VIRGIN QUEEN VIDEO

Click Arrow To Watch

A new virgin queen just emerged along with 8 others. I had queen cells ready to hatch but was an hour late.
Nine hatched and I saved 8. One was stung to death by a sister.Listen closely to hear piping noise.

New queen bees are nervous like this and run around till mated. they are only Virgins for a few days so these type views are seldom seen. It's also haed to spot a virgin because she resembles the worker honey bees size.

I AM JUMPING OFF THE FENCE TO THE YES SIDE after 5 years

 I've been in the middle on screens,using what I had but not adding any

5-6 years ago when they got popular I thought great for Varroa Mites and Ventilation.

The following year Small Hive Beetles showed up and put BIG brakes on the idea.

Have been watching and studying since then.

Got real serious this Spring,added a few new screens and saw these hives BOOM

Cleaner Hives Happy Bees  And less Beetles in these hives

HERE ARE A FEW REASONS I THINK HELP

Varroa Mites, defiantly a non chemical help

Dryer less humid because of ventilation

More light, not sure about

Cleaner, less junk to hide in

Access, another beetle entrance but no where to hide on

And Number 1 is it gets new young larva OUT quicker before they have a chance to eat & grow

Legal, certain treatments under the screen are NOT in the hive, Government Fight coming

A Few Problems still are:

COST, at $14-$19 much higher than my pressure treated plywood bottoms

Preservation,Dadant Pine or Rossman Cypress still need treatment,painting

FRAGILE, still need extra care not to crush or break

I am adding about 10 a week and using the bottoms as tops,but still a 5 year plan

You might consider trying a few if not using now

NOT a cure but a definite Help

WHAT TO DO WITH THE SOLID BOTTOMS??

 IF STILL IN USABLE CONDITION USE TO REPLACE OLD BAD TOPS

APITHERAPY, description of the use of Honey Bees, Beehive products for alternative medical treatments like Arthrituis,Multiple Sclerosis and others Bee Venom Therapy

Apitherapy is the use of bee hive products such as honey, propolis, bee-collected pollen, beeswax, bee venom, and royal jelly to maintain good health and in the treatment of a variety of medical conditions.

Arthrituis,Multiple Sclerosis and others.

Propolis is a resinous substance collected by bees from plants and trees and is used to coat the inside of the beehive and the honeycomb cells with an antiseptic layer. Royal jelly is a substance produced by young worker bees and fed to queens.

This is an alternative when conventional medicine is not working.

VARROA MITES on Honey bees. Treat beehives either fall or spring CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD powdered sugar roll instructions

Varroa Mites on honeybees in Beekeepers beehive

This is what the varroa mites look like.

An extreme case of 4 mites on 1 honey bee back.1 on the other bees thorax.

Chemical strip treat with Apistan Fluvalinate
or Check Mite Coumaphos.

I prefer using Api Guard menthol gel,a natural treatment much less harsh and bees wax friendly.

 or Formic Acid but DANGEROUS

Either method you choose DO IT fall or spring,sometimes both.

Keith Delaplane,University of Georgia recommends powdered sugar or ether jar rolls,
or sticky boards on bottom to count mites for treatment decision. 

Don't over use strips to build up immunity to chemical.

Varroa Mite life cycle stages

Always treat before or after Honey flow. 

NEVER with Honey supers on hive
