You are expressively proud of all your employees. God bless.
I wish here in Australia we could start running these tools in order to be ready for when it's needed...
For those of you who run one of those at a time, and we use a 120VAC inverter that clips onto the car battery. Make sure that the Watts of the inverter is greater than the "tool" and you should have no problems. We have used an cheap inverter from harbor freight for 3 years this way now without any problems. Much easier than hauling a generator to the out yards for us.
Bob, thanks for adding in the text descriptions to these videos, lots of good data there, I usually pause each time to make sure I get all the meaning.
Bob on your comment on the Instantvap battery usage,that is true if you are using the 5ah battery like most people have around the house. That battery will only do about 6 hives at 4 grams. I had that issue. After talking with Rob at Lorobbees I found that you can use the 12ah battery and treat a whole lot more colonies on just one battery. I don't know how many hives you have in each yard but a yard of 32 to 40 would be treated on one battery, especially at the 2 gram dose. You need another battery for the next yard. Some guys run a charger with their generator and recharge the batteries as they come off the vaporizer. Instantvap is very fast and once you use one you won't want to drag cords around anymore. Also it is much safer for the operator. With cords you have a chance of electric shock.
I must share that after the first season of using a much higher dose than approved, 3 grams per deep, I had significantly less winter losses this year. Anecdotal for now, but has my attention going forward.
Thanks for sharing interesting information for the application of OA Bob
Wonderful picture of you all!
All Australian beekeepers looking to you guys now, Varroa seems here to stay. Appreciate these vids
The more education on this the better. For all of us.
´After like 40 years plus we didn´t get a grip on the problem. Instead we increase the dosage resulting in more resistant mites. That´s a way to select mites. Anyway I have to increase too...🥲 So you would probably be better off without treating. Selecting from what survives. Meanwhile the rest of the beekeeping world supports all Australian beekeepers for the work we didn´t get done to this point.
Great video. Good looking crew you got there! Thank you, Bob!
Great video,thanks for sharing Bob
I agree with Mike B, the adjustable spring loaded doser is such a nice tool, far less fumbling for me and faster than a scoop.
Good info! Thanks
Hello Bob that is a super great looking group of people. Thanks
Thanks again Bob. I will be using OA for the first time this year.
I have been using this method since I started in 2020. Haven't lost a hive yet. Effective if used properly. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for sharing
Good Sunday morning to you Bob.
Enjoy the vedios you share.
Like the group picture.
I think I need to help clear a few of those sour woods ; give em a new home in KY.😊
Thanks from Russia, we are learning with your blog
I am convinced mites are easily managed with splits and brood breaks for spring, extended OA use during during and summer, then Apigaurd in august and finally, vaporization in December. I have only ever had small nucs abscond with temps over 100 up to 110!!! It's totally ecceptable in my book.
Thanks a lot for the video. For the this information.
Just in the process of treating my colonies and nucs. I’ve been using apivar strips on some and oxalic acid sublimation (vapourisation) on others. I’m now questioning whether I have given a high enough dosage! Thanks very much for sharing the higher dosage information, I will increase my next two treatments. Many thanks👍
I use that same provap tool and caps to treat my double deeps in the winter. For the past few years, I've filled that cap until it's overflowing to treat each hive and it measures at least 7 grams. I like that those caps hold a big dose in one go.
😅Continuing to get the bees 🐝 ready for winter! Nice video ,Thanks Bob!
I really like the doser for the provaps. I have mine set at 4g and no scooping or changing caps. My next video has some revealing results from 4 treatments on double deeps every 4 and 5 days. Thanks for sharing Bob. My video a couple weeks ago has the doser….nice addition when you’re by yourself.
I ordered 6 new doser with caps for our ProVaps a few days ago and am looking forward to trying them. 👍
I like your videos and usually watch them while I work. It will be very helpful if you also read trough the written part, that way Viewers like me won’t miss out on important information. Great work tho.
