Thank you both, great discussion. I have been using Cory’s stock for the last 3 years and have seen tremendous results in lack of winter losses due to lower mite loads. I participate in the National Honeybee Survey with my state inspector every other year and the numbers from lab results are getting better each time. DWV is non existent, nosema, AFB, EFB, Chalk Brood, not any issues either. Thank you Cory for all your hard work with the breeding. I only lost 1 colony out of 14 this winter.
Hi guys I am in Michigan have had bees for 30 years, I have made queens for myself along the way, but I want to focus on breeding and queen production and try to expand my operation. Great video ,Cory you are extremely wise , awesome work !
Thank you for this.. one of the best conversations I have seen in a while. Such an interesting topic. Get this man a research grant. We need him working on this full time !!
Great talk! I crossed what I call my Hypro queens with AI Caucasian they are doing awesome. This year when I start doing mite washes and test. My What I call HyPro queens are a Italian Carnies
Guess you recovered from HL Kamon, sounds like everyone had a great time. .... Thanks for all the hard work you guys are doing for the beekeeping world. Especially helpful for beginners like myself....Keep up the good work!
At the beginning of winter I was Justin one and zeros I'll looked through the brood 3 days ago and the drone brood and seen no mites or in the working cell only seen one Queen cell not it down
What I like about VSH is one can evaluate VSH via assays. Host resistance is the key and assays ALWAYS need to be done to verify their quality. Been using Cory’s queens for a couple of years and wish I would have tried years earlier. Beekeepers need to support and GLADLY pay fair and higher prices for quality genetics. I have Cory’s queens from 2021 that are still going strong that have never been treated. Once beekeepers have colonies that thrive without treatments, they can see their strengths and have faith in what good natural selection can do.
I am wondering how long does it typicaly take to learn to artificially inseminate bees and what does the equipment price cost in money? I am in Australia we have a huge population of ferals, i have no access to an island and its sometimes impossible to buy a commercial breeder as i am not in the breeders area or network . Last year I got some well bred bees, those hives consistently out-perfomed, on average double ,my other hives who have aggressive feral bee genetics.
Joe May of little bite honey company has been also doing some of this type crossing of vhs or smh and diversity for years from several lines . See you in a few hours Kamon in Scottsville ky .
Hi Cory 👋 👋 👋 👋 👋 here is something to consider I'm wondering with technology have for Artificial inseminary I'm wondering if you have had the opportunity to work with the killer bees 🐝 anyway maybe you could have full control of the eggs 🥚 maybe you could get a com Queen bee and her off spring could be com as well I that in the 1950 in south America the experiment went badly. But technology has gotten really good and I don't know if knew this but I've killer Bees are Resistant to the mites. Anyway I hope this might be what your thinking or something like it.
Since we stopped keeping a control group in our operation our tests got much better and in my opinion more realistic. Why would l have a control group that keeps spreading mites around ? I already know what will happen with them in late summer. Your experience should be your "control" group. We already have enough varroa arriving with fall trailers around us. And the sudden growth in mite numbers shows very well what a control group does to our experiments

Great discussion. . Cory needs to be employed by beekeeper for beekeepers. A wealth of information. Great video!! 😎🐝🐝🐝💯🍯🙏
Thanks for the discussion.
Keep up the good work
Only caught the last 10 minutes live so I guess I'll start from the beginning now

I'm not sure if it's possible on youtube but I'd love to see a show with the 3 of you guys going back and forth.
Fascinating discussion great to see young people working towards better bees 🐝
Thank you for this.. one of the best conversations I have seen in a while. Such an interesting topic. Get this man a research grant. We need him working on this full time !!
Yessir we do
I love to keep bee 🐝 💕
Cory has been my mentor. Most of my hives are from his queens. Very good bees.
EDIbee has a great youtube presentation on varroa life cycle.
Great discussion, thank you.
grate chat !!
So good and so fun.

Awesome job guys.and funny too
Awesome content guys, keep up the great work!

Thank you Lamb Brook Farm!
This was a fun one. Thanks for putting it on.
We need more people doing this,maybe if more are the doing this, do you the mites might not have a chance!

Kamon, I love your videos. I never heard how your experiment with the tar paper on the migratory lids went. Good, bad, or ugly?
I've been trying to get in touch with Corey but he had good.lol
Good morning sir
Haw you hear for Apis mellifera carnica? You shud tray them.
Rhats what they call the Honey Dew list 😅😅😅😅😅
