9:30 am
much trouble to fix the meals culture and dance team and let's say together parts of our community life on the research is now on the against the beginning of the very beginning. i thought i was learning quite a lot about the beings. and over the years, i've noticed that i actually learned a lot more about myself through the visitors to be in the beginning and i would be, and even the other insects, they're not the evil annoying insects you splat to death. there vitally important animals on this planet, and we all need them. without them, we wouldn't be able to live gone. they're ultimately the food for all other animals to atlanta, toyota. the
9:31 am
wind has been transit and it's pronouncing, yeah, i'd on good morning. my name is clinton, i'm 18 years old and i care a lot about the planet and wanted to go. i don't want all the bees and insects to die out. and yeah, i'm trying my best to do something about in class and getting started. isn't present anything that to us. i showed him i've always been interested in nature. i grew up here in the countryside. mean, hadn't you? i never had a cell phone. so i had to find other ways to keep myself busy. and i realized that nature wasn't doing so well and then i started to build the ponds and put a bird boxes for birds to mast. uh and that's how it all came about. and this is, allison stands, a thing that often up to you, i knew i really only use the smoke when they're very aggressive and they don't like it. they think it's a forest fire. i, i the i'm, they haven't completed this one's best for you. but
9:32 am
here you can see the natalie, it's saying born, right? takes a while, the one that boned, she's on her way. good morning. this is so if you need it as a, as can it is. we hadn't planned at all for social media stuff to escalate like them . i made a video with the friends and we said this method has to get out into the world. the oath, there are far too few people teaching us about these an important insects and the whole topic. i think i so we just made a video clip and uploaded it, and it went viral and and with the next clips that happened again and again to of one's the, the yes. and now i'm finally reaching people so that more people can do it. and other people can start doing that on finding them. it's, this thing is, the thing is, every one of us knows the planet is going down, right? everything's dying and stuff. it's right. i don't go and maybe that's also
9:33 am
a reason why people watch the videos. hika because i show solution you them what you can do on your balcony in your garden, on a small scale to make the world a little bit more be friendly again, or just generally more animal friendly. i get might have a feel for them to get some of the interest is there that the topic of bees was just not really communicated. i think in a way that was accessible for young people come for me. i don't know how to put it really like how do i sign the the is each year so she named us and we're here between mean dos and have a vendor at the bay of lou back on, you know, through the year i move up and down to pay was might be calling these depending on what different plans are in blue. i'm stephanie eden ship. i am 46 years old and i run a small sustainable d. c. a p, a re on the baltic coast of the
9:34 am
stuff i was. i started writing a book about re skilling as a b keeper about 2 years ago to encourage others to do the same. the video. i love how common focused it is to work at the hives. it makes me incredibly happy to capture the taste of spring and summer and the last 2 attached labels to the honey joseph. awesome. and to put them on the show for stay the ship, the end of the size of youngest. on the same time, there's a sketch, funds in right, as i saw, should be keeping in mind data. so to use and with 3 young children. it's really exciting to see that they have stopped to, to naturally become curious about looking into the high end of the learning last about b. and then like many adults,
9:35 am
the quite relaxed and just use the sense as to what's happening in the hive. how i worked in marketing in tea on hamburg, invalid for many years, and found city life and everything that goes with this incredibly exciting stuff that i'm position. there was something very personal and actually very beautiful happen. we have twins and that's suddenly called my entire professional life. and so question i have no prospects in my job at that time, but in a kind of perspective of could say the slide on the high, so con, permission, okay. once i swallow this, give out and i feel that something fundamental is about to change. not gotten it only just a moments ago that i have cells completely e quote from this thing committed device. last and all, you know, mid thirty's, we 1st invested the loss in our education and studies of time, and there's not much difference and awnings. what's more, i've never had any reason to doubt that my employee offers it's employees, family friendly working hours, me informed to show by size what the details behind. so at the end of joseph,
9:36 am
by deciding just also family, i seem to be catapulted out of everything i've accomplished so far. and my idea of how equal everything should be, but it's like a bubble. well come to reality and as i from plaza, they come and there was a lead to it just the intent is the key thing has really been the decision i made also having been treated like this in my professional lima. i'm as i should be. it was certainly a reason to say i'm going south end to toil is i'll just stop by and visit the work according to my own standards in my own value. and i can and my steve on mine, i can and vaskins the the can't find the item this view tries to have the cl some gaps as them is not, i have had my own the colony. it was in the garden here. it was one of the 1st ones
