This video was posted on June 5, 2013. The prior spring (2012) I built 4 swarm traps. Since I use Warre hives, which are a type of top bar hive, I constructed the traps to accept the top bars. However the traps are longer than the Warre hive boxes to create enough space for the swarms.
I set the traps out and baited them with a small amount of lemongrass oil on some of the previous year's brood comb. Lemongrass oil contains all but one molecule that is in the pheromone produced by the Nasanov’s gland that is visible when the bee’s stick their fannies up and fan at the entrance to the hive or trap. This signals and helps the bees to follow the concentration gradient to the entrance of the swam trap.
A day or two after setting the trap I observed a swarm crossing one of my access roads headed for the trap. I grabbed my camera and tripod a set it up to observe the event. I only posted about 15 minutes of the event which lasted about 40 minutes.
We have finally made it to the other side of the beaver pond.

The season is going by like crazy and I need to get some logs cut. The logs have been sitting piled up for 2 years and I need to get the wood into rounds or stacked up off the ground. During the timelapse I talk about the chainsaws that I use.

In this video, I pull up the great looking black currant plants (hardwood cuttings) and transplant them to a living fence line that will ultimately replace an old cedar fence. I also take a 5-gallon bucket of acorns to place them along the base of the fence and cover them with a fresh partial load of wood chips.

Cultivation, plowing under, turning soil over, tillage, cultivation, rototiller, climate change, NASA a Year in the Life of Earth's CO2
In this video we cover some of the detrimental effects that tillage has on the soil food web, soil structure and function as well as its effect on climate change. I've included a video clip narrated by Bill Parkman from NASA’s Goddard space and flight Center. The video clip is a public domain clip that can be downloaded from their website. This video is fascinating in that it depicts seasonal variations of CO2. I specifically was very interested in noticing seasonal variations as they relate to photosynthesis. Being from the northeastern United States in the snow belt we are well aware of the decreased photosynthesis as it relates to the loss of leaves from all the deciduous trees and the ground being covered by snow. However I did not realize that an additional negative impact of tillage would result in a delayed onset of photosynthesis of the majority of farmland in the northern hemisphere.
Thanks for watching, Feel free to comment and ask questions and please share the video with your friends and colleagues.

In this video, I discuss a few topics that I believe are important when planning a garden plot. Goals, weed census, differences between annuals, tap-rooted (stationary) perennials, and mobile (with lateral roots) perennials, as well as various means of eliminating the weeds in the site including pulling, cutting, flame weeding, solarization (clear plastic tarp), occultation (using a silage tarp).

In this video, I show the method I use to use scrap rigid foam insulation, boards to create a 5 1/2 inch (14cm). Ultimately there will be another 1 1/2 inches (3.8cm) of polyisocyanate rigid insulation.

I've had the EGO Power+ ST1521S 15-inch String Trimmer with POWERLOAD and Carbon Fiber Split Shaft Weed Wacker for about 2 years now and since I needed to use it to weed wack the weeds that have grown out of control. I thought that I would record myself using it today. It is a real workhorse. I will give you a full review of it in the future.
