766 --> 08:45.533 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% I don't know. 08:45.533 --> 08:47.900 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% Just a little bit to keep them encouraged. 08:47.900 --> 08:49.433 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% It's gonna be warm enough the next few days 08:49.433 --> 08:51.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that they'll be able to drink it. 08:51.266 --> 08:54.866 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% And then I'm gonna grab another spacer 08:54.866 --> 08:56.766 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and give them some sugar brick. 08:56.766 --> 08:57.766 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% This is just called a shim. 08:57.766 --> 09:00.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% I just make 'em in the backyard. 09:00.066 --> 09:04.966 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% A hive this small will mak it over winter, but not ideal. 09:06.466 --> 09:08.266 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% You can make this at home. 09:08.266 --> 09:09.433 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% Oh, it smells good. 09:09.433 --> 09:11.400 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% It smells like some lemongrass. 09:11.400 --> 09:13.033 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% Hopefully they can defend it. 09:13.033 --> 09:15.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I have the entrance reduced real small. 09:15.433 --> 09:17.000 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% Been a brutal, brutal year. 09:17.000 --> 09:19.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I'm gonna do the two finger, see how heavy. 09:19.666 --> 09:21.500 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% Yeah, they're a little light. 09:21.500 --> 09:22.733 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% They have too much room. 09:22.733 --> 09:25.566 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% Bees like to be crowded, so I'll make 'em crowded. 09:25.566 --> 09:27.800 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% This hive is a fall split. 09:27.800 --> 09:29.133 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% They don't have a lot of resources. 09:29.133 --> 09:30.833 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% Here's a little stand crack, ladies. 09:30.833 --> 09:34.333 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% Hopefully some of these hives are thriving. 09:34.333 --> 09:35.600 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% Yuck, terrible. 09:37.100 --> 09:38.800 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% They're not looking great. 09:38.800 --> 09:41.500 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% And I'll come back soon just to make sure. 09:41.500 --> 09:44.900 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% Worst case, I'll pinch one queen and I'll combine these. 09:44.900 --> 09:46.333 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% That's pretty standard practice. 09:46.333 --> 09:49.800 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% No point hoping that a little tiny hive like that 09:49.800 --> 09:51.500 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% is gonna make it through the winter. 09:51.500 --> 09:55.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% They need numbers to vibrate, move their muscles, 09:55.000 --> 09:56.000 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% and keep warm. 09:56.000 --> 09:57.600 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% They need numbers and they need food. 09:57.600 --> 10:01.433 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% Be keeping is a little demoralizing sometimes. 10:02.300 --> 10:05.033 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% They are gonna reduce size for winter, 10:05.033 --> 10:06.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% but I don't want 'em to reduce size so much 10:06.633 --> 10:08.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that there's no bees. 10:09.566 --> 10:13.466 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% Ow guys, come on, you gotta over winter. 10:13.466 --> 10:14.733 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% Don't sting. 10:14.733 --> 10:16.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% Well at least they're feisty, that's good. 10:16.933 --> 10:18.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Just a little bit of encouragement. 10:18.300 --> 10:20.300 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% I don't want to give 'em a ton, because if it gets cold, 10:20.300 --> 10:23.333 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% then they've got a bunch of cold liquid in there. 10:23.333 --> 10:25.600 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% This is more the kind of stuff I want to give them. 10:25.600 --> 10:27.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Oh, I smell bananas, so they're stinging. 10:27.566 --> 10:28.700 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% That's good. 10:28.700 --> 10:30.800 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% I like when they sting, means they're active. 10:30.800 --> 10:33.800 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% Ow, they're not happy, but it's all right. 10:33.800 --> 10:38.033 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% Would you be if I took your house apart on a cold day? 10:38.033 --> 10:40.533 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% There's a good, there, that's what I like to see. 10:40.533 --> 10:43.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% It's a viable hive, not a dying hive. 10:43.566 --> 10:45.800 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% We've seen some really crappy hives today, 10:45.800 --> 10:48.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and I really shouldn't disturb them too much when it's cold. 10:48.900 --> 10:50.366 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% But this will probably be the last time I'm in them 10:50.366 --> 10:51.633 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% for a while. 10:51.633 --> 10:53.666 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% So I'm gonna give 'em some liquid courage 10:53.666 --> 10:56.733 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% and they'll get a little winter feed. 10:56.733 --> 10:58.566 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% Eat up, ladies. 10:58.566 --> 10:59.766 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% Voila. 10:59.766 --> 11:02.500 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% Now I have to do it to 182 more. 11:04.966 --> 11:08.533 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% (Charlie snarls and sighs) 11:10.533 -->

--> 11:31.766 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% It's pretty cool. 11:31.766 --> 11:32.866 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% We need a bigger table. 11:32.866 --> 11:34.800

beekeepers love to putter and tinker. 11:54.000 --> 11:56.966 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% If I got this in the mail, I'd be pumped. 11:56.966 --> 11:59.533 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% It's like a little Ikea project. 11:59.533 --> 12:03.033 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% So the idea here is this is for urban beekeepers. 12:03.033 --> 12:06.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% So this is for beekeepers that don't have a ton of space, 12:06.166 --> 12:08.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% who want to keep small colonies, 12:08.333 --> 12:09.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% produce a little bit of honey. 12:09.833 --> 12:11.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% The key piece is this chimney. 12:11.200 --> 12:12.866 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% I can't wait to put the chimney together. 12:12.866 --> 12:15.300 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% I think that's the genius part. 12:15.300 --> 12:18.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% So the bees come out like way up high, 12:18.200 --> 12:20.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that way they won't sting our dogs. 12:20.900 --> 12:23.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Ooh, that's starting to look like something. 12:23.000 --> 12:25.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% All right, next we're gonna build this shelf. 12:25.966 --> 12:28.800 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% That goes together nicely. 12:28.800 --> 12:31.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% Oh, Magoo, you've done it again. 12:33.066 --> 12:35.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% All right, so from here we'r gonna be building up, I think. 12:35.300 --> 12:37.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% So I'm gonna take it and put it on the floor, 12:37.000 --> 12:38.133 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% so I'm not reaching up. 12:38.133 --> 12:40.400 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% So now we have our own little table. 12:40.400 --> 12:42.066 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% I'm gonna take this. 12:44.233 --> 12:47.933 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% I'm really much better at taking things apart 12:47.933 --> 12:51.033 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% than putting them together. 12:51.033 --> 12:52.366 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% You got bees in your eaves, 12:52.366 --> 12:55.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% that's when I roll up my sleeves 12:55.566 --> 12:58.033 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% So this gets on top. 12:58.033 --> 12:58.866 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50% Cool. 13:00.133 --> 13:02.533 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% We've got the entrance disc. 13:03.566 --> 13:05.733 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% Everybody in, ventilation. 13:07.733 --> 13:09.266 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% Queen excluder. 13:09.266 --> 13:12.300 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% (tools whir) (upbeat music continues) 13:12.300 --> 13:15.500 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% Wow, this is like a fishbowl. 13:15.500 --> 13:18.666 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% So the bees are gonna go right here. 13:18.666 --> 13:19.933 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% That is pretty cool. 13:19.933 --> 13:23.333 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% Gonna be able to observe the bees. 13:23.333 --> 13:26.633 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% All right, so this is the mesh bottom. 13:26.633 --> 13:29.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% Gotta make sure we don't scratch our sides. 13:29.366 --> 13:31.933 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% (upbeat music continues) 13:31.933 --> 13:34.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I wonder if the bees like plexi on the sides? 13:34.400 --> 13:36.666 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% I'm interested to see that. 13:37.866 --> 13:40.666 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% All right, so this is the varroa catcher, 13:40.666 --> 13:42.033 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% or whatever you call it. 13:42.033 --> 13:43.733 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% This isn't simple to put together, 13:43.733 --> 13:46.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% but it is wonderfully designed. 