In this episode, Jeff and Becky are joined by Dr. Jeff Pettis and Carlos Perea to discuss some groundbreaking developments in the fight against varroa mites. Dr. Pettis, a renowned research scientist with over 20 years of experience at the USDA and current president of Apimondia, brings his extensive knowledge of honey bee health and the challenges faced by beekeepers worldwide. Carlos Perea, CEO and founder of Terra Vera, shares the innovative journey of his company in developing sustainable agricultural solutions and their unexpected breakthrough in varroa mite control. Listeners will learn about Terra Vera's exciting new technology that originated from efforts to improve water treatment for the Department of Defense. This technology, based on electrolytic chemistry, creates oxidants that are effective against molds, mildews, and pests like russet mites and spider mites. When applied to beekeeping, this technology shows promising results in controlling varroa mites without harming the bees or leaving harmful residues. Dr. Pettis and Carlos delve into the details of how this weak oxidant works, the encouraging results from initial field trials, and the potential for this technology to become a game-changer in varroa mite management. This episode offers hope and excitement for beekeepers struggling with varroa mites, highlighting a potential new tool that is safe, sustainable, and effective. Listen today! Websites we recommend!

In this episode of Two Bees in a Podcast, released on April 2, 2024, Dr. Jamie Ellis and Amy Vu speak with Dr. Jeff Pettis, the President of Apimondia, about the organization, global challenges, the future of beekeeping, and more. This episode concludes with a Q&A segment. Check out our website: ufhoneybee.com, for additional resources from today's episode. 

In this episode of 2 Million Blossoms, host Dr. Kirsten Traynor sits down with Flemming Vejsnæs, a bee biologist and beekeeper from Denmark, to delve into bees and beekeeping in Denmark. Drawing on their long-standing friendship and Flemming's extensive experience, they explore the evolution of beekeeping, emphasizing the importance of global collaboration and knowledge exchange in overcoming challenges like the varroa mite and the small hive beetle. Flemming shares his journey from a budding biologist fascinated by pollination to a pivotal figure in Denmark's beekeeping community. His career, spanning over three decades with the Danish Beekeepers Association, underscores the significance of adaptive strategies and international cooperation in advancing beekeeping practices and pollinator protection. Kirsten and Flemming talk about his role and plans for Apimondia, 2025, in Denmark. Flemming and the Apimondia team are deep in the plans for this world-wide conference, featuring the top bee researchers from around the world, vendors and the largest honey show, featuring 500 to 600 different honeys. Listeners will be captivated by the passion and expertise that Flemming brings to the discussion, offering valuable insights and practical advice for both new and experienced beekeepers. His vision for a future where beekeeping adapts to changing environmental and market conditions, supported by a strong community of informed and engaged beekeepers, is both hopeful and motivating. Don't miss this deep dive into the heart of beekeeping in Denmark and the lessons it holds for pollinator protection worldwide. ______________________ Thanks to Betterbee for sponsoring today's episode.

If you want to support this channel, please consider becoming part of our community. In today's episode, I speak with Dr. Jeff Pettis, former research leader of the USDA Beltsville lab and current president of Apimondia. Jeff and I have worked together for a long time, first when he was my boss at the USDA, and later on several projects related to honey bee health. We discussed our time in Thailand, where he introduced me to the subject of today's podcast episode: Tropilaelaps, a mite with the potential to be a bigger problem than Varroa mites. I hope you enjoy our conversation. We talked about his career working with social insects and also discussed his latest research publication on honey bees. The publication reveals that varroa mites, an important pest of honey bees, feed differently depending on the life stage of the parasitized honey bee. This discovery is significant as it greatly enhances our understanding of the life cycle of this important honey bee pest, which causes significant damage to the beekeeping industry. I want to thank our academy members for their support and you for watching.

Dr. Jeff Pettis returns to Beekeeping Today Podcast with an update of this past September's Apimondia Congress, in Turkey. Jeff was selected President of Apimondia when they last met in Canada three years ago. His goal was to hit the road running by planning a spectacular event in Russia for 2021. Between Covid and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, lots of things got in the way of that plan and the 2021 meeting was moved to Istanbul, Turkey in 2022. The location was chosen because Istanbul was a familiar location for the group, and travel to there from almost anywhere was one of the least troublesome due to covid issues and other legal restrictions. Dr. Pettis, a former USDA Research Leader at the Beltsville Bee Lab brings not only over 20 years of experience in honey bee research, but also a unique perspective of what beekeepers need, and want to get from an international meeting such as Apimondia.

