Beekeeping | How To Control Varroa Mites With Apiguard 

I was a bit nervous about doing the Apiguard treatment but after watching the video I am much more confident in my ability to do it.

Thank you David. I needed to make sure I do this right. It's my first mite treatment. I appreciate you. It's so great that you've recorded this information to be referenced any time someone needs it. What a great legacy you are providing for future beekeepers!

Thanks David,I use apiguard regularly here in Ireland. I alternate it with a different treatment which I find most effective. If I'm concerned about bees building comb I add one frame of foundation and if they are going to build they start on that, then I take action. If they don't build on it nothing lost nothing gained.

DAVID - 12 year beekeeper (Long Island, NY) you are doing amazing! I send all my students to your channel to watch as necessary homework for each student.. Your factual - matter of fact take on beekeeper is wonderful - keep up the great work!

Thank you, I’m a new beekeeper and I know my local group brings up your name from time to time. Please continue to do videos, it is very helpful. We need more beekeepers and we need to stick together.

Always appreciate your videos. Wanted a refresher for Apigard. Thank you!!!

thanks for this helpful video. I can read all about treatments, but watching is so much more helpful.

I bought your basic bee learning online class last year. Last night I bought your advanced on line classes. You have made this subject easy to understand.....and motivation to get started! LOve your style. O.......and I bought our hive boxes and packages for March 2022. Thanks again for your most excellent tutoring.

I am a new beekeeper this year, David, and I couldn't have started this without your videos! I trust your advice completely and you are just a fantastic teacher! Thank you!

Good thinking ! 😉 Just did my Apiguard Varroa Mite Treatment today here in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Will do the 2nd required Tray of Apiguard, in two weeks time. Needs to be above 16C / 64F to work correctly. Come mid Sept... Scot gets closer to being nippy! (aka Cold,) As a Nation, didn't invent Whiskey for nothing. 🤣 Apiguard is a really nice product. Alas, EU, and UK only sell those little Foil Trays amounts (A Vet Meds Licensing Remit.) However, I think in USA and CA, I've seen Beeks have super Big Green Tubs of the stuff. 🤭 Think Kamon Reynolds was using the Tub in his YT Video. 😏 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 Happy Beekeeping 2022 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

I really can’t tell you enough how much of a difference you have made to my beekeeping escapades! Thanks, David, for sharing your kind and informed ways!

Thank you. David for the videos you do and the hard work you put into it. It is much appreciated

Thank you Mr.David

Thank you so much for making this video! Getting ready to treat my bees today! Very helpful!

David, great job! Spot on delivery, great content... love your personality and advice is very very helpful! Much appreciated. /Paul

illustrating your skills highlights your thirst for knowledge, you're amazing, brother!

Thank you for making these videos. I’m new to beekeeping and your videos give me the knowledge and courage to care for my bees. Please continue making them.

David: Finding your channel was an excellent find. Your teaching has enabled me to try splits, catch a Queen, catch a wild swarm and check and treat for mites. Between you my head is full of Bee facts put into action. Thanks.

David…I’m a new beekeeper this last spring. You have been a huge help to me, along with other info I gather. I love your videos!! Keep them coming! MK Frizzell

Thank you Mr. Burns. This will be my first year trying Apiguard.

I so appreciate you!! I have been waiting for the Apiguard video, and you didn't disappoint!! You're my favorite RU-vidr. Thank you for all your time and dedication to us little keepers.

Great video, thanks for the great info David. I never used Apiguard before.

You are my favorite bee man.

I loved this video!! I am so faithful watching your Bee University daily, love it!!❤

I will be getting my first bees come spring and I am trying to learn all I can so I can take care of them, I really appreciate your videos they are very informative please keep them coming.

Always looking forward to your next video! 👍

Thank you for all the great info. I really appreciate the knowledge you pass on to us newbees.

Thank you so much! I was just about to add my super, tested for mites and AACK! I need to treat! Thank you again.

