1. In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. 163. Your God is one God. There is no god but He, the Benevolent, the Compassionate. 255. Allah! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great. 11. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 1. Say, “He is Allah, the One. 2. Allah, the Absolute. 3. He begets not, nor was He begotten. 4. And there is none comparable to Him.” 3. He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4. Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected Allah’s signs will have a severe punishment. Allah is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5. Nothing is hidden from Allah, on earth or in the heaven. 6. It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 1. Praise be to Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth, and made the darkness and the light. Yet those who disbelieve ascribe equals to their Lord. 14. Say, “Shall I take for myself a protector other than Allah, Originator of the heavens and the earth, and He feeds and is not fed?” Say, “I am instructed to be the first of those who submit.” And do not be among the idolaters. 19. Say, “What thing is more solemn in testimony?” Say, “Allah is Witness between you and me. This Quran was revealed to me, that I may warn you with it, and whomever it may reach. Do you indeed testify that there are other gods with Allah?” Say, “I myself do not testify.” Say, “He is but One God, and I am innocent of your idolatry.” 100. Yet they attributed to Allah partners-the sprites-although He created them. And they invented for Him sons and daughters, without any knowledge. Glory be to Him. He is exalted, beyond what they describe. 101. Originator of the heavens and the earth-how can He have a son when He never had a companion? He created all things, and He has knowledge of all things. 102. Such is Allah, your Lord. There is no god except He, the Creator of all things; so worship Him. He is responsible for everything. 103. No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision. He is the Subtle, the Expert. 104. “Insights have come to you from your Lord. Whoever sees, it is to the benefit of his soul; and whoever remains blind, it is to its detriment. I am not a guardian over you.” 1. Glorifying Allah is everything in the heavens and the earth. He is the Almighty, the Wise. 2. To Him belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He gives life and causes death, and He has power over all things. 3. He is the First and the Last, and the Outer and the Inner, and He has knowledge of all things. 4. It is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then settled over the Throne. He knows what penetrates into the earth, and what comes out of it, and what descends from the sky, and what ascends to it. And He is with you wherever you may be. Allah is Seeing of everything you do. 5. To Him belongs the kingship of the heavens and the earth, and to Allah all matters are referred. 6. He merges the night into the day, and He merges the day into the night; and He knows what the hearts contains. 7. Believe in Allah and His Messenger, and spend from what He made you inherit. Those among you who believe and give will have a great reward. 8. What is the matter with you that you do not believe in Allah, when the Messenger calls you to believe in your Lord, and He has received a pledge from you, if you are believers? 9. It is He who sends down upon His servant clear revelations, to bring you out of darkness into the light. Allah is Gentle towards you, Most Compassionate. 16. And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17. She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18. She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19. He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20. She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21. He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22. So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23. The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24. Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25. And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26. “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27. Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28. O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29. So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30. He said, “I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31. And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32. And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33. So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34. That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35. It is not for Allah to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36. “Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37. But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38. Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39. And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40. It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 41. And mention in the Scripture Abraham. He was a man of truth, a prophet. 42. He said to his father, “O my father, why do you worship what can neither hear, nor see, nor benefit you in any way? 43. O my father, there has come to me knowledge that never came to you. So follow me, and I will guide you along a straight way. 44. O my father, do not worship the devil. The devil is disobedient to the Most Gracious. 45. O my father, I fear that a punishment from the Most Gracious will afflict you, and you become an ally of the devil.” 46. He said, “Are you renouncing my gods, O Abraham? If you do not desist, I will stone you. So leave me alone for a while.” 47. He said, “Peace be upon you. I will ask my Lord to forgive you; He has been Kind to me. 48. And I will withdraw from you, and from what you pray to instead of Allah. And I will pray to my Lord, and I hope I will not be disappointed in my prayer to my Lord.” 49. When he withdrew from them, and from what they worship besides Allah, We granted him Isaac and Jacob. And each We made a prophet. 50. And We gave them freely of Our mercy, and gave them a noble reputation of truth. 7. Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you know for sure. 8. There is no god but He. He gives life and causes death-your Lord and Lord of your ancestors of old. 9. Yet they play around in doubt. 10. So watch out for the Day when the sky produces a visible smoke. 11. Enveloping mankind; this is a painful punishment. 12. “Our Lord, lift the torment from us, we are believers.” 13. But how can they be reminded? An enlightening messenger has already come to them. 14. But they turned away from him, and said, “Educated, but crazy!” 15. We will ease the punishment a little, but you will revert. 16. The Day when We launch the Great Assault-We will avenge. 35. O Children of Adam! When messengers from among you come to you, relating to you My revelations-whoever practices piety and reforms-upon them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. 36. But as for those who reject Our revelations, and are too proud to accept them-these are the inmates of the Fire, where they will remain forever. 111. And say, “Praise be to Allah, who has not begotten a son, nor has He a partner in sovereignty, nor has He an ally out of weakness, and glorify Him constantly.” Read The Quran

