Sorry for the loss of your son. Praying for you and your family!!! God be with you.

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

it's mites. I treat with oxalic acid because it is not really a pesticide, but does not pollute the hive with chemicals and so far mites die 72x's faster, or that many time more toxic to mites than honey bees.

[@shaunbarker9201]

Thank you Darrell for all your videos,were in the uk and have a three hives and three nuc's . The main hives are cedar and two of the nuc's are poly. The nuc's are empty at the moment,we're going to use them in the spring,but my main concern is that our main hive was really strong and we did three treatments with oxalic acid using a vapouriser. The main hive has re queened itself late in the season and it's going to be a close to whether it makes it through winter. I definitely recommend using oxalic acid over other treatments as there are no harm done to the bees,honey brood or capped honey. A cheap and quick easy way to treat for varroa.

[@dfishman76]

Shaun Barker that's what I was leaning towards

[@garyshaffer68]

Yap im with barker on that. Oxalic acid and vaporizer. A lot of time a queen will stop laying up here in middle of oct and nov in pa dont mean shes not there just because u dont see egg or brood.

[@bmckinney1316]

How do you treat for mites? Sugar sprinkle? Great videos thanks keep Up the great work!

[@dfishman76]

I currently dont treat but I need to start

[@PopsShack]

Keep those frames centred rather than all pushed up over to one side like you have them.

[@PopleBackyardFarm]

enjoying watching this, since it is our first year with bees always learning :)

[@dfishman76]

+Pople BackyardFarm thank you

[@corneliualdea5385]

U have it that way for the winter season. That's why U had comb build up on the inner cover ok

[@borobaggins2858]

I think they SWARMED anyway

[@restoretractor]

Love your videos, please keep up the Great work...GOD Bless You, Bobby, Winston Salem, NC

[@dfishman76]

+restoretractor thank you.

[@thomasredman3777]

Darrell, I think it's time to treat the have now, not soon.

[@reneemoorefrost4871]

I Used the mineral oil and fogger. Not sure how effective it was. I'm in Alexander County, NC

[@dfishman76]

Ya there are mixed reviews on the mineral oil. I have the stuff to do it just have not done it yet

[@Wixxos]

Think that's the queen at 4:40 for a few seconds. Besides mites in the brood, were you seeing other issues with the brood?

[@dfishman76]

+Wim miW some dried up looking brood. I think it's because the brood got chilled. Got to switch the bottom board out

[@reneemoorefrost4871]

did not know that. thanks. I just cut out a hive. I don't plan on harvesting honey from that hive. can I fog that hive now?

[@dfishman76]

+duane Frost of your not going to harvest from the hive then treat them if you want

[@robertreeves6188]

i bought a hive this spring my first i treated for mites sept. so left them alone for 2 weeks then put another tray in like it said for 2 more weeks so 4 weeks total went to check on then no brood no larva will a queen just stop laying i did order a queen should b here tomorrow but worried that she may still be there cant find her there is still alot in the hive and shes not marked

[@dfishman76]

+robert reeves depends on where you are but the do stop laying sometimes when it gets cooler.

[@robertreeves6188]

im in Kentucky its been 70s to mid 60s last few weeks

[@brunosulikowski]

A give away would be sunkin cell capping and a foul smell. BTW I enjoy watching your experiences with the bees.

[@dfishman76]

Bruno Sulikowski ya it's not AFB. I am thinking the brood got cold and the have a mite problem. Thank you for watching

[@dfishman76]

+Bruno Sulikowski thank you

[@66otnt]

Daryl, I am surprised that you split the bees so late in the season, but can I ask you, did you do this because you still had plenty of nectar and pollen around then, or was there another reason?

[@ruthannjones5873]

66otnt In an earlier video the hive was trying to swarm. He moved the queen to a 5 frame with plans to combine if they were not successful with a queen. I'd say he was surprised to find eggs.

[@chinadoll1892]

Im confused. I thought the queen emerges from the bottom. If the side is chewed it was a worker took it out (something wrong/diseased) or another queen killed it (kills competition)?

[@dfishman76]

She does come out of the bottom of the cell. The first queen goes around and kills the rest of them by chewing out the side of the cells

[@reneemoorefrost4871]

this hive has swarmed. it is one year old and yes I would like to harvest honey

[@dfishman76]

+duane Frost treat after you harvest not before. Not sure if you know that or not.