Entrevista com Cyntia da Silva da Prodapys - premiada como Melhor Mel do Mundo. A catarinense Prodapys, de Araranguá, conquistou pela 5ª vez consecutiva o troféu de Melhor Mel do Mundo durante o 46º Congresso da Apimondia, realizado em Quebec, no Canadá. A empresa produz mel de qualidade, exportado para vários países, além de cosméticos e suplementos alimentares. Tudo começou com o farmacêutico-bioquímico Célio Silva, em 1977, montando o primeiro apiário. @prodapys www.prodapys.com.br

Pogovarjali smo se z dr. Petrom Kozmusom, vodjo Rejskega programa za kranjsko čebelo, predsednikom Sveta za čebelarstvo pri Ministrstvu za kmetijstvo in je že nekaj let podpredsednik mednarodne čebelarske organizacije Apimondia.

PODCAST EPISODE 15: Gladstone Solomon, beekeeper and Bees for Development trustee, Tobago Some people have wise and particularly beautiful souls. It is not something that can be quantified; it is just a feeling that you get when you meet them, a kind of radiance that exudes from their being. I have seen this in bee-people – as generally, humans that love bees are good sorts – they have a connection to the environment and an understanding of the necessity to be at one with nature. But every now and then a keeper, a bee-lover, comes along and I just feel calm and like I am speaking to someone with important knowledge, which is why I am so excited to introduce you to the lovely Gladstone Solomon for episode 15 of the BEES WITH BEN beekeeping podcast! I met Gladstone last year at the Apimondia beekeeping conference in Montreal and was struck by his life story and understanding of bees from places I had only dreamed of going to (and hopefully get to visit one day in the not-too-distant future!). Gladstone is a beekeeper who was born in Trinidad but has lived in Tobago most of his life – a place where honey is more sought after than sugar! He is also a trustee for Bees for Development – a wonderful charity that helps alleviate poverty across the world through beekeeping activities. This didn't surprise me at all, as Gladstone's caring demeanour fit perfectly with his connection to aid and social justice organisations. In Canada, we celebrated Gladstone's 70th birthday, and it was a real treat! I knew that I had to see him again one day soon, but as my plans for travel have been halted, I thought what better way to stay in touch than to invite him to share his story and knowledge on the podcast! Tune in to hear more about Gladstone's personal story as well some really fascinating information on the bees of Trinidad – a notoriously aggressive variety that landed there in 1979 – compared to the more peaceful bee-souls that can be found in Tobago. We also chat about the effect of the weather (wet and dry seasons) on beekeeping in the Caribbean, as well as the devastating impact that varroa destructor had when it landed there in August 2000, wiping out half the colonies on the island! https://www.bensbees.com.au

PODCAST EPISODE 5: Milan Wiercx van Rhijn, Bees for Development, France A few years ago, I visited one of my favourite countries in the whole world, France. During my stay, I was lucky enough to be well looked after by my now dear friend, Milan Wiercx van Rhijn, and his lovely partner, Kim. Spoilt with handmade ice-cream (thanks Kim!) and wonderful conversation about how bees are doing the most incredible job to take care of the planet (in more ways than just pollination), my stay with Milan really solidified our friendship and taught me a great deal about the amazing organisation he works for. Since that time in France, we met again at APIMONDIA in Montreal in 2019 and have stayed in regular contact ever since! For that reason, I am delighted to welcome my good friend Milan to the BEES WITH BEN podcast! Tune into Episode 5 to hear Milan and I chat about the wonderful work happening right now in the developing world – work that combines a number of incredibly dedicated and compassionate individuals, and, of course, a huge number of equally delightful bees! Bees for Development is an organisation that promotes beekeeping to combat poverty and help build sustainable, resilient livelihoods for the people that need it most. When I thought bees couldn't do more for the good of humanity, I am happily proven wrong. Founded in 1993, Bees for Development was the first organisation to fully understand and acknowledge the reasons why beekeeping can be such a useful tool for relieving poverty while helping to retain biodiversity. Based in Monmouth in the UK, the organisation has worked with over 50 countries across the world to help people generate an essential income to feed their families and provide basic needs: these projects are happening in Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana and Uganda (to name just a few locations). The company shows local farmers how to make and maintain low-cost beehives so that people can harvest and sell their own honey, turning natural and renewable resources into a vital livelihood that (if that wasn't enough!) helps the environment at the same time! The company also carries out important bee-work for the World Bank, United Nations FAO and IFAD, EU, DFID, USAID and other international organisations. Alongside all this remarkable work, Bees for Development has a generous and ethical philosophy to sharing information (one that I find vital and sometimes unusual in this day and age).

