We put the VarroxSan strips in the hive 42 days ago at the publishing of this video, we are filming the results tomorrow to see how they did. Stay tuned and keep watching.

Love this girl's cowgirl up and solid worker demeanor. She knows what she's doing. No one will be waiting on her, she'll be at the front.

So cool to see, David! We put those strips on 42 days ago tomorrow. (Strips placed on 9/17.) I can’t wait to see how they worked!

Yes Carey, I did the same math so I'm making a video tomorrow and seeing how they performed. But remember I said these are to help keep mite levels low, not good as a flash kill. But we'll see.

Just as a side note for you it is best to place your strips across the top of your brood box or anywhere there's brewed because if you slide it down on either side of the frames the queen will not lay behind it and it's just lost space the vapors will drift down between the frames also your bees will be crawling all over your strips hope this tip is helpful

Based on everything I’ve seen I’d expect this to seem like it’s performing poorly. OAE has always been described as a hold the line type of treatment not a get the mite load down treatment.
@beek
@beek 2 күн бұрын
Yes, I said that OA is good to hold them down, but not good to do a flash kill. I said that in the original video back on Sept 18, so tomorrow it's time to see how they did with a high mite count.

In NZ we have been making ox + glycerin cardboard strips. very cheap to make, considered to be good to keep levels down during the flow. doesn't knock them down so much, but keeps the levels getting out of hand come autumn .

Good to hear. We need to always change up our treatments so it's great to have another tool. I'm making a video tomorrow on the results. It's been 42 days!

David, I have had VarroxSan in my hives for 4 weeks now. For me, it was a huge time saver vs OAV.

Thanks for watching. The label says 42 days. We actually filmed this video 42 days ago tomorrow so tomorrow we are filming the results, but not sure when I'll get around to editing and posting the video, so keep watching Jay.

Great Video, I bought varroxsan but havnt used it yet, I hate to open the package for 1- 8frame and 2 nucs, 3 weeks ago I had 2- 0 in mite test. Are you still feeding 1:1 with the weather still this warm?

Remember Oxamite ? Same thing sold 25 years ago. It didnt seem to be very popular and now this comes in as a new innovation. Strange.

I think it’s very pricey I think OA Vapor is the best you just got to do many treatments to each hive but it’s the best method
@beek
@beek 2 күн бұрын
It's more expensive, BUT the $500 OA vaporizer ain't cheap. I've found that most beekeepers with a few hives just aren't buying the $500 vaporizer. So it's good to have an alternate method with a lower entry cost.

Hi David, Lorobbees, has come out with a new vaporizer that is $299. I’m looking at getting one as it looks to work well for a backyard beekeeper with under 10 hives.

@@beek for the ones with only 10 hives they sell cheaper vaporizer on Amazon for 40 bucks 🤔and it last for many treatments As many as you want to do I have one they work great just take a bit more time to do it but if your only rocking 10 hives it would be great to be honest I used one for 2 years no issues and it did its job just wanted to pay 500 for quickness 😂
