[@strugglingbeekeepermarkcot9642]

Thanks Mike gotta get mites before they get my bees. I actually done another treatment on them today. Hope you all have a great weekend my friend.

Great video Mark. Nice to see you being proactive fighting off those nasty little critters.

[@strugglingbeekeepermarkcot9642]

You have to be proactive with them. It’s better to stop them before they get started to bad. Thanks for watching my friend.

Good morning Mark.. Nice video and info. The hardware cloth is a good thing, it lets the air flow & helps keep the bug out. I don't know if the peppermint candy helps with the mites but it helps me with the beetles. Thanks for the great video.

I'll be starting the same this week. Supers are off, so treat treat til the next flow. Good stuff Mark.

[@strugglingbeekeepermarkcot9642]

Thanks Brian I appreciate you watching. You have to treat them if you want to keep them.

[@Outdooracademe]

Another invasive species. We've been surrounded for decades but nothing ever seems to be eradicated. Great video Mark.

[@strugglingbeekeepermarkcot9642]

Thanks for watching Irene I appreciate it. Those mites you just have to keep on top of them or they can wipe your bees out. Hope you have a great day my friend.

[@ALs-Outdoors]

Just curious how a wild hive battles them naturally?

[@strugglingbeekeepermarkcot9642]

A wild hive will swarm to keep there numbers down. That is how they keep the mites under control. Thanks buddy I appreciate you watching.

[@MinnesotaBeekeeper]

For the most part they do not. Until some years ago western honey bees didn't have them.

[@downunderfulla6001]

We’re in limbo waiting to see if varroa is about to spread through the country🍺🍺

[@russellkoopman3004]

What is the latest news on their spread? Hope you can stop them.

[@strugglingbeekeepermarkcot9642]

I hope they stop them before they get started to bad. Those mites are a pain to deal with. Thanks for watching buddy I appreciate it.

[@downunderfulla6001]

@@russellkoopman3004 no news since Tuesday 6th. 31 infected sites from the east coast to the states north west at Narrabri. Personally I think it’s now highly uncontrollable. The initial outbreak was mismanagement from government body, but then there’s the few beekeepers at the start that transported apiaries hundreds of kilometres after the states zero movement of hives was put in place.

Mark 7 days apart is to far apart