Hey Bob, Nice pic of sourwood with unripe seed pods at 2:23 - 2:27 and small trees everywhere in that yard. Really looks like the it grows like a weed. Cheers
Thanks. That property has literally thousands of small Sourwood trees.
If our industry had more investment or involvement, we’d have adequate dose recommendations. But that’s a double edge sword. Are beekeepers actually engaged to allow for proprietary investment? I find a lot of push back from beekeepers when new technology is introduced into our industry.
I notice the same. Could also have to do with beekeeper demographics
I think it’s hard for us to invest when we do not have a lot of greenbacks after everything is said and done. On top of that if you give your money and research is done and products are made they then show they are all about profits for themselves and place pattens. Giving them money is also no guarantee that they will not se your money wisely or that they will achieve anything notable. We need more George Washington Carvers in this world.
It is interesting that in most areas of agriculture, everything is dialed in but not apiculture.
That’s what I’m saying. If we don’t encourage investment (profit making), don’t expect innovation to follow suit in a updated manner.
I think this is where the hobbyist comes in. I’m not trying to turn a profit. I spend money like the crazy person I am because I love having bees.
I think the industry could look to some of us to spend a bit more money on products as well as take risks with treatments because if all my bees died I would be sad but not financially ruined.
The backyard beekeeper is a market for trinkets and generally underutilized and under appreciated for our passion.
If my state university called me tomorrow and asked if I would be willing to participate in a study I would bend over backwards.
If they called and wanted to know if I would donate to a program I wouldnt just write the check, I would host bake sales.
It can’t be all on the farmers, you guys get hit in the teeth enough. Point those research biologists in our direction, we have cash to spare and want to contribute in meaningful ways
Nice picture of the crew. Didn’t know Mr Oliver Anthony, standing next to Selena, worked for you
Morning Bob! I’ve doing a lot of OAV as well. Hot for bee work last week, especially wearing a respirator.
Next week is supposed to be cooler in our area. It will be winter before we know it. 😊
If your standing instead of having your face so close to the vaporizer you can sneak by without wearing a mask. But you might need a vaporizer more like the VaporizET 😉
I always use 4g/box when I apply OAV. Haven’t had any issues or observed any ill effects to brood/bees. It works well. I think you’ll make the same observations.
A 30mL med cup makes loading the doses into the caps much easier. Just scoop the OA into the med cup and gently tamp it down. Then, mate the inverted empty cap with the upright loaded med cup and flip them over. The dose will fall perfectly into the cap. Give the med cup a little tap & twist before removing it. Voila.
Hi Bob and thanks again for all the great videos and information.
I take it you sampled the mite load in a few nucs via mite wash and extrapolated that to the entire yard when determining what action to take. You described it as low or moderate. What sort of numbers were you seeing before you decided on this particular treatment regimen?
Also, some time after you complete the second treatment, will you sample again to verify effectiveness, and what is the highest level you would consider acceptable to take no further action?
We were just finding a few in a wash but I need to see one or less for this time of year and yes we'll check again after the second treatment. I've learned the hard way to always spot check after treating to make sure it worked well.
Couldn’t agree more with your thoughts on the dosage for single nucs and deeps. We run Dadant here as you know and they are big frames and need a lot of oxalic acid and I’m finding a double dose of two. 5 g seems to be really effective. It’s interesting you’re talking about the other vaporisers on the market. The funny thing is I just bought a second vaporiser which is very similar to the pro vape which I know you have in America and Canada. I was here is called a Sublimox . I think we talked about this before but my point is, I’ve just bought a second one when the new vaporisers come out and you know what I’m not bowing to pressure I’m using what I paid for and it will probably last three or four years at least so I’m not gonna be using the new generation vaporisers cause, I find they work just as well, but I know that’s open debate. You use what you have you use what you invest in. I use a electric lead from my inverter on my truck which works absolutely great and as you say you do need to invest in a lot of batteries no matter what anyone says you need a lot of batteries. Great video Bob take care.
Thanks Richard. 😊
Good Morning Bob !
