00:00My name is Jaspal Singh. I work as a Principal Entomologist at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana.

00:10Sir, as the winter season is going on, the consumption of honey is less compared to normal days.

00:16Especially in winter, people consume more honey in winter.

00:19Yes.

00:20And if we talk about the reproduction of honeybees, how can honeybees reproduce in winter?

00:27And how much production is there in Punjab? What varieties are there?

00:31Can you tell us about that, sir?

00:33Of course, honey can be consumed throughout the year.

00:41But as you said, the consumption of honey increases in winter.

00:44Because it gives energy to our body and has many other benefits for our health.

00:50As far as the variety is concerned, the honeybees that are being kept in our country,

00:56especially in Punjab, are of the Italian variety, which we call Malifera.

01:04It is one of the varieties that we keep.

01:07Now, in Punjab, and in many other provinces of India, honeybees are being kept.

01:13And this variety produces very good honey.

01:17Our honeybees are being kept for the sake of their hard work and for the sake of the techniques developed by the university.

01:26Honeybees have been kept on very large trees.

01:30And as a result of this, 20,000 metric tons of honey is being produced in Punjab.

01:39And if we look at India, Punjab has about 14% of this contribution.

01:47Although, if we look at the region, it is only 1.5%.

01:51So, according to this, Punjab has a very large contribution in the production of honey.

01:55Doctor, as it is the season of winter, the flowers are being cut off a lot, especially for the bees.

02:04So, how is it kept during these days, and how is the management done?

02:10As we see, according to the season, we also try to save our body from the cold by eating and staying at home.

02:22Similarly, honeybees also feel the effect of heat and cold.

02:29Especially, maintaining the body temperature is a big problem.

02:34Because, when we talk about Punjab in winter, the temperature of 5-7 degrees can be reached at night.

02:45Whereas, honeybees have to maintain a temperature of 34 degrees inside.

02:50So, this is a very long distance.

02:53So, if we make the right arrangements, then the honeybees will have a better result in maintaining this temperature.

03:02And the effect of this is seen in the production of honey by the family of honeybees.

03:11And the very first thing we have to do in this is to keep the bees of the honeybees away from the sun.

03:20We do this in the beginning of winter, so that the bees are kept away from the sun as much as possible.

03:26Because, when the bees are kept away from the sun, we also feel that even if the temperature is high, we feel cold.

03:32Similarly, the family of bees also feels cold.

03:36The children of the bees are kept away from the sun to maintain the temperature.

03:40As a result of this, the number of new bees is increasing.

03:46And the number of bees is also increasing.

03:50The second thing we have to do is, when the season of winter starts,

03:57we have to make sure that there is sufficient food for the bees.

04:04We have to make sure that there is sufficient food for the bees.

04:10Especially in the months of December and January, the bees are kept away from the sun for a long time.

04:17And when the bees are kept away from the sun for a long time, they do not get a chance to come out and work.

04:23So, when the bees are kept away from the sun for a long time, they do not get a chance to come out and work.

04:31So, we have to keep them away from the sun.

04:34We have to leave food for them.

04:36If the bees do not have enough honey, we have to make a well of honey and water.

04:43We have to make a well of honey and water.

04:45This is just to save the bees from the cold.

04:47This is just to save the bees from the cold.

04:50The third important thing we have to do to save the bees from the cold is to give them winter packing.

04:59Winter packing is a very cheap and durable method.

05:03Winter packing is a very cheap and durable method.

05:05In winter packing, there are 10-16 hives.

05:16In winter packing, there are 10-16 hives.

05:17If 10-16 hives are kept away from the bees, then there are so many bees in them that their temperature can be maintained very well.

05:26If the Bee is in the frame of 6-7 hives, then it will find an empty space.

05:31If the Bee is in the frame of 6-7 hives, then it will find an empty space.

05:32Then the bees will start producing more.

05:38So, what we will do is, in an empty space, we will put a dummy board in the first place,

05:45and in the second empty space, we will put a newspaper.

05:49So, in the first season of winter, the newspaper is easily available.

05:54It is easy to get the newspaper.

05:57There is no need to spend a lot on it.

05:59But if the family of the bees is very weak,

06:04we have recommended from the university,

06:08that if the family is very weak, we should make them strong together.

06:13But if we feel that the queen is very strong,

06:16and we have to save her, and the family is only of 4-5 frames of bees,

06:20then we will make the roof of the hive,

06:25and we will give packing on both the sides like this,

06:28so that it will be stable on both the sides.

