So how do you use it? How many days on, number of treatments? Temp? That's the information I was looking for. I know how to open a plastic pouch.

Don't wait 2 minutes, use a container with water and move to hit after 20-30 seconds. You're gonna have much better production throughput, saving energy for warming the beeswax

I tried it once. Not sure of its efficacy, but waiting 3-4 weeks to put the supers back on and then having to worry about harvesting a month after adding the supers just seems like a huge hassle as opposed to proven formic or oxalic treatments.
@DrDTPeck-BetterbeeАй бұрын
Absolutely agree! For plenty of hives at plenty of times of year, this is far from the most convenient miticide option. But for those that want to rotate treatment compounds, and those of us with seasonal weather that allows us to harvest our honey and then do a month or so of thymol-based treatments, it's always good to have more weapons in the mite-control arsenal.

pretty sure I have bees in my bedroom walls. they came in thru an outlet with no cover or appliance on it. the outlet is over 2 stories in the air. would you think a thermal imaging camera might work to tell me (from the inside) where they are and the extent to which they've made it home? I doubt I can afford to hire someone. what does it typically cost (ballpark). I'm 70 - hubby is 74. he thinks we should just kill them. he doesn't really want to, so your argument against that was helpful. I used to have bees but they swarmed. I still have all the equipment.
@betterbee1979Ай бұрын
Hi there! An infrared camera will certainly show the heat map of where the bees are inside your wall. Also, many beekeepers do wall cutouts "for free," but will leave your home in need of repair (e.g. if they cut a huge hole out of your drywall to get the bees out, you'll have to replace that out of your own pocket). You can use our swarm catcher list to find someone nearby to contact about it: www.betterbee.com/swarm-catchers/
@ssergeant9682Ай бұрын
@@betterbee1979 none in our area. so looks like it's up to me. I'd have to repair the damage anyway, so that part didn't bother me. but I'd like to keep the bees, and most swarm catchers do it for the bees.

Unfortunately, our beekeeping team is so on top of things that they pinch any queens showing nastier genetics than this! This was the meanest of what was available to us for this quick test. I've worked plenty of Africanized hives before, and I guarantee I would have gotten more stings from them. But for a hive with a tolerable temperament, I was surprised at how much protection this jacket offered. (You'll notice that I get less tense as the video continues. I wasn't sure how many stings I was signing up for at the start of the filming!)

Its better to dip your mold in water with a few drops of dish soap in it before applying the wax, I have found a ladel is the best tool, I just half fill my ladel and pour a little wax so it runs to 1/5th of the length and then slowly lay the top down, this will push the wax along the mold and with very little overspill, because you have wet the mold with soapy water this acts as a release agent and the sheet will be able to be removed with zero tearout.If it does tear out you are applying too much wax. Another good technique to remove the wax is to lift the silicone edge and roll it underneath itself and then holding both sides push it forward so the roll extends, the wax will release as you push the mold forward.

Hi Carl! We sell creamed honey that you can use as a starter: www.betterbee.com/creamed-honey/ch1-16-oz-creamed-honey.asp Or you can grind up your own crystallized honey with a mortar and pestle until the consistency is smooth, and use that as your starter. Good luck!
