[@kathyhathaway8823]

That was GREAT . Lynn has got it going on. Keep doing what you are doing. Thanks Bruce you are a great teacher. Thanks

[@brucesbees]

Yeah it’s fun. And she is doing a great job!

[@BuddyRHS1965]

Wow this is awesome, the amount of knowledge this guy has is incredible

[@brucesbees]

Yep he is sharp. Knows what is happening for sure!

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

Thanks Bruce!

[@brucesbees]

Thanks for watching!

I got to meet Jeff when he was partnered up with another Florida inspector and I met them when I was back home in Madison, FL. Great job with the mentee Bruce!! Those are great colonies and he's got her on the right track to keep them great. Harbo Assay counts mites at the purple eye stage......He's doing some great educating in this video...

[@brucesbees]

Yeah I hope people watch it. I didn’t know how to capture the just of the video in the title and thumbnail. But you’re right. Lots of tracing going on. He was all business and covers a lot of topics in a very short period of time. Lynn is doing a great job!

[@DonaldFarmHoney]

I am in the area just west of Jeff's area. Our inspector is a really nice guy. He only wore a veil on the last inspection. Short sleeves and no gloves and never got stung. A lot of good information. Great video Bruce.

[@kennith.]

Thank you for sharing.

[@donbearden1953]

Thanks Bruce, it was great to hear an inspector tell a Beekeeper that.

[@brucesbees]

Yes it was pretty cool. Jeff was all business but very complimentary and there is some great information here.

Bruce thanks for this I wanted to treat oav and the cycle for it was confusing but not know more. Hope u have a blessed week. I thought it was interesting that he said use apivar strips as well. I always liked the strips, but had not planned on using them this year.

[@brucesbees]

Yeah I thought he did a good job breaking down quite a few things. Of course there are many ways to do it but this is a similar plan to what I will use. Have had good success with Apivar in the past and plan to use OAV as well. I usually hit them with it worst hard through the fall and winter. Will see how things go!

[@thomasplummer2673]

That was looking great!

[@brucesbees]

For sure. Lynn is doing a great job!

[@gallowaylights]

[@dcsblessedbees]

[@GrammyMidwife]

😎 Awesomeness‼️

[@JesseThompson-gc4rg]

Interesting that everyone is suited up except the inspector, the bees must know.

[@MerrittHoney]

I know that guy!😅

[@dcrosco1458]

Here’s a question, I’m not trying to be an ass, but it’s a question I have. How do the bees in the wild survive with the varroa Mite? And bees have survived forever, but we have a hard time, keeping the mites out of the hives that we have. What is the difference for real?

[@brucesbees]

A lot of them don’t. And those that do are probably more resistant. The varroa mite has not always been an issue. It was introduced years ago and has been a nuisance ever since. Some bees are resistant to it and the viruses it carries. Many are not. There are people working on developing varroa resistant bees. We are getting there but for your average beekeeper it is a good idea to treat or risk losing your bees. With a good testing program you can determine the need to treat if you are diligent. But it takes a lot of effort and discipline. If interested in finding out more you could watch the videos of Cory Stevens and Ashby Miller. They are on the cutting edge of this breeding program. I have interviewed them both on the channel in my Intentional Beekeeping playlist. They also both have KZbin channels of their own. Great question!

[@WaltersToyota-m1y]

I knew where bee trees were that have died out. So it does happen. I think what keeps them going is swarming. A new swarm takes awhile to get infected. My opinion