13:46.566 --> 13:48.533 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% This took like three years to design. 13:48.533 --> 13:50.466 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% They went through 10 different prototypes, 13:50.466 --> 13:52.066 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% all kinds of iterations. 13:52.066 --> 13:55.933 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% I'm excited to see how the bees respond to it, too. 13:55.933 --> 13:59.966 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% This is where all the honey is gonna live. 13:59.966 --> 14:05.033 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% You don't have to have ma skills, but it certainly helps. 14:05.266 --> 14:07.266 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% All right, we're gonna make the chimney. 14:07.266 --> 14:08.766 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% This is where it's at. 14:08.766 --> 14:11.600 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% This is that feature that I'm so keen on. 14:11.600 --> 14:13.633 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% I think this is a great idea. 14:13.633 --> 14:14.466 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50% Bene! 14:17.566 --> 14:19.633 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% These are the bee escapes, 14:19.633 --> 14:22.266 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% so they can get in and out the sides. 14:22.266 --> 14:24.433 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% They just go on like that. 14:26.866 --> 14:29.300 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% So when it's that time of year for honey, 14:29.300 --> 14:31.566 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% you put some foundation in these, 14:31.566 --> 14:33.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and then you just set these right up here, 14:33.533 --> 14:36.433 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% and then these just get covered right up. 14:36.433 --> 14:40.000 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% And you take these out to let the bees go to work 14:40.000 --> 14:41.133 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% with the honey. 14:41.133 --> 14:43.866 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% I feel like a magician, voila. 14:43.866 --> 14:45.366 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% We did it! 14:45.366 --> 14:48.000 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% That was so awesome to see this all come together. 14:48.000 --> 14:50.700 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% And I mean this is a coo idea for a backyard beekeeper, 14:50.700 --> 14:52.166 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% small scale beekeeper. 14:52.166 --> 14:54.066 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% It's not how I work bees particularly, 14:54.066 --> 14:56.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% but I'm gonna give it a shot, and I'm gonna play with it 14:56.233 --> 14:57.566 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% and see how it works. 14:57.566 --> 15:00.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% And I just love how beekeepers in general 15:00.233 --> 15:01.633 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% are just so inventive. 15:01.633 --> 15:04.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% So the entrance, if they guard up this high, 15:04.366 --> 15:06.066 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% it's so much better than if they're guarding 15:06.066 --> 15:08.800 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% right at waist level, which is how we usually have it. 15:08.800 --> 15:09.866 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% So that's kind of unique. 15:09.866 --> 15:12.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% You can see the bees filling your honey. 15:12.233 --> 15:14.533 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% You could open up the side and do a little display. 15:14.533 --> 15:16.366 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% Really neat idea. 15:16.366 --> 15:18.100 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% I'm excited to get it painted, 15:18.100 --> 15:20.533 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% get some bees in it, and see how they do. 15:20.533 --> 15:23.333 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% (honey trickles) 15:23.333 --> 15:25.666 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% (upbeat music begins) 15:25.666 --> 15:26.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% There's the man, how you doing, Chad? 15:26.500 --> 15:27.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - Hey, good morning Charlie. 15:27.566 --> 15:28.633 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% - Good morning, good to meet you. 15:28.633 --> 15:29.666 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% - Good to meet you. 15:29.666 --> 15:30.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - So we got a little bee problem here. 15:30.700 --> 15:31.733 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% - We do, yeah. 15:31.733 --> 15:33.333 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% So this morning we're gonna be removing 15:33.333 --> 15:34.833 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% a really nice hive that we found 15:34.833 --> 15:37.033 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% out of area 15 here in Landa Park. 15:37.033 --> 15:39.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% Certainly from the amount of traffic we get in Landa Park, 15:39.900 --> 15:42.666 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% we wanna make sure that the bees are taken out safely, 15:42.666 --> 15:45.700 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% but also we wanna make sur that our children, or parents, 15:45.700 --> 15:47.166 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% or anybody being in this area 15:47.166 --> 15:49.266 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% that potentially are gonna have any stings 15:49.266 --> 15:50.600 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% or issues with that. 15:50.600 --> 15:52.766 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% So we wanna make sure that the area is cleaned up 15:52.766 --> 15:54.033 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% and safe for them. 15:54.033 --> 15:57.066 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% - I've got the Zen master with me today, Al Fiedle. 15:57.066 --> 16:00.100 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% He's gonna whisper to thes bees and they will come with us. 16:00.100 --> 16:01.633 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% That's how we roll around here, so. 16:01.633 --> 16:02.633 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% - I can't wait to see it, I'm excited. 16:02.633 --> 16:04.966 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% - Oh, they greeted me. 16:04.966 --> 16:06.433 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% - Did they say hello? 16:06.433 --> 16:08.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - It's sort of like a little baptism. 16:08.366 --> 16:12.166 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Welcome to our hive, we hope that hurt. 16:12.166 --> 16:13.266 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% They're a strong hive. 16:13.266 --> 16:14.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% They're doing pretty well up there. 16:14.633 --> 16:18.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% The question is, how much i outside and how much is inside? 16:18.266 --> 16:19.500 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% - This is gonna be fun. 16:19.500 --> 16:20.500 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% - This is gonna be fun. 16:20.500 --> 16:22.500 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% Look at 'em hanging out there. 16:22.500 --> 16:23.500 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% - They're just exposed. 16:23.500 --> 16:25.166 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% They're probably inside the tree too. 16:25.166 --> 16:26.166 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% - I think so. 16:26.166 --> 16:27.200 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% - That'll be the hard part. 16:27.200 --> 16:28.300 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% - That'll be the hard part. 16:28.300 --> 16:29.566 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% There are a lot of people walking around. 16:29.566 --> 16:31.333 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% They are curious. 16:31.333 --> 16:35.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% So we might have folks running a little bit of interference. 16:35.166 --> 16:38.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Bee Mobile is having a hard time right now. 16:38.100 --> 16:41.866 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% It's just not running very well, not shifting very well. 16:41.866 --> 16:43.066 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% It's filthy. 16:43.066 --> 16:44.733 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% I've got my dad's awesome mobile 16:44.733 --> 16:48.133 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% sort of turned it into the Bee Mobile, 16:48.133 --> 16:50.300 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% so I'm kind of in trouble. 16:51.266 --> 16:53.200 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% We're gonna smoke 'em pretty heavy. 16:53.200 --> 16:54.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% If we were out in a pasture somewhere, 16:54.766 --> 16:56.700 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% I wouldn't worry about it so much, 16:56.700 --> 16:58.566 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% but we are among peoples, 16:58.566 --> 17:01.366 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% and so we're gonna hit 'em hard with smoke. 17:01.366 --> 17:03.266 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% The bees will retract. 17:03.266 --> 17:04.766 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% Also give us an idea of what we're seeing 17:04.766 --> 17:06.766 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and then they'll kind of reform. 17:06.766 --> 17:08.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% We're about 25 feet up in the air 17:08.200 --> 17:10.200 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% and we have this arborous ladder we borrowed 17:10.200 --> 17:11.433 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% from the city, which is great. 17:11.433 --> 17:13.333 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% Ultimately we wanna be underneath these bees, 17:13.333 --> 17:16.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% not leaning against the tree and hanging, but working up. 17:16.366 --> 17:17.900 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% So that's gonna be nice. 17:17.900 --> 17:18.733 align:left position:42.5% line:89% size:47.5% Ow! 17:21.033 --> 17:22.066 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% - What happened, Charlie? 17:22.066 --> 17:23.066 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% - Got stung by a bee. 17:23.066 --> 17:24.133 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50% - No! 17:24.133 --> 17:26.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - So we can see a lot more of the comb now. 17:26.033 --> 17:27.266 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% See what the hive looks like. 17:27.266 --> 17:29.600 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% They're definitely inside. 17:29.600 --> 17:31.833 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% All right, they're sufficiently unhappy. 17:31.833 --> 17:32.933 align:left

