It might. I don’t know the last history of these colonies. There is an argument saying that by this delivery method Amitraz reach other parts of the body. It makes sense but need to be confirmed.

Interesting device . I wonder if it would administer an OA or thymol treatment the same way?

They told me they are working on all kind of options. Let’s wait and see.

An amitraz with a change up or thymol might be an interesting idea

Tell them that. market pressure is the driving force of innovation.

Price must be good for both parties. I am curious to see what the market will say about price.

We need to understand the strategy they are using. If they cannot convince investors that there is sufficient demand, the project won't progress in the long run. This is why their initial focus is on larger beekeepers and amitraz. However, it's clear they plan to expand into other areas as the project advances. I'll personally be testing the other compounds as well. Like many, I prefer natural solutions and am excited to see the results. They also have data on formic acid and other treatments, which will be interesting to review. Stay tuned-more videos on this topic are coming in the future. Thank you for stopping by!

Amitraz is a horrible chemical....

@ I agree with that 100%

I try my best to keep the science honest. Thanks for the kind word. I appreciate it.

I believe one of the representatives will be there with the device.

@@InsideTheHiveTV That will be great. SML BEEs/SWVA

I will look for them.

I don't see a problem for them to do that. Talk to them. If there enogh pressure I believe they can do it very easily.

I am not sure they are targeting canada write now. Talk to them. if they see strong market in canada I am sure they will push to that direction.

@ ok I will but I’m just a small bee keeper what are the chances I could send you cash and you ship me one I’ll pay you for your time lol🐝🐝

From the information I have found. You can't they only sell to Commercial Sized Contracts, another reason I do not care for the Company and I'm not overly interested in buying their product personally.

@@dcsblessedbees ok I did not know that thanks for that info well I guess that sucks and it’s pretty piss poor set I have no issue controlling mites now but would have been cool to try it

Me too. I can even see a small hive beetle trap inside the frame now. :)

Yes I agree, im only interested in using Organic Acids

@@bradgoliphant or no chemicals such as raising the hive temperature to a point where the mites die but the larvae don't

@@jaibusby673 Im very aware of heat therapy for killing mites, and thought about it for a long while, yet in my brood boxes, I have gotten aways from both plastic foundation and wire reinforcements, so the wax and hive could easily collapse. Plus, I was not able to find any science on how or if this raising of the temp to such a degree is or was actually hurting the larva, the queen or the hive itself. So it's not a choice for me. Grateful.

It sounds good especially using 90% less chemicals, however does it cost 900% dollar more? The frame device is great, maybe a device a a hive mat also. I assume you can't use with honey supers on.

@@jaibusby673 Price must be fair and deliver return of investiment. Only proper testing will allow the market to define the fair price.

There is also terraverra I'm looking forward to seeing what they do BC they have a similar type of device so I'm super excited about that technology and what it's possibilities are.

@@jasonseaward8506 glad to hear that because tobe being a monopoly of patent of this device would be bad, and not just saying this because it comes from israel, a monopoly is never best for the population bees especially.

Wondering the same.

I am positive most of the things affecting honey bees are not in the equation yet and my biggest fear is the absolute certanty of some "experts" about how to handle the problem.

Thesis: If a queen bee mates with 16 drone bees, she will produce 16 queen cells.

Scientific literature suggests that honey bees can detect what are called "royal genes." While this is not a well-established fact, some scientists believe honey bees can select the best larvae based on these genetic markers. They argue that artificial selection by queen breeders could dilute these royal genes, potentially leading to lower-quality queens over time. I hope this helps. Maybe I should make some videos about that. Would you enjoy them?

@@InsideTheHiveTV Yes, that would be great and thanks for the answer. There are also many unknowns about what queen bee breeders have obtained by mixing breeds, types and phenotypes. In my area, extreme mixing of breeds has not yet occurred, cold winters maintain control over the development of some breeds. My observations in the hives and the big question mark above my head could open another topic. For example, what if we have a queen in the hive with Italian genes, and at one point bees with genes from Carnica drones predominate in the hive or vice versa. What is the correlation between bees and queens with different innate behaviors. Is this the cause of angry colonies, large colony losses, lack of honey harvesting, etc. Thank you and I hope to start a topic with competent interlocutors. I think that by asking the right questions to scientists and leading beekeepers, we can find answers to many problems in beekeeping. I support your activities and efforts for the betterment of bees. Best regards from Bosnia.

I'm sorry for being so detailed in my presentation. This is just an example of my observations to explain the reason for the question..What's happening! I monitor and record the queens in my hives so that I can choose the progenitor for future queen production. I prefer our gray bee Apis mellifera carnica. During the two years of observation, the queen has a characteristic behavior for a carnica, there are gray bees on the frames, the drones are also gray, the pollen storage on the frames is specific to a gray bee, it brings a lot of honey and winters with little food. In the third year I'm getting ready to take the larvae for queen production and something unexpected happens. I see 30 percent of yellow Italian bees on the frames, by the end of the year there are more than 50 percent. The hive loses performance. In the fourth year, the hive is a disaster, a pale picture of a powerful colony remains.The queen was marked with a number and there was no queen replacement

Can we predict human behavior? I wouldn’t be surprised if some would.

hard to make money with LAB. But wishcraftwitchcraft stories always work best in situations of need. What happened to Paul Stamets beemushroomed feeder and why did you delete my post in the video prior to this one ?

Yes there is. I am working on it.

That would be fun

it is unlikely.

@ well that’s good news the only real killer for us is varroa and pesticides we dont have small hive Beatles some wax moth but for the most part bees thrive in my area

I've always wondered if LAB could help the bees. I use LAB in gardening so it made me curious lol.