PODCAST EPISODE 4: Manuel Hempel of Vindfløy Bybigård in Bergen, Norway As you will find out, the last time I saw Manuel Hempel was in a karaoke bar In Canada. Obviously, my stellar singing voice made a great impression on the young, 34-year-old beekeeper from Norway, as we have stayed in touch ever since. To be serious, I met this incredibly passionate fellow when we were both at the APIMONDIA beekeeping and honey production conference in Montreal, Canada, and was struck by his story. Passionate about all things bee-related, Manuel is a keeper in a part of the world where the climate and terrain is tough – the city of Bergen on the southwestern coast of Norway. Although Bergen is not as wild as the mountainous areas of Norway, and the sea makes the climate milder and therefore suitable for bees, I am in awe of this young beekeeper, his perspective and story. Vindfløy Bybigård is a beekeeping project in downtown Bergen, named after the Vindfloy (wind transducer) on Mt. Floyen where Manuel's first hives were situated in 2013. Manuel run beehives from backyards to rooftops in different neighbourhoods all around the town of Bergen, seeking to “engage with the public and local institutions to create awareness for the city as an urban ecosystem, promote biodiversity and support local bees and pollinators by contributing to a more insect friendly environment in town”. What a legend! He is also very passionate about education, running workshops and giving presentations on bees at different events. In turn, Manuel and his bees have been involved with amazing groups such as Spire Bergen, ALF (Integration Center), SLowfood Bergen and the Bergen International School. I am thrilled to introduce Manuel to the Ben's Bees Community in Episode 4 of the BEES WITH BEN podcast. Listen in to hear us chat about the honey cooperative called HONNINGCENTRALEN (which translates to Honey Centre) – an awesome initiative where the price of honey is fixed so that all beekeepers can sell their honey for a good price and maintain its high quality. Food for thought until I next meet up with Manuel at the 2021 APIMONDIA in Ufa, Russia, for more chats on bees and hopefully a little karaoke ;) Tune in! https://anchor.fm/ben-the-beeman

PODCAST EPISODE 3: Nicholas Bishop from the London Honey Company I love to travel. And with lockdown restrictions meaning many of us have very itchy feet right now, I have been thinking that the perfect antidote to cabin fever is the BEES WITH BEN podcast! What a better way to keep meeting beekeepers, honey slurpers, nature lovers, and apiarists from all over the world than a virtual hang out with yours truly! And episode three is a real cracker! As many of you know, I spent a month or two travelling in Europe a couple of years ago now, and it was a divine experience. With the purpose of seeking out small honey producers in a number of beautiful locations across the European continent, I was lucky enough to bask in the northern sun, sip wine, eat delicious homemade meals, get dirty in the fields with some amazing keepers, buy and try local honey from farmers markets, and met many cute Euro-bees as they buzzed around in lavender fields. It was some kind of heaven, that's for sure. And it was on this trip that I was lucky enough to meet the passionate Nicholas Bishop from the London Honey Company, who I am delighted to introduce to the Ben's Bees community in Episode Three of the BEES WITH BEN podcast. Nicholas Bishop is the Commercial Director of the London Honey Company, who are purveyors of the finest honey, honeycomb, handmade 100% beeswax candles and 100% British mead based in Voyager Business Park, Spa Road, London. With over 20 years of beekeeping experience, the London Honey Company stocks their delicious and high-quality produce in shops, food halls, restaurants and hotels across the UK, as well as selling from their gorgeous online store. A much-loved company, chefs and foodies are head over heels with their produce, as are some of the finest institutions in Britian – in fact, the London Honey Company are the proud beekeepers of the Tate Galleries in London and the Victoria and Albert Museum! Incredible stuff! When I met Nicholas in Europe a few years ago, I was struck by his passion and work ethic, yet despite being super busy, he generously gave up his time to give me a wonderful tour of the London Honey Company facility. This space was new then, as they had recently moved in due to a huge growth in their business; things haven't changed, and the London Honey Company has forged ahead due to their sophisticated and dedicated beekeeping work and honey production skills. It wasn't until last year that we met again, as we were both giving talks at the Apimondia conference in Montreal, Canada. A wealth of knowledge and a lovely bloke, I was thrilled when Nicholas said he'd be more than happy to chat with me about honey types in London and the UK, in particular heather honey varieties. Tune in!

