Houston Beekeepers Association meeting recorded on July 21, 2020.
The Houston Beekeepers Association is proud to present Randy Oliver!
VARROA MANAGEMENT: Success in beekeeping these days is largely dependent upon the management of varroa. Until mite-resistant stock becomes widely available, the beekeeper will need to understand varroa and virus population dynamics, and intervene to suppress mite buildup. Randy will show how varroa populations develop and various methods for suppressing the mite.
****
Randy has kept bees for most of his life, and views beekeeping through the eyes of a biologist, researcher, and nature lover. He makes his living as a commercial beekeeper, and maintains the website ScientificBeekeeping.com. Randy is a popular writer in the bee journals and an invited speaker worldwide, sharing his knowledge of bee biology, colony health issues, and practical beekeeping management.

The Houston Beekeepers Association has virtual meetings open to the public on the third Tuesday of every month (except for December). Find details for our next meeting on our

Thermal mite treatment seems to work the very best!

@danhardin7243 3 года назад

It kills all the mites in the hive!

Have you considered adding the dawn to the 91% alcohol creating a solution of high testing qualities?

In other words, one is no longer managing bees, first and foremost, but one has to learn the management of the mites and then manage bees as a sort of an after thought?? What are the methods wherefrom one would help the bees develop their own management of their own mite load...or is there such a thing?

@honeyspoonbeewrangler4550 3 года назад

I think people are managing a balance.

@suzanneguiho4882 3 года назад

@@honeyspoonbeewrangler4550 well, if my livelihood depended on it, I would probably say the same. But then I wouldn’t be objective....! That falls in the category of wanting my cake and eat too...never works...always create more problems that need to be fixed afterwords...and...we direct ourselves further and further from the nature of the bees...then maintain them alive artificially...I think we are pretty much there now...No...??? Observation...we have weaker and weaker bees...and weaker and weaker queens...It’s like walking on a track and not hearing the train that is coming up ahead...! What we are not ready to sacrifice today...life will take care of yet sooner or later...we put ourselves on a time bomb where beekeeping is concerned...! Just an observation from an outsider faced with a choice..??
