10:30 pm
today, in 60 minutes on dw jasmine, which dw 12 or emphasizing the award winning offer is available worldwide. every language level. reading, jasmine has never been since 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 doors to be in the beginning and beings, and even the other insects. they're not the evil annoying insects. you supplanted that they are vitally important animals on this planet. and we all need them without them, we wouldn't be able to live there ultimately the food for all other animal to i'm not to the,
10:31 pm
the mind. it's been trenton has been out. so yeah, i on good morning. my name is clinton, i'm 18 years old and i care a lot about the planet the i 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 really mentors ancient and my the i've always been interested in nature. i grew up here in the countryside. mean menu. 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 a ponds and put a bird boxes for birds to mast. uh and that's how it all came about. and this is allison stands is not often known. so, you know, if i knew it, 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, the, i'm,
10:32 pm
they haven't completed this one's a nice view. but here you can see the natural digits that st born, right? takes a while, the one that boned, she's on her way. good morning was this, these is so if you need to is it as can it is, we haven't planned at all for social media stuff to escalate like that i'm. 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 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, the ones either 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 the thing is,
10:33 pm
the thing is, every one of us knows the plan, it's going down, right? everything's dying and stuff so they don't go and maybe that's also a reason why people watch the videos i got 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 think it might have a feel for them to get some of the interest is there that the topic of bees we've just not really communicated, i think in a way that was accessible for young people who 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 telemundo at the bay of lou baxa, you know, through the here i move up and down to pay with might be calling these depending on what different plans are in blue. i'm stephanie eden chip. i am 46 years old and i
10:34 pm
run a small, sustainable boutique erie on the baltic coast of the supply. it was, i started writing a book about re scaling is a b key for about 2 years ago to encourage others to do the same video. i love how calm and focused it is to work at the be hives. it makes me incredibly happy to capture the taste as offering and summit, and the gloss to attach labels to the honey jose and awesome. and to put them on the show for stay the ship, the end, the ties youngest, on the same time, not as a sketch. funds in right is i thought would be keeping in mind data. so sees with 3 young children. it's really exciting to see that they have stopped to,
10:35 pm
to naturally become curious about looking into the high end of the learning last about b one. and then like many adults, the quite relaxed and just use the sense as to what's happening in the hive. how i worked in marketing in t on hamburg and the lynn 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 the question, i have no prospects in my job at that time. but in a kind of perspective of could say the 5 time a high for con, permission. okay. once i swallow this job and i feel that something fundamental is about to change, not the only just a moment ago that i have sales completely equinox, and it's been committed to high clos 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 in earnings. what's more,
10:36 pm
i've never had any reason to doubt that my employee offers it's employees, family friendly working hours, me informed to show up. i 5, what the details about i'm sitting at the end of joseph by deciding just also family. i seems 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 life. but i was certainly a reason to say, i'm going south end to toil. i'll just stop by and visit the work according to my own standard familiar value and i can and my stable in mind, i can then vacuum the the
10:37 pm
can't find the item. this view tries to have the cl from gases. them is not. i have had my own the colony, it was in the garden here. it was one of the 1st ones mom had them. it was also a very nice colony and dispatches and it had a nice clean. so the whole colony was relaxed and lovely spent on keep the caller id numerous. and y'all should be used to 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 fight. it's luke randall to zag. yeah. how low ready rash table hoffman we once talked about pollination you and you just need be use because otherwise nothing would grow. i got an excuse me, nothing at all says line. know apple trees high. no, nothing at all. kind of comics the
10:38 pm
i'll stick on some of it. can you pronounce your infection and stuff like that in germany and worldwide insect populations are declining, including the pollinators such as b as a alert, well publicized study a few years ago showed that fund within 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 to mess spots along here on site. we're doing a trial with a total of 14 colonies advise each and its own tunnel. where for sylvia plants are in bloom, which the bees love. since i was
10:39 pm
a huge fan of the ones i'm monitoring those seem to be in fact this is our monitoring system for b colonies of opinion. it's placed right by the hiv home and all these that enter or x that have to pass through this entrance area come up. 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 per minute kind of a fall. no human being can record that, which is why we use technology and both 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 are non torn the by with all that a student improvised about 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 to use that have been exposed to a treatment react time versus those that haven't hung. that's part of getting
10:40 pm
a better understanding of how different pesticides affect these. we know that poland gathering has also decrease size. this means that the bees have pollinated less and the percentage of bees that gather pollen has also declined, tossed to 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 anyway. problem. that's why these consequences are very, very important, most effective. and it's important to be able to measure those stuff on the meth and come out of the complex eco 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. when somebody has been stab gate escaped, i essentially what do you feel when we talk about bees dying out?