Dr. Jeff Pettis left the USDA some time ago to pursue other avenues of research. His current work is studying issues with queens, primarily longevity, affect of pesticides, virus interactions, shipping problems and more. Relatedly, he is working with drones, which of course play a big role in how queens produce. He’s looking at sperm issues, affects of pesticides, mating problems, heat stress and mating success. He’s also working with varroa resistance to miticides, affects of miticides on queens, workers and drones and essentially what is working, and what isn’t and why. In-between research projects, he is expanding his beekeeping operation with his son, running up to 75 colonies, doing some local pollination work, and producing and selling his honey at local outlets. In his 'spare' time... he has been serving as the Bee Health Commissioner for the International Beekeeping Association Apimondia for the past 8 or 9 years, and in 2019 was the first American Elected President of that group. His goals are to establish better communication between the group and the worlds beekeepers and to concentrate on global honey fraud, a major issue everywhere. Listen in and learn much more about Apimondia and what the future holds as the first American President takes over with a new and exciting agenda.

Včelár Tibor Vargapal na najprestížnejšej súťaži sveta včelárov Apimondia získal v septembri rekordný počet ocenení - až 11 medailí, z toho 4 zlaté. Na predchádzajúcom ročníku to bolo tiež 10 medailí. Takýto úspech sa vraj ešte nikomu na svete nepodaril. Žije v symbióze s prírodou, neustále sa vzdeláva a pracuje 16 hodín denne. Porozpráva veľa zaujímavého o mede a včelách. Ako včely žijú, akú majú povahu a čo by sme sa od včiel mali naučiť.

In den Bergen wandern die Kälte-angepassten Pflanzen und Tiere in höhere Regionen, um den steigenden Temperaturen auszuweichen. Unklar ist aber, ob Gebirgspflanzen schnell genug sind, um mit dem Klimawandel Schritt zu halten. Ein Team von ÖkologInnen der Universität Wien und der Schweizer WSL um Sabine Rumpf und Stefan Dullinger hat diese Frage in den Alpen untersucht und herausgefunden, dass die Natur mit "Verspätung" reagiert – sowohl beim Aussterben von Populationen an inzwischen zu warmen Standorten als auch beim Besiedeln ehemals zu kalter.

When Xander and Samantha met several years ago, the thought they'd end up owning and running a winery in Carnation, Washington, was not even a germ of an idea. In fact, the thought that they'd be running 15 colonies and producing honey at that winery was even further from consideration as Xander had no love of flying, stinging insects. Flash forward to today, past Xander's nearly three years in the Peace Corps, where he taught beekeeping in The Gambia, Africa, and they now own Orenda Winery.  In this special 'on the road' podcast, Jeff travels to Carnation, east of Seattle, to talk with Xander and Samantha about beekeeping in Africa, what prompted them to buy a winery, and how they use their honey bees as a major piece in their overall business plan. Kim joins the podcast later as he preps for Apimondia 2019.  Websites and links mentioned in this podcast: Orenda Winery: http://orendawinery.com Xander's ("Angry") Hive Inspection in the Gambia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VT_YukQwfF4 Xander's ("Calm") Hive Inspection in the Gambia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swtdpngTqt0 Duke University Documentary of the Beekeeping Club: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-JWRyqOf-Y Xander's Final Blogpost from the Peace Corp with Photos: http://thecypresstree.blogspot.com Peace Corps: https://www.peacecorps.gov ______________ This episode is brought to you by Global Patties!

Dr. Steve Pernal is a research scientist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (the Canadian USDA), located at the lab in Beaverlodge, Alberta, CAN. When he isn't working with the bees in the fields of canola, clover and alfalfa of the norther plains of Alberta, he is heading up the Programs Committee for the 2019 Apimondia in Montréal, Canada. This year's 46th Apimondia Congress (September 8-12) is hosted by the Canadian Honey Council and is 4 packed days of everything and anything beekeeping: from daily key note speakers, to scientific presentations to honey shows to a large vendor area featuring worldwide suppliers of beekeeping equipment and goods.  In this episode, Steve talks with Kim and Jeff about the programs attendees can expect in this year's Apimondia and what beekeepers from around the world will experience!
