Nice job. Words of wisdom. Dawn Ultra is what I use. Both alcohol and dish soap have been found to have similar results if my understanding is right though some will argue that one is better than the other. Keep up the good work my friend from down here in Southeast Alabama.

I prefer alcohol.. it’s thinner and the mites settle better than soap .. plus it’s clear and makes it easier to see than dark blue
@barkersbees 4 сағат бұрын
Yeah everyone definitely has their preferences! Alcohol works great too! Have you watched the Greg burns video alcohol vs dawn? It’s a good one.

@@NevadaBeeMan-nq3po fair enough. I know quite a few who use the soap. Just not a lot of KZbin videos behind it. I’ve used both and they have been very similar to each other with the results but I agree I don’t base it off of one thing either. I just like to try new things and I haven’t had bad experiences with the soap or alcohol.

Sometimes maybe 1/2 the time with laying workers the queen starts laying at the same time as the workers. You gotta look closely. No need to walk away with them shake right in front of the queen right colonies or use newspaper to combine them. If it’s a drone laying queen you always want to kill her. I believe people have a difficult time fixing this issue because they don’t actually know what is happening. When the queen is laying beside the workers it takes a couple weeks for it to straighten itself out anyway, they are setback. I think it’s funny how people make such a big deal of this or have crazy ideas about it.
