There are plenty of researchers working hard to find new ways to fight Varroa mites. I am one of them and every time some news about a potential way to help honey bees to fight this terrible parasite emerges I get excited. This video is about new research from Dr. Stephen Pernal and Dr. Erick Plettner who are screening for new compounds to kill Varroa destructor.

Have you heard about the research Paul Staments has done on a fungi based supplement for bees? He believes it adds to the overall health and natural defenses of bees.
Yes I have. It is in my video idea list. Thanks
Great new work😊
Our bees are good this year. It seems to a game of treating mites at the right time and not getting behind on the routine of treatments. Good luck everybody. Keep trying! Make more honey bees 🐝
Dont think mites will get resistance to thymol or oxalic acid.
So we have a lot of time.
But why not fund a few queen breeders and perhaps some willing associated beekeepers, to find and create very high levels of mite resistant traits in bees.
A simple way of setting this up would be, that every beekeeper participating checks the cleansing behaviour of his or her bees, via marking brood with a varroa pheromone. This is being developed at the moment. These queens are then send on to one of the funded queen breeders. These then use the large number of selected queens they get, to produce drones and queens showing these traits and letting them cross. As a token of appreciation this breeding group then sends 4 queens back to every beekeeper who sampled his colonies and an extra 10 queens for every legitimate queen that was sent in. This way we would re queen many of our hives and putting forth only good genetics. Of course this would need to be done on a large scale and run for quite a number of years.
Project Apism is working on that. I’ll feature videos about it in the future.
@@InsideTheHiveTV That is good to hear, that it is being done on a small scale,Better yet this type of project would need to be rolled out in every country, perhaps with government involvement. The problem with varroa is there are too many things being tried and even though many are effective or beneficial a lot is wasted energy, as there is not one unified approach. As you know the little blighters are hard to get rid off. The main hurdle I can see is the problem that bees breed with surviver stock that for very good reason has been helped by us the beekeepers. The only solution long term is going to be genetics.
@@InsideTheHiveTV Am looking forward to those videos.
@@InsideTheHiveTV and how can I get involved? Am in the south of France.
@@lasource811 there are projects planned for the far future involving citizens scientists. Please sign up to my email list to be notified about those. Thanks.
Looking forward to it 🐝🐝🐝 Humberto. Cheers from Silvana from Uruguay 🇺🇾
Hello Silvana from Uruguay. How is the weather in South America. Thanks!
@@InsideTheHiveTV Hi Humberto. I have just received the notification of your answer from UA-cam today🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️. The weather is quite hot. I really enjoy your channel. 🤗
Ok you are totally right. My feral bees have mites. Never seen one but you are right. Actually i just opened one of my hives. The hive was totally infested with mites just like the ones in your video. I was wrong and you are right. Foolish me.
If your feral bees originated in Southern California, they are very likely escapees whose ancestors are package Queens bred in the tropics. Those artificially produced Bees have contaminated the genetics of any feral colonies there. You need to obtain your feral colonies from remote areas that have not been overrun by commercial queen breeders and their dumbed down sickly stock.
Been using oxalic acid but this video had me thinking of @AntsCanada and the mites some of his colonies of ants have experienced. In his case, there was a beneficial springtail that could be introduced. I'm curious if somehow springtails may help treat varroa?
I have no idea. It doesn’t hurt to check it out. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thank You !
You're welcome!
Congratulations! Mihai beekeeper from Roumania.
Thanks
The mite cannot form a resistance to Formica acid.
I have heard of different treatments for mites, so does anyone have a good suggestion for treating during the early Spring flow? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Beekeepers should stop serving the interests of industrial agriculture, and instead focus on the interests of Life...
Propping up weak bees..they should be talking about pesticides that varroa getting blame for..tfs though
Yes!!!! 100% this! We literally poison their food and then blame mites. Ffs.
@@aliciabowmanyoga7327 exactly..then they bring back the pollen..you have a dbl deep packed to the gills with bees and zero wash literally, and then they don't winter or barely winter and you have classic sign of varroa..full of honey and no bees ,except it's not varroa but pesticides...commercial beekeepers won't say shit,and us sideliners and hobbyist feel it..lots of time and money in varroa, I have hives wash 12 just under problematic area around 15 and I'd put em against anyone's bees.But I've dealt with pesticides and heavy losses and it sucks,luckily I moved mine and drew new combs and no more problems.
Pesticides it's responsible
What do you think about lithium?
Look forward to the Live Humberto.
Great.
I have a question the cells of the honey bees I seen a UA-cam video that the honey cell is on an upward angle. Do you know the angle. Is the brood cell at the same angle. They said the honey cell is slightly up words so the honey doesn’t drip out before the water content is evaporated. What ever information you have will be helpful. Thank you.
cells all at same angle all multi tasking, pollen, brood, honey..
@@michaeljoncour4903 ok so I can use a frame from the honey for the brood and the other way also. Thanks
you also don't need to use queen excluders , you can put uncapped brood through a honey extractor, they will not come out unless spun at abnormally high speed, much easier to monitor health of brood and vigour of queen. i ran 350 hives never used excluders, you just uncap around brood.
@@michaeljoncour4903 wow great information. I have one and it’s a lot of work. 350 I hope you had a crew of people to help. 👍
@@Jimflawless927 thank you for your comment ,it gave me a smile, just me and my 4foot 10 inch wife. she even helped me load 115 hives on to truck on occasions...no loader !!
Hmm thats 1 am in Amsterdam 🙈 we can watch afterwards?
Yes you can. After the event the video will still be available on UA-cam for free to the world.
Gene drive those mites to extinction.
You need to change this it’s all most Christmas 25 the show was for the 8 th december
Ale powstaje miód syntetyczny i super kombajn do zapylania roślin to pszczoły nie będą potrzebne ! Straszne czasy! Pozdrawiam! Polska
I agree things are not looking good.
Lol they need to change the name ha ha it’s mess ! Ha ha
I need some name suggestions for the livestream. Get ready! :)
They are very secretive of the product , obviously, but I guess the company that they are setting up to market the product will give it some flash
Let me handle that. :)
I won't quit. I just get another hive and try again.
Do you have a mentor?
@@InsideTheHiveTV yes I do. Randy of 628 DirtRooster channel. He helped me overcome my fear of bees. He has passed along a smorgasbord of information.
10million doesn't buy much now days😅hope they got their moneys worth. Should be interesting info looking forward to it, Ty much Humberto.
You are welcome. Lots of interesting research videos coming.
super mites
There are always that possibility.
a solusion ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Crap no solutions
this channel is a rabbit hole of corporate shillary!
hi, why do you fight Varroa mites? Bees have to do that work. I never treated my black bees against mites, now for 20 years. At the beginning I had big problems but now Varroa is no problem at all with 100 hives on 4,9mm cell size. english-resistantbees-es