You need a life
Good morning sir!
When you are in a six month dearth what do you get ................................................................................ NO HONEY! A bit of rain this week so maybe enough to carry our hives through the winter? Because of where we live we generally do our Oxalic fall treatment end of October. Now thinking and trying two or possibly three grams and hoping for positive results. Thank You for the informative videos!
Nice and easy that way to work it, it seems less stressful on the bees. Do you like not closing the entrance up?
I ran extension power to my bee yard, it has made it so convenient.
I'm only in the 20 range so with 1 vape it doesn't take to long, but more extra caps and a 2nd vaporizer would make it quick and done.
We do block the entrances with a rag sometimes but with the heavy dose I thought we would skip it. We will be checking numbers again after the second treatment to make sure it went well.
Thanks Bob. I noticed you don't cover the entrance when treating. Any reason besides saving time?
Sometimes we use a sock or rag but didn't in this instance. I think with that heavy dose we're probably OK.
Hi Bob, thank you for sharing your experience, knowledge and making videos. @1.00 you highlighted you'd OA treat further etc. I'm curious to know what approach you adhere to for multiple OA treatment?
I have previously mention to you I use a 3 day spaced treatment of OA for 16 days. However last year my OA 3 day treatment continued for 54 days (my records not to hand at the moment) to bring Varroa down to multiple zero kill. On the 16 day the kill rate was going up and continued to be steady. My treatment with OA started in October and ended in mid November. I concluded that there were 2 possible causes for this unusual recorded event. Robbing and Drones. By November both had finished and the numbers became zero.
Spring treating from the second week of February returned zero's over 16 days.
The amount of OA used corresponded to what you've mentioned in your video about 4 gms. Re-infestation with varroa is a problem if OA is used too early.
I recorded every smidgeon of data.
I now only have a small number of colonies. My method of OA treatment is too intense for commercial beekeepers.
Bob, what do you do about predatory wasps etc that target weak colonies? I haven't seen your workers putting out traps.
I would probably do at least five treatments, perhaps more, four or five days apart. I think that no matter how close together the treatments are the duration of time needs to be at minimum longer than a normal brood cycle. It sounds like you definitely accomplished that.
Even though they do cause trouble we don't do anything for controlling wasps yet.
@@bobbinnie9872 Thank you Bob for your reply. I use the 3 day cycle as OA levels return to normal after 3 days (as I understand). Using screened floors (varroa floors) to catch dropped debris allows me to fully monitor the colonies (including nucs). These floors are vulnerable to wax moth larva hosting and other local issue in different areas.
Bob, what do you do other than washes to monitor for varroa? Do you use sticky sheets to monitor varroa kill while doing an OA treatment?
I monitor the 2 days after (each 3 day cycle) treatment, finding the kill drop information enlightening. I know which colony has the highest infestation etc.
Note, I use a OA applicator called a "GasVap" which I have adapted slightly to accommodate wet windy weather and have multiple "caps" to apply OA. OA crystals reforming and causing pipe blockage of the extensions used is prevented by warming the pipe. OA crystallisation is caused by cooling, stop the cooling (using a warmed replaceable pipe) and blocking doesn't happen.
What was the OA machine you use. Thanks I enjoy your videos are you going to be at Hive Life this year 😊
We're using ProVap 110 units in this video.
Good morning Mr Binnie.
Good morning!
Ha Bob I enjoyed the video, I am using oa as well my dose just went up because of this video Than you. oh yea question if u do not mind I got the beautiful lids and shims from u this week I got them unpainted because I needed them fast, do u folks paint them because they look better or does the material rot with rain.. Thanks Have a blessed week
Hi Frances. We only paint the edges to keep water from soaking into the end grain. The flat surfaces are OK the way they are. Even without paint I don't see much evidence of rotting but they do seem to fatigue a little quicker. If you seal those edges with paint those lids will last you a couple of decades or more.
