Pulling Honey Supers and Treating Mites

Показать описание

In this video I pull the last remaining honey supers off the hives and begin my 2023 mite treatments. I use ApiGuard (thymol based treatment) to knock down the varroa mites as I prepare the hives for the fall and winter.

I can feel the heat as I watch. It's in the 90s today here in PA so I can relate. Love watching your videos and I enjoy the fact that you're following your own instincts and logic in keeping your bees. This is one of those hobbies that has many ways to reach the same results. Live bees, good nutrition, and dead mites...carry on!

Hey Josh I have a similar busy life. I have tried double deeps and they seem to be too much in a lot of ways, so I also went to single deep. It was hard to keep swarming at bay and stores for winter. I now use a medium under my deep. It has solved many of my troubles. Less swarming, more organized brood chamber, usually don't need a queen excluder, I usually only inspect the deep which is at a nicer working height, also less feeding in the fall. I like your videos and management style keep it up.

You covered this really well. We just finished our treatments and had good results.

Never seen that treatment, thanks for sharing.

Same active ingredient as Listerine. Pretty cool. Nice vid.

OA can be used with honey supers on, it has been proven in Purdue labs to not penetrate the honey in any way. This test was done years ago.

Once you take the honey super off, how do you get the bees out of there? How and where do you store the honey super while the ApiGuard is in the hive? And are there strips you can use as well as the syringe option? Obviously I'm new to this and appreciate your help.

Hot in Arkansas here too this is our first year started in May can we harvest in late fall or spring

Just wondering, how many colonies do you plan to overwinter?

joeelam

People will be beating your door down in April for your overwintered NUCs and then not want any grafted queens in the spring after the honey flow starts, its been my experience. The same people will reject your NUC and want to buy a replacement queen from a failed package with a poorly mated queen. Just pointing this out if you plan to sell any bees.
