@Grace McCormack: I commend you for saying "Bees have learned to live with humans", I live in Georgia USA and I find wild swarms to be more hardier, harder working and just generally tougher than domesticated commercial bees. Thank you very very much for your efforts and work.

Even bees in hollowed out logs if left alone, unmanaged, untreated and not fed artificially produce strong nests. You’ll see them moving around at entrance in much lower temperatures.

Thanks for your lovely comments.Great to see the treatment free and more hands off beekeeping community developing. Hopefully it will lead to stronger more resilient bees in the population and better beekeeping. Grace

I film and monitor many wild A.M. colonies in Oregon and Washington. Popular cavities in Western Red Cedars, Maples and Oaks.

A great talk! I have been keeping bees, chemically free, for 15 years and just now seeing more of an acceptance of not treating. Love hearing your findings. Thank you.

I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation. I am in the states and manage many feral colonies I've captured. You have inspired me to log my efforts and use the documented results to learn even more.

Excellent video. I love this lady’s work. If only more beekeepers in the UK would listen to the likes of BIBBA and Grace, before buying Buckfast.

Whats the effect on hive honey yields of no treatment? This not an issue for you it seems? It is for us!!!!

That's what she's saying most beekeepers are back yard keepers so don't need high yields allowing bees to swarm and allowing brood breaks that's how you manage varroa by getting out of the way and allowing the bees to use evolution to sort it.

The speaker worried me when she used terms like "main stream science", "nasty chemicals"and "just use common sense". I'd like to have details of what the favorable traits of ferral bees are, versus hybrids. I have some dark ferral colonies and some buckfast. Both are treated with oxalic acid. Does not treating mean the surviving colonies constantly carry a heavy disease load, and that's why honey yields are lower? If so, is that something we want?
