Dead Varroa Mites = Happiness!! Formic Pro Treatment #2

Time to check and see how the hives are doing after the 1st Formic Acid treatment was applied! Are we all queen-right? Do we have brood (baby bees)? So far it looks like the 1st treatment was effective. Now for the 2nd!

Love seeing young beekeepers. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with him. I hope your bees do okay with this treatment. I had a few friends to loose there queens with formic pro.

Good video and that bottom board is very neat.
When you put the patty in, it should not be angled, it should be perpendicular to your frames to get best coverage. Probably doesn't make a huge difference but it was in the manufactures instructions.

You're welcome to ask! I had to take a year off from producing content but I hope to get restarted soon. We can learn together. 👍

At 6 minutes that was a wax moth larva. SHB larva are much smaller.

Thanks! I'll go double check. I sometimes have a hard time telling the difference. Need to study them more!
