Thank you for all the information. I'm glad to see you have a great plan in place. I'm out here in California and Randy Oliver and his sons are working on the same thing. I have 12 hives and check for mites monthly and treat as needed. My mites loads are staying low thanks to there breeding program and the ongoing maintenance that I do. I appreciate all your informative videos.
Great presentation and much appreciated work. I know average beekeepers like myself don’t realize the hours that go into true research or for that matter creating a video explaining a fraction of it. Thank you all for all you do.
Hi Paul! I have a concern with the approach mentioned at 4:30 where instead of testing for survivability by allowing the mites to run their course, you suggest that you go ahead and treat the colonies to knock back the failures that are not showing good LVG. This seems like a bad way to run a localized breeding program. Any LVG genetics you hope to propagate will get watered down by the drones of the HVG unwanted colonies. It seems like a genetics program would be served better by culling HVG colonies from the genetic pool. Propping them up to survive and continuing to produce drones is working against yourselves.
I’m beekeepers in Jamaica for 20 yers I just deceiver mix of natural ingredients help the bees to fight the Varro might and keep the bees Healthy and strong This year my bees gather a lot of honey bees Population still very high which I never experienced this before
@@MinnesotaBeekeeper this year I see small numbers of Varro mite by exam drone cell During spring and summer and bees activities normally in this time of year some bee hives collapse from the Varro mite. I have 20 hives but only one hive I face problems with when I start treating it with a mixture of natural ingredients by feeding it and I don’t have to change the queen or anything thank you for asking
Are there breeders in the US who have queens, nucs, etc., that are bred for LVG? I’m in southern Kentucky and would love to start beekeeping, but we’re definitely not at any kind of level to consider breeding
Hi Jennifer When you are ready to start find a local supplier of bees. As you get to know more fellow beekeepers you can ask around for a good supplier. Many beekeepers are attempting to raise queens from resistant stock but our LVG method is new and not widely adopted yet.

Glad you guys started making vids again

Hi Jeff
Way to go! You are on the right track.
You are most welcome. Our team appreciates that you find our videos helpful.
So informative, it is great for a layman to see what you guys do. Thanks for posting I have learned a lot and really appreciate it, thankyou.

Hi TB
A belated you are welcome....and thank you!
Please keep going with both: 'hands on' and 'academic' videos. Any experience or research with OXA strips?
Great information I always enjoy your content.
Really interesting trilogy of videos.

I didn't thought America is so far behind in Varroa control.

What are your mite counts?

What are natural ingredients you’ve used to treat mites ? Thanks for more information.
@@hussamibraahim I understand. But it would be really interesting to see what might wash counts would look like. Glad you're having good luck.

When would there be a consumer product introduced to the market? When can we buy mite resistant nukes?
Does anyone know if studies have shown if southwestern US feral/africanized bees are significantly more resistant to mites than other bees?
Where are these mites coming from and why is there a lot more now (if there is) I am just presuming that?
How long are the honeybees in a single crop