17:40.566 --> 17:41.433 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% - They got me good. 17:41.433 --> 17:44.166 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% (upbeat music continues) 17:44.166 --> 17:46.333 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% Okay, let's get some bees. 17:47.566 --> 17:49.900 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% That's a lot of bees. 17:49.900 --> 17:52.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% All right, so I'm just gonna reduce numbers to start. 17:52.500 --> 17:54.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Because I see honey at the top here. 17:54.366 --> 17:57.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Oh this is big hive, this is 20, 30. 17:57.333 --> 17:59.133 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% - Even more, probably. 17:59.133 --> 18:00.333 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% - Or more. 18:00.333 --> 18:04.033 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% You could smoke toward me as much as anything. 18:04.033 --> 18:07.700 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% Yeah, I'm smelling bananas already. 18:07.700 --> 18:10.500 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% The thing is, I'm seeing honey all out here. 18:10.500 --> 18:12.300 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% This whole thing could be on the outside, 18:12.300 --> 18:13.800 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% which would really make my day. 18:13.800 --> 18:16.733 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% Honey usually indicates the edge of the hive, so. 18:16.733 --> 18:18.000 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Yep. 18:18.000 --> 18:21.033 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% - I'm gonna start picking it apart. 18:21.033 --> 18:22.400 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% I'm taking a lobe off here. 18:22.400 --> 18:25.300 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% (upbeat music continues) 18:25.300 --> 18:26.400 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% Boy, that would be kind of cool 18:26.400 --> 18:29.333 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% if we didn't have to go inside this thing. 18:29.333 --> 18:30.866 align:left position:30%

all honey. 18:36.066 --> 18:37.166 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% That's crazy. 18:38.533 --> 18:39.500 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50% Yes! 18:39.500 --> 18:40.533 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% - Perfect. 18:40.533 --> 18:41.533 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% - Perfect. 18:41.533 --> 18:43.733 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% Guys, I think we got an open air hive. 18:43.733 --> 18:45.500 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% I don't wanna jinx it, 18:45.500 --> 18:47.633 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% but I'm not seeing much of a cavity yet. 18:47.633 --> 18:49.966 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% I think they just built this in a hollow. 18:49.966 --> 18:53.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Well, I'm guessing, so I don't wanna. 18:54.500 --> 18:56.200 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% Okay, I'm gonna drop it. 18:56.200 --> 18:59.600 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% (upbeat music continues) 18:59.600 --> 19:01.666 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% Good thing I played soccer in high school, 19:01.666 --> 19:03.933 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% not basketball or baseball. 19:05.900 --> 19:07.333 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% Boy, I'm no good. 19:09.066 --> 19:10.366 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% I made one so far. 19:10.366 --> 19:11.466 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% That's pretty lame. 19:11.466 --> 19:13.000 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% - Maybe we should move the bucket. 19:13.000 --> 19:15.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - Well if you move the bucket, I'll probably throw 'em 19:15.033 --> 19:16.466 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% right where the bucket was. 19:16.466 --> 19:19.100 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% (both laugh) 19:19.100 --> 19:20.100 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% Coming down. 19:21.066 --> 19:22.133 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50% Yes! 19:22.133 --> 19:23.466 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% Look at all that honey. 19:23.466 --> 19:25.400 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% Yeah, it goes way back. 19:26.366 --> 19:29.366 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% Yeah, we definitely have to turn this into an abscond. 19:29.366 --> 19:31.566 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% So there's a bunch of bees over here. 19:31.566 --> 19:32.733 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% It can sometimes be an indicator 19:32.733 --> 19:35.600 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% that the queen is hanging out here. 19:35.600 --> 19:38.333 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% - If she is, that means that the hive is not deep. 19:38.333 --> 19:40.200 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - I don't think it's deep anyway 19:40.200 --> 19:43.766 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% but I think there's material back in there. 19:44.800 --> 19:46.066 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% We didn't see much brood, 19:46.066 --> 19:48.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% so I think the brood might be in there, 19:48.600 --> 19:51.233 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% but I think abscond is a good next step. 19:51.233 --> 19:54.033 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% All right, so we did the cutout portion of our show. 19:54.033 --> 19:56.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I think the bees are down in this side. 19:56.366 --> 19:58.533 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% I could feel way down in there, I could feel comb. 19:58.533 --> 20:00.133 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% In fact, I think that's where the babies are. 20:00.133 --> 20:01.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% That's why we saw so much honey hanging out. 20:01.866 --> 20:03.300 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% They just ran outta space. 20:03.300 --> 20:06.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% So I think we convert to a forced abscond here 20:06.400 --> 20:08.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and it's just gonna take us some time. 20:08.300 --> 20:09.133 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% Do you wanna do this, Al? 20:09.133 --> 20:09.966 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% - Yeah, I'll do it. 20:09.966 --> 20:10.800 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% - You sure? 20:10.800 --> 20:11.733 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% - You take five. 20:11.733 --> 20:13.666 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% - I'll take five. 20:13.666 --> 20:14.866 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% You feeling okay up there? 20:14.866 --> 20:15.866 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Yeah. 20:15.866 --> 20:18.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - Be careful not to get it stuck, Al, 20:18.000 --> 20:19.866 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% and don't torque yourself off the ladder. 20:19.866 --> 20:24.933 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% (tools whir) (upbeat music continues) 20:24.933 --> 20:25.900 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% There you go. 20:25.900 --> 20:26.933 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% - Into it. 20:26.933 --> 20:27.766 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55% - Great. 20:28.633 --> 20:31.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% We can switch, Al, I'll com up with some smoke and a scope. 20:31.600 --> 20:32.933 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% You see any smoke coming outta here? 20:32.933 --> 20:34.033 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55% Oh I do. 20:34.033 --> 20:35.900 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% - Oh yeah, very light. 20:35.900 --> 20:37.733 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - Little bit, that's all right. 20:37.733 --> 20:39.800 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% I'm gonna back up all those bees 20:39.800 --> 20:42.433 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% So I'm being very un-Stan Gore 20:42.433 --> 20:45.600 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% and not being patient with trying to find the queen, 20:45.600 --> 20:47.600 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% because there's just, we're 25 feet up, 20:47.600 --> 20:50.233 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% and one of our onlookers already got stung, 20:50.233 --> 20:52.400 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% so we don't need that. 20:52.400 --> 20:55.833 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% (upbeat music continues) 20:58.233 --> 21:00.266 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% This kind of indicates an abscond, 21:00.266 --> 21:01.933 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% the way they're hanging out here 21:01.933 --> 21:04.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I mean if we were Zen masters like Stan Gore, 21:04.500 --> 21:06.200 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% we'd be looking for the queen. 21:06.200 --> 21:08.200 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% I'm looking for her, but boy, 21:08.200 --> 21:10.133 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% I just gotta get these numbers down. 21:10.133 --> 21:11.933 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% That's all I'm worried about right now. 21:11.933 --> 21:14.166 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% There's so many people walking around. 21:14.166 --> 21:16.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I'm gonna finish this hole I started if I can. 21:16.433 --> 21:21.433 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% (tools whir) (upbeat music continues) 21:23.300 --> 21:25.633 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% I don't think this hole made it through. 21:25.633 --> 21:29.933 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% No, I think we got enough of an abscond, though. 21:29.933 --> 21:31.900 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% They just keep coming out though, there's a lot of bees. 21:31.900 --> 21:33.300 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% It's like a clown car. 21:33.300 --> 21:35.533 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% I think we switched the back out too, 21:35.533 --> 21:37.400 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% because it's getting heavy. 21:37.400 --> 21:39.100 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% Besides already getting heavy with bees, 21:39.100 --> 21:41.766 align:left position:17.5% line:83%

all gunked up. 21:54.866 --> 21:59.833 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% It was still drawing bees but they were getting clogged. 21:59.833 --> 22:01.333 align:left position:10% line:89%

