Bees get mites? Wow, I would have never guessed. Nice to learn something new.
-
Few Americans are aware of that mite and what can happen. I'm glad you're treating your broods! Australia bee keepers were devastated by the authorized destruction of their hives..Pray that does not happen here! Good job treating your colonies!
-
those bees were harassing him at the start 😭
-
So good to see you again...been missing updates on farm and family. Interesting bee info even to a non-beekeeping viewer. ❤
-
Thank you so much for looking after bees. I live in a city in Australia and it is obvious that there are not as many bees around as there were when I was young. We need to work hard to give bee populations a chance to survive as they are crucial in our world. ♥️🐝

I am not a farmer I find all this fascinating.

Does anyone else watch "Just Alex"? He too has been learning about bee keeping, in particular...MITES! Ugh! Anyhow, he used these tacky sheets in the very bottom of the hive (bees can't get to it). Anyhow, it seemed like a rather quick and easy method to check for mites. I remember he counted the mites on the sticky paper, I just don't remember how he got rid of them!👍🙏🤟💞

Thank you for educating us. Learning something new.
-
Helpful advice: when doing your mite test I follow abunch of bee keepers they take a frame and just shake into a box and then you a 1 cup measuring cup and scoop them from a corner of the box

Hey Jake and Jr Bee keepers👋. I'm so glad you found Rob to teach you how to eradicate mites with the mites treatment🎉 Great job everyone👍. JO JO IN VT 💞

Hey guys, one comment is that you should be protecting your eyes as well. Oxalic acid vaporize can affect the eyes. Please do diligent research and plan to get some PPE when using oxalic acid. 😬

My brother is the President of Nelson County Ky. Bee Keepers Club so we love watching your bees.
-
I love watching your bee journey. you have come a long way.I love your videos, whenever you post, i get so excited.
-
If you start at the top and run the cup down the frame the bees will roll off into the cup. Much easier than trying to scoop them in.
-
I don't think I could ever have bees just because I'm so allergic to them. Getting more than 4-5 stings at once could probably kill me.
-
Great to see you back. You were missed!
-
I found this very interesting. I never knew there's so much in caring for bees. I knew about the moths they may get into the hive but never the mites. Thank you for sharing. Very educational. 😊
-
It's nice to see the process in treating the hives.
-
Few observations: 1. Just turn the device on and move away like few fts. Your really dont need to be there. Once it turns off move it to another hive, load, turn on and move away. 2. Remove the honey holding frames when treating. Clean them separately with less toxic options. 3. Talk to your local bee keepers group and sync the treatment. If all treat together, it would reduce the mite population much efficiently.

Apple cider vinegar. Soak the inside of the hive. It deters the mites from coming into the hive.
