A fun little film from the old fashioned days:

Great little film. Love the commentary and the camera work is surprisingly good for the time.

There's some nice old footage on the net, even a complete 1935 movie, The Keeper of the Bees.

Does anyone have a link to an old information film where it shows someone carrying out II in his apiary (in the open air). I saw it once but have never been able to find it again.

Any idea as to what kind of date would it have been?

Probably from the 40s or 50s Prakel.

I still have one of those old metal feeders lying in the bee shed. Noticed that the drones used had aleady been partially inverted to speed things up in the petri dish before semen was harvested. II has not changed much since Laidlaw's time and is easy.

Aye and all done in the open air. Interesting they were describing it in connection with bee improvement. 60 years later and we're still needing that!

No problem Prakel! Just glad I found it again. Watching that first time round was what made me think II might just be achievable by an ordinary mortal like me.

What great film and really friendly bees too, all this time and we're still trying to find that special strain of bee