24:36.300 --> 24:37.300 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Sure. 24:37.300 --> 24:37.966 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% - So it's really important for us. 24:38.300 -->

--> 24:52.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% We bought it in 2008 and I had really no idea 24:52.500 --> 24:54.666 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% about floristry, and I shadowed and learned, 24:54.666 --> 24:56.600 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% and the previous owner taught me a lot. 24:56.600 --> 24:59.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Emma came in 2020 to help us out, 24:59.766 --> 25:03.233 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% and she's brought in some new, not only modern vibes, 25:03.233 --> 25:05.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% but she's taught me a lot about sustainability 25:05.966 --> 25:07.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and the environment. 25:07.333 --> 25:09.466 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% - So you're like a filthy hippie, like me. 25:09.466 --> 25:10.466 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% - I am, I really. 25:10.466 --> 25:11.866 align:left

size:75% (upbeat music continues) 25:14.800 --> 25:16.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% After a little chinwag, it's time to check out the home 25:16.733 --> 25:18.300 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% for their new bees. 25:19.733 --> 25:21.733 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% Oh, this is perfect. 25:21.733 --> 25:22.733 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% This is gonna be great. 25:22.733 --> 25:23.733 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% Okay, cool. 25:23.933 --> 25:26.766 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% Got a nice spot right in downtown New Braunfels. 25:26.766 --> 25:28.700 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% We've got the plaza right there. 25:28.700 --> 25:30.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% We've got the bakery right across the street. 25:30.866 --> 25:31.900 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% - Oldest bakery in Texas. 25:31.900 --> 25:33.266 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% - Oldest bakery in Texas. 25:33.266 --> 25:34.400 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% Lots of good forage. 25:34.400 --> 25:36.000 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% So let's look at the compass. 25:36.000 --> 25:38.900 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% That's north, that's south. 25:38.900 --> 25:41.133 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% So the sun's going down over there. 25:41.133 --> 25:43.266 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% So I'm thinking I set the bees here, 25:43.266 --> 25:45.233 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and morning light is this way. 25:45.233 --> 25:47.833 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% So I want them to go out toward the morning light. 25:47.833 --> 25:50.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% So we'll face their entrance kind of out this way 25:50.566 --> 25:52.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and they should do just fine. 25:52.733 --> 25:53.566 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% - Awesome. 25:53.566 --> 25:54.400 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% - All right, cool. 25:54.400 --> 25:55.366 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Yeah. 25:55.366 --> 25:56.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - Well I'll load everything up here 25:56.333 --> 25:57.466 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% and get you suited up. 25:57.466 --> 25:58.466 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% - All right. 25:58.466 --> 25:59.466 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% - And we'll get dirty in the bees. 25:59.466 --> 26:00.300 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% - Very cool. 26:00.300 --> 26:01.200 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% - Have some fun. 26:01.200 --> 26:02.033 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - I'm excited, all right, cool. 26:02.033 --> 26:02.900 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% - Awesome. 26:02.900 --> 26:06.333 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% (upbeat music continues) 26:07.400 --> 26:09.400 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% Here's the honeybees. 26:09.400 --> 26:12.466 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% All right, so let's meet these poor, unhappy bees. 26:12.466 --> 26:13.466 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% - All right. 26:13.666 --> 26:15.266 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% - They're unhappy 'cause it's so cold out today. 26:15.266 --> 26:17.333 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% So this is just a tiny little swarm. 26:17.333 --> 26:19.166 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% So that's a frame of honey I've given 'em. 26:19.166 --> 26:20.033 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% See where they've eaten it? 26:20.033 --> 26:20.866 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Yeah. 26:20.866 --> 26:21.700 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% - See those openings? 26:21.700 --> 26:22.533 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Yeah. 26:22.533 --> 26:23.466 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% - They've eaten that. 26:23.466 --> 26:24.300 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% - So cool. 26:24.300 --> 26:25.133 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55% - Right? 26:25.133 --> 26:25.966 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% - There's so many. 26:25.966 --> 26:26.800 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - So this is all honey here. 26:26.800 --> 26:28.566 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% So I'll put this in here. 26:28.566 --> 26:29.966 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% - All right. 26:29.966 --> 26:32.366 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - You're fearless, I love it. 26:32.366 --> 26:34.333 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% And I see a big fat queen already. 26:34.333 --> 26:35.333 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% - Awesome. 26:35.333 --> 26:36.166 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - Look for her, you see her? 26:36.166 --> 26:37.000 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% - Is that her? 26:37.000 --> 26:37.833 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% - That's her. 26:37.833 --> 26:38.666 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% - That's her. 26:38.666 --> 26:39.633 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% She's a queen bee. 26:39.833 --> 26:41.400 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% - She's beautiful, she's a light colored queen. 26:41.400 --> 26:42.400 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% - She is beautiful. 26:42.400 --> 26:43.566 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% - I bet this is a queen 26:43.566 --> 26:45.433 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% that came from somebody's nice apiary, 26:45.433 --> 26:47.166 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% 'cause this is a swarm. 26:47.166 --> 26:48.500 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% So this is good news. 26:48.500 --> 26:51.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% But they've got this nice frame of drawn comb. 26:51.400 --> 26:52.466 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% They'll like that. 26:52.466 --> 26:54.433 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% It's a really tiny hive. 26:54.433 --> 26:58.333 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% We're hoping we can just help them to survive winter. 26:58.333 --> 26:59.533 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% And you can grab the last frame. 26:59.533 --> 27:00.600 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Okay. 27:00.600 --> 27:01.633 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% This is so cool. 27:01.633 --> 27:02.833 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% - You can put that right in there. 27:02.833 --> 27:03.666 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Okay. 27:03.900 --> 27:06.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - Let's just put that right in the middle. 27:06.533 --> 27:08.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - So how many bees do you think are in here? 27:08.366 --> 27:09.666 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% - Probably 1,000. 27:09.666 --> 27:10.500 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Wow. 27:10.800 --> 27:11.866 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% - Something like that, not that many, really. 27:11.866 --> 27:13.533 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% A big hive is 50,000. 27:13.533 --> 27:14.666 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55% - Oh wow. 27:14.666 --> 27:18.466 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% - So the bee box is kind of a unique setup. 27:18.466 --> 27:20.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% So this is the honey system they use. 27:20.666 --> 27:24.700 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% When the bees fill this up, well, we can take this out. 27:24.700 --> 27:25.533 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% - All right. 27:25.933 --> 27:27.466 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% - And then the bees can come up and they make honey, 27:27.466 --> 27:29.233 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% and these frames got a little water on it, 27:29.233 --> 27:31.633 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% and we'll put a little foundation in the frames 27:31.633 --> 27:33.033 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% to encourage them to do that, 27:33.033 --> 27:34.066 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% and then they build it up, 27:34.066 --> 27:36.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and then that will be literally comb honey. 27:36.400 --> 27:37.600 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% I think it goes like that. 27:37.600 --> 27:38.633 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50% Yep. 27:38.633 --> 27:40.466 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% That just sets. 27:40.466 --> 27:41.966 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% You're in the bee business. 27:41.966 --> 27:43.066 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% - All right, I love it. 27:43.066 --> 27:46.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - Nobody got stung or killed, that was good. 27:46.500 --> 27:47.500 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% - No, they were very calm. 27:47.500 --> 27:48.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - And here's the cool part, too. 27:48.566 --> 27:50.866 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% This is a little display hive. 27:50.866 --> 27:51.966 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55% - Oh wow. 27:51.966 --> 27:53.500 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% - So we can see what's going on in there. 27:53.500 --> 27:54.733 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - So you can see them go to work 27:54.733 --> 27:56.333 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% - How do you feel about having bees on your roof? 27:56.333 --> 27:58.100 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - I love it, I think it's so coo 27:58.100 --> 27:59.366 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% - Awesome. 