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.

05:26But if there are 6-7 frames of bees, then there is no space available in it.

05:31But if there are 6-7 frames of bees, then there is no space available in it.

05:32The bees' temperature is maintained in the empty space.

05:36The bees' temperature is maintained in the empty space.

05:39First, we put a plate on the empty space and put a honeycomb in the second empty space.

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

05:54It's easy to get newspapers, and it doesn't cost a lot.

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

06:04we recommend the university that if the family is very weak,

06:10they should work together.

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

06:16and we have to save her, and the family is only 4-5 frames away from the bee,

06:20then we will cover the entire roof of the hive.

06:25And we will do the packing on both sides of the roof,

06:28so that the bees don't get stuck on both sides.

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

06:34we can place a stand under the hive,

06:38and place a net on top of the stand,

06:41and hang the hive on top of it.

06:43But while doing this, we must remember that

06:46if the hive is stuck on the ground,

06:49it will cut the hive unnecessarily,

06:51so that the insects don't get stuck on the ground.

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

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

07:07Sir, one last question.

07:08As some people plan,

07:10can you say that by planning, people can maintain the temperature?

07:14Yes, absolutely.

07:15If we see that the honeybees,

07:18when the white honey comes from the outside,

07:20and it continues till mid-December,

07:24then it is the beginning of winter,

07:26then they need space.

07:29So, if we give them a roof with proper planning,

07:32that we have given them one or two roofs,

07:34then the honey keeps getting stored in it.

07:37But if we think that if we put 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 that empty space.

07:51And the planning proves to be effective in every work.

07:55For example, in keeping the bees,

07:57or to save them from the cold,

07:59that we should take care of the time and place of the hive,

08:04so that it doesn't get wet.

08:06Because the hive should not be wet,

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

08:10Secondly, we should bring a dummy board,

08:13so that the bees don't get entangled in the hive.

08:18If they get entangled in the bees,

08:20they will get stuck and die.

08:22So, we can prevent that.

08:24If there is no dummy board for the honeybees,

08:27then we can bring an empty roof.

08:29If we bring an empty roof,

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

08:35The remaining part of the roof,

08:38the bees will eat it,

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.

08:53For that, we have to keep in mind

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

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

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

09:05Because if we do it this way,

09:07then the bees will find their homes in the hive.

09:11If they don't find their homes,

09:14then they will get entangled in each other.

09:16Let's not think that our bees got entangled in each other.

09:21But it can be harmful.

09:23If the beekeeper didn't think about it earlier,

09:27in some of the hives,

09:29if there is a swarm of bees,

09:31then the swarm of bees are sitting on the bees.

09:35If they get entangled in the swarm of bees,

09:39then it will be a problem.

09:41That's why we have to keep in mind

09:43that we have to keep them 3 feet away from the hive every day.

09:49It is often seen that the honey is frozen in the winter.

09:52People say that this is a sign of fake honey.

09:54How do you see this?

09:56Does the real honey freeze?

09:58Yes, this is a very big misunderstanding

10:01that people have.

10:04People think that frozen honey is fake.

10:07I would like to tell you that

10:09even 100% pure honey can freeze.

10:13There are some reasons why it freezes.

10:16First, the temperature drops.

10:18When the temperature drops from 14 degrees,

10:20then the honey begins to freeze.

10:22In addition to this,

10:24when the honey comes from the hives,

10:26the amount of glucose in it increases.

10:28It is a natural process of glucose

10:30that tries to freeze.

10:33This is one reason.

10:35Glucose is also a food product.

10:37So it is not a big deal

10:39if it is more in the honey of the bees.

10:41That's why 100% pure honey also freezes.

10:45We don't need to have any doubt

10:47that it is fake.

10:49Yes, we send it to foreign countries.

10:52Many countries eat frozen honey.

10:56We are told that it has become grainy.

11:01But if you don't want to eat grainy honey,

11:04then you can put it in hot water

11:06and it will become liquid.

11:09Still, we would like to suggest

11:11to our university students

11:13that they should try frozen honey.

11:17It has a very good taste and flavor.

11:21The more we heat the honey,

11:24the more its quality will increase.

11:27That's why you should eat frozen honey.
