(woman) How does a filly learn her master's commands?

(boy) What's the best way to get honey from a beehive?

(girl) How do windsurfers keep their balance in rough water?

♪ ♪ ♪ Of all the insects, which one's your favorite?

A walking stick, because it can hide and it's hard to find.

I like looking at the ants... see how they be living and stuff like that.

Just see how they be building they house.

A butterfly, because it's pretty and it won't bite you.

Hello, Alan.

Come in.

(boy) I met Mr. Disch through my father.

My father used to buy supplies from Mr. Disch's store.

Mr. Disch has been in the bee business for over 40 years.

He has almost every supply a beekeeper would need.

How are you?

Fine.

What do we need?

Mr. Disch, what is this?

This is a skephive , the hive they used to use years ago before Langstroth invented modern hives.

There was a lot of waste and destroying of bees.

Bees used to make honey on top, and their brood nest was at the bottom.

When they'd want the honey, they'd cut this top off, and then they'd have also drone brood, which is against the betterment of raising honey.

I need some foundations for my hive.

(Disch) We'll pick out the kind you want.

Mr. Disch, I believe this is the foundation I need.

How many would you need?

About five.

About five.

How are your bees?

They're producing honey.

We have some that's ready to come off.

We could see what ours are doing.

I'd like that.

We'll pick up this foundation when we come back.

[bees buzzing] (Alan) Mr. Disch's hives are not much different from ours.

He uses a different roof system.

Some people might think I'm crazy raising bees, but one of the best things about having bees is, you get honey.

There are different kinds of honey.

In the grocery store, the label says clover honey.

You can't be sure about that because a bee will fly 2 miles from its hive to get pollen and nectar.

Down South you can't tell because they have so many different types of flowers.

A darker-colored honey would be your fall honey because of yellow flowers.

Your spring honey you have white flowers that have lighter-colored pollen.

That's why you have lighter-colored honey in spring and a darker color in the fall.

A bee will die within 40 days after it's born because they really just fly their wings off.

[buzzing] You can use honey in cooking and baking and just different foods.

You don't have to use as much as you would sugar.

My mother cooks with it a lot, and I bake with it.

I have a cookie recipe that I use honey in.

I don't think it would taste as good with sugar.

Thousands of years ago, the Egyptians used to put dead bodies in vats of honey before they could bury them.

The honey just fights bacteria.

Any kind of bacteria that can grow on human skin or can affect a human cannot live in honey.

After they would get ready to bury the people, they would scrape the honey off and sell it.

Nobody would know it, so they'd eat the honey.

No one would ever get sick, so no bacteria could have grown in it.

Well, about six months ago, I started reading pamphlets and books on bees and beekeeping.

My first hive we got out of the bottom of a trailer.

The bees had just made a hive.

We just scooped it out from the trailer.

When I first started working with bees, I was still scared.

Once you start working with them, you realize there's not anything to be scared about, unless you start slapping at them.

They're like a pet.

They won't hurt you.

Before we got bees, I was scared of them.

I didn't think they were any use to man.

I didn't know what they were for.

But now that we've got them, I've realized that they pollinate flowers.

They give honey.

They help mankind in all sorts of ways.

The bees fascinate me because they have almost like a city within themselves.

They live on this comb which would be like houses.

Bees at the front of the hive fan their wings like an air conditioning or heating system.

The bees have almost their own police force because certain bees keep robber bees out.

It fascinates me, the way they do this.

[buzzing] (man) Right here, we can see a larva.

(Alan) How come like right here, the bees eat out the foundation?

(man) They do this for passageways to get from one side of the comb to the other.

(Alan) Dad, when they make honey, does it have to go through an aging process?

They bring in the nectar and store it in the frames or the cells.

It has to evaporate some water to turn it into honey.

[buzzing] (Alan) I would recommend this hobby to certain people.

People who, if they get stung, end up in the hospital, I would not recommend beekeeping.

But a regular person, if they want a hobby, it would be a very good hobby.

[buzzing] ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [waves rippling] (girl) Windsurfing is not dangerous.

Windsurfing is like riding a bicycle: Once you learn, you learn.

I think windsurfing builds up the muscles in the lower part of your arm, and that's mostly the part you use.

Life jackets aren't necessary because in other boats, when they capsize, it all fills with water and might even sink.

With windsurfing they don't sink.

If you fall off a Windsurfer it can just drift, but it won't go off very far unless the current's really strong.

[windflaw noise] Windsurfing's more like sailing because you have to know the directions of winds, the types of sails, more sailing techniques and everything else than in surfing.

[windflaw noise] Windsurfing is a combination of surfing and sailing.

The surfboard is about 12 feet long, and it's made of plastic instead of fiberglass.

We have a dagger board which we use to keep the surfboard from going sideways.

The dagger board goes through a little slot.

The skeg is like a surfboard skeg.

It enables fast tacking.

Let's go look at other parts of the board.

You can see the universal joint better on this boat.

