That’s the internet for you. In this case the videographer is LDSPrepper and, luckily, he found that my technique for moving a hive worked perfectly for him.

He refers to me by name “Rusty” for a while and then devolves into “Ray” which, I guess, is fine. Oh yes, he also refers to me as “he” which I guess is understandable, but it tells me he’s not a regular reader. Gotcha. Anyway, I forgive him because he gave me high marks in Beekeeping Myth Busting 101.

Anyway, here’s his video.

The first, on Oregon Field Guide, was about the loss of the western bumble bee and how farmers are beginning to plant for wild pollinators to take over for the ravaged honey bee. Scott Black of the Xerces Society and an Oregon blueberry farmer are interviewed.

The second piece, on Quest, originally appeared in November 2011. “New research into disappearing bees” is about CCD, mites, and bee pathogens. Randy Oliver, Joseph DeRisi, Eric Mussen, and Michelle Flenniken chime in on these complex topics.

It’s hard to keep up with all the bee news these days so, if you haven’t seen these pieces, you’ll find them below. Each is between seven and eight minutes long.

First, from Oregon Field Guide:

They are from a reel of film that belonged to the North of Scotland College of Agriculture Beekeeping unit. As you will see, except for those hats, not much has changed around the bee yard in all those years.

Please take a few minutes to enjoy the show! Special thanks to Dianne for a great find.
