Slovenian Bee Culture | ARTE.tv Documentary

[@kavbojctinko4131]

This is again one of the moments when I am proud to be Slovenian.

[@malizelenigreen3081]

In Slovenian language there are two different words to describe when a living thing dies. One is used for when a human dies ("umreti") and the other for animals ("poginiti"). The bee is the only animal for which the human form is used.

zakaj je temu tako?

[@malizelenigreen3081]

@@blazsovdat8677 Verjetno, ker je bila čebela od nekdaj zelo čislana.

lol I call BS on that one. A se dejansko tko reče?

My dad is a hobbyist of beekeeping, it requires a lot of knowledge, skills and patience. There are many external factors that can undo all your hard work. I would like to thank all beekeepers for their work. Greetings from Poland.

[@Zane-It]

I keep bees in the US and I have recently gotten into the Mexican honey wasps and Mayan stingless bees.

[@kennethbowman8999]

Thank you Slovenia 🇸🇮 👏🏻 love from a Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Beekeeper, great work 👍

[@rickwarner516]

All of Slovenian is beautiful and without any doubt a treasure. When you go there plan on at least two to three weeks just to see some of the wonderful things as well as the people. Very much my go to place.

[@dmurphydrtc]

That was an eye opener. Well done Slovenia.

[@SantaBarbaraBiking]

So important the job they are doing to save the bees.

Great lovely country.miss Koper, Bled,Ljubljana, Maribor, Tri Glav.lots of cheers from Kenya.

[@livebeekeeping]

Slovenia is a wonderful country. I admire what they do for bees and beekeeping. I would like to visit there and meet local beekeepers😊

[@midlspahe]

we must all put pressure on the EU union to ban pesticides and other artificial fertilizers. and that lectures for farmers on preparations for biological fertilizers that do not harm the soil and animals

What a lovely programme! Thank you!

[@elvisquilapi]

Excellent video, it inspires me a lot to continue taking care of the bees, greetings from Chile to all the beekeepers!

[@huwzebediahthomas9193]

Used to be a great bee keeping culture in Wales. Sad it has been more or less lost inside modern day Western cuture. Monestries were famous for it, especially.

[@HibikiKano]

There was a Slovene that travelled up to the UK to try and save the British local black bees in the 19th century. If I remember the name will be sure to give you another comment with it. He did learn quite a bit from your bee keeping as well as thought our methods, so there was an exchange of practices.

[@geckoproductions4128]

Very interesting hive construction.....nice video: a Texas bee keeper

[@tedpreston4155]

Now I understand why a relative sent us home from Slovenia with liquor made from honey, instead of the slivovitz I was expecting! I'm well aware of the Slovenians' relationship with plums, but I wasn't aware of their special relationship with bees!

[@potatoO0o]

But we don't have a special relationship with plums? Nor is slivovitz very popular here.

[@tedpreston4155]

@@potatoO0o Hmmm. My wife's family are big lovers of Slivovitz. Maybe that comes from their Croatian side?

[@potatoO0o]

@@tedpreston4155 Probably

[@HibikiKano]

Slivovitz and plums are further south. In Slovenia you have other types of Schnaps. Like Honey brandy, Apple and Pear brandy, Juniper brandy, Grappa, Gin, Brandy brandy, Apricot brandy, Walnut brandy. Slivovitz is more popular in Bosnia and down south.

[@tedpreston4155]

@@HibikiKano Thanks for the explanation! It seems my wife's family gets their love of Slivo from the Croatian side rather than the Slovenian side.

Proud Slovenian Australian here ! :)

[@azurebapiaries6730]

Now you take beekeeping to the next level and begin selecting for high varroa resistant local stock that dont need treatments to thrive? Eliminating artificial diets or lowering dependence on them is a real gamechanger too... Swarm catching with bait hives here in the US very popular and a great way to aquire these type of genetics for free. Happy beekeeping!

[@JM-tx2fz]

Excellent , well done to all

[@cathyb2204]

Very forward thinking! Lovely video.

[@albertlovshin7791]

Well done video !

[@grizeldiSLO]

A noticeable amount of moment to moment banter got lost in the SLO->EN translation, as the subtitles seem to be more of a translated summary instead of translating what was actually said.

[@artetvdocumentary]

Thank you for your comment. We're constantly working to improve our translations, please do specify (with timestamps, if possible) any potential errors. Thank you!

[@ursakoren]

​@@artetvdocumentary Honestly, there is so many, that what you ask for is impossible in a youtube comment. The mistakes are constant. Not just mistakes it's, like said above, more like a summary and not direct translations. It's sad because some things would be better understood with correct translations. I suggest you find a slovenian translator, because the whole documentary needs needs it.❤

[@kh7794]

Huge respect for standing up to the HUGE chemical companies and banning their use. That will NEVER happen in North America, just like the pharmaceutical companies, they are too powerful and rule our government. If your big enough, rich enough and will stoop to below the bottom, you can rule an entire country. THAT is the real North America, South America as well. I have no idea why people seem to think are governments are that corrupt, but they clearly are.

What race of bee do you raise

[@DamianP-n7b]

Carniolan

[@bojanstare8667]

It is native in Slovenia - Kranjska sivka - Apis mellifera carnica

[@bojankovacic5009]

😮Europe imports honey from China and Turkey for 2 euros each... I don't know how they will introduce pollination

[@willbass2869]

Chinese "honey" isn't. The world's largest case of food adulteration on record. They use corn syrup, fructose almost anything except fully seasoned/capped honey. The even extract uncapped nectar from the comb and use dryers to reduce moisture down to honey levels (14%?) Chinese were caught multiple times selling HUGE amounts of adulterated "honey". Sanctions were imposed. Chinese then transshipped the honey to other countries and put that country as the source. International expert uncovered the fraud by analyzing the bits of pollen in the honey & determined it was Chinese. Then the Chinese fraudsters processed the "honey" by using very sophisticated membrane filters that remove 99% of pollen thus making it impossible to determine source or composition. Please, NEVER buy imported honey (sorry, even most NZ Manuka honey is fake😢). Support your local beekeepers and lobby local restaurants/bakeries to do the same. Signed, off & on Texas beekeeper

[@tyrrells_honey]

Luckily for the EU beekepers this is changing as the new legislation will come intp force soon to trace the country of origin and full honey traceability.

[@lynnhughes6350]

Yes ..China must be banned as they always cheat !!! It’s funny honey

[@zeroheroes4081]

I read a news article about that the other day... The numbers were crazy. 60% of all sold honey in Sweden (my country) was imported and 46% of all imported honey was fake according to EUs statistics... The fake stuff is cheap to produce but very unhealthy to consume

[@kavbojctinko4131]

Sad but true. Honey can be compared to olive oil. If it's cheap, it's not homemade and high-quality. The normal price at a beekeeper is between 12 and 16 EUR per liter, depending on the type of honey. It is even more expensive in the store.

How can people learning to be a beekeeper in Slovenia?

Interesting that you can only have Carniolans

[@danielebordino5788]

Anche su Kangaroo Island ci sono api protette per legge dal 1880 ! Ma li apis mellifera ligustica introdotte dalla Italia. e per evitare l'ibridazione con altre razze. Su quella isola e vietato portare Api .