I was just watching some English KZbin videos on traditional beekeeping when I stumbled on this documentary, just to immediately laugh, because I had no idea this was about a beekeeper in Germany. Let alone from the region I live in! Now I am even more exited to watch it!

This was a great vid. Thanks for compiling it. It is a stark reminder that the way we take care of bees is not the only way.

[@EddVCR]

This is so fascinating that I watched it a few times now. It’s also very relaxing. I like to fall asleep while listening to it.

[@MrMielten]

Georg Klindwort jun. has recently died according to an orbituary published in a north German bee keeper's magazine. He changed the apiary into a more modern one once he had taken over from his father but reputedly kept on having some colonies in skeps.

There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great. 11. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 1. Say, “He is Allah, the One. 2. Allah, the Absolute. 3. He begets not, nor was He begotten. 4. And there is none comparable to Him.” 3. He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4. Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected Allah’s signs will have a severe punishment. Allah is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5. Nothing is hidden from Allah, on earth or in the heaven. 6. It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 1. Praise be to Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth, and made the darkness and the light. Yet those who disbelieve ascribe equals to their Lord. 14. Say, “Shall I take for myself a protector other than Allah, Originator of the heavens and the earth, and He feeds and is not fed?” Say, “I am instructed to be the first of those who submit.” And do not be among the idolaters. 19. Say, “What thing is more solemn in testimony?” Say, “Allah is Witness between you and me. This Quran was revealed to me, that I may warn you with it, and whomever it may reach. Do you indeed testify that there are other gods with Allah?” Say, “I myself do not testify.” Say, “He is but One God, and I am innocent of your idolatry.” 100. Yet they attributed to Allah partners-the sprites-although He created them. And they invented for Him sons and daughters, without any knowledge. Glory be to Him. He is exalted, beyond what they describe. 101. Originator of the heavens and the earth-how can He have a son when He never had a companion? He created all things, and He has knowledge of all things. 102. Such is Allah, your Lord. There is no god except He, the Creator of all things; so worship Him. He is responsible for everything. 103. No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision. He is the Subtle, the Expert. 104. “Insights have come to you from your Lord. Whoever sees, it is to the benefit of his soul; and whoever remains blind, it is to its detriment. I am not a guardian over you.” 1. Glorifying Allah is everything in the heavens and the earth. He is the Almighty, the Wise. 2. To Him belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He gives life and causes death, and He has power over all things. 3. He is the First and the Last, and the Outer and the Inner, and He has knowledge of all things. 4. It is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then settled over the Throne. He knows what penetrates into the earth, and what comes out of it, and what descends from the sky, and what ascends to it. And He is with you wherever you may be. Allah is Seeing of everything you do. 5. To Him belongs the kingship of the heavens and the earth, and to Allah all matters are referred. 6. He merges the night into the day, and He merges the day into the night; and He knows what the hearts contains. 7. Believe in Allah and His Messenger, and spend from what He made you inherit. Those among you who believe and give will have a great reward. 8. What is the matter with you that you do not believe in Allah, when the Messenger calls you to believe in your Lord, and He has received a pledge from you, if you are believers? 9. It is He who sends down upon His servant clear revelations, to bring you out of darkness into the light. Allah is Gentle towards you, Most Compassionate. 16. And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17. She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18. She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19. He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20. She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21. He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22. So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23. The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24. Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25. And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26. “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27. Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28. O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29. So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30. He said, “I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31. And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32. And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33. So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34. That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35. It is not for Allah to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36. “Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37. But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38. Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39. And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40. It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 41. And mention in the Scripture Abraham. He was a man of truth, a prophet. 42. He said to his father, “O my father, why do you worship what can neither hear, nor see, nor benefit you in any way? 43. O my father, there has come to me knowledge that never came to you. So follow me, and I will guide you along a straight way. 44. O my father, do not worship the devil. The devil is disobedient to the Most Gracious. 45. O my father, I fear that a punishment from the Most Gracious will afflict you, and you become an ally of the devil.” 46. He said, “Are you renouncing my gods, O Abraham? If you do not desist, I will stone you. So leave me alone for a while.” 47. He said, “Peace be upon you. I will ask my Lord to forgive you; He has been Kind to me. 48. And I will withdraw from you, and from what you pray to instead of Allah. And I will pray to my Lord, and I hope I will not be disappointed in my prayer to my Lord.” 49. When he withdrew from them, and from what they worship besides Allah, We granted him Isaac and Jacob. And each We made a prophet. 50. And We gave them freely of Our mercy, and gave them a noble reputation of truth. 7. Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you know for sure. 8. There is no god but He. He gives life and causes death-your Lord and Lord of your ancestors of old. 9. Yet they play around in doubt. 10. So watch out for the Day when the sky produces a visible smoke. 11. Enveloping mankind; this is a painful punishment. 12. “Our Lord, lift the torment from us, we are believers.” 13. But how can they be reminded? An enlightening messenger has already come to them. 14. But they turned away from him, and said, “Educated, but crazy!” 15. We will ease the punishment a little, but you will revert. 16. The Day when We launch the Great Assault-We will avenge. 35. O Children of Adam! When messengers from among you come to you, relating to you My revelations-whoever practices piety and reforms-upon them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. 36. But as for those who reject Our revelations, and are too proud to accept them-these are the inmates of the Fire, where they will remain forever. 111. And say, “Praise be to Allah, who has not begotten a son, nor has He a partner in sovereignty, nor has He an ally out of weakness, and glorify Him constantly.” Read The Quran

That was fascinating . Now I know why cartoon bee hives are shaped the way they are

[@TreatmentFreeBeekeeping]

Yup. In the early days of cartoons these were much more common, and the people who made the early cartoons grew up in an era before the modern Langstroth hives took the market share.

[@T289c]

This type of hive not recommended these days (unfortunately) but I LOVE these films. These beekeepers do everything by hand and their materials are virtually free! I love their Smokers too. Amazing how people and farmers were pure craftsman back then.

[@wiredforstereo]

Skeps are making a comeback. Depends on your state laws though.

[@T289c]

Yep. Not legal in New york state. must have removable frames for inspectors.

[@sirfishslayer5100]

Why do they need to be inspected? Government needs to get their cut off the top? Just another unnecessary regulation! Skeps were good for hundreds (maybe thousands of years).

[@TreatmentFreeBeekeeping]

Unnecessary regulation yes. But no cut.

This is one of the most fascinating documentaries I have ever seen! This is my third viewing and I've recommended it to my club. It reminds me of when they taught us to multiply with Roman numerals. Yeah, you can do it that way, even build an impressive civilization upon it. Yet, I think the way we do it now is a distinct improvement. Besides, I moved off the farm so that I would never have to be elbow deep in cow manure again.

[@OpisCossack]

cant you substitute another substance? maybe clay?