9:37 am
mom had. it was also a very nice colony on as fast as it had a nice clean. so the whole colony was relaxed and lovely spent on the god i universe and the ocean bees have to be really well protected. because without the bees, nothing would really work at all. and all living things would be quite a bit further behind without them. but it's luke randall tobacco. yeah. how low ready brush table wilson. we once talked about pollination and you just need be yes. because otherwise nothing would grow. i got mixed. nothing at all to blame. no apple trees high. no, nothing. it all kind of dominic's the, i'll stick on some of it. can you pronounce your own and sex and stuff like that in
9:38 am
germany and worldwide insect populations are declining, including the pollinators, such as be alert, well publicized study a few years ago showed that within the 27 years, up to 70 percent of the insects bio mass and nature reserves had declined. i'm catalina schmidt, you were here at one of epic, a eyes test size. we're a technology company that uses a guy to try to find out how to analyze why insects are dying out. i'm mess that's a lot. see here on site, we're doing a trial with a total of 14 colonies if each and its own tunnel where facility of plants are in bloom, which the bees love. since i was a huge fan of the ones i'm monitoring those seem to be in fact this is our monitoring system for b colonies, levine,
9:39 am
it's placed right by the hiv home. and all these that enter or x that have to pass through this entrance area come on, then the camera gives us data on these images of the bees of we use artificial intelligence and the idols. if you take a closer look here, you can see just how much we can do here. we have up to $200.00 b is going in and out and per minute kind of a fun. no human being can record that, which is why we use technology and most of us can help us automate something that we would not be able to track ourselves. how many bees go in and out? fine, how many are caring? poland, how many or non torn up by one of the students didn't provide spots sponsors? no incident with a 100 is a few been our very 1st study in this field was in 2019. and that's when we looked at the same as new nicotine. orient behind or data tells us how b is that have been exposed to a treatment react time versus those that haven't hung. that's a part of getting a better understanding of how different pesticides affect these. before we know
9:40 am
that poland gathering has also decrease size. this means that the bees have pollinated less and the percentage of b is that gather pollen has also declined. tasks of gathering less pollen for a few days may not be a huge problem for honey bees. but we always looked at the wild bees as well. and if they don't find anything to eat for a few days, then that can be a much bigger problem because they have a much shorter life span any way plus hobbin. that's why the consequences are very, very important boys effects. and it's important to be able to measure those stuff on the mess and come out of the complex ego system of the thing. everything is interconnected, father, and if we create the foundations for the smallest creatures to thrive, then larger creatures can also live. well there i'll find somebody has been standing gate escape i as mission of the holding fee. when we talk about bees dying out, it's not really about the honey bees, but all these wild be in the honey bees. have the beekeepers who take care of them . but these wild beast just don't have anyone to the up. that's why they're the
9:41 am
ones that are dying out right mounted. any kind of causing all stabs in this? it was one down here as an insect hotel and that's awesome for the wild bees and. and it's also really easy, you simply drill holes and some would want to apologize. i solely this. i wasn't, that's what it looks like when the wild bees live in there can be no bite as well. it's actually a good thing that there is some clay on it that i mean because it means the wild bees have moved in and they won't read again until next year. hank, it's silvia when they flip somebody else and they are in these tubes for a year and then the next year they're ready to go again. yeah. and then the dumpster is it is office and basically i see it like this. everyone has heard of honey bees. they open the door to everything else to do with nature. and if the honey bees are doing well, many other animals be these are probably doing well to feed on to out, and we'll take the
9:42 am
heaviest, like on some, i mean, think of us on thursday night, i just got myself some books and read them. and i basically devoured all the books, i could get my hands on just to get an idea of what the different opinions are. what's out there, i'm going to hit it and go find like a business. and then i joined the beekeepers association and got to be calling me on the not what i'm looking at and then relatively quickly i got a bit more alternative and try it out. a lot of other things because of the beekeepers association that you're told how things are conventionally done and then the next. but i'm often more interested in how these actually live in nature, in old beehives or in long kinds of them. and then i will, i is leaving the, the, the
