    hey buddy, Great video. Finally go to watching it. So busy these days. All mine are metal tops. I am surprised yours is plastic. I made some 2 inch shims for my hives. I agree they should have one. The way I treated with OA was a bit different. I close the bottom with varroa tray and hit it from the front and closed it. I used the plastic tip for Apimaye hives. Lorabees has those for sale. It works great for me. I may make a video on this next time I treat in a month or so. God bless!

    Great Idea. OAV is essential for mite control. You solved the problem. Good job.

      It seems to work good so far, I get my bees tomorrow and we will treat them soon. I will film it, thanks for watching.

    I adapted a 10 frame slatted rack to fit my hive IQ, and drilled a hole in it for the OA

      That is a great idea, I get my bees tomorrow to put in there, I will treat them soon and see how it works. Thanks for watching and good luck. Do you like the HiveIQ that you have so far? They seem very solid.

    Sorry to hear about losing your bees, I know the feeling.
    Where did you order the Buckfast from?

    • @theboonecountybeekeeper
      @theboonecountybeekeeper  4 місяці тому

      I ordered them at Blue Ridge Honey Bees in Princeton WV. Where are you located? Thanks for watching.

    Would you be able to do a how to video for this? That would be greatly appreciated. We have these hives and are first time beekeepers. I’d hate to screw up my investment.

    I like the solution. Did you put frames in the hive when you did your test?

    • @theboonecountybeekeeper

    I wonder if you can treat through the bottom

      I thought about that to, you might be able to. I actually treated mine this past weekend through that plug that I installed and it done good. Thanks for watching and good luck.
