I have noticed with my hives, the more i work them the more calm they become. The bees appear to get used to our presence.

[@deslynmcintyre3833]

Let’s get pissed and talk bees one day. Hell I am pissed now! Your channel is one of my faves, I am in America and finally poised to a bee guy next season. Would love to chat and hear your knowledge first hand. “ not like you have not put the videos out that explains “. Just for the record, ain’t a video of yours I ain’t seen.

[@edcoffin3514]

it's called COMMON Sense, use your head, don't be stupid. If you feel confident what your doing.....Do it!!! my father would let me do stuff on my own (if it wasn't gonna kill me)an if something went wrong an I got hurt,burned, stung etc. he would say" bet you won't do that again" yep he was right

[@kathyhathaway8823]

Great idea . If you do not try something you would not know if it works or not . Keep your video’s coming when possible. THANKS

How are your hives making out now that the land of OZ has Varoa Mites. Have you been affected any?

[@PilotMcbride]

What other animals are harvested? Cows for milk, Chickens for eggs for starters.

[@kevinknutson4596]

Ahhh but what insects though, the only ones I can think of are for animal feed.

[@hawkinshawkins3577]

Honey ants sour ants both used as cooking in fancy restaurants it’s a new thing but old thing

[@alistairmacquarie2976]

Hi Mark re your question if there are any other insects that make food,The Honey pot Ant in central Australia,store honey in a ball as part of the abdomen .but your correct the honey bee is by far the biggest producer,insect.

[@wufongtanwufong5579]

Actually the honey is stored inside their bodies. But they aren't 'harvested" in the true sense of the word. They are more hunted, dug up and eaten.

[@4kays160]

They get that honey in them from capturing aphids and force feeding them like cattle so they can eat the aphid droppings which is pure honey dew, bees also take aphids hostage and farm them for the honey dew .. aphids are the real bug mvp, even other bugs farm them..

[@ThalApiFarm]

Nice EEE video

[@user-yq9ww8zw9m]

hi you're a fun guy i know you live in australia there's a lot of eucalyptus trees and sandy orange land am i right

[@4kays160]

Most of australia is green pastures and thick bushlands with eucalyptus, sandy orange land is a postcard from the dessert..

[@jeronimomod156]

Those skinny little nails I call them hot nails because they go into your foot like a hot nail through butter

[@dkeithcollins]

Mark, Hello from Danville Va. in the USA! My question is nothing to do with this particular video. In you wired starter frames do you install a starter strip of some kind? Wax, popsicle stick, or just let the bees have at it? Thanks!

[@bethpeelar3435]

The only other insects that are useful to man is silkworms and honey ants. Lol

[@intheworkshop861]

Any follow up on the Kaptarlift? Looks like you could have used it today.

If you go to any Asian street food market, you will find a vast variety of edible insects prepared in a wide range of styles from cooked in sauces to grilled on skewers, with some ground to sprinkle in particular flavours. It is really only in the western tradition that we have an aversion to eating insects. Locusts are eaten all over the world though and are extremely nutritious. I don't know of any insects other than bees which we actually keep for the food stores they hoard though; unless you count sugar ants which are kept and harvested in some parts of the world. Although they are eaten whole in most cases, sometimes they are pressed to get the sugar which they store in a caste of ants dedicated to storing sugar for the colony and have huge abdomens for storing it. We keep flies for producing maggots for fishing bait (don't go near a bait farm unless you have a very strong stomach) and mealworms for feeding to a lot of pets and (in ground form) farm animals. We also keep worms for composting in dedicated wormeries. Of course outside of foodstuffs, we have been using silk for thousands of years, as an obvious example. Dyes and stains are made from a variety of insect sources (cochineal being the best known) and of course Lacquer is named for the lac beetle, the wing covers of which form the hard part of the lacquer after the carrier liquid dries out. My grandfather had a wide range of strange powders and liquids in his work shed as he was a master french polisher, and a large number were of insect origin (including beeswax, of course). Every stain, dye, wax, varnish or lacquer used by him was hand conducted in that shed from natural ingredients. He restored some of the furniture in Windsor Castle when the private apartments were renovated to make them more child-friendly after the then Princess Elizabeth married Philip of Greece, for which he surrendered and renounced all claims to the Greek throne and naturalised as British. Luckily the furniture was saved from the great fire, so the furniture which was renovated by my grandfather was that which King Charles III and his siblings were brought up on whenever the Royal family were in residence there.

Insects are also cancerous. Can't recall the protien off the top of my head. But it can't be properly digested by humans and remains in our bodies. But what does love it are cancer cells. They use it as abuilding block. It's likes giving your cancer steriods.

[@4kays160]

You missed the entire point, what insects are farmed because they produce a biproduct humans consume? not what insects are farmed to be eaten... how you can completely missunderstand a question and go on a rant is beyond me.. you been checked for dementia lately?