9:43 am
display on comes on while i've done this with a normal 3 trunks. and i hollowed it out with the chainsaw and i saw it around for a day or so. and then also, and then there's also this entry door here of this show. no, it's quite a lot of work to build this kind of thing. but for me that's the best thing about it. i'm guys i think i look a little btn. i mean, that's me. yeah, i always have the being and i don't have the bees to harvest lots of honey. i experiment a lot, but i don't keep these because of the honey. it's because i find these animals. fascinating is a teeth. if i send you into the once, i leave the honey inside for the volume list here, i took out maybe 5 combs for the family, so we have some hunting this week. i left the rest in there on the computer. all the boxes are all full of honey and i don't have to feed them sugar water or anything to my home so they can do their own thing. and i basically just look on an
9:44 am
amazingly stone that i have. i know that says that the obvious so awesome. these honey combs are so soft, but also so stable because they're hexagon, that'd be there to his x. i gave him the form i think i need to know who could you ever make this? you can really stroke them, the people think these are aggressive, very rarely there are a few that go crazy, but if they wanted to stay me, they would have done that. all right, go ahead and hit the send button. i don't have a single thing with this. i'm kind spacing regarding the image at some speed from a samsung. i'll go straight up and kinda, i'm with now in data. some of the beginning of august, which i have. i mean, we've just had a rain show and the small, so i'm just told you not to be using the hive. now,
9:45 am
one of the last generations of some of these, you know, they have a relatively short life time. about 4 weeks, they use of all the energy collecting net to impulse in the winter. b, as on the other hand, have to go into your house in the highest and must wound the queen to ensure the future of the coloring. them one to 4 percent display to reset the mind of you mind these get to live here in a wonderful ocean which is completely um, treated furnished. it's simply the best imaginable natural environment for that as far as the transmission as inc. cause invite in for shooting and for as a be cheaper but always expires and fascinates me is how the b colonies have
9:46 am
different characters. i don't want to see some calling. these are quite relaxed and i like to call them my hippie common way since the very common. sure. and when i look into the, how do you super, relatively little this happening, the and the bees are just living in the moon, the microphone in talking and then get this. they're also insanely aggressive, calling these with 10 or 20 be slowly towards you. these are often calling these that a very, very busy and was unbelievably hot. so bringing the honey, i see you struggled out enough. how many soup has to keep on saying one guy has to go when it's climate offsets and kind of didn't have the time, but i thought of just reading about it. and then i went to be keeping coals and found a mental at the be keepers association. find the
9:47 am
yeah, that's right. yeah. it's on a very nice came as a new member to one of our monthly bookkeeper meetings. that's when we met her 1st . she listened carefully to what we oldsters have to say. buffy. i know it's a fun on scott. did you get fried don for the tv keepers association answers every question is such a way that's every beekeeper knows what we're talking about. even if they don't know so much that's about what happens to the beach calling in the spring summer. it was all before the harvest and after the harvest and no mean. i'm quit some ask just a minute softer, a brief us cool to sleep, please. the chairs to be keepers association in our region. an invitation lambs in my email inbox inviting me to a meeting the following thursday to the village. pub, some excellent. i remember these old boys clubs only 2. well, from my time in financial communications, i say quietly to myself, i'm sure about what to expect from the evening. and my prejudices turned out to be
9:48 am
almost more than justified from the gulf as i entered the village pub, whose interior looks like it hasn't changed since at least the early 19 eighties. i see almost exclusively old, a gentleman and dignified for time and to tie up my 1st gloves, anita, against my side on the steps you meet yet in all the time he, if he has used turn on his energy to develop an exemplary 8th period. and she did it slightly differently than i suggested. she said no, i want to move away from styrofoam and plus to kind of do what i want to use, wouldn't hives that she did a good job. i'm impressed that it works so well. that's the oldest there. yeah. yeah. so our concept is going to stop as are this concept pass you. i hope you have a couple of the points to the hobbies beekeepers association urgently needs young
9:49 am
people to get involved because older be cheaper, so very conservative and don't really care about their bees on a small scale in the hiv. yes, they do everything there. but beyond that, ensuring there's less spring that agricultural policy makes changes that agriculture itself becomes be friendly. i'm still waiting for that to happen. i'm each of the one. i mean that good cultural engineer and a professional beekeeper, i'm 50 years old and i've been keeping these but 35 year as the guns i mentioned to beat keeping means and being at one with nature. 10, for example, experiencing springs on but turned up to 11 because all the energy in spring is in the b column and it needs and that's just very life affirming. and it's great to then chase the 1st honey. i went to prison for fighting for a different agricultural policy, taking us back then lots of gene engineer plants were brought into the fields here . there were a 1000 headquarters of genetically modified corn. i went out onto the field and
