Whoa, you made it all the way down here! Thank you ♥️ Love you

[@auroraglacialis]

One important correction: The spores will definitely get into the honey. You can detect it in the honey in the lab. So for a beekeeper, he has to look at the brood, thats right, but he can also send in honey samples to a lab and definitely if you want to avoid contracting it, dont feed honey from other beekeepers or the supermarket to the bees.

[@jimhegarty9561]

Outstanding video!!!!! Superb!

[@beek]

Glad you liked it!

[@Michaels_Music]

Your drawing skills are better than you think. Thanks for the education!

[@BrianS-vj6hj]

Excellent information here David. Thank you

[@beek]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jtaubel7928]

David, I thought my overwinter hive had AFB, but the black stuff is in the honey, too. And I dont see perforations in the brood cappings. What else could it be. It does smell a bit, but its not overwhelming.

[@beek]

I appreciate your question. You should ask this question on my livestream this Thursday, 7pm CT. Here's the link: www.honeybeesonline.com/live

[@midnightlycanroc64]

However once it's there it's probably to late anyways

[@Rao9464]

David aap kon si honey bee rakhte hai

[@primativereligion7]

Love listening to you!! So much good information!!

[@gene-sloca]

What a great video David. Really appreciate your time providing this information to us. Hope you and Sheri had a great Thanksgiving. See you Thursday night.

[@tabithahill2293]

Ditto I loved the video you were incredible in your explanation. The images thank you made perfect sense and especially the drawing...you have been teaching me a lot.. I'm looking forward to my first bee hive this spring!!! You are valued and appreciated!! Happy Holidays 😊

[@CastleHives]

Great video, David. I've never seen AFB, I think that is a good thing. My grandfather many, many years back, had a colony with AFB, and he burned everything.

[@beek]

Thanks Brian

[@user-kh1mk3oi1g]

I’ve done my share of grad school and countless KZbin diy tutorials and you are one of my favorite instructors! Thanks for the engaging content, great knowledge, and fair amount of emotional support as I keep learning (1st year older gal, here). I purchased your courses and I’m especially excited to add queen rearing to my plan next year! Thanks to you and Sheri for this valuable education.

[@kylefrench7985]

Thanks David this is great video. I appreciate that you don't sugar coat it. You never hold anything back from us! Keep up the great work and videos.

[@tatianaphilippova2903]

Thank you so much for the great video!

[@LindaSullivan-sw3mv]

Wonderful, informative video. Thank you

[@stephenluna7932]

Is there a way to sterilize hive tools if they get infected?

[@davethekiwibloke]

You can sterilise metal tools with flame or boiling for several minutes. Any wooden tools can be boiled too but this might damage them in which case burning and replacing is the best way. Gloves...disposable ones, just destroy, leather ones you can sterilise/scrub well with hot soapy water as they are low transmission risk, same with your bee suit. There should be official guidelines in your area that detail all this, and taking an AFB management course would be highly recommended.

[@pirateprospecting707]

Absolutely educational video!! Thanks. Duh as usual😁😉😂

[@MrSnapper1d]

I have seen AFB years ago but havent seen it for the last 30 years.You are right as it has a smell that you will never forget.And I have had to burn hives!

[@jessicafairfax_Bens_Bees]

Never experienced AFB myself, but this past fall a lady from our local beekeepers club had a case of EFB. Luckily our local inspector was able to point her in the right direction for treatment. Hope you and Sheri had a wonderful Thanksgiving 🦃 See y'all Thursday night. 🐝✌️💜🌼🍯

[@kentcostello5286]

I hope never to see that . I have heard of it never seen it yet . And thank you for the information and care of my girls.

[@BlaineNay]

In the mid '60s (I was about age 16) I bought some used equipment to expand my little operation. I asked the seller why he was selling. I said his bees died. (That's what ya call a clue.) Having been in the craft only a couple of years, I didn't know what to look for, or smell. So, I bought what he has and stated to do splits. In a few weeks, everything I had was rotten with AFB and I had to burn everything. That's a hard lesson for a teen. As a county bee inspector in Utah, I identify a case about once every two years. The two worst were feral colonies.

[@bunhelsingslegacy3549]

I haven't seen it but our hives were tested and we had to treat our bees for it last fall and our neighbour had to torch two of their 8 hives.

[@Ginokelulut]

Vidio yang sangat bagus bosku,tentang budidaya lebah madu,terima kasih,❤️❤️👍👍 sslam dari peternak trigona indonesia

[@evonnewhalen9794]

How can you tell if you have this disease in the hive?

[@br529]

The only problem i have with all these bee videos.if you are just starting out. You would be to scared to start. Because they are all doom and gloom

[@beek]

There's alot of car problems, accidents and deer running out in front of you, but somehow we keep driving.

[@br529]

@@beek yeah but they are not making videos on everyone of them

[@Zarealy]

I hope the only time I ever encounter it is in a testing scenario too.

[@typerk]

This sounds absolutely terrifying

[@carollane8694]

I always keep my nose switched on when opening a hive before even looking at the frames. It is one infectious disease I dread to ever find but fingers crossed never have

[@janisjersovs2441]

Sounds like something added to cheese during production.

[@MrSnapper1d]

The bees will also look greasy!
