Paul Kelly, apiary manager, speaks to the camera.] Paul Kelly: Hi everybody welcome to our new series of bee keeping how-to videos. We produced 32 videos so far on everything from how to light a smoker to how to raise queen bees. This is the fantastic group of people that I get to work with [camera moves to the left to show entire group] and we have all worked together to produce these videos. We are led by Dr. Ernesto Guzman. 00:42 - 01:07 Ernesto Guzman: Hello everybody. I want to invite all of you to watch our videos and learn from them and support our Honey Bee Research Centre. The University of Guelph has a long tradition of teaching and research and technology transfer to bee keepers, so watch our videos and support our Honey Bee Research Centre. 01:07 - 01:46 Paul: Thanks Ernesto. We're hoping that these videos will complement the courses that we already teach. We teach up to 700 students a year in some form of apiculture or bee keeping course, so these will be kind of take home information that people can have after the course, but it will be available freely to anyone at any time for other courses or people just want to focus on technique. They can choose through on the list of videos that we've provided here and pick and choose what they want to watch. Thanks for watching we hope you enjoy the videos and we welcome any kind of feedback. [Video scans left to show the groups researchers.]