[@newq]

@ObamfSPIKE Yeah, I feel you. I'll take dumb physical labor any day over insanity-inducing mental labor. Physical labor hurts sometimes. It's hot and uncomfortable and dirty, but all that is mind over matter. I can force myself to get out of bed and move hay bales or something no matter how badly I slept the night before. But ask me to program software or write a memo on no sleep? Forget it. My brain just says "Screw you, not happening today!".

[@jacksongraydon2503]

This is a treasure for posterity

[@TreatmentFreeBeekeeping]

Yes, I think so too, a treasure even if you're not a beekeeper.

[@lindagalecrocilla9058]

Fabulous! I am a novelist writing an adventure trilogy for YA called Quest for the Golden City. It is in a medieval setting. My main characters will spend a chapter working with an apiarist. Now I have a better idea of the kinds of things they will be doing. This video has really helped me understand about skeps, honey production, and wax. Thank you so much for the info!

She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21. He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22. So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23. The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24. Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25. And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26. “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27. Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28. O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29. So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30. He said, “I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31. And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32. And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33. So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34. That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35. It is not for Allah to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36. “Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37. But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38. Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39. And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40. It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 41. And mention in the Scripture Abraham. He was a man of truth, a prophet. 42. He said to his father, “O my father, why do you worship what can neither hear, nor see, nor benefit you in any way? 43. O my father, there has come to me knowledge that never came to you. So follow me, and I will guide you along a straight way. 44. O my father, do not worship the devil. The devil is disobedient to the Most Gracious. 45. O my father, I fear that a punishment from the Most Gracious will afflict you, and you become an ally of the devil.” 46. He said, “Are you renouncing my gods, O Abraham? If you do not desist, I will stone you. So leave me alone for a while.” 47. He said, “Peace be upon you. I will ask my Lord to forgive you; He has been Kind to me. 48. And I will withdraw from you, and from what you pray to instead of Allah. And I will pray to my Lord, and I hope I will not be disappointed in my prayer to my Lord.” 49. When he withdrew from them, and from what they worship besides Allah, We granted him Isaac and Jacob. And each We made a prophet. 50. And We gave them freely of Our mercy, and gave them a noble reputation of truth. 7. Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you know for sure. 8. There is no god but He. He gives life and causes death-your Lord and Lord of your ancestors of old. 9. Yet they play around in doubt. 10. So watch out for the Day when the sky produces a visible smoke. 11. Enveloping mankind; this is a painful punishment. 12. “Our Lord, lift the torment from us, we are believers.” 13. But how can they be reminded? An enlightening messenger has already come to them. 14. But they turned away from him, and said, “Educated, but crazy!” 15. We will ease the punishment a little, but you will revert. 16. The Day when We launch the Great Assault-We will avenge. 35. O Children of Adam! When messengers from among you come to you, relating to you My revelations-whoever practices piety and reforms-upon them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. 36. But as for those who reject Our revelations, and are too proud to accept them-these are the inmates of the Fire, where they will remain forever. 111. And say, “Praise be to Allah, who has not begotten a son, nor has He a partner in sovereignty, nor has He an ally out of weakness, and glorify Him constantly.” Read The Quran

I searched "skep beekeeping" and this was the first hit. I just reread Mark Shepard's "Restoration Agriculture" and this time the section on beekeeping caught my attention. I wonder if the methods shown here help with improving the genetics of the operation. It kind of seems like it would. Would bees raised like this eventually be able to overcome all the challenges they're facing today? Mark Shepard seems to think so.

