How would this pesticide work in the soil around the hives in the soil, would be more safer I have been looking to treat the soil, around my hives, I been thinking of using lime, lime burn leafs on plant in direct, was wondering if lime would burn shb in the soil

Happy that Dr. Bartlett continues to practice practical research that provides solutions. We need more like him in academia. Thank you for sharing Bob ☺️

Very exciting research, can't wait for the approval so we can add it to pollen patties. Would love to get rid of all hive beetles. Thank you for sharing.

I am interested in the continuing information. Please post new results from this past year.

Great info for shb treatment. I might also recommend that you remind folks about the toxicity of grubex to aquatic life and it's labeled warning to not treat anywhere a water source. I have a small pond near my hives 😅

The pic of the slime out at about 6 min 30 sec makes me appreciate the 2 in of in snow on the ground here this morning!

So how much H2O2 do you add to your sugar water and how long will the H2O2 last before it turns into water?

Thanks for always sharing research like this

[jeffahrens]

As Always, I appreciate all the information.

This was the most fun lecture I've ever seen (never thought I'd say that after Uni lol)

[AlBig]

Excellent video. Thanks for posting this Bob. I hope we can somehow get a handle on the SHB.

GREAT video. THANKS, Bob for sharing this with those of us who are too far away to attend! The research sounds extremely promising!

[jamesroberts]

Thanks for posting this Bob, very interesting. I do not as a rule like to have chemicals anywhere near my bees much less in the
hive, IF Dr. Bartlett can develop and test a good product for the beetle trap that might change my mind!

[DuckRiverHoney]

Very interesting Bob. I wonder how long it’ll be before beekeepers are cowboying recipes for beetle baits using the lawn treatment granules?

Bob, thanks for the information! I had been wondering where Dr Bartlett's research had progressed to after he mentioned it at GBA's spring conference.
