Research funding is the issue i.e. WHO is providing the money - big pharma are far more interested in developing the next big seller and providing money to conduct research that does not interfere with their bottom line.
Very good, and I mostly agree about Large Queens, however I've seen smaller Queens brood like craaaazzzyyyyy ..but as a general rule I agree and have witnessed the same thing , Good Video
11:11 which treatments are included in this assumption? At 51:02 we get our answer. Oxalic and formic acids weren't a part of the study discussed at 11:11.
In Western Australia they do not have Varroa or small hive beetle. Their Bees are extraordinary, very vigorous and very productive with hives producing between 200 and 300 kg of honey per year.
This presentation (and the one given by Roger Patterson) presents US-figures/practices and implies that we have the same problems here. I just don't see any evidence for this in my colonies.
Letting the bees draw out a brood frame from starter strips and not using old comb to graft from will do the same, good luck grafting from fresh comb. It helps to sand down the tongue on a Chinese grafting tool to make it wafer thin.
Doesn't the Nicot system raise the queens from eggs? I have never used one but that was my understanding. On another subject who knew honey bees transmitted STDs.
The thought is to do more damage to the mites living on the bees than the damage done to the bees by the treatments...the so called "soft" treatments are already being shown to be doing significant damage to queens, drones, and workers than initially thought...
That's why I am thinking on re queening with hygienic queens. The guys I've been talking to only had I varroa mite found in his 100 hives. To me that sounds good. I'm a firm believer that the diseases varroa spread is doing more damage than we can see. But hygenics seem to deal with them better.
in queen production we need to pick better loaf of bread. bun in oven all that. but just as we poke squeeze smell and protect once we choose a loaf of prized sandwich bread, so why not do the same to eggs. heck they might smell different too. but we spend less time grafting punching etc.as we do the breed isle. if you put a bun in the oven i want the best.please see handling instructions. bun. bun oven.
From Nicaragua: Thanks so much for all those amazing lectures you kindly share.
thank you for quality of video and audio! a breath of fresh air with bee keeping lectures.
One of the best lectures I have seen here. Thank you
Dr. Clarence has some good lectures on drone congregation areas too

He said miticides right off the bat. OA is an organic acid
Whats the biggest size larvae relative to full size of comb that u should use when grafting a queen
What a great value of lecture

Use Jenter or Nicot kit and you will not have problem with residues in wax.....simple
No idea what these are???

Renee Brown Its also widely known that queens are carriers of viruses and transmit those viruses to her off spring...horizontal transmission...
the replacements get out into the wilds.. as the bees prevented you from clipping the wings of them.. that is WHY they are doing it !
Best to make your own queens - instead of buying someone else's culls
Besides, miticides inbreeding is one of the reasons , so one must have virgin Queen from different source from where he bought last time

Did I just hear queen's are getting STIs??
What mitecides r affecting the queens, what’s safe
He's not talking about oxalic acid, formic acid.
Using the Palmer method he uses eggs to graft
He uses larvae as close to egg as possible. ua-cam.com/video/R7tinVIuBJ8/v-deo.html