[@wiredforstereo]

[@abdulali8738]

1. In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. 163. Your God is one God. There is no god but He, the Benevolent, the Compassionate. 255. Allah! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great. 11. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 1. Say, “He is Allah, the One. 2. Allah, the Absolute. 3. He begets not, nor was He begotten. 4. And there is none comparable to Him.” 3. He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4. Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected Allah’s signs will have a severe punishment. Allah is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5. Nothing is hidden from Allah, on earth or in the heaven. 6. It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 1. Praise be to Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth, and made the darkness and the light. Yet those who disbelieve ascribe equals to their Lord. 14. Say, “Shall I take for myself a protector other than Allah, Originator of the heavens and the earth, and He feeds and is not fed?” Say, “I am instructed to be the first of those who submit.” And do not be among the idolaters. 19. Say, “What thing is more solemn in testimony?” Say, “Allah is Witness between you and me. This Quran was revealed to me, that I may warn you with it, and whomever it may reach. Do you indeed testify that there are other gods with Allah?” Say, “I myself do not testify.” Say, “He is but One God, and I am innocent of your idolatry.” 100. Yet they attributed to Allah partners-the sprites-although He created them. And they invented for Him sons and daughters, without any knowledge. Glory be to Him. He is exalted, beyond what they describe. 101. Originator of the heavens and the earth-how can He have a son when He never had a companion? He created all things, and He has knowledge of all things. 102. Such is Allah, your Lord. There is no god except He, the Creator of all things; so worship Him. He is responsible for everything. 103. No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision. He is the Subtle, the Expert. 104. “Insights have come to you from your Lord. Whoever sees, it is to the benefit of his soul; and whoever remains blind, it is to its detriment. I am not a guardian over you.” 1. Glorifying Allah is everything in the heavens and the earth. He is the Almighty, the Wise. 2. To Him belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He gives life and causes death, and He has power over all things. 3. He is the First and the Last, and the Outer and the Inner, and He has knowledge of all things. 4. It is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then settled over the Throne. He knows what penetrates into the earth, and what comes out of it, and what descends from the sky, and what ascends to it. And He is with you wherever you may be. Allah is Seeing of everything you do. 5. To Him belongs the kingship of the heavens and the earth, and to Allah all matters are referred. 6. He merges the night into the day, and He merges the day into the night; and He knows what the hearts contains. 7. Believe in Allah and His Messenger, and spend from what He made you inherit. Those among you who believe and give will have a great reward. 8. What is the matter with you that you do not believe in Allah, when the Messenger calls you to believe in your Lord, and He has received a pledge from you, if you are believers? 9. It is He who sends down upon His servant clear revelations, to bring you out of darkness into the light. Allah is Gentle towards you, Most Compassionate. 16. And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17. She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18.

It won't happen but I'd like to see a comparison of survival between langstroth or other frame hives and skep beekeeping. Obviously the big producers would stick with Langstroth but us little sideliners or hobby beekeepers could have a good time with this.

@@George-nx5lo Wax is lipophilic, so it attracts lipophilic chemicals. Plenty of studies about it too google around. Lots of pesticides and things. However, the problem isn't as bad as some make it out to be. The wax holds the chemicals so they don't get into the honey as much until they get higher concentrations. I recommend cycling comb progressively on average five years. Basically, with a ten frame box, two frames per year per box. Very manageable.

@@lindagalecrocilla9058 I would start with what people in the third world do still today. They have a bundle of vegetation, they light it, and wave it around the colony (usually in a tree). You don't have to blow copious amounts of thick smoke into a hive. It only takes a little. Bees are extremely sensitive to smell. What people use for sage smoke today would work just fine, a tight bundle of material that smolders and makes a lot of smoke. It really doesn't take a lot.

Noticed so far 1) Black Tupelo & 2) Mainly Gallberry honey mixed with black Tupelo,Gum Tree, Saw Palmetto flowers help greatly. Noticed from Aajonus Vonderplanitz that raw unheated nor pasteurized partially crystallized honey or creamed honey allows me a good amount of sweetness each day. Plus nothing heated over 104 F like with filtration as I noticed Amish Farms are doing this heating it up to 120-140F when it crystallized. I’m consuming about 12-16 tbsp a day and in his written work : We Want To Live: A Recipe for Living Without Disease talks about consuming 3/4 Cup ( 36 tbsp’s) of this unheated raw honey each day. I’m skeptical but my readings are better than ever as I always experiment with food variations and combinations. My new honey to try is Acacia Honey and that is costly. The Black Tupelo was not cheap either. I’d like to catch wild bees up here in north central Maine but not sure if their are any. ?