@@bobbinnie9872 Thanks so much hope you have a very Blessed day
@@bobbinnie9872 Thanks Bob hope to see more videos I wish every day but I will be thankful for the Sunday video. They are wonderful and help so many people. God Bless You and your crew and your family
Thank you. @@framcesmoore
I also use this OAV sublimator, but have to stop occasionally to clear it out or the OA clogs the the tool and the cap blows off. I didn't see your folks dealing with that in this video.
Keep the temperature a little warmer and make sure it’s up to heat before using
We've never seen a cap blow off but I've heard of others having that problem. We do occasionally clean our tubes between uses.
Hello Bob. I split 20 five frame nucs July 1st. Using queens I purchased from you. I added another five frame box on top. A few weeks ago. I treated them with 2 treatments 15 ml of apiguard two weeks apart. I have been feeding them 1.5 to 1 syrup. The queens didn't complety shut down. I think they didn't because feeding them the entire time.
👍
Mr. Bonnie how much does the oxalic acid shut down the queen and for how long?
I would suspect that would have to do with dosage amount too.
Thank you sir.
I don't notice signs of shut down.
Bob do you guys block off the entrances as you give the treatment? thank you
We do in cooler weather.
Hi Bob!
You mentioned that you plan on using 8 grams of oxalic acid on your double deeps. I have two questions regarding how you will do this:
1. How will you get 8 grams of oxalic acid to fit in the ProVap 110 cap? Or are you simply going to use two caps containing 4 grams of oxalic acid and vaporize the colony twice?
2. If you are applying all 8 grams through the entrance of the colony, do you think you will get an even distribution of oxalic acid throughout the colony? Are you concerned that the bottom deep (specifically near the nozzle of the ProVap 110) will be hyper concentrated where as the frames in the upper deep will have a significantly lower concentration of oxalic acid?
We could do it twice or use two guns at one time. There probably will be a heavier concentration just inside the entrance but although it won't be perfectly dispersed throughout I think the rest of the space will be good enough.
Bob I like overwintering new colonies from splits in double deep nucs. In that case I am assuming I would use 4 grams of OA considering it is 10 frames,although the top box is mostly food stores with maybe a little brood depending on the population. I like overwintering in the nucs because the bees seem to like moving up more than spreading out.
I would use 4 grams because of the extra space.
@@bobbinnie9872 Thank you Bob. I appreciate the advice.
So when you mention household current does that mean your using a 120v gas generator? I tried to get more information regarding this but haven’t much luck. I been been using a inverter on a car battery but always wondered if I can just plug it to my gas generator
Yes, we're using a Honda generator.
Bob, do you overwinter those nucs as is or put them over double screen boards? And if so what’s your success rate? Thanks for the videos!
I think most of these will have enough bees to overwinter in the nuc box and the ones that don't will be put over a double screen board. I expect an 85% success with all of them.
Any concerns about the oa residue on the honey being a health concern for the honey connsumers?
Recent research has shown that even massive doses don't have a big affect and the residues are still below acceptable levels. Of course honey already has some oxalic acid in it.
🤗👍
Bob, would using 2gr Tabs streamline the application process speed, eliminating the need to walk back and forth preparing the cups with powder.
Just drop a tab and cap it.
It seems likely that it would be more convenient but the ones I've seen added to the cost of treatment too much so I haven't tried them.
I read an interesting article today about quinoa it has enough oxalic acid in the water droplets it creats to control the pests that attack it 😂
King Bob!
Bob. You are pro. Can you do the trial with using busanar vaporization? In my opinion it is much more healthier for people and it seems it works. Even application seem to be faster.
I looked for information on busanar vaporization and couldn't find any. Is there another term for this?
@bobbinnie9872 it is Russian ;)
I would recommend you contact them and become distributor.
My scheme is:
First bee check Apidez
We have rapeseed honey
Than Akacia
Afterwards I treated with bisanar in liquid form twice/three times(so easy on bees)
Once oxalic acid
Than we have sunflower honey
Treat with ekopol
(All splits I treated right away after creation with ecopol) no issue with queens etc.
