Glad to hear you are having great luck with the Apivar. We really like it also. It works most times and works well. There have been some reports of it not working, but we can’t speak first hand on that. Maybe not as effective for us as in the past but it has always dropped the mites.
First time seeing your video. I'm planning to treat my hives tomorrow. And I was nervous about the temperature. We have temps in the mid to upper 80's but I really need to treat. Thanks for sharing
Sorry for the delayed response I have been out of the Country. We use apiguard in the low 90's at a lower dose. We use 4 treatments of 25ml one per week for 4 weeks.
Hey Craig…we used apiguard for the first time 2 days ago after watching your videos…we used apivar and still had too high mite counts so we are using apiguard and OA…my question is we are seeing on the sticky boards that they are uncapping brood and pulling out the brood…just wondered if that’s normal also? I heard you say it’s normal for the queen to stop laying but didn’t hear anything about it affecting the brood. Thanks again for your help!!
@@thesidelinebeekeeper-craig6924 we are in North Florida temps have been high 30s in the morning to mid 70s in the afternoon and we did the 33ml (or whatever those letters are🤣) and are gonna do it 2 more times. We have I think 25 hives or so now…and almost everyone of them were uncapping brood! I will message you in FB if you don’t mind and send you a few pics of the sticky boards.
Keep up the good work, YOUR bees are looking GREAT. Don't let people bug ya, "to each their own" opinions are kind of like asses everyone has one. Blessed Days...