@@henrybyers5557 Modern hives need much less maintenance, and that maintenance is easier to do, as well as making splits, checking welfare, and harvesting honey. Pests really don't enter into it.

Modern hives are far easier to harvest from, being able to harvest without killing the hive, they are much easier to manipulate, one can rely on splitting rather than catching swarms for increase, honey production is vastly increased, they are far easier to transport, feed, and they are easier and cheaper (in time) to build and maintain. They do cost more, but you can build them on your own to save money.

What an interesting video. About those tiny little queen boxes--the one he inspected that had an unmated virgin queen, that was laying only infertile eggs, do they go ahead and allow this colony to hatch drones and go on a mating flight with the virgin queen? It looked like the beekeeper closed the entrance and moved the box into the other group with the mated queens. Just curious, as the narrator didn't elaborate on that issue.

[@wiredforstereo]

Once the unmated queen has begun laying, she will never again mate, so she would be useless at that point and the hive would die. This happens sometimes. I'm not sure what you're referring to exactly, can you post a time stamp so I can better address your question?

He closes that door as well, and sets it forward--but not with the other boxes (I was inaccurate on that), and moves on, but doesn't elaborate on what happens with that nuc and queen.

[@beebob1279]

Just a lot more work. But, with the melting of wax every year or two from the skeps doesn't allow the wax to become contaminated with chemicals, virus, or bacterial infection.

[@George-nx5lo]

there is no way to inspect the hive, hives health, parasites, beetles, moths, for a queen, check if mated queen, check what brood pattern looks like, check swarm cells, check super cups, check drone cells, check whether honey is capped, check whether they are bringing in enough pollen , check if nectar flow is on, check if they are backfilling laying area... and thats just or starters.... so ya there is a reason for the way we do things.

[@lukejones1244]

Are the queen cells always on the end (or bottom) of the combs and so easy to take off? Is this why a queen excluder is not needed in a skep, or is that unrelated? Why is an excluder not used?

[@TreatmentFreeBeekeeping]

Swarm cells are almost always on the bottom of combs but supersedure cells are usually in the middle. A queen excluder is used by commercial beekeepers to assure no brood is laid in the honey supers, so that the honey can be quickly processed without need for further sorting. A backyard beekeeper doesn't need it as they typically can take the time to sort combs and only process the ones that need to be processed. Further, you can exrract partial frames, leaving the brood intact, which an commercial beekeeper does not habe time to do. At any rate, the excluder is not necessary and hinders the free flow of operations in the hive. I don't recommend backyard beekeepers use them.

[@lukejones1244]

@@TreatmentFreeBeekeeping Interesting, it seems to me that the hives they sell are far too advanced for the "backyard beekeeper". This video shows that all you need is an upturned basket with a small hole cut into it! Very encouraging! I suppose it was a bit misleading to show all the supersedure cells being pulled off the bottoms of the combs, if, as you say, they are usually in the middle.

[@gechkogechev8801]

Прекрасна картина!!!!!!!!!!

[@christineplaton3048]

What happens when the sleeps are full, do they have alot of empty sleeps waiting? When do you collect honey?

[@TreatmentFreeBeekeeping]

They generally had a good supply of skeps, harvesting and repopulating skeps would be part of the yearly process. Honey collection is done depending on local conditions, you want to have sealed cured honey, but leave enough to survive winter. So some places that means harvesting in fall, other places harvest in mid summer and leave the hive to refill in the fall, some harvest twice. All beekeeping is local.

[@ІванДворецький-с9ч]

The mistake is that the film shows the old German technology for breeding bees (selling cell-free packages). At present, it is not possible due to the disease of bees by varoatosis (just the bees will not survive the winter and die without treatment)

[@wiredforstereo]

Actually no. Hence the name of the channel. We keep bees without treatments.

