    I was a bit nervous about doing the Apiguard treatment but after watching the video I am much more confident in my ability to do it.

    Thank you David. I needed to make sure I do this right. It's my first mite treatment. I appreciate you. It's so great that you've recorded this information to be referenced any time someone needs it. What a great legacy you are providing for future beekeepers!

LOve your style. O.......and I bought our hive boxes and packages for March 2022. Thanks again for your most excellent tutoring.

    Good thinking ! 😉 Just did my Apiguard Varroa Mite Treatment today here in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.
    Will do the 2nd required Tray of Apiguard, in two weeks time. Needs to be above 16C / 64F to work correctly. Come mid Sept... Scot gets closer to being nippy! (aka Cold,) As a Nation, didn't invent Whiskey for nothing. 🤣
    Apiguard is a really nice product. Alas, EU, and UK only sell those little Foil Trays amounts (A Vet Meds Licensing Remit.) However, I think in USA and CA, I've seen Beeks have super Big Green Tubs of the stuff. 🤭 Think Kamon Reynolds was using the Tub in his YT Video. 😏

    Thanks David,I use apiguard regularly here in Ireland. I alternate it with a different treatment which I find most effective. If I'm concerned about bees building comb I add one frame of foundation and if they are going to build they start on that, then I take action. If they don't build on it nothing lost nothing gained.

Its a very good demeanor and your unassuming nature makes you a phenomenal instructor. I appreciate all your hard work in these videos. Even experienced beekeepers can gain a tremendous amount of knowledge, and yes confidence in working bees from your effort! Please keep them coming! Oh and I need to put in an order of winter bee kind boards this year.... going to give those a try this winter and see how they do!

  • @RyanFerreri
    @RyanFerreri 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    These videos have been fantastic. I wish there was a one size fits all mite treatment, but there really are different scenarios. For me, the only time I could use Apiguard is when the clover fizzles out mid-July and I take my summer honey off, until when knotweed starts blooming right about now. I can't use Formic Pro in August because it's too hot. So my approach is to do mite counts when I pull honey off in July. If I have mites in my wash, I do an Oxalic dribble to knock off the phoretic mites, then follow up with Formic Pro in September when the temps are cooler. I could also just use Apiguard in that mid July to end of August timeframe, skip Formic Pro, which seems to be hard on queens, and then do OAV once brood rearing pretty much stops in late October. So many variables, so I think it's worth it to learn about all of these methods and use the data available to make treatment decisions. Thanks for the overview of all these options.