You’re on a roll! Thanks for the hard work. I really appreciate all you do for the beekeeping community. I’ve got your book and your ultimate class bundle because I love your teaching style. These mite control techniques are so important, and I appreciate you walking us through exactly how to utilize them.

Thanks for your time it really helps

This is actually a good reminder for me to do a treatment ASAP before heading into winter!

Thank you so much! This was super helpful I'm a new beekeeper and I appreciate all your valuable lessons!

Thank you David for all your hard work teaching beekeeping. many blessings to you and yours.

You are a wealth of priceless knowledge.

This is another great video, Dave! Thanks for the thorough demonstration of the removal of the honey super AND the application of the ApiGuard. Woohoo! I'm inspired! 🐝🐝🐝

Very helpful-thank you! I'm a new beekeeper from York, England. This is my first season and I'm about to apply Apiguard.

Thanks for the instruction. I bought Apiguard and I appreciate your directions on its use.

Thank you for all of the valuable information. It’s one thing to read about bees but makes a lot more sense seeing you in action!! Thank you!!!!

I don’t follow one beekeeper in particular. However, I have incorporated more of your suggestions than any other.

Thanks for the video. I am going to use Apiguard this week now that I have harvested my honey. Too hot for Formic.

Thank you for this video! It was so helpful to watch before using Apiguard on my hive for the first time.

Thanks David, everyone has different bee needs but you keep touching on many of mine. Thanks

Another great and informative video. I’m getting a lot from this series. 100K here you come.

Thank you for all your work. It really helps me... First year beekeeper

These videos have been fantastic. I wish there was a one size fits all mite treatment, but there really are different scenarios. For me, the only time I could use Apiguard is when the clover fizzles out mid-July and I take my summer honey off, until when knotweed starts blooming right about now. I can't use Formic Pro in August because it's too hot. So my approach is to do mite counts when I pull honey off in July. If I have mites in my wash, I do an Oxalic dribble to knock off the phoretic mites, then follow up with Formic Pro in September when the temps are cooler. I could also just use Apiguard in that mid July to end of August timeframe, skip Formic Pro, which seems to be hard on queens, and then do OAV once brood rearing pretty much stops in late October. So many variables, so I think it's worth it to learn about all of these methods and use the data available to make treatment decisions. Thanks for the overview of all these options.

I’m so glad you are doing this series, as a new bee keeper I am just having info overload on mite treatments and what to do. This really helps me

Hey, we like the cut of your jib! Quality queens, 21 days laying for vitality, tracking and vetting stock!

Thanks for your video on Apiguard! I've used it in the past, but picked up a few tips on how to use it better.

Thankyou so much for these videos! Between this and the classes, you've helped me to be a better bee keeper.

Dave I really enjoy what what your doing for us ,thanks for all the experiments your doing for u

Hello from Ukraine! I like your vlogs, and apply some of the tips on my apiary

Thanks David!! Great work as always. I met you a few years ago in your shop when it was open and your demeanor is exactly same in person as it is on your videos. Its a very good demeanor and your unassuming nature makes you a phenomenal instructor. I appreciate all your hard work in these videos. Even experienced beekeepers can gain a tremendous amount of knowledge, and yes confidence in working bees from your effort! Please keep them coming! Oh and I need to put in an order of winter bee kind boards this year.... going to give those a try this winter and see how they do!

Thank you David for all your hard work and sharing your vast amount of knowledge and experience.

I appreciate your direct and caring. Was just thinking of using Apiguard. I think I will give it ago.

Thank you for the wonderful videos! I’m learning so much and you have answered so many of my questions. I’m a first year beekeeper in south Arkansas.

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS David. Very informative. I tell people to watch you, Bob Binnie and Kaymon Reynolds if they want to learn. I'd like to see a "Worth it or worthless" on Quilt Boxes. Thanks and KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. IT'S APPRECIATED A BUNCH!!

You do great work!! Keep on keepin on!!

I watch your show every week. I’m in east Texas, I keep a deep on with 4 or 5 grams, I use the extra space to place sugar water bananas and I have no problem yet with wanting to build comb. In one hive their actually starting build some there. But you’ll bee ok I think
