So I think the honey bees are a really graceful and really elegant example of how we all need each other to survive. And the Varroa mite is this tiny little bug that's a parasite that comes in and actually creates degenerative diseases, wing diseases on the new bees that are born,
It looks like a little limpet or something sitting on the bee. It's a mite , so it has eight legs. It's a little oval shaped.
If you look closely-- not on that picture, but on other pictures-- you can see the little legs on the sides. Aside from mites -- and that's a varroa mite , which is one type of mite that we have-- we also have a tracheal mite , which is a microscopic internal mite . There are also some bacterial infections that we have to deal with.
There are a lot of other shows, web series, that are built just for the Internet. So dyno-mite ! It's Good Times.
If we want bees that don't need to be treated how do we-- We can have all the metrics in the world about the number of mites , how quickly they build up and all this stuff. But if what we want are bees that can take care of themselves and survive despite the challenges, there's really only one way to measure that metric.
More different than just positive and negative charge. and the mites that live in your eyebrows, and all kinds of other things, that again, you know, so are you a symbiotic colony of all those things?
So I think the honey bees are a really graceful and really elegant example of how we all need each other to survive. One of the reasons why the Varroa mite is coming into play so strongly now is that we've gotten into so much genetic manipulation within the bees.
This particular bee here, if you can see closely right where I'm circling, that bee actually has a varroa mite on its back. That's an exotic Asian mite that came to this country sometime around 1985. And it really is probably the biggest problem that we've got.
So I think the honey bees are a really graceful and really elegant example of how we all need each other to survive. Africanized honey bees don't have mites .
So I think the honey bees are a really graceful and really elegant example of how we all need each other to survive. They don't die of mites .
Fluvalinate is the first one. This is something that's used for mites . And it a pyrethroid, which is a synthetic analog of a toxin from a chrysanthemum flower.
in this case. Great. But I coached every amateur level, so mite , squirt, all the way through.
It's a dog in a mask, sure. Then comes in that upper right corner, Bat-Mite a inter-dimensional magical imp who wears a costume like Batman.
of course just came out with idea rights so uh let's give a warm Google welcome to Howard anal thank you very much hi I want to thank uh you hi Mite and Google for inviting me here today and I've got a very interesting subject matter to talk
So I think the honey bees are a really graceful and really elegant example of how we all need each other to survive. But one of the sources that is really a hot topic within beekeeping are the Varroa mite .
There are a lot of other shows, web series, that are built just for the Internet. J: So am I. That's so -- White Jay: So dyno-mite !
with ourselves in our lives. Like, talk to us a bit about-- is it the "Meter" Trust or the "Miter" Trust?
Each one of them was a discrete self-standing entity. They would have been enclosed in mahogany boxes, in aluminum with mitered edges, sometimes in no enclosures at all.
This is just allowing this wood to not create too much of a vacuum. You've got to cut all these joints, these are miters here at the tail.
that are put in the hive specifically to fight disease or to fight something or to boost something. This particular bee here, if you can see closely right where I'm circling, that bee actually has a varroa mite on its back. That's an exotic Asian mite that came to this country sometime around 1985.
So I think the honey bees are a really graceful and really elegant example of how we all need each other to survive. So by treating bees and giving antibiotics consistently, it just weakens the immunity of the honey bees and it's strengthening those parasites, the mites ,
This is just allowing this wood to not create too much of a vacuum. And you get one shot at cutting-- I can't see the red, there it is- the miter there with a chisel.
Jim Weber, the CEO of Brooks, the running shoe company, put it this way in my interview with him. Quote, "I've never had so much autonomy in my career and never felt so accountable." Tom Manenti, the CEO of MiTek, the construction material firm, spoke of the trickle down rationale in my interview with him.
There are about 5,000 known species of jumping spiders. I mean, when you get these micro-- really intense microscopic views of spiders, you see that spiders have mites , and some of those mites have mites .
And then, everybody we interviewed, everybody-- and it wasn't a random sampling of the universe. You know, there are places in Asia where they wanted a really technical vacuum cleaner that counted dust mites and was quiet and small and stuff.
