Harris this is interesting. You might be onto something. When we apply Apiguard the dosage cards go on the top and the fumes drop down. But the bees are handling it... Trying to a couple of mite washes ahead of time before the towels. Oh and our dosages are 7 to 10 days apart. Keep us updated!

@@harrisjoubertwithsleepycre1924 It is absolutely fascinating how some hives treat the thymol. Some ignore it,, some drag it out by pieces. Others will even build a propolis column wall around it!

Well, here's irony for you. Our main honey crop is thyme 😂 it's the only area in New Zealand where thyme is the dominant plant because not a lot else can grow here, without irrigation. Most of NZ doesn't have a water problem, just our little pocket of it. hot Mediterranean climate in central Otago. Very cold ( for NZ anyway, about minus ten Celsius mid winter) winters, hot dry summers. Thyme honey is a dog for crystalizing, It's got flavor alright 😅 although I wouldn't think medicine flavored but it's strong. interestingly I've never noticed chalkbrood. I don't know if the natural thymol the bee's bring in has any effect on mite counts but I hope so😂

@harrisjoubertwithsleepycre1924 18 күн бұрын

I planet thyme in the rocky ground here in the Mediterranean and it grows great. Bananas and pineapple too. This was impossible 15 years ago. Since l have a distillery too I make alot of different oils. Lavender, rosemary, some plants l don't know the English name and tymol. Some oils are very expensive because you need a full moonshine barrel to make a little bit of oil

@@harrisjoubertwithsleepycre1924 actually, I'm not sure. Ive been asked about setting up a apairy in a different district this year about a hour and a half drive away towards the east coast, which I've said yes too, so I'll be able to compare that coastal orchard apairy with my central Otago ones, and there's no thyme in that area, it's all coastal bush, bit of manuka and kanuka and farm clover. It'll be interesting to see if there's a difference, I think I might get a little chalkbrood because it's a cool damp climate there for most of the year except mid summer, coastal Otago is completely different to central Otago 👍😃

Enjoy the fishing 🎣 i have a suggestion about the smoker fire risk issue, Apisolis vapour smoker. Beekeeping with Natalee and castle hives both recently reviewed it on thier channels if you want to check it out, its basically a bee smoke vape 😂 but it runs cool and produces great smoke. I intend to use one during our fire season which in central Otago is really bad.apparently a tank of the smoke liquid you put in it lasts for a month of Sundays, so you're not constantly refilling and having sparks where you don't want them. Im not sure how long the battery lasts, but its quite a while, you just gotta remember to plug the thing in to recharge it. Bit of a nuisance but much less of a nuisance than accidentally starting a fire. Have a great break away👍👋
