Thanks for keeping it simple

Not far from Lula! Are you still teaching

So you use straight mineral oil which we call parrafin oil in Australia. Do you do other treatments for Varroa using other products.

How many oil and oxalic acid?

'Just found this video, you are absolutely correct. Let mother nature thru the bees, make the best selection of cells to develop queens.

Alk of that chemistry with you're bare hand! Disaster

do you do a mite tes before and after

Where do you buy your boric acid

Sir, i am a bee keeper from far east Nepal. here in Nepal very hard to get mineral oil to fog bees against mite, is there any alternative way instead of mineral oil? Thank you .

How you mix it up

Is it just mineral oil or is there some wintergreen in the mix. Thanks in advance!

Can this be done in the summer months?

Tried in 40 hives in South Florida. Didn’t work. I tried.

How often and when to treat using this method?

Hi I was wondering if you have ever tried neem oil I know it kills spider mites and head lice so I was thinking it would work on them I am going to try it on a swam I Catch in the spring hopefully it won’t kill the bees what are your thoughts on that

I believe mineral oil fogging has been discredited as a mite treatment.

Thanks. Sir

Hello Fat Bee Man. I'm heard something about Black Walnut Smoke with varroa treatment. Will that actually work? Have you used this as a treatment? Great video.

Fatbeeman evidently does not answer his KZbin questions

Do you use banana mix with pollen too make pollen pollen

Which Burgess model is best?

This "treatment" does nothing to control mites.

I did a google search "will boric acid kill bees" and found this statement: Boric acid or borax powder is an effective way of getting rid of bees the natural way. ... Borax works as effectively on bees as it does on ants. Bees get the dust on themselves and bring it to their nest, so the whole population will get affected and eventually die......

Do you use straight mineral oil or do you diluted and will it hurt the honey

Was Mr. Kuchenmeister ever the subject of a feature length documentary, or perhaps PART of such a documentary? I have a friend who keeps bees and he tells me that everything he's learned about the craft he learned from Herr Kuchenmeister. It must be so since the gentleman is all over KZbin with his classes. I believe it was Albert Einstein who said "If the bees die, we die." Probably not an exact quote, but true nonetheless, I think.

A SMALL TRAP FOR A BIG PROBLEM DON;T CUT IT.

The material he's using is called chloroplasts it's available at sign shops if you want to purchase it

Don the heat melt the Crisco oil and mix with the poison > RUNS all over the bottoms

I assume lard works as well as Crisco

Thanks !

question re: oxalas vapour application - after the initial how many times and how frequent - thank you - we've used this fogger that you are demonstrating - great ....

I've seen the individual cd case where the tabs are broken off to permit entry. That size seems much more reasonable to crawl into than the cells of the Coroplast.

no questions are being answered .

Don't bees access the Crisco? If they get through it can't the bees access the boric acid?

lots of questions but no answers and he keeps talking queen less hives but give no explanation where he got them

I’m looking for a good fogger, some I have read about don’t handle mineral oil well. What fogger do you use with out many issues using mineral oil?

Thanks for teaching us sir' it helps a lot...

My bees just proplized over the crisco

very informative, thank you.

How many of these treatments do you do? I've heard some recommend doing three treatments a week apart.

Can you fog your hives that still have the supers? Thanks..

Timeless Information.. done 3 Queen-less colonies Dons way and all three where a success... No beekeeping bullshit or messing about just good old honest as it is Bee Keeping.. Thanks Don

Mineral oil is a distillation product of petroleum. Petroleum is a carcinogen to human.

now that is information! Thanks Don!

Don,you are the bee man.we love you.thank you.

Where do I put this if I have a screened Bottom board. Same place?

Don, why don't you use the fogger for the Oxalic Acid? Wouldn't be quicker than that custom made vaporiser? PLEASE ANSWER!

thank you very informative website

Great camera work...

I'm seeing a lot of people are using foggers but using oxalic acid dissolved in grain alcohol. A fire hazard issue is there, but have you looked into this? Your thoughts? It's looking easier than the vaporizer or the dribble technique. Thanks for any input.