[@thecolburnfarm7613]

I checked both my hives that I installed packages into a week ago and they are both laying I got eggs and larvae in both hives, but, one hive already has supersedure cells in it so I took them out but, the funny part is last year the hive I had there did the same thing, do you think it might be the location, its just strange

[@dfishman76]

+the colburn farm not sure about that. Sometime you just have bad queens and the hive knows it

[@pspuria81]

some of the capped brood had smallers wholes which tells me hive beetle issue

[@josephrawls]

Man you have good eyes. I'd say treat for mites and they should be fine.

[@magoogers6412]

Is keeping come which is a dark brown colour a danger to the bees?

[@Tappedline]

lets us know what treat ment you use..... i am in the old north state also....

[@sandraedlin9281]

Very interesting Darrell, I just love to watch your stuff. I feel like I learn something new every time. My questions are what do you use to treat the mites? I know there are several things out there and I don't know what would be the best. Also, I had a man tell me last weekend that he treats every year for preventive maintenance, what are your thoughts on that?

[@dfishman76]

I don’t treat at this time but I need to. Most say it’s better not to treat unless they need to be. Not 100% on that

[@chomershaphal6674]

darrell, i watch a lot of your videos and bee videos in general. on this one something looked funny to me and i finally placed my finger on it. if you look at the movement of the bees, they look like they are moving in jerky movements, kinda like a housefly moves, just looked a little odd to me from other videos of healthy hives i have seen. is it just me? could it be something with the mite problem? i swear nothing else looked like that on the video like your movements, so i didn't think it was the video. what do you think? i watched it a couple times and that first frame at 1:37 is when i noticed it.

[@dfishman76]

Scott Schoepflin if it's what I am thinking it's called the waggle dance. It's how the bees communicate

[@chomershaphal6674]

well at first that was what i thought, but that wasn't it, i watch the video of your split in october where they were making queen cells, and the bees in that video were moving more fluid. it almost made me think like they were confused. it was on more of the frames of that hive, and did not look like the waggle. just jerky movements walking all over the frames. maybe just an illusion.

[@dfishman76]

+Scott Schoepflin I will have to check it out

[@bensteele566]

What did you find out about the brood?

[@pspuria81]

how well did the mineral oil fogger treatment work? did you do a mite count before and after the treatments?

[@426superbee4]

idk could be AFB, and could be the mites. Why I have hybrids, they to hyper active to get mites ...

[@frankum1821]

426 SUPER BEE I was thinking AFB also

[@426superbee4]

But it didnt look rotten idk

[@dfishman76]

+426 SUPER BEE don't think it's AFB

[@426superbee4]

nope it looks like they got cold and died in the cell

[@dfishman76]

+426 SUPER BEE I am think that too. Need to reduce the hive to a 5 frame nuc

[@reneemoorefrost4871]

I'm a NC beekeeper. I'm planning on fogging with mineral oil for mites also. What are your thoughts?

[@dfishman76]

+duane Frost some people use that method and I have to stuff to do it. How old is your hives and are you planning on harvesting honey?

[@marvinseelbach776]

i heard oxalic acid treatment 3 times, once a week for three weeks is 100% kill of mites

[@lisagillis09lg]

What is the smoke for?

[@corneliualdea5385]

He I men u had the inner cover up side down

[@dfishman76]

This is how I put mine on... you can put yours on how you want

[@smokeydabeecharlescoleman8365]

What exactly are the issues, and how or did you solve them ?

[@dfishman76]

+Smokeydabee Charles Coleman they where swarming. Normally not a problem but it was late fall. They did requeen themselves and are doing good

[@smokeydabeecharlescoleman8365]

tried to reply 3 other times, this is my 4th attempt. You were making comments about the brood and said you needed to research the problem.

[@dfishman76]

+Smokeydabee Charles Coleman I thinking it was chilled brood

[@StIsidoresFarm]

So you made the split at the beginning of October?

[@dfishman76]

+St. Isidore's Farm because it was going to swarm

[@StIsidoresFarm]

OK, we're only two years into beekeeping and I'm trying to learn as much as possible. Wanted to make a split on a hive over a month ago, but was nervous about the time of year. Sort of regretting it now.

[@dfishman76]

+St. Isidore's Farm ya this time of year is not a good time for that. Good luck with your bees. How many hives do you have?

[@StIsidoresFarm]

Three. Hoping to double that number in the spring. Thanks again for taking the time to make and post all of your videos. They're really helpful!

[@dfishman76]

+St. Isidore's Farm good deal. Hope it works out for you
