hello and welcome to what's going on i'm jan knight and with me today is a tavia oh forte belmont beekeeper thank you so much for joining us today it's  s in the docs over here and the large size of the legs compared to the a wasp you if you if you see that then you should have any problems ok so they carry the pollen in their leg yeah ok i do make a good honey and i even sell to the neighbors yes well they end but they are pollinators still and that's important and i'm curious about how the pieces are threatened by different things that are going on with the weather with he and fire mental issues and so on and so forth and well the the the we know that the bees a pilot about one third of the percent of the beehives behaves die in the wintertime due to weakness disease and other factors there and these bees have to be placed in the springtime right now for example and how do you replace them we buy them we buy honeybees as neighbors who live close to us in our neighbor's backyard well the first thing you have to do it that you have to overcome the fear of a stink yet as i said honey bees do not stink eye less you bother them unless you annoy them unless you live oak them and usually do they do only if you would it open the beehive and if you have a beehive in the in the o in your garden you have no fear because if there is a bee visibly be on in your garden on a flower if you go that said ok she flies away then much like a by the fly would no difference yeah no difference between a honey honey bee enough and a butterfly on the on a flowering bush details i'll do i'll get the honey out and also other honey plugs and be products and and like that i will cover that him it to some degree to the lecture but i have seasonal allergies so i have been very much you know looking for a local honey because my understanding is that that helps you to build up a resistance yes this is the season for allergies for the pollen allergies oh yes just jets and then about yes i didn't know that either so this is going to be very interesting when you have hear your lecture because there are so many things about beans that that people don't know how and the and yes they they are afraid when they see it be they're going to they are afraid they're going to get hurt yes staying and so they pull that baby right out of there quick anything else that you know  insects and so if you don't do it right they will die it would have very quickly became pink is a very expensive hobby to start with so you want to make sure you know about beekeeping before you before you buy before you the year i think for some reason thought that these did die every year in the wintertime and that you keep them over the winter and and replace some that guy no honey bees do not die they die because of disease  are there they stay in the in the in the b i waiting for one day even in the middle of the winter and it will come out of course the middle of the winter this snow is not going to do right but we have a sunny day even in january happened is january if you have a sunny day an cannot do without beekeeping ok i think we've covered all the details that we really wanted to make sure to share with our audience today ok well there's more to know if you come to the lecture come to the lect