06:30And if we want to save it from the cold,

06:33then we can put a stand under the hive.

06:37On the stand, we will place a net,

06:40and we will hang the hive on it.

06:42But while doing this, we have to keep in mind,

06:45that the net which is starting from the ground,

06:49should be cut unnecessarily,

06:51so that the insects do not get trapped in the net.

06:56These are some things that should be kept in mind,

07:01for the honeybees, so that they can produce honey better in this season.

07:06Sir, the last question is,

07:08like some people plan,

07:10so can you say that by planning,

07:12people can maintain the temperature?

07:14Absolutely, if we see that the honeybees,

07:18when the white honey comes from outside,

07:20from November to mid-December,

07:24then it is the beginning of winter,

07:26then they need space.

07:29So, if we give them a roof,

07:31with proper planning,

07:33if we give them one or two roofs,

07:35then the honey will be stored in them.

07:37But if we think that if we sit together,

07:40and give them 3-4 empty roofs,

07:42then there will be a problem,

07:44because if we give them too many empty roofs,

07:46then it will be difficult for them to maintain the temperature in an empty place.

07:51So, planning proves to be effective in everything.

07:55For example, in keeping the honeybees,

07:57to save them from the cold,

07:59that we take the time to take care of the hive,

08:03so that it doesn't get wet.

08:05Because the hive should not be wet,

08:07it should be completely dry, when we put it.

08:10Secondly, the dummy board that we take,

08:13we take it so that the bees don't get entangled in the hive,

08:16after reading the newspaper.

08:18If they get entangled in the bees and die,

08:21then we can prevent that.

08:23If there is no dummy board for the honeybees,

08:26then we can give them an empty roof.

08:29If we give them a roof,

08:31then we will have to pack the empty part of it.

08:35The remaining part of the roof,

08:37the bees will fill it with honey,

08:40to collect the honey.

08:43This way, we can do it in a better way.

08:47As we said, we have to keep the honeybees in the hive,

08:51in the cold.

08:53To do that, we have to make sure,

08:55that we keep them 3 feet away from the hive every day.

08:59It's not that if we keep them under a tree,

09:01the family of the bees,

09:03we have to keep them 15-20 feet away.

09:05Because if we do this,

09:07the bees will find their homes,

09:09in their old places.

09:11If we do this,

09:13the bees will not find their homes,

09:15and they will find each other.

09:17We should not think that,

09:19our bees will find each other in our hive.

09:21But it can be harmful.

09:23If the beekeeper,

09:25has not taken care of the bees,

09:27and if there is a bee attack,

09:29in one or two of the hives,

09:31then those bees,

09:33like Varroa,

09:35will sit on top of the bees.

09:37If they go inside the hive,

09:39then it will be a problem.

09:41That's why we have to be very careful,

09:43that we keep them 3 feet away,

09:45from the hive.

09:49It is often seen,

09:51that honey is frozen in winters.

09:53People say that this is fake honey.

09:55How do you see this?

09:57Does real honey freeze?

09:59This is a very big misunderstanding,

10:01that people have,

10:03that if it freezes,

10:05then it is fake honey.

10:07Here I would like to say,

10:09that 100% pure honey,

10:11can also freeze.

10:13There are some reasons,

10:15why it freezes.

10:17First, the temperature drops.

10:19When the temperature drops from 14 degrees,

10:21then the honey starts freezing.

10:23Besides this,

10:25when the honey comes from the hives,

10:27then the amount of glucose in it increases.

10:29It is a natural nature of glucose,

10:31that it tries to freeze,

10:33when the temperature drops in winters.

10:35This is one reason.

10:37Glucose is also a food product.

10:39If it is more than 100% pure honey,

10:41then 100% pure honey,

10:43can also freeze.

10:45There is no need to doubt,

10:47that it is fake honey.

10:51We sell it to foreign countries.

10:53Most of the countries,

10:55eat frozen honey.

10:57We are told,

10:59that it is a grain product.

11:01But if someone feels,

11:03that it is not a grain product,

11:05then we put it in hot water,

11:07then it becomes liquid.

11:09But still,

11:11we would like to suggest,

11:13to our university students,

11:15that try frozen honey.

11:17It has a very good taste,

11:19and flavor.

11:21Because the more we heat the honey,

11:23the better it will be.

11:25So,

11:27do try frozen honey.
