Very good video, you sure nailed this one. I did the Randy Oliver method of shacking a brood frame in to a dish pan (plastic container) scooped them into the shaker and did the alcohol wash. Thank you for your dedication to your videos ! You have been instrumental in helping me build up my sideline project of beekeeping. The more I work with the bees the more I love it ! There is just something about this business. I find myself driving around looking at the vegetation and noticing thing that I would never have given a second look. Not all roses, but still making great progress, I had a bee invasion of my honey house and it took me a few days to figger out what was going on. There was a small leak or enter point into the building. Where the wall plate meets the concrete floor there was light entering the building or an access point for hunger bees. I finally seen the bees gathering around the access point. Got the chalking gun out and a few days later all was well. These little bugs are very persistent when they get on the scent of honey LOL !

What is the water in the box where you put the bees and what do you process, I would appreciate if you tell me what is the purpose

Is American Foulbrood as devastating a disease that our beekeeping laws seem to portray. I have heard, and you confirmed, that a certain level of Foulbrood spores exists everywhere. I had a colony succumb to the disease two years ago. It so happened that it was a colony that was hit hard by skunks. I'm thinking that the colony lost so much of its resources that it couldn't do a good job of housecleaning. It's as if the colony became queenless. My thinking is a good, strong, hygienic colony will overcome most any level of spore exposure, but I'd like the opinion of someone who really knows something about bees! Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

And not to inflate your ego too much, I've found your blog to be the most valuable beekeeping blog on the net. You are truly appreciated. God Bless.

Here in new Brunswick we don't only have varoa mites. We are also gifted with the Irving mites spraying all the forest they cut down. Is there a test and treatment for them. Save the bees and our wild life
