FRESH PRINCESS | ALL About BEES. NO treatment! | Fresh P @Thefreshp | Uploaded June 2017 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.

All about bees from a permaculture, no treatment approach. Caught on camera, my bees actually swarming; there are thousands of bees in my garden. The entire event took less than 5 minutes. It was really remarkable to look up and see thousands of bees pouring from my hive and into the garden. This was a swarm that I caught last year, I'll link to that video below. Generally I would have followed them on foot and tried to capture them to instal in an empty hive, but since I was pressure canning, I couldn't leave. Four days later, I found them again, or at least, I think they came home again, this time on the east side of our property, moving into the empty hive that I was hoping to fill. Divine providence? I like to think so. The wisdom of the bees and my interactions with nature seem to become more serendipitous the less I interfere. In this video I talk about my philosophy of beekeeping, and why the hives I have are not beneficial to the bees, how we can learn much about observing bees in the wild and alter our management practices to benefit the bees first, ourselves second. I don't take honey from my bees, but we get plenty cleaning out hives that do not survive the winter. Eventually i'd like to build hives that are habitat hives, thick walled, insulated nest cavities that resemble natural wild nests, but for now, I'll figure out a way to insulate the hives I have. I've also included a little clip from a recent workshop given by Michael Thiel of Gias Bees. Michael is the most influential beekeeper I know.