27:59.366 --> 28:01.800 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% Fingers crossed, come back in spring. 28:01.800 --> 28:02.833 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Okay. 28:02.833 --> 28:03.833 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% - And that queen takes off building 28:03.833 --> 28:05.033 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% and you get a nice big, strong hive. 28:05.033 --> 28:06.033 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Wow. 28:06.033 --> 28:07.000 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% - I think it'll be cool. 28:07.000 --> 28:08.066 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% - Awesome. 28:08.066 --> 28:09.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - All right, you ready for this? 28:09.066 --> 28:10.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - I'm ready, I'm so excited. 28:10.400 --> 28:13.100 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% - Cool, we'll close them in and say a little bee prayer 28:13.100 --> 28:14.866 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% that they get strong and healthy 28:14.866 --> 28:15.700 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Yep. 28:20.866 --> 28:23.666 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% - Big day today, I got Rob Palla coming from Laura Bees. 28:23.666 --> 28:26.100 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% He is the oxalic man. 28:26.100 --> 28:29.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% He's got this awesome battery operated oxalic vaporizer. 28:29.700 --> 28:32.233 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% So we've got a couple yards that are ready for treatment. 28:32.233 --> 28:34.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% So we're gonna test the unit. 28:34.566 --> 28:35.566 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% How's it going, Rob? 28:35.566 --> 28:36.566 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% - Good, man, how are you? 28:36.566 --> 28:37.600 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - Good, thanks for coming out. 28:37.600 --> 28:38.566 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% I appreciate it. 28:38.566 --> 28:39.566 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% First time in Texas? 28:39.566 --> 28:40.566 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% - Yep, first time. 28:40.566 --> 28:41.566 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% First time. 28:41.833 --> 28:43.833 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% - Awesome, I hear I'm gonna get my oxalic on today. 28:43.833 --> 28:45.000 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% - I hear you're having some issues 28:45.000 --> 28:46.166 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% with some noisy generators around the bees. 28:46.166 --> 28:48.366 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% So we have a new battery powered product 28:48.366 --> 28:49.366 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% that we'll share with you. 28:49.366 --> 28:50.500 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% - How'd you get into this? 28:50.500 --> 28:52.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - So we started as a small beekeeping operation 28:52.200 --> 28:53.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% just a few years ago, 28:53.333 --> 28:55.466 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% and then we ended up, out of necessity, 28:55.466 --> 28:57.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% coming up with this product to treat bees 28:57.966 --> 29:00.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% that evolved into this battery unit just outta necessity. 29:00.566 --> 29:02.300 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% So that's what we do now. 29:02.300 --> 29:04.500 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% - Treating all 200 hives is an arduous process. 29:04.500 --> 29:07.333 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% It can take me a week to get around to every hive. 29:07.333 --> 29:09.733 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% With each hive needing several rounds of treatment. 29:09.733 --> 29:12.266 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% We're talking about months of work during winter. 29:12.266 --> 29:15.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% So anything that can speed u this process would be awesome. 29:15.100 --> 29:16.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - So I think it's a perfect fit 29:16.266 --> 29:17.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% for what you're trying to do. 29:17.533 --> 29:19.633 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% - All right, cool, well I got some bees here. 29:19.633 --> 29:22.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% Let's get suited up and let's get in and find some trouble. 29:22.500 --> 29:23.333 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% You ready? 29:23.333 --> 29:24.166 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% - I'm excited. 29:24.166 --> 29:24.966 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% - All right, let's do it. 29:24.966 --> 29:26.533 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% - All right. 29:26.533 --> 29:30.533 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% (upbeat music continues) 29:30.533 --> 29:31.533 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% - Look at that. 29:31.533 --> 29:33.066 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% That looks very futuristic. 29:33.066 --> 29:36.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - Yeah, there you go, so that's the new Instant Map 18 volt. 29:36.666 --> 29:37.666 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% Pull the plunger out. 29:37.666 --> 29:38.500 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% - Yep, okay. 29:38.500 --> 29:39.333 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% - That's your plunger. 29:39.700 --> 29:41.966 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% This is how you add your dosage higher and lower. 29:41.966 --> 29:43.666 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% You've got your one, two, three, four. 29:43.666 --> 29:44.800 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Okay. 29:44.800 --> 29:46.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - And you spin that, it's a fine thread screw. 29:46.300 --> 29:48.933 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% So you'll see that yo created a cavity by doing that 29:48.933 --> 29:49.933 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% in the bottom. 29:49.933 --> 29:51.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% You'll see when you operate the plunger. 29:51.300 --> 29:52.433 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Wow. 29:52.433 --> 29:53.600 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% - It just pushes that. 29:53.600 --> 29:56.000 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% - So I'm gonna go into oxalic, put it in here, 29:56.000 --> 29:57.400 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% and then I go puff. 29:57.400 --> 29:59.000 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% Do I have to hold that down? 29:59.000 --> 30:00.000 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Nope. 30:00.000 --> 30:01.966 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% - So tell me about oxalic in general. 30:01.966 --> 30:03.166 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% What is it and how does it work? 30:03.166 --> 30:04.766 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% - Essentially all you're doing as a beekeeper 30:04.766 --> 30:07.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% is increasing the levels of oxalic acid 30:07.166 --> 30:08.533 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% naturally in the beehive. 30:08.533 --> 30:11.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% Raising that threshold to kill the mites, but not the bees. 30:11.233 --> 30:12.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - It's hard to kill a bug on a bug, right? 30:12.766 --> 30:14.033 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% - It's very difficult. 30:14.033 --> 30:17.233 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% Oxalic acid is one of the least abrasive treatments 30:17.233 --> 30:18.366 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% on the market right now. 30:18.366 --> 30:19.566 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% - And I've been doing that. 30:19.566 --> 30:22.466 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I think, too, as ne beekeepers, it's overwhelming. 30:22.466 --> 30:24.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% There's all these different strategies. 30:24.166 --> 30:25.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% There's all kinds of philosophies. 30:25.966 --> 30:29.433 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% People are very passionat about treatment, non-treatment. 30:29.433 --> 30:31.133 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% What is the right thing to do? 30:31.133 --> 30:33.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - So I actually have recently acquired 30:33.366 --> 30:36.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% a lot of those beekeepers who want to be treatment free, 30:36.633 --> 30:38.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% because the studies that came out 30:38.000 --> 30:40.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% showing that when you treat with oxalic acid, 30:40.766 --> 30:43.466 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% the level of OA found in honey is raised 30:43.466 --> 30:46.366 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% by such a small percent, that it's almost negligible. 30:46.366 --> 30:48.166 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% People are starting to convert over to it 30:48.166 --> 30:49.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% because it's one of those things 30:49.566 --> 30:50.666 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% that's already in the beehive. 30:50.666 --> 30:52.133 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% Again, you're just raising the level. 30:52.133 --> 30:53.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - So this is a life changer for me. 30:53.633 --> 30:54.633 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% I'm serious. 30:54.900 --> 30:58.966 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% I have yards where I've got a 30, 40, 50 yard walk. 30:58.966 --> 31:00.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I love my generator, but it's heavy, 31:00.933 --> 31:02.266 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and it's just a lot of work. 31:02.266 --> 31:04.166 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% So this means I can just put this in my toolkit 31:04.166 --> 31:05.233 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% and off we go. 31:05.566 --> 31:07.200 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% - Yeah, I really think thi will be a good solution for you. 31:07.200 --> 31:08.233 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Yeah. 31:08.233 --> 31:09.233 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% - It's been on and heating 31:09.233 --> 31:10.300 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% and we've had a whole conversation. 