10:41 pm
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 any one, and that's why they're the ones that are dying outright mounted any kind of cousin . 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 so you would want to apologize. i suppose it is. oh, that's what it looks like when the wild bees live in. it can be no, but as well. it's actually a good thing that there is some clay on it. i mean, because it means the wild bees that move in kentucky and they won't breathe again until next year. hank, it's silvia what they slipped 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 opened the door to everything else to do with nature. and if the honey bees are doing well, many other animal species are probably doing well to feed on to out, and we'll take the
10:42 pm
heaviest, like on some, i mean think of his 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 biking. and then i joined the beekeepers association and got to be calling me on that, not what i'm looking at and then relatively quickly i got a bit more alternative and try out a lot of other things because of the beekeepers association. and 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 things. and that's what i is leaving the the
10:43 pm
display of guns. and 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 off the and then there's also this entry door here. was this sean always find a lot of work to build this kind of thing, but for me that's the best thing about it. and guys, i think i look a little btn. i mean, that's the, 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 piece of fussing 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
10:44 pm
anything to my home so they can do their own thing. and i basically just look on in amazement, a stone i have another to that. the so awesome. these honey combs are so soft, but also so stable because they're hexagon, osha, buick, and his ex egging form i think, i mean, i know who could you ever make this? you can really stroke them to see people think these are aggressive. very rarely. there are a few that go crazy, but if they wanted to sting 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 you've got in the event at some speed from a samsung. i'll go stepping cod i'm, we're now in date,
10:45 pm
some of the beginning of olga to have us now we've just had a rain show and the small, so i'm just told you not to be using the hive. now, 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 be use on the other hand, have to, into your healthy yet. and the highest and must wound the queen to ensure the future of the coloring. them one to 4 percent is focused on the my, to be my bees. 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
10:46 pm
transmission, as inc, cause and by the info sheet and further be cheaper, but always expires and fascinates me is how the b colonies have different characters. i don't want to see something called a nice uh, quite relaxed cuz 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 there? and the bees are just living in the moon, the monkey fluent 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 he's clement offsets and kind of them had sort of had to have i had thought of just reading about it and then i went to be keeping coals and found a mental at the be keepers association of mine before the
10:47 pm
yeah, that's right. yeah. it's on the 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 oldest or is that the se, se i phone on scott. did you get 5 done for the tv keepers association answers? every question is such a way that every beekeeper knows what we're talking about. even if they don't know so much that's about what happens to the be calling in the spring summer. it was all before the harvest and after the harvest. no mean time could some app just a minute softer, a brief 1st 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 are me too well from my time in
10:48 pm
financial communications. i say quietly to myself, i'm sure about what to expect from the evening. and my prejudices turned out to be almost more than justified. 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 tell you of my 1st gloves, me focused, much guide on the steps. you mean? yes. in all the time he, if he has used turn on his energy to develop an exemplary a period. and she does 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. i don't work so well. that's the oldest there. yeah. yeah. so our concept is going to stop as are this concept pass. i hope you have
10:49 pm
a couple months of debt point to the hobbies beekeepers association urgently needs young 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 them. i mean that cultural engineer and a professional beekeeper, i'm 50 years old and i've been keeping these for 35 years. they've gone. so imagine being keeping means being at one with nature. and for example, experiencing springs but turned up to 11. because all the energy and spring is in the b column and their names, and that's just very life affirming. and it's great to then chase the 1st tiny 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
10:50 pm
. there were a 1000 headquarters of genetically modified corn. i went out onto the field and peacefully ripped out the plans with 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 it was taken into course of detention for $30.00 days. why is 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 that was a big hit in the 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 offers them honey tasting goods 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 is whether there's nothing
10:51 pm
left the oldest diversity, we had them on the green, the corn flower, the corn cockle that's according poppy field, larkspur. it's all been sprayed away as alice dick do splits when, because that's how 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 on those with more land receive more money they should have. if you have, let's say 2000 and hector. so that's half a 1000000 in government money for basic agriculture and basic agriculture means 3 crop rotation to to winter we try calling rape feed device. nice 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 been committed to an agricultural
10:52 pm
landscape that seems to be it would have to get involved in agricultural policy. i think that kind of association could also take on the many young keepers going now starting out. and then really get to be keeping community going like getting into in cash off. this really is an easy the, it's not the only you my easy of any hits youngest on up in my room even quicker than 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 most. 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. the most course you 1st have to convince them to let you dig up their meadow and so flowers they're on the
10:53 pm
mind. most of them slammed the door in your face and say, come on, give lock in concepts. but there are also a few who say, yeah, man, that's a good idea. give it a try. who do you? they will be on the i says 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 as a oh, 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
10:54 pm
beneficial. this is a flower meadow i sewed last year. if you can see only one plan blooming here right 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. 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
10:55 pm
spits say to some extent i wouldn't say that it was really special to really the use of rhythms of nature. again, i missed that more and more during my years and just to see that you can feel the 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? i wish i understood that the very beginning. i thought i was learning a lot about these, but over the years i've noticed i learned a lot more about myself through to be used to being on. so i also find a balance to come to the come this not to be use radio, especially with my next system. with my story, i want to encourage people to listen to the own hub 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 them it doesn't have to be a grace adventure, like crossing the atlantic and assailing both sides. it can be something small and
