1 00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,413 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Tame podcast 2 00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:11,453 Speaker 1: from news Talks. 3 00:00:11,453 --> 00:00:11,813 Speaker 2: They'd be. 4 00:00:13,333 --> 00:00:15,173 Speaker 3: He to eleven non news talks, he'd be a man. 5 00:00:15,253 --> 00:00:17,453 Speaker 3: The Garden Root Climb past is here with us this. 6 00:00:17,453 --> 00:00:20,333 Speaker 2: Morning, Gilda Kiyota check. 7 00:00:24,613 --> 00:00:27,733 Speaker 3: Just trying to irritate us. He's uh, he's referencing a 8 00:00:27,813 --> 00:00:31,093 Speaker 3: subject this morning, bumblebees that are preparing for winter. 9 00:00:31,253 --> 00:00:35,133 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, because you remember a couple of months ago 10 00:00:35,133 --> 00:00:36,893 Speaker 2: I was talking about take a post school and all 11 00:00:36,933 --> 00:00:38,613 Speaker 2: that sort of stuff that we were doing there for 12 00:00:38,693 --> 00:00:40,413 Speaker 2: this for one of the rare species. 13 00:00:40,733 --> 00:00:43,493 Speaker 4: But anyway, I just want to just make a general 14 00:00:43,613 --> 00:00:45,213 Speaker 4: statement about prices. 15 00:00:45,293 --> 00:00:47,893 Speaker 2: The large bumble bee that you've probably even your garden 16 00:00:47,853 --> 00:00:50,573 Speaker 2: and everybody has in New Zealand, and that. 17 00:00:50,733 --> 00:00:53,453 Speaker 5: Is one of the best pollinators we have the news 18 00:00:53,533 --> 00:00:57,973 Speaker 5: in by the way, and really really cool to actually 19 00:00:58,133 --> 00:01:03,573 Speaker 5: actually encouraged to be at your place. So what the 20 00:01:03,733 --> 00:01:07,253 Speaker 5: trick is here that with these particular book is that 21 00:01:07,293 --> 00:01:12,373 Speaker 5: they don't really go for nectar or not that much 22 00:01:12,453 --> 00:01:15,573 Speaker 5: because they don't make if you like big hives that. 23 00:01:15,733 --> 00:01:19,053 Speaker 2: Got the nests and they go to one. If you're 24 00:01:19,093 --> 00:01:22,933 Speaker 2: like cycle a year, that's it. And now comes the 25 00:01:23,013 --> 00:01:27,293 Speaker 2: time when that is slowing down and right he comes. 26 00:01:27,333 --> 00:01:28,253 Speaker 4: The coolest thing of. 27 00:01:28,213 --> 00:01:32,093 Speaker 2: All is that first as I use them for pollination 28 00:01:32,213 --> 00:01:34,133 Speaker 2: of my tomatos. 29 00:01:33,573 --> 00:01:36,813 Speaker 3: Right right, okay, Yeah, And they don't. 30 00:01:36,573 --> 00:01:38,493 Speaker 2: Do it like a bee by sticking their tongue in 31 00:01:38,493 --> 00:01:42,093 Speaker 2: and then sucking nectar because tomatoes don't have nectar, but 32 00:01:42,173 --> 00:01:44,973 Speaker 2: they like the pollen, so the way they get the 33 00:01:44,973 --> 00:01:47,293 Speaker 2: pollen out. But it is a crazy, really cool thing. 34 00:01:47,693 --> 00:01:50,893 Speaker 2: You can always hear a bumblebee coming past, you know, 35 00:01:51,813 --> 00:01:55,133 Speaker 2: that sort of stuff, and that and that vibration is 36 00:01:55,173 --> 00:01:59,053 Speaker 2: how they actually shake the pollen out of the flowers. 37 00:01:59,413 --> 00:02:00,613 Speaker 2: It's a really cool thing. 