Is there an update to this video? I can't find one..
Great tip on Apimaye use with the vaporizer!
Wow man. That looks so easy. I am looking forward to trying mine out!!!
Your gonna love it Bruce! It’s a very fine piece of equipment!
Looking for the updated video on the mite drop. You said you would in the video but can’t find it
After a couple days you can pull that board you made for the bottom and see the mite fall.
Thank you to Greg! You always make it so fun and I learn something new every time I come out.
Thanks Scott for being a part of this community! We appreciate you sharing your knowledge and persimmon cookies!! I annihilated those:) Those we’re Keto right…right?
@@NaturesImageFarmGregBurns Uhhhh..... yeah. Keto. Right.
Good stuff Greg. I've been lucky and have been able to attend several of the Learning Yard days and have enjoyed every one of them. #beethelighthouse
It’s been great having you a part of this community! Y’all are what makes it special! #beethelighthouse
We have Styrofoam hive boxes. We drilled a whole the size of a cork and drilled a cork to fit over the spout, And also put a thin sheet which replaces asbestos in between machine and hive body. It works great, thanks for demonstrating the use of a wine bottle cork.
Need an InstaVap. Looking forward to getting one and Hive Life and visiting your setup. Thanks for the video.
How was the last learning yard. I was in Michigan salmon fishing couldn’t make it. Wanted to see the after wash on that apimaye hive.
We had a packed house and we’re able to pull the honey from the flow hive. It was awesome! How was the fishing?
@@NaturesImageFarmGregBurns fishing was great, took a few friends up with me this time. Caught 15 in total, 2 fish that were 23lbs ea. Had a great time.
@@adamsoutdoors that’s awesome!!
Greg you would be shocked at the phoretic mite drop after dumping in a ton of powdered sugar between the frames. Not a fix but they do groom off a lot of mites. But mask and goggles brother. Ounce of prevention.
hey mike what about mixing some OA with powered sugar and sifting it over the top of frames?
Thanks for sharing Mike! I’m a knucklehead admittedly and rarely use a respirator. It’s like the “floor is hot lava” game as a kid. I’m mindful of the wind but you are right for sure.
@@texasfriendlybeekeepers8210 oooh…that’d be interesting!
How often does it clog up? I would think insulating the spout might be a good idea to keep it from getting recrystallized in there.
Doesn’t clog up at all. Works great!
@@NaturesImageFarmGregBurns nice. I Wana get one. Bees need to help me pay for it though 💰
Sure looked like a ‘How To’ to me...😬😬. Wish I could justify buying one of those contraptions.
Sure is nice. My Oxivap still has quite a few seasons left in it, I hope...thanks for sharing!!
Hit us with the update when u know
30 mites😱4 😉love me some off label🤣 Don't have plastic hives, interesting new machine a bit out of my price range, maybe if they ever do a 1/2 off sale. Ty Greg keep up the great work buddy, Let His Light Shine.👍
I'm gonna have to upgrade to the InstaVap soon. Looks really handy to have. Have you had any issues with yours?
It’s literally a game changer. We’re a couple hundred cycles thru and it’s fantastic. We get about 15 apps per 5AH DeWalt 20V battery. It really shines in the queen and Nuc yard. Fast, easy, cordless…no excuses to not get it out and reign hellfire down on those savages.
cool cork trick
We’ve been doing that for 4-5 years for our mating boxes and it works GREAT!! Quick, easy, cheap.
Great idea about using wine corks. Have a question about Formic Pro. It looked like you just placed the pad in without taking the thin paper off it. Is that so? I have been removing the paper off one side and getting blasted by the Formic Acid smell. Craig / SML BEEs.
Hey Craig! The wine cork is the fastest, easiest, cheapest way I know how to use OAV on plastic dials! The formic instructions state to remove the foil outer wrap but to leave the paper wrap on.
I love your videos.
I love that you love them. Thanks for watching!

We use formic since early 80s.. a sponge in a plastic bag with a 10cm × 1cm cut slit in the bag. And applied cold, liquid with a syringe.. that was kept in a freezer before. So why not put that pad in a bag and do the same cut slit.. and use a portable picnik fridge for keeping it cold before applying. I bet there would be much less stories about lost queens
Thanks for sharing that Danny! Seems like a smart way to go about it! Would love to pick your brain more on this.
Interesting but not approved method.
You you get more detailed on how to do this?
It's nothing complicated.. you can see the sponge in a bag on the last video of 'pcelarski sokak' channel. It usually stays 3 weeks.. 60% formic applied with a syringe. 50 -60cc. You can dose it with how you cut the slit on the bag and apply 3 times once a week or 5 times in 21 days.. some use a treatment of 3 times in 15 days... depending on how strong they are and how hot it is... we all have our ways. I bet if you ask him he'll explain in detail. His climate is more similar to yours.
❤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
No masks? Dangerous move on your part.
Does the directions on formic pro say it’s ok to double up with other treatments. Often these type products say don’t do it
I never seen smoke?
Say again?
When you guys did osilic acid I didn't see any smoke come up and out of there. Love your videos. Thanks for making them.
At the minimum you should be wearing a mask with the proper filters for organic acid vapors. But hey, it's your lungs.
Ratchet straps for all your none Apimaye hives 👍🏼
That would be a great idea! Trouble is that’s A BUNCH of straps!!! “Alexa…put 300 ratchet straps on my shopping list.”
@@NaturesImageFarmGregBurns Oh I didn’t know you had 300 colonies. I’m working up to 120 colonies they’ll all have ratchet straps and Insulation.
@@christopherroop4937 man I tell ya, context is key. What we are able to do, what makes sense do and what is practical to do drastically changes as we grow into scale. At 120 colonies, I bet your intimately aware of that. Keep up the good work!
@@NaturesImageFarmGregBurns You too and thank you for all the good advice and content.
