Apimondia, the international federation of beekeeping associations was originally
planned to be held in Russia this year. The Russian delegation did a phenomenal job on
Apimondia 2017 in Turkey showing the beauty and the rich beekeeping culture of Russia
to win the bid to hold the Apimondia in Russia this year.
I was super excited to finally go to Russia for the first time. I even did
a short video about it but unfortunately, Mr. Putin has other plans for the world.
Before we continue talking about my plans and Apimondia to you I just want to say
very quickly how grateful I am for the 15 000 subscribers milestone that we reached this week.
I am so happy to see the channel growing and more and more people interested in honeybee
research and bees and everything that I'm doing here. From the bottom of my heart, thank you,
all of you! I appreciate the time and I hope you continue watching the videos here the future plans
for the channel are still the same to continue to bring more and more videos about honeybee research
and find a way to translate the information into practical useful advice to beekeepers worldwide.
For example, I am working right now on a video to talk about the new publication from the USDA
in Baton Rouge describing the development of a varroa mite-resistant honeybee. it was a request
from my patrons of this channel and I'm very excited with the results I saw from the article
After the war in Ukraine started i was very sad thinking about the amount of work and resources
the Russian beekeeping Federation put together and now wasted and the consequences for the
beekeeping industry in Russia heartbreaking and I thought Apimondia would be canceled
this year I really thought Apimonia would be canceled. Fortunately, the Apimondia team
did not mess around at all and moved very fast to find another location for the event.
The new location is Istanbul in turkey from august 24 to 28 and I cannot wait to be back in Istanbul.
I would like to invite everyone to support the event if possible in person
please visit the Apimondia website for more information about that. I have only good things
to say about my experience in Istanbul. Gorgeous safe, full of history and beekeeping culture.
If you want to see more of these I posted a longer version of this
video on my Patreon so you can have a bigger better feeling about the environment there.
I am going to Apimondia again this year to make videos and I am curious to know what would you
like to see from the event. Are you curious about the vendors? Are you curious about the beekeeping
culture in Turkey? or something else? Please let me know in the comments section so I can bring
relevant information for you. I made a playlist of all the videos I made about Apimondia in the past
and you can find it right here. I would like to give a special thanks to my patrons.
Thanks for watching. Inside the hive.TV, the show about bees. See you guys next week.