31:10.300 --> 31:11.300 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% - You had said it takes a little while. 31:11.300 --> 31:12.433 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% That's not a little while for me 31:12.433 --> 31:13.433 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% That's fine, that's perfect. 31:13.433 --> 31:14.466 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% That's a couple minutes. 31:14.466 --> 31:16.133 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% We got our four hives here. 31:16.133 --> 31:17.100 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% They all need treatment. 31:17.100 --> 31:18.100 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% I'll follow your lead. 31:18.100 --> 31:21.066 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% (upbeat music begins) 31:21.066 --> 31:22.333 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - All right, that's all you do. 31:22.333 --> 31:23.900 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% You've already preset your plunger 31:23.900 --> 31:25.433 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% just by twisting the end of it. 31:25.433 --> 31:26.466 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Yep. 31:26.466 --> 31:28.333 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% - Stick it into your OA. 31:28.333 --> 31:31.033 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% You'll see that it fills the end of the plunger. 31:31.033 --> 31:33.066 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% And then we'll just do a simulated treatment here 31:33.066 --> 31:34.333 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% so I can show you how it works. 31:34.333 --> 31:35.366 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% - That's great. 31:35.366 --> 31:36.366 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% - I always suggest people do this just 31:36.366 --> 31:37.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% so they know what they're doing. 31:37.366 --> 31:38.400 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Okay. 31:38.400 --> 31:41.000 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - You take it, you stick it in. 31:41.000 --> 31:43.466 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% - Oh, that's awesome. 31:43.466 --> 31:46.466 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% - You just take, pull you plunger out, go for the next one 31:46.466 --> 31:48.333 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% There's no need to wait for anything to cool. 31:48.333 --> 31:49.800 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% No need to flip any switches. 31:49.800 --> 31:50.766 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Cool. 31:50.766 --> 31:52.600 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% - As fast as you can go, it can go. 31:52.600 --> 31:53.933 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% Just load it up. 31:55.433 --> 31:58.000 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% All the way in, all the way in. 31:59.966 --> 32:01.966 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% - Wow, that is so cool. 32:02.800 --> 32:04.300 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% That makes it easy. 32:04.300 --> 32:06.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - All right, so we're just gonna do what we did on the table 32:06.200 --> 32:07.200 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% into the bees. 32:07.200 --> 32:08.233 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% - Into the bees. 32:08.233 --> 32:11.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - Stick the plunger in and press 32:11.466 --> 32:13.900 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% - It's a much thicker cloud than I get out of mine. 32:13.900 --> 32:15.833 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% - It's a lot of vapor comes out of this. 32:15.833 --> 32:17.900 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% - The bees don't love it, but that's just. 32:17.900 --> 32:18.966 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% - The nature of the bees. 32:18.966 --> 32:20.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - Yeah, nobody likes taking their medicine. 32:20.900 --> 32:22.633 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - They like mites a lot less. 32:22.633 --> 32:23.633 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% - Yeah, that's right. 32:23.633 --> 32:25.166 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% Does this get hot? 32:25.166 --> 32:26.000 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% A little bit, right? 32:26.000 --> 32:26.833 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Yeah. 32:27.200 --> 32:29.033 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% With your thin gloves, yeah, just be mindful it. 32:29.033 --> 32:31.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% The piece that you're holding right now won't, 32:31.133 --> 32:32.233 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% but the bottom can. 32:32.233 --> 32:34.400 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% (upbeat music continues) 32:34.400 --> 32:36.133 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% - No generator, no cords. 32:36.133 --> 32:37.733 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% This is gonna save me so much time, 32:37.733 --> 32:39.200 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% going yard to yard to yard. 32:39.200 --> 32:41.566 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% These bees are feisty, I know for sure. 32:41.566 --> 32:45.500 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% So they're not gonna be happy about this at all. 32:45.500 --> 32:47.133 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% All right, whew. 32:47.133 --> 32:48.133 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% - And there you have it. 32:48.133 --> 32:49.200 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% - There we go. 32:49.200 --> 32:53.066 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% One yard down, we can move to the next. 32:53.066 --> 32:56.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% Oh, don't grab the hot part, Charlie. 32:56.500 --> 32:57.833 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% (Charlie laughs) 32:57.833 --> 33:00.733 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% (bees buzz) 33:00.733 --> 33:02.766 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% (upbeat music continues) 33:02.766 --> 33:05.166 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% So this is a classic yard of mine, I got 10 hives. 33:05.166 --> 33:06.866 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% Boom, boom, boom, boom, one at a time. 33:06.866 --> 33:09.100 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% And this is all I need. 33:09.100 --> 33:10.766 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% Boom, boom, smoking. 33:11.766 --> 33:14.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - This is gonna be so great for your operation. 33:14.100 --> 33:16.800 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - Oh man, it'll make me treat more regularly 33:16.800 --> 33:18.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% when it's less of a pain in the butt. 33:18.733 --> 33:20.600 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% Man, I'm just going to rock and roll here. 33:20.600 --> 33:21.600 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% Is that cool? 33:21.600 --> 33:22.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - That's what it's designed for. 33:22.466 --> 33:23.300 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% - That's great. 33:23.300 --> 33:24.566 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% - Right down the line. 33:24.566 --> 33:27.800 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% (upbeat music continues) 33:27.800 --> 33:29.800 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - Oh man, this is so much easier 33:29.800 --> 33:31.000 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% It's just portable. 33:31.000 --> 33:33.366 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% So many places where I have to carry this around, 33:33.366 --> 33:35.900 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% and instead of loading up a generator, and cords, 33:35.900 --> 33:37.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and all this stuff, this thing fits in a little briefcase, 33:37.933 --> 33:40.466 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% batteries and all, and I just go yard to yard. 33:40.466 --> 33:43.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% This is like revolutionizing my little operation here. 33:43.333 --> 33:45.500 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% I love that we're pissing off some bees. 33:45.500 --> 33:46.500 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% This is great. 33:46.500 --> 33:47.866 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - Pissing off some mites, too. 33:47.866 --> 33:49.766 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% - Yeah, pissing off some mites in the process, too. 33:49.766 --> 33:50.966 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55% Last one. 33:50.966 --> 33:51.866 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% - Last one. 33:53.166 --> 33:54.333 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% - Boom, done. 33:54.333 --> 33:55.733 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% That was seven minutes? 33:55.733 --> 33:57.533 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% How many minutes per hive, right? 33:57.533 --> 33:59.066 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% I mean seconds per hive. 33:59.066 --> 34:00.266 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - And you're onto the next yard. 34:00.266 --> 34:01.833 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% - You are helping a lot of beekeepers. 34:01.833 --> 34:03.533 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% - I went from somebody who could help 34:03.533 --> 34:07.833 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% with my 20 to 40 colonies that I run a year to 200,000. 34:07.833 --> 34:08.933 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% - That's awesome. 34:08.933 --> 34:10.566 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% - It's incredible. 34:10.566 --> 34:11.633 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% - Now you have 200,200. 34:11.633 --> 34:12.800 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% - There you go. 34:12.800 --> 34:13.766 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% - Thanks to