[@jzoom5790]

Thank you! This is such an amazing video. Are they still producing honey? One thing I just can't seem to get over the fact that cow poop covers the hives...they're touching the outer hives while harvesting the honey... # suberban dweller lol

[@TreatmentFreeBeekeeping]

I have heard news that the junior Klindworth passed away not too long ago. As far as I am aware, the family still operates, but I don't have any direct knowledge. Here's the thing about poo, it's only harmful if it contains pathogens that are harmful. European descended people were exposed to cattle (and other livestock) pathogens (such as small pox) thousands of years ago and thus were less susceptible to them. That's why they were so devastating to the indigenous Americans, they did not have the same set of livestock and viruses that the Europeans did. Furthermore, those pathogens have limited ability to remain virulent in conditions outside the mammal body, that's why heating (pasteurization, composting) kills them, as does dessication, like here. Horse and cow dung have many agricultural and household uses, including as a binder for cob, firewood, and skep sealing. Of course other sources of poo are not human friendly, birds and reptiles carry salmonella, and you don't want to touch anything from meat eating animals at all.

[@lukejones1244]

If in past times they did not keep their bees over winter, what did they do? Take all the honey forcing the bees out of the hives? And how did they get them back again the next spring? I'm referring to what was said at 36:18

[@TreatmentFreeBeekeeping]

He's speaking specifically of prime swarms. They would be used to draw comb and make honey and then harvested (killing the hive) because the prime swarm queen was older and because prime swarms are very energetic and productive in the first year and not always in the second year. Secondary swarms would be kept to make new colonies for next year as they have brand new queens which will likely produce well the following year but not this year. Fortunately today we use methods that do not require the destruction of the hive for harvest.

[@lukejones1244]

@@TreatmentFreeBeekeeping Thanks for your answer. But how did they separate and dispose of the primary swarm before winter, because they swarm not in autumn, but in spring don't they?

[@skippymagrue]

I wish I could keep bees like this. South Texas has so many things going against it.

[@catherina2611]

This way of bee keeping is illegal in many Countries these days. Modern hives are less work and less cruel and not illegal.

[@lukejones1244]

If primary swarm from Hive A is caught and put in Hive B, and the secondary swarm is caught and put in Hive C, what happens in Hive A? Does it become empty? Or does a third colony remain in it?

[@wiredforstereo]

It is most likely that a queen will remain in hive A to become its new queen. It is also possible that all viable queens will leave Hive A and it will become irrevocably queenless and cease to be unless something else happens like thelytoky. That is a trait where an unmated worker is capable of laying an egg which is a clone of herself, which can then become the new queen. However, this is rarely observed.

[@lukejones1244]

@@wiredforstereo I suppose if you attract bees into your new hive, with wax and honey, or syrup, you dont know if they are a primary swarm or a secondary. Will that make a difference when you come to the next swarming season?

[@wiredforstereo]

@@lukejones1244 You will not attract a swarm with honey or syrup, only robbers. Primary swarm is only important for the size and maturity of the queen. Secondary swarms can survive just as well if babied, though they have a disadvantage because they are later, smaller, and usually have an unmated queen, who will need to mate and start laying eggs.

Yes, skeps are still used in beekeeping by a few beekeepers. I do not know if they are still used on this farm in Germany.

[@henrybyers5557]

Very few, because it isn't a good way to keep bees. You have no idea what's going on inside the hive. There's also no way to expand the hive to prevent swarming or take advantage of large colonies that produce 100+ pounds of honey in a year. Every time you harvest, you have to destroy the colony and all their comb. Plus they are illegal in many states because the lack of inspection methods raises concerns about diseases like foulbrood going unnoticed and spreading between hives.

[@wiredforstereo]

@@henrybyers5557 As seen in the video, the skilled beekeeper can inspect skeps and know what is going on in the hive with a high degree of accuracy.