38 00:02:01,693 --> 00:02:01,893 Speaker 4: Yeah. 39 00:02:02,173 --> 00:02:04,373 Speaker 3: I saw a lot of them. I saw a lot 40 00:02:04,373 --> 00:02:06,973 Speaker 3: of bumblebees on my caps complant summer. 41 00:02:07,093 --> 00:02:10,333 Speaker 2: Exactly the same thing, same sort of thing. And the 42 00:02:10,693 --> 00:02:12,533 Speaker 2: thing is, if you don't have any bubble bees, you 43 00:02:12,533 --> 00:02:17,293 Speaker 2: can use for insistant and vibrating if you like a toothbrush, 44 00:02:17,373 --> 00:02:20,133 Speaker 2: you know, one of those things to do exactly the 45 00:02:20,173 --> 00:02:23,213 Speaker 2: same thing. But again, that noise and then that whole 46 00:02:23,253 --> 00:02:25,613 Speaker 2: movements get those pollinating. 47 00:02:25,733 --> 00:02:28,893 Speaker 4: Anyway, that's it. But what we're getting now is that. 48 00:02:28,773 --> 00:02:31,413 Speaker 2: The queens are quickly laying a hell of a lot 49 00:02:31,413 --> 00:02:35,813 Speaker 2: of eggs to get young queens. They call them gains, right, 50 00:02:35,853 --> 00:02:40,493 Speaker 2: and these things need to mate with male bubble bees 51 00:02:40,733 --> 00:02:43,653 Speaker 2: right now. And what happens then is that the mated 52 00:02:44,133 --> 00:02:47,173 Speaker 2: queens will hibernate literally in a little hole in the 53 00:02:47,213 --> 00:02:50,013 Speaker 2: ground or in a little box that you'll find on 54 00:02:50,053 --> 00:02:52,493 Speaker 2: the website that I've put there, a little box that 55 00:02:52,533 --> 00:02:55,373 Speaker 2: you can make for them, and these things will literally 56 00:02:55,413 --> 00:02:57,893 Speaker 2: go through winter, and they even go through winter at 57 00:02:58,053 --> 00:03:03,053 Speaker 2: four degrees because they can actually make themselves warm by vibrating, 58 00:03:03,133 --> 00:03:04,773 Speaker 2: like becoming really nice. 59 00:03:04,813 --> 00:03:08,333 Speaker 4: And they really call these things. But this is important 60 00:03:08,413 --> 00:03:10,773 Speaker 4: because if you want those bubble bees to be around, 61 00:03:11,093 --> 00:03:13,413 Speaker 4: now's the time to look after them and make sure 62 00:03:13,493 --> 00:03:16,533 Speaker 4: that you've got places for them to stay. That is 63 00:03:16,573 --> 00:03:17,453 Speaker 4: what that is about. 64 00:03:18,013 --> 00:03:20,253 Speaker 2: And so all these little bits and pieces will be 65 00:03:20,293 --> 00:03:22,813 Speaker 2: on the website. I think Libya sorted that all that, 66 00:03:23,573 --> 00:03:25,893 Speaker 2: and he comes the nicest thing. If you've got a 67 00:03:25,933 --> 00:03:29,253 Speaker 2: little box and you put an old mouse nest in 68 00:03:29,373 --> 00:03:34,093 Speaker 2: with mouse pool, you'll be surprised how these guys, these 69 00:03:34,173 --> 00:03:38,893 Speaker 2: new queen bumblebees, go oh what's the oh I. 70 00:03:38,973 --> 00:03:43,173 Speaker 4: Like that and they go in and they live in 71 00:03:43,213 --> 00:03:43,933 Speaker 4: that little. 72 00:03:43,973 --> 00:03:50,933 Speaker 3: Real yeah, yeah, there you go, Well, there you go. Yeah, 73 00:03:50,973 --> 00:03:56,333 Speaker 3: Lemon's had lemonade lemonade. Yeah, very good, Thank you sir. 74 00:03:56,653 --> 00:03:59,413 Speaker 3: We will catch you you very soon.