man. 34:15.900 --> 34:17.633 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% All right, let's get some lunch. 34:17.633 --> 34:18.633 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% - All right. 34:21.066 --> 34:23.000 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% (honey drizzles) 34:23.000 --> 34:26.166 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% - We are here at Animal World Snake Farm and Zoo, 34:26.166 --> 34:27.500 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% just south of New Braunfels. 34:27.500 --> 34:29.100 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% I love this place. 34:29.100 --> 34:30.900 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% We're gonna get a behind the scenes tour of it, 34:30.900 --> 34:33.800 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% but we're really here to set up swarm traps. 34:33.800 --> 34:35.333 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% There's no bees here right now, 34:35.333 --> 34:37.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% but this season the bees are reproducing 34:37.600 --> 34:39.200 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and they're coming in full force 34:39.200 --> 34:40.666 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% So we're setting up a lure box 34:40.666 --> 34:42.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% so that we can catch those bees on the move. 34:42.766 --> 34:45.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% No bees yet, so the wife is joining me. 34:45.900 --> 34:47.366 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% The queen bee's gonna be here. 34:47.366 --> 34:49.966 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% She's kind of been out because of her allergy. 34:49.966 --> 34:51.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% We're not touching bees today. 34:51.466 --> 34:52.766 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% We're setting up the swarm trap, 34:52.766 --> 34:54.333 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% we're gonna learn a little bit about the snake farm. 34:54.333 --> 34:57.966 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% We are gonna get jiggy with the wild animals. 34:57.966 --> 35:00.366 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% Kay heard we were coming, she's like, "I wanna go!" 35:00.366 --> 35:01.733 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% - Are you a snake man? 35:01.733 --> 35:02.866 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% - We love critters. 35:02.866 --> 35:04.566 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% - Well we got cute, cuddly stuff here, too. 35:04.566 --> 35:07.233 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% - I like that better, but. 35:07.233 --> 35:08.866 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% - I hear we've been having some bee issues. 35:08.866 --> 35:10.900 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - We have, not so much right now 35:10.900 --> 35:12.766 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% but definitely when it starts to warm up 35:12.766 --> 35:15.300 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% and we sell ice cream, those bees just come in. 35:15.300 --> 35:17.366 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% But we wanna make sure they're well taken care of. 35:17.366 --> 35:19.833 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% - The hope is to capture bees on the move, right? 35:19.833 --> 35:21.533 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% So bees that are looking for a new home, 35:21.533 --> 35:22.833 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% they're gonna move into that box 35:22.833 --> 35:24.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and then when they do, y'all can tell me, I come out, 35:24.733 --> 35:26.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% whisk them away and then set it back up, catch another. 35:26.900 --> 35:27.733 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% - Fantastic. 35:27.733 --> 35:28.566 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% - Yeah, it'll be great. 35:28.933 --> 35:30.066 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% We'll grab that trap and we'll meet you in there. 35:30.066 --> 35:31.066 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% - Fantastic. 35:31.066 --> 35:31.900 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% - Awesome. 35:32.900 --> 35:34.800 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% Put this baby together. 35:35.766 --> 35:38.533 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% This is the interceptor swarm trap. 35:38.533 --> 35:41.733 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% When bees swarm, they're looking for a new home, 35:41.733 --> 35:43.400 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% and this is their new home. 35:43.400 --> 35:44.866 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% Bees will swarm. 35:44.866 --> 35:47.866 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% It's sort of like telling teenagers not to make out, 35:47.866 --> 35:48.866 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% you know what I mean? 35:49.066 --> 35:51.433 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% Like their drive to reproduce is just as strong 35:51.433 --> 35:53.200 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% as a hormonal teenager. 35:53.200 --> 35:56.733 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% These are vents, these are so the bees can have air 35:56.733 --> 35:58.200 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% when they move in. 35:58.200 --> 36:01.400 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% Bees are very sensitive to temperature. 36:01.400 --> 36:03.333 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% They like to be able to control the temperature, 36:03.333 --> 36:04.900 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% and that means ventilation. 36:04.900 --> 36:07.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% So they won't move into a space that's not well ventilated. 36:07.900 --> 36:09.666 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% Then here is the hanger. 36:09.666 --> 36:13.133 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% This hanger goes right in like that 36:13.133 --> 36:14.933 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% and then goes up like that. 36:14.933 --> 36:16.600 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% This is the entrance. 36:16.600 --> 36:18.633 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% So this pops in here like that, 36:18.633 --> 36:21.100 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and that just hangs down open. 36:21.100 --> 36:23.566 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% So the bees find it, and then once they move in, 36:23.566 --> 36:27.800 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% to transport 'em, you jus close it up and take 'em away. 36:27.800 --> 36:30.633 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% So we'll put these frames in here. 36:32.566 --> 36:34.966 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. 36:34.966 --> 36:35.800 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50% Woo! 36:37.300 --> 36:38.300 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% Oh, thank you, boo. 36:38.300 --> 36:39.400 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Sure. 36:39.400 --> 36:40.733 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% Age before beauty. 36:40.733 --> 36:44.466 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% (upbeat music continues) 36:44.466 --> 36:46.100 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% Oh, baby, what? 36:46.100 --> 36:47.933 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - Look at this place, I love it. 36:47.933 --> 36:50.000 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% - While formerly known as just snake farm, 36:50.000 --> 36:52.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% we actually have all kinds of animals out here. 36:52.200 --> 36:56.333 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% Everything from monkeys, lama, zebras, hyenas, 36:56.333 --> 36:59.133 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% mountain lions, large white lions. 36:59.133 --> 37:00.200 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5% Pretty much we have something 37:00.200 --> 37:02.833 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% for every animal lover out there. 37:02.833 --> 37:04.633 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% - I could spend all day admiring these critters, 37:04.633 --> 37:06.000 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% but before I get carried away, 37:06.000 --> 37:08.533 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% I gotta help these people with their bee problem. 37:08.533 --> 37:10.733 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% That looks like a good spot over there, that tree. 37:10.733 --> 37:12.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - All the snakes are inside, right? 37:12.933 --> 37:15.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - Let us know if you see one. 37:15.800 --> 37:17.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% So how exactly does that work? 37:17.900 --> 37:19.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - I could really hang anything that's a box 37:19.966 --> 37:21.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and put a lure in it. 37:21.200 --> 37:23.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% But this is kind of specially designed. 37:23.200 --> 37:24.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% It's the right kind of space 37:24.700 --> 37:25.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that they're looking for, actually. 37:25.900 --> 37:27.766 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% These are regular frames for a beehive. 37:27.766 --> 37:30.600 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% That's that's a plasti foundation, it's got wax on it. 37:30.600 --> 37:32.200 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% I threw one frame in here 37:32.200 --> 37:34.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that has a little bit of drawn wax and honey. 37:34.733 --> 37:36.500 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% They'll really like that. 37:36.500 --> 37:41.433 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% And then down in the botto of this, this is a swarm lure. 37:41.433 --> 37:44.500 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% So this just goes inside here 37:44.500 --> 37:46.500 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% and that'll attract them. 37:46.500 --> 37:47.966 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% They'll like this smell of this. 37:47.966 --> 37:49.566 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% Bees are very scent driven. 37:49.566 --> 37:51.000 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% When they're looking for a home, 37:51.000 --> 37:54.133 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% they're in what's called bivouac, a big cluster of bees, 37:54.133 --> 37:55.633 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% you might have seen one at some point, 37:55.633 --> 37:58.000 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% come here and smell this box, 37:58.000 --> 37:59.766 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% and we're gonna put the lure in here, 37:59.766 --> 38:02.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and they're gonna go back and tell their 10,000 friends, 38:02.166 --> 38:04.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% "Hey you guys, we got the spot." 38:04.000 --> 38:05.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% So they're gonna move in here 38:05.133 --> 38:07.500 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% and then once they move in, 38:07.500 --> 38:11.266 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% all I have to do really is just close this up 38:12.766 --> 38:16.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% at dusk or dawn, and then I just take it away. 38:16.133 --> 38:17.100 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55% - Sweet. 38:17.100 --> 38:18.700 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - Take it out to the bee yard. 38:18.700 --> 38:19.966 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% You're okay with a spike in this 38:19.966 --> 38:20.966 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Sure. 38:20.966 --> 38:22.600 align:left position:20%

