I personally Believe they are 100% better then the synthetic or many of the hard treatments. They look to be a great product if you have a few hives. But honestly from what I have seen for me they cost to much and you have to use to many of them. Thanks for sharing your time with us, Blessed Days...
I used the apiguard on a 2 deep hive. My queen stopped laying and I had no brood. It's been 2 weeks and finally I am getting uncapped brood. I didn't treat this week because of high temps. Should I treat half dose next week when temps are cooler and then half 7 days layer so hopefully queen doesn't stop laying? I'm afraid my hive is going to be weak before winter.
Hey @Jenjen2044! Apiguard can definitely cause a queen to stop laying for a bit especially if temps are high and you use a full dose. A brood break this time of year is actually good to help reduce your mite numbers anyway. However now that the brood break is over you need to choose a treatment method that is not as temperature dependent as Apiguard. You can use the following tool to help you decide on that: honeybeehealthcoalition.org/varroatool/ I personally would choose Oxalic Acid Vapor if you have access to a vaporizer. If you don't, get with your local bee club and they may have the supplies to help you get started with that. If that isn't an option you can always go with the very effective Oxalic Acid Dribble. You can find out more on that by checking our Randy Oliver's page at: scientificbeekeeping.com/oxalic-acid-treatment-table/ You could also try out these new strips that this video is about. If you have any other questions or would like to speak more in depth you can always email me at BackBeeBrokenBeekeeping@gmail.com
@BackBeeBrokenBeekeeping Thank you! I do have the vapor. How many times should I use the vapor? I have seen people doing it every week, every other week....and how long do I do this? Sorry for all of the questions, I'm first year beekeeper.
You are correct for the most part, with a few distinctions. This is the only Extended Release Oxalic Acid treatment that has passed the US's EPA approval process for use in beehives. Also from what I understand the percentage of OA is different in this treatment method and actually has a patented slow release substance. The Randy Oliver's version, is an off label use that technically isn't legal for others that don't have the experimental permitting that he does. I have no idea how it compares to products in New Zealand.

Now that there is Epa approval I hope to see some competition to bring the prices down

@@jenjen2044 there are different opinions but most agree on something similar to 4 treatments 5 days apart
Dave spoke at our local bee club meeting last month. I'm very excited to get this.
I am glad to see extended release oa being Epa approved
Ok for use in high temps?
Yes, in the video he does advise that if it is super humid it can cause a faster release and to be aware of that.
Foreigners doing this decade now.Oa makes small clusters ..ill stick with bees that use their own devices but this could help some people.
Can you give me more information on how OA makes small clusters?
This sounds like a commercial version of what Randy Oliver was doing. Also New Zealand bee keeper's have been making these for years.

As long as it’s not formic acid or apivar.
I’ll try it.
@@beebob1279 it isn't either of those.
Would love to be able to try these in california
The spokesperson expected approval in CA to be coming in a week or so. Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy some of my other videos!
Link to instructions? You said "per frames of bees". Bees on frames or brood.
" VarroxSan is recommended for every 2.5 brood frames covered with bees."

10 years to late. old news.
Not about this product. This is brand new in the US as of the date this video was filmed