9:50 am
peacefully ripped out the plan. so to preserve what was already there, that's how i kept doing it until i was sentenced to 2 days in jail or a fine of $500.00 euros per day. i didn't want to pay that or so i was taking into course of detention for 30 days because this target i had the liquid honey sent in because they could have been contaminants hidden in the solid honey, especially if i can be keeping talks with honey tastings and go for that was a big hit in prison because people stare at the walls, they're all the time, you know. and then someone turns up who's bursting with energy and offer some honey tasting room on one of our customers to consume recruiting and you know, this is a very young queen. she doesn't have a dock yet. these loved variety when the racing field has whether there's nothing left me a little this diversity, we had them on the green, the corn flower,
9:51 am
the corn cockroach. so corn poppy field, larkspur, it's all been sprayed away as alice dick do splits when the position of society would do well to go back to that. but it doesn't matter. it has a subsidy system that gives money to farms that are already very, very large from those with more land receive more money. so if you have, let's say 2000 to hector's right, that's half a 1000000 in government money for basic agriculture. and basic agriculture means 3 crop rotation, went through we tie coins, rape seat dog device mice cops got to the alternative to changing the beekeepers association from the inside would be to found a new association. it would have to stand up for bees and be committed to an agricultural landscape that seems to be it would have to get involved in agricultural policy. i
9:52 am
think that kind of association could also take on the many young keepers going now starting out roads and then really get the be keeping community going like getting into in cash off. this really is an easy the it's not to. he owns you. my easy when it hits youngest on up in my movies and quick, then when i started with my flower meadow project, i went to the local municipality and ask them for a bit of cash just to finance the see. i know who that's one hurdle was and then of course you have to convince the farmers who have always been in charge here and tell them how to do it and say this is how it works. and this is how we're going to do it. they will, of course you 1st have to convince them to let you dig up their meadow and so flowers there on the mind. most of them slammed the door in your face and say, come on, get lost kid comfort. but there are also a few who say, yeah, man, that's a good idea. give it
9:53 am
a try. who do they put me in like the i that's around 80 kilos. it's really hard. we've had some i see. so far i've been doing all these meadows on my own. so it's also a bit difficult when i tell my friends on the weekend, hey, let's make a flower meadow and then they say do drill. what are you talking about? i want to party my husband as a well, there are a few who joined me, but it's still a bit difficult to get in the i celebrated man. it's pure nature. nature best. this is a flower meadow i sewed last year. if you can see only one plan blooming here right
9:54 am
now, a wild carrot and fooling, but in spring and summer, there wasn't much more on that. and something else is coming up here too. it's an experiment really will be and if it's not only be friendly, flowers, honey, be flowers that bloom. i don't care because it might be a flower that a butterfly lands on or something to do. in any case there's already much more diversity then there's normal greenfield. so the idea is just to try it out and see what grows just so something in a small pot are similar and something will happen comes on, sean my name is my vision is that there will be enough flowers everywhere again for all the insects and for the animals and when the insects return and get the rest of nature will automatically be better again, the spits say to some extent hosting that it was really special to really feel the rhythms of nature. again, i missed that more and more during my years and to see that you can feel the
9:55 am
seasons again, you can feel what's growing. you can observe which blossom is coming up. you look at the pollen that bees bring in and what's the debate against the beginning? how much i just did at the very beginning, i suppose i was learning a lot about these. but over the years, i've noticed i learned a lot more about myself through the years to be in on south to find a balance, to come to the come this stuff to be radiate, especially with managed and with my story, i want to encourage people to listen to the own hubs my show and to see change as an opportunity to visit, to believing themselves. and to know that a gap in the korea is not the end of the world. on the contrary, it is a unique opportunity to move in a new direction. don't give him, it doesn't have to be a grace adventure, like crossing the atlantic and assailing both sides. it can be something small and stuff 9 that makes you sparkle and insights. some clips something the