In September of course I need to treat.
I did 1 oxalic and 2 amitraz
Winter once amitraz.
This year I would like to go for ekopol which lasts 2 weeks combine with apiguard one dose.
September treat with oxalic and do only one amitraz eventually oxalic
I see so many people talking about using more than the allowed dose of OA and they seem to be the same people complaining about high mite loads. It surprises me that they dont see the relation. We treat 2 times with formic, July and Oct then clean up with OAV at the legal dose 2 to 3 times over winter and early spring. For 4 yrs mites have been below 1% in June. I truly believe that the people searching for 0% and quadupling their OAV dose are creating their own problems
I respectfully disagree. I have not seen or heard of mite resistance to OA. It sounds like you formic treatments, done multiple times, is working well for you.
@@bobbinnie9872 Bob I follow you religiously and pay attention to all you do. You are one of the few guys on UA-cam that actually understand what you are doing. I think we will have to agree to disagree on this 1 topic and thats ok. Its what keeps beekeeping interesting. I am 1 of the few people I know that use formic more than once per year, mostly because of the warmer than normal falls but I am one of the many that use the legal dose of OAV and no extra. I have good results. I think the key is realizing we will never reach zero. I dont repeat when after a routine treatment I get counts of 1 or 2. Bees will have mites. They tolerate low levels and I just dont see the logic in the quest for a zero count to justify 3 or 4 times the legal dose or countless repeat treatments. Sometimes less is more. Its a snowball affect and we have all seen it with other treatments that are now useless or becoming useless. Mites are adapting to heavier usage of OAV whether we want to admit it or not. Ill be following you as always to watch how you handle the situation. I only maintain a little under 200 hives so I dont have the huge sampling that you do but I feel like its enough that my program makes sense with the results we have. Maybe it also has something to do with the difference in our climate compared to yours. Thank you for all of the vast knowledge you share with us. It helps make us all better beekeepers
With all the foragers still flying during the day, do you find it to be more effective at night or early morning to vaporize or does it matter? Interested hear your thoughts. Thanks
I'm sure it would be better when bees aren't flying but I think this will be good enough to accomplish what we need. If we had less work to do, the first glimmer of light in the morning would be my choice.
Bob so I’m assuming you don’t need to remove the queens prior to an OAV?
No, we've never seen trouble with the queens with this treatment.
Interesting that you don’t seal the hive before introducing the OA vapor. I suppose that it’s impractical on the scale at which you operate. Do you notice a drop in efficacy?
Sealing off the entrance is what makes me procrastinate my treatments, particularly this time of year when bees are congregating around the landing board all day.
I think the heavy dose will do the trick and yes it does save time to skip it.
Hi bob watched a lot of your videos over the past year.question for you how do you go from ten hives to thirty when most of those frames need drawing out including honey suppers and you might want more bees and honey too. What’s a good way
We do a lot of artificial growth by feeding light sucrose syrup at the right time. Of course nothing beats Mother Nature and a good nectar flow. Making small splits that can grow up in time for winter and leaving the original colony big enough to make honey is one way.
Mine go into robbing really fast no matter what I do. How you guys combat that. Have 17 going into winter in old medium style suppers and am trying to get them all into deeps next year. But got to do it foundationless as I am certified organic.get a good government subsidy for it. How would you do it if you don’t mind. We have two main biggish honey flows per year. Two weeks in end of April and two weeks end of June down here in south of France Thanks bob.
Yes, robbing can be a problem here too. We usually use bucket feeders on top for growing colonies and drawing comb. Doing this between flows can keep the colonies growing.
keep the entrance as small as possible. Also keep the space tight. Adjust to the size of the colony bordering it with "les pipes" PIHP ( High Performance Insulated Partition Check for Marc Guillemain and Damien Merit@@davidmaloney2724
Thanks bob and best of luck for the winter
I would like to work in your team. I am from Moldova it's near Ukraine. How I can do it. God bless you!
