You already watch the videos.

Now lets dive inside the science.

The IHTV Academy is where the work actually happens - Live, unfiltered, and as close to the bench as you can get without a lab coat.

I am Dr. Humberto Boncristiani. I come from a family of beekeepers. I have spent my career as a honey bee researcher at U.S. universities and the Federal Government, studying the biology, pathogens, and behaviour of Apis mellifera.

On YouTube, I translate scientific research into language that working beekeepers can use. The IHTV Academy is something different. It is the place where you do not just hear the translation β€” you watch the science happen in real time.

When I sit down to read a new paper, you can be there. When I put a sample under the microscope, you can look through the lens with me. When I build the video that eventually appears on YouTube, you see every decision before the public sees the result.

This is not a course. It is not a webinar series. It is access to the working life of a honey bee scientist β€” ongoing, unpredictable, and exactly as interesting as the science itself.

WHAT LIVE ACCESS MEANS

THE LAB

Available to Lab members

Whenever I am working at my computer β€” reading and annotating a scientific paper, editing a video in DaVinci Resolve, analysing digital photos or microscopy images, reviewing data β€” I go live.

You see my screen. You see my process. You ask questions in the chat and I answer while I work. It happens frequently β€” whenever the work is happening.

THE INNER HIVE

Available to Inner Hive members

When I am at the microscope examining specimens, mounting samples, analysing pathogens, or working with physical material from the hive β€” Inner Hive members get a separate exclusive live stream.

These sessions are rarer and completely unscripted β€” they happen when the science happens. That unpredictability is the point. You are not watching a lesson. You are in the lab with me.

WHY NOW

I have been making videos for years. But the live sessions β€” The Lab and The Inner Hive β€” are something I have never offered before. This is the moment when the Academy stops being a membership and becomes a front-row seat to working science.

I am also keeping the Academy deliberately small. I am one scientist. I cannot give genuine attention to thousands of members. The people who join early help shape what this becomes β€” and they become the foundation of a community that I think is unlike anything else in the beekeeping world.

Ready to join?

Start with The Lab at $10/month. Watch your first live session this week.

Cancel anytime. No questions asked.