Universal joint sets into the board a couple inches above the dagger board.

That enables the sail to rotate in any direction.

Windows in the sail let you see better when rounding marks and other boats.

The number of windows depends on how old the sail is.

(girl) You can windsurf wherever there's wind and water:lakes, ponds.

It's fun.

There's not many sports like it.

You have to do it yourself.

You don't have to depend on other people.

Windsurfing's not that strenuous.

If the winds get really heavy and you're not able to hold the wind, then it would be hard.

It takes coordination to learn how to windsurf.

I don't really consider windsurfing a really competitive sport because everybody, like, knows everybody.

And it's not about the trophies.

We're not, "I got to get the trophy.

I've got to get it," you know.

People really like just to get together.

This is their lunchtime.

Let's draw one.

Jeepers, look at that!

[barking] Wow!

[children laughing] [splashing] [sea lion snorting] Here's a fish... and this fellow's catching it.

Look at that.

Whoa, jeez!

That really is something, isn't it?

(girl) What's the first thing you look for when you're drawing the sea lion?

When you look at a sea lion, you note their supple lines.

The only animal that compares is the mountain lion.

They're built the same smooth, flowing way.

They're really beautiful.

You know why it's easy to draw these animals?

They don't have any hands, and hands are hard to draw.

They have flippers.

I should have a picture of that fellow, but I haven't got room on the paper.

What materials do you use when you're drawing outside?

The best stuff I've found for sketching outdoors, especially a place like here, is cardboard.

I use these rubber bands, cheap paper, and a felt tip pen.

It'd be wise for you to use a pencil.

With a pencil, you can make changes.

With pens, that line goes down and stays down.

You can't change it very well.

[splashing] How did you get interested in drawing animals?

When I was about your age, I used to come to a zoo like this, the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago.

There were animals there, and I used to go and draw.

It was fun.

Where do you think kids should go when they want to do some drawing outside?

What's wrong with the zoo?

You've got people to draw.

You've got everything.

[water splattering] [birds chirping] There's one thing these polar bears have in common with sea lions: They both love water.

Let's draw this one here.

You draw a big ball like that.

The head is another oval shape.

Notice the way the eye of a polar bear-- the head fits in here and swings around.

Their mouth comes up... nose...ears... then the neck.

And of course, he's walked away.

But I've drawn so many polar bears, I don't actually need him.

I can draw him from, just from memory.

(Tommy) How can you draw the animal when he's moved?

I've drawn so many polar bears that I see what he looks like and the pose, and then I remember what it looked like.

It's just a lot of practice: drawing and drawing and drawing.

Now and again I'll look up to refresh my memory.

The hump of the shoulder blade comes down like that.

The polar bear has a long neck.

Now, let's make this paw reach further forward.

I don't like that mouth there, and the nose needs fixing.

[spattering] And that's how you draw a polar bear.

[chirping] Tammy, how many miles do you suppose we walked?

(Tammy) About a mile an hour.

[laughing] We covered a lot of territory, I'll tell you.

How many years have you been drawing?

Oh, I started drawing when I was about halfway up your thigh there, six years old.

Is a person born an artist, or can he learn to be one?

I bet your grandma bakes wonderful apple pies, and no one told her how.

It's a talent.

Some people have a talent for drawing pictures like your grandma bakes pies.

But you've got to work hard at it like your grandma did... to be an artist, that is.

I think we should get going.

The sun is getting kind of low.

(woman) Laurie Cauthen has been interested in horses ever since she can remember.

She always dreamed of owning one herself.

She worked for months to earn money to stable the horses.

When she finally bought Magic, she had quite a surprise six months later.

Tell me about that, Laurie.

Before we bought her, that was one of the conditions: If she wasn't pregnant we would buy her.

We had every test run on her.

They said, "She's not pregnant."

Six months later, everybody says, "She looks like she's about to have a foal."

So we had the vet check her, and he said that she was.

Three days later, she had a filly.

Have you had to be two kinds of masters, one to the filly and one to Magic?

Yeah.

With Magic, I don't have to be as firm and forceful as I do with Sunshine.

Sunshine reminds me of a little girl because she's so full of energy.

I work with her like I'd work with a child because if you do something wrong once, she'll always remember it.

When I start working with Sunshine, I have to get her calmed down and put the lead rope on without letting her know.

I get her to stand there while I rub her and brush her a little bit.

Then I start walking her as much as I can until she won't take it anymore.

[rooster crowing] ♪ The hardest part about training them is, you can't let them get away with anything because they'll never do right.

♪ I've had to practically train Magic all over.

When I first got her, I got her pretty well trained.

Then after she had the filly, she's forgotten just about everything.

I've been working with her for two or three weeks, and she's catching on again.

When I ride Magic, the signals I use are pressure with the knees and clucking sounds and maybe just a little tap.

I don't ever really kick her hard.

She seems to be recognizing the signals better now that I've been working with her.