Thank you for the inquiry but we have enough employees at this time.
Bob: Why don't you try some Formic Pro strips in some nucs. Based on the treatments I did here in Columbia, Tennessee over the last 3 weeks with some daily high temps reaching 99 degrees, I had good mite treatments with no brood or queen damage. Granted handling a formic acid application in hot weather is not that pleasant and probably no more hazardous than vaporizing OA, on a nuc I would use a half of a Formic Pro strip and make sure the top side is covered with the wrapper to slow down the formic acid evaporization rate. Dick Brickner
Hi Dick. To start with thanks for the email with data last week. I appreciate you keeping me in the loop. We could do that with formic. I will probably be playing with Formic Pro in the spring to learn more.
I have used the same approach with Formic Pro. Works just fine for nucs with a mites above treatment level if you just reduce the dose appropriately. And also in extremely hot weather, not a problem if you reduce the rate of offgassing by covering the top of the strip with the wrapper as mentioned. Frankly, what’s needed is a gel formula which releases the formic acid in a more gradual way. As the formic pro is today, if one measures the amount of formic acid released per day, it skyrockets during the first day or two, and then during the last week there’s hardly any active ingredient being released. There’s only a short period of time where it’s in the ‘sweet spot’. Need to find a way to even that out and keep it in the ideal range for effectiveness against the mites without unnecessary harm to the bees.
Does it make any difference whether you put O.A.Vaporiser under or above the brood nest?Thanks Bob
I don't think it matters. I've seen people use rims for the top made with holes for the vaporizer tube that seemed to be just as effective.
Hello Bob, have you checked out the auger fed vaporizer I have made? Works really well. Ive been wanted to make more just have a lack of time right now. If you would be interested in trying one out for winter treatment I would like to send you one to try out.
Someone needs to make a better vaporizer for larger beekeepers. Where can your tool be seen?

I have some more videos to edit and post just haven’t had any time. So this is the last I have of it on UA-cam.
Is all that brush that's turning red, sourwood?
Yes. This sight has very pour soil which leads to them turning red early.
What do u do with the nucs in winter. Do they make it being so small a colony?
Nucs with four to five frames will overwinter in the nuc boxes OK in our area. Any smaller will be put over a double screen board on a strong colony.
Do your deeps have supers while running OAV? If so, does that change your dosage?
We don't treat with supers on but it has been approved. I would think the dosage needs to match the boxes.
I see you are not closing the entrance as I thought was a recommendation? I am sure it is too save time....
I thought it would be OK with the heavy dose. We will be checking numbers again after the second treatment to make sure it went well.
Can amitraz be used to control Varroa? We use amitraz. Can it cause harm to bees?
Amitraz has been used on mites in the US for years. It is the active ingredient in Apivar. When used alone it doesn't seem to harm the bees.
Hi Bob
Can you use OA? In temperatures around a 110 Arizona weather for you.
I've never done it but I've also never heard anyone say you can't. If you do it let me know how it goes.
I'm a truck driver on the road. But I try to keep between 40 and 50 hives. When I get home, I'll try a couple of them and see how it works out. I'll let you know, thanks a lot, Bob.
Did you ever try those tablets I sent you Bob. No measuring required. They should be EPA approved between now and October.
I would be cautious of breathing the OA vapour even with a mask when you are treating a large number of hives. I dont suppose much is known about breathing OA?
Although I don't know the details, OA vapors are nasty in my opinion and respirators with the right cartridges are a must.
Can I buy a vaporizer from you? By delivery to France for example
Thanks for asking but we don't ship out of our country.
Would these Nucs be able to handle a small apigard treatment? I've been wrestling over how to treat my 5 frame Nucs here in Ohio
We treated with apiguard these last two weeks because of the heat. It does cause some disturbance with the brood nest but it’s temporary and I’ve found that we still get great winter bee production
They could handle it but I don't want to slow brood rearing at this point. Our goldenrod is just starting to bloom and they will begin rearing brood on that pollen for winter bees.