38:33.833 --> 38:37.666 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% and then the strap, pass this around the back. 38:39.566 --> 38:41.433 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% I think that'll be fine. 38:41.433 --> 38:43.833 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% And then this is stuff that I use all the time. 38:43.833 --> 38:46.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% It's called Swarm Commander. 38:46.466 --> 38:47.533 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% You can smell this. 38:47.533 --> 38:49.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% It smells a little bit like lemongrass. 38:49.266 --> 38:52.033 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% So what we're gonna do is just put a little pump, 38:52.033 --> 38:56.333 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% a few pumps on this Q-tip, and then we're gonna say, 38:58.166 --> 39:01.033 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% "Hey, this is where you should go, ladies." 39:01.033 --> 39:04.766 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% Drop it right in there and then we're good to go. 39:04.766 --> 39:05.966 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% - So how do I know? 39:05.966 --> 39:07.600 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% - The bees are coming in? 39:07.600 --> 39:08.600 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Yeah. 39:08.600 --> 39:09.633 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% - You'll see bees coming in and out. 39:09.633 --> 39:10.633 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Okay. 39:10.633 --> 39:12.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - I mean, if we waited here long enough, 39:12.233 --> 39:15.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% it wouldn't be unusual to see a bee find this immediately. 39:15.733 --> 39:19.166 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% When bees move in, I almost consider it like a blessing 39:19.166 --> 39:20.200 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% or something. 39:20.200 --> 39:21.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% It's kind of, it's an event, rig 39:21.466 --> 39:22.533 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% They're not like cockroaches. 39:22.533 --> 39:23.966 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% They don't just move in everywhere. 39:23.966 --> 39:25.133 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Yeah. 39:25.133 --> 39:26.766 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% - You're in the middle of a reproductive event 39:26.766 --> 39:28.300 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% of a super organism. 39:28.300 --> 39:31.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% So this queen leaves and then they go find another place, 39:31.533 --> 39:33.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% then back in the hive they make a new queen, 39:33.766 --> 39:36.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and she mates locally and then they repopulate. 39:36.200 --> 39:37.933 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% So that's their reproductive goal. 39:37.933 --> 39:38.966 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55% - Got it. 39:38.966 --> 39:40.000 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% - Is to make more hives. 39:40.000 --> 39:42.400 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% - These are bees that don't have a hive. 39:42.400 --> 39:44.266 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% - These are bees looking for a home. 39:44.266 --> 39:45.366 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55% - Got it. 39:45.366 --> 39:47.566 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% -

39:57.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% This is like a queen-friendly place. 39:57.666 --> 39:59.466 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% Maybe there've been bees here before, 39:59.466 --> 40:01.700 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% and you'll see 'em coming in and out, in and out. 40:01.700 --> 40:03.600 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% Just call me,

42:43.166 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% - While this place is now known for its furry friends, 42:43.166 --> 42:45.366 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% they originally started out as a snake farm, 42:45.366 --> 42:49.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and I'm about to get my hands on the biggest snake here. 42:49.200 --> 42:50.200 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% There he is. 42:50.200 --> 42:51.700 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% Oh my goodness. 42:51.700 --> 42:52.700 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% - All right, y'all ready? 42:52.700 --> 42:53.700 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Yeah. 42:53.700 --> 42:55.533 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% - Okay, ladies first. 42:55.533 --> 42:57.733 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% - If you could, just kind of hold your hands out. 42:57.733 --> 42:58.800 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Okay. 42:58.800 --> 43:00.800 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - And line up kind of next to Charlie there 43:00.800 --> 43:03.333 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% so we can disperse some of the weight here. 43:03.333 --> 43:04.333 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% - Oh, he's heavy. 43:04.333 --> 43:05.333 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55% He, she? 43:05.333 --> 43:06.333 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50% - He. 43:06.333 --> 43:08.366 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% - He's checking me out. 43:08.366 --> 43:10.133 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% I smell like lemur pee. 43:10.133 --> 43:12.133 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% - This is Hercules. 43:12.133 --> 43:13.233 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% - Hercules. 43:13.233 --> 43:15.966 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% - And Hercules is about 14 feet long 43:15.966 --> 43:17.766 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% and weighs over 100 pounds. 43:17.766 --> 43:19.633 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% - Okay, are you going? 43:19.633 --> 43:22.966 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% Would you like Hercules all to yourself? 43:24.133 --> 43:26.266 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% - I'm like Hercules. 43:26.266 --> 43:28.666 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% Whoa, I can feel muscles. 43:28.666 --> 43:31.433 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% I can feel serious muscles. 43:31.433 --> 43:33.833 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% - You can see how he i sticking his tongue out there. 43:33.833 --> 43:36.100 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% That's how he smells, that's right. 43:36.100 --> 43:37.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% So he is gonna stick his tongue out 43:37.566 --> 43:39.700 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and the odors go on his tongue 43:39.700 --> 43:41.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and then go back into his head 43:41.066 --> 43:42.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% where he has the same thing we have to smell, 43:42.600 --> 43:44.100 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% a Jacobson's organ, 43:44.100 --> 43:46.500 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% and that identifies the smells in the air. 43:46.500 --> 43:49.733 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% So right now he's smelling some lemur on you. 43:49.733 --> 43:51.833 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% He's like, "Hmm, lemur." 43:51.833 --> 43:53.366 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - You're a really big lemur. 43:53.366 --> 43:55.633 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% - Well he just like flexed. 43:57.133 --> 44:00.100 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% I felt like the muscle go like, oomph. 44:00.100 --> 44:01.400 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% - Yeah, just one breath, 44:01.400 --> 44:04.600 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% they have a really long, one big functioning lung. 44:04.600 --> 44:08.000 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% When they fill that up, I mean it really creates 44:08.000 --> 44:09.700 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5% some pressure. 44:09.700 --> 44:11.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% So, and you know, a lot of people assume, 44:11.433 --> 44:13.466 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% well, he must not have any teeth. 44:13.466 --> 44:16.433 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% He actually has nearly a hundred teeth in his mouth. 44:16.433 --> 44:19.433 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% He has pretty large, curved back, kinda like fish hooks 44:19.433 --> 44:21.500 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% that allows him to hold onto his prey. 44:21.500 --> 44:23.466 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% He's not venomous, but he's a constrictor, 44:23.466 --> 44:26.200 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% so he would squeeze his prey before he eats it. 44:26.200 --> 44:27.733 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% And like he's constricting. 44:27.733 --> 44:28.766 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% - Are you taking him off? 44:28.766 --> 44:29.933 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% - No, my hat's crooked. 44:29.933 --> 44:30.766 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50% - Oh. 44:30.766 --> 44:31.600 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% - How heavy is he? 44:31.600 --> 44:32.600 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - He's a little over 100 pounds. 44:32.600 --> 44:33.666 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - A little over 100 pounds, okay 44:33.666 --> 44:35.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - But it's a really awkward weight, right? 44:35.366 --> 44:36.366 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% - It is, yeah, yeah. 44:36.366 --> 44:38.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - It feels like even heavier than that. 44:38.266 --> 44:39.600 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% - Is he getting PO'ed? 44:39.600 --> 44:41.166 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50% - No. 44:41.166 --> 44:42.900 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% I don't know, is he hissing? 44:42.900 --> 44:43.900 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5% - Nope. 44:43.900 --> 44:44.900 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% - Oh shoot, we better. 44:44.900 --> 44:45.933 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% No, I'm kidding. 44:45.933 --> 44:47.000 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% (Charlie laughs) 44:47.000 --> 44:48.366 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% No, he hasn't bit anyone all day today. 44:48.366 --> 44:49.200 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% - Oh good. 44:50.800 --> 44:52.100 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% - He's a good sport. 44:52.100 --> 44:53.400 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% - Ah, all right. 44:54.333 --> 44:55.166 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% - Hi baby! 44:56.433 --> 44:57.433 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% - That was cool. 44:57.433 --> 44:59.166 align:left
