- Monitoring and treating for Varroa Mite should be the Beekeepers first priority. We have the tools to treat for Varroa Mite in any season. We should use them. A Mite FREE Hive is a HEALTHY Hive and has a better chance of thriving and living through a Canadian Winter.

Thank you. I've been using the fleas on dogs for years. Good on you!
GREAT analogy, bro. First year beekeeper, here. I have approached this venture with the same mindset. This is my herd, my pack, I took the responsibility so I have to treat this with the same respect and discipline. Glad TH-cam suggested your channel. 🫶🏼
I won't be using formic pro ever again. Lost half my queens and killed 10 days of brood in all hives . Wrecked this years honey revenue.
I have never had that experience. What was the temperature when you treated? I have been using it for years and it works every time.
@@Innisfilcreekhoney I'm near Sault ste Marie. Treated around the end of May, if you recall it was through a cool spell. High of 22c, most days were around 16.
@@Innisfilcreekhoney watching other keepers, I've come to conclusion that with years of use, many have accidentally breed formic resistant queens by culling all the non resistant. Was interesting to see Ian steepler different queens react.
@@stuffnsuch631 Just like we will probably never be immune to fire it is extremely unlikely that Varroa Mite will ever build an immunity to Formic Acid. That being said, it is important no matter what treatments you use that you test and monitor your hives to insure that their Varroa Mite levels stay low.
