I had to check mite levels in my hives to see what direction I'm going to treat depending on what I find. #mites #honeybees #gardening #farming #livestock #treatingmites.
Great tip on letting the shaker jar rest & re-shake! For what it's worth. I'm extremely happy with our Formic single pads 2, 10 days per pad. Less heat gas stress but we still covered the closed/open brood cycle. Last Fall we did a 3 pad rotation with a late season OA heavy blast. Wish I would get past the dead polar bears and mite wash too :) Nice job, thanks for posting.
Good video! Mine had way more mites than yours. I've done two OA treatments, and two to go. Figure 4 treatments will be good then recount mites. Look forward to the recount!
Great information Brad! Thanks for sharing your knowledge buddy!
Need to do some mite testing before splits. Like your method. Thanks for the information. Take care.
Bees in good shape. Nice video
Thankyou

doing some of the same
The bees look great, but you gotta "kill them mites till they die!"
Gonna hit them with OA 3 times and then try some of those sponges they been talking about.
