very good but what dance step was that at the end?
Ha, Yes indeed that is know as the Beekeeper Jig. Feel free to copy it at that the night clubs. *The concrete slab moved under my footing* :)
Cheers for watching, for more help with dancing check out our podcast :)
Hello! Are you still using this treatment for mites? I plan on using powder sugar to promote cleaning and check once a month for mite count. And use this as my treatment when counts are too high. I live in Indiana, USA
Hi there Gary, great video. I have been using apilife var for 4 years. I started using hive dr vented bases this season - would a semi-vented base such as this impact on the effectiveness of the fumigant? cheers Charl
C Van yes I would, I recommend sealing any mesh boards during the treatment. Thanks for the comment.
Hi, I was wondering if you only have to use one "biscuit" per colony? I expected to have to use one "biscuit" for each of my colony's two brood boxes.
Yes you are correct one biscuit for one colony, that is for New Zealand condition's.
OK, thank you for responding back, sir. I'm located in Texas and the advice I've received here is to use one biscuit per brood box. Since varroa mites are so devastating, I decided to play it safe.
On a side note, I was curious if you've every used any of the Oxalic Acid treatments , and, if so, what you think of them?
Thanks!
Am I to late to treat my bees September ?
oh dear, those gloves. Disease spreaders :(
