Channel: Good Mythical Morning

[0]
a guy named bill put 10,000 bees on my
[2]
face let's talk about that
[5]
[Music]
[12]
good mythical morning let's be honest
[16]
when you are working as an intern attain
[20]
er like we are we don't know what
[23]
tomorrow holds we don't know what the
[25]
future holds right when this is your job
[28]
you got to be prepared for the day in
[30]
which people no longer care to click on
[32]
your face it's what you do so what we
[35]
decided to do is go out in the world and
[37]
find out if there's anything else that
[39]
we're good at with a little help from
[41]
our friends at Geico okay now we're
[46]
going to be doing a number of these
[47]
field trips over the course of the year
[49]
on GMM and we are calling it the back-up
[53]
plan
[54]
the first occupation we decided to try
[57]
was beekeeping first off that's a beat
[64]
you've probably already knew that and
[65]
that's bill a beekeeper
[67]
he literally keeps bees and that's Rob
[69]
he's basically a younger taller quieter
[72]
version of it so really nothing like
[73]
Bill at all except that he also keeps
[75]
bees they hold the knowledge of what
[77]
could be our future profession I hope
[79]
not
[80]
welcome to billows bees farm now I'm
[85]
typically the one who's afraid of stuff
[87]
I want that truth but today I'm excited
[90]
that the world is a little bit reversed
[92]
yeah yeah I'm a little uneasy my heart's
[93]
beating a little fast right now
[94]
you guys aren't scared of bees no that
[97]
would not Google well with this job you
[100]
do get stung oh you've been stopped only
[103]
one or two thousand times a year really
[106]
what really
[112]
I'm a fan of any job that requires a
[114]
specialized suit it makes me feel
[116]
important I'm a fan of a suit that keeps
[118]
bees from stinging me period we look
[121]
professional we look like we're there to
[123]
clean up a spill how many bees are we
[126]
talking about probably thirty and fifty
[128]
thousand bees per hive fifty thousand
[131]
bees in one of these boxes that's right
[133]
so the first thing that we're gonna do
[134]
is light the smoker smoke does two
[137]
things
[137]
disrupts that our ability to communicate
[139]
the second thing that the smoke does is
[141]
it makes them eat honey they start
[143]
eating their own honey they do that's
[145]
their food so now we got the smoker gone
[147]
the next step is to smoke the entrance
[150]
of the hive so it's just like the best
[152]
smoking job you've ever seen a
[154]
first-timer do it is impressed you gotta
[157]
be no I can't see out of my right eye oh
[163]
wow okay so we're gonna go through the
[166]
brood nest which is where the queen is
[168]
gonna be and where all the baby bees are
[170]
raised
[171]
now you're usually out here by yourself
[173]
are you like talking to yourself or you
[175]
talk to the bees yeah you can talk to
[177]
the bees nothing wrong with that the
[179]
only thing is they don't like the carbon
[181]
dioxide in your breath talk without
[183]
using air that's tough Rob you should
[198]
talk to bees like we just did can we see
[209]
the Queen now we sure can't so the main
[211]
thing that you want to do is check on
[212]
the the health of the Queen Queen
[215]
physical 50,000 bees you're gonna you're
[218]
gonna pinpoint the Queen like a needle
[220]
in a haystack
[221]
so this looks like this is mostly food
[224]
yeah there's no Queen there Rob I buddy
[226]
- I knew that as soon as I looked at it
[227]
see that big one right there that's the
[230]
Queen that is a drone the first one to
[233]
find the Queen wins what I think you
[236]
could eat it right there she is right
[238]
there nope that's a drone it can take a
[241]
little while she can be kind of hard to
[243]
spot
[244]
just a practical joke you think that
[250]
could be bingo
[252]
got it guys did you see that Rob I'm a
[255]
natural you want to check out and see if
[258]
she's injured in any way are you feeling
[260]
today you want to make sure she has you
[265]
know all all of her legs you have all
[267]
your leg
[268]
she looks great looking real good she's
[270]
looking healthy so this honey is ready
[272]
for us humans to take mercilessly you
[275]
don't want to harvest honey right here
[277]
next to the bees because it's like
[279]
rubbing it right in their face man
[283]
usually take two people to do this
[285]
generally a one man operation okay maybe
[288]
this will be our thing will be like the
[290]
tag-team beekeepers or we could be
[292]
tag-team wrestlers dressed as beekeepers
[295]
the buzzkills
[296]
okay bill we brought you a box of honey
[299]
we worked hard for that first thing we
[301]
got to do is shave the the cat's off
[305]
this comb oh there's a bee bee get in
[307]
here is that normal you actually don't
[310]
worry about the bee oh oh
[313]
jiggle-jiggle-jiggle and this slides
[316]
between the two blades and cuts off that
[320]
thin layer of beeswax it's sealing the
[322]
honey in the comb heat it straight out
[324]
of the hive like a king this is the best
[327]
that's like licking a beat push with
[329]
your left hand towards the the he did
[337]
now look at the other side of it he did
[339]
a pretty lousy job right you want to
[342]
give it a shot now that left hand you
[344]
need to push it towards your right hand
[345]
I can be the teacher now since I'm
[348]
I mean it didn't get off on either side
[351]
what happened fail oh look at dad kids
[357]
so this is um sit review centrifuge on
[362]
its side basically yeah
[364]
so you spin this all the honey goes out
[368]
we're gonna give this a little shove and
[370]
then turn the motor on whoa look at that
[373]
that's my reward don't you want one of
[375]
us to lay down there with our mouths
[377]
