Fascinating talk. Any idea how the hell can we test the Apivar strips to make sure the strips themselves are good? Huge manufacturing quality control issues.
Great presentation! I was interested in the comment that southern continents aren’t treating. Instead of a possible connection to the environment differences with northern continents could this be more of a first verses third world issue? We in the US have “productionize” bees to the extent that they can’t survive is the topic to consider? We see this with other livestock and agriculture in our corporate farming. We want bees to live but only if they produce and that level of production is expected to go up every year. Would our bees survive better if we expected less profit?
Apis Serana is about 80% of Apis Mellifera size. And it so happens Serana only has varroa in drones. SO... it must be that varroa probably don't like the normal worker bee cell size of non-drones. Considering the female varroa are larger,... its possible they can't navigate the smaller worker cell size in worker serana. And this supports some of the ideas that people thought that artificially larger comb size induced by humans were more disease and parasite vulnerable in apis mellifera.
out breed the mites in the spring do what the bees want create more hives for every large hive you have for honey make four other nuc's to provide bees and brood for your honey hive when they need a work force when honey harvest is over make more hives. pull drone brood every two weeks on all hives allowing it to mature in one sacrificial hive that you treat you will be containing the varroa in to central location and dribble weekly .make queens and hives combine to build honey hives brake down to control varroa by removing drone frames.

Thank you.
Thank you
Thanks 👍 good health and God bless

Great presentation. Looking forward to more presentations like this. When is Dr. Stephen Martin’s work going to be shared at the NHS?

The accepted logic is that varroa prefer drone cells due to the longer pupation period.
What size strip do you use for fluvalinate? I thought fluvalinate was slow acting - do you see dead mites within 6 hours?
Pretty well established at this point sugar roll is pretty inaccurate
Dawn dish soap is best!
they all are inaccurate dependent on collected bees, bee hatch , drone hatch, to many variables

The adds every 5 minutes made it unbearably hard to watch. I had to stop what I was doing and walk over and hit skip
Dont use the app. Watch through an alternate browser with add blocking. 🚫 adds.
Interesting. Listening to bob binnie and kamon and they say to use alcohol wash is the best way to test for mites. Thought sugar roll was outdated
