57:51 you get the sweetest smile on your face when you talk to or about Laurel. LOVE it!

Hello from NJ!!! 3rd year bee keeper here and I never thought I’d love this as much as I do.

[juliavela]

Kamon, we really enjoyed having you at our Convention, it was a great mix of keepers & vendors! Stinking hot is one way to put it! And I’m definitely going to try out the gloves. I told Allen that he should bring you as a sales rep next year! Not sure if you are needing more to do 🙃!
Let us know when you get the Bee Expo Gear up for sale!

I use a sous vide cooker to de crystallize honey. It both circulates the water and maintains whatever temperature you set.

loved having you at the LA beekeeper meeting!! Thanks for answering a few of my questions-about feeding/propola boxes, etc.

Ha Kamon good chat I am looking forward to the new products u talked about for mite treatments and the hive Bettles as well. hope u and loral have a blessed week

[maureenjais-mick]

Check out the two VarroxSan videos from Auburn University - especially the second one, an interview with the manufacturer. The product is NOT a "put on the hive and walk away" treatment.

Kamon, have you heard about Hives for Heroes? Great program for military and first responders. Be great if they were at your expo.

New beekeeper here. Acquired 2 hives from a deceased family member. Talked to some people and was told they probably should be split. So I split them and then a massive beetle larva infestation took over and 3 of the 4 hives/splits left. Is this common?

Please test those tablets with some mesh bottom boards. If they are the same l tested they drop a lot of mites after a couple of hours. It makes you wonder what kind of poison is in it ?
Last year some people here tested a similar PIP Tablet and they had full bottom boards of mites that same day (there are videos...). But nobody wants to write all the ingredients in it

[LaFontaineHoneyBees]

Anybody heard anything about what’s going?

[TheSkogarmoar]

When and where is the expo again? I found one that's in Louisville but that's in January 2025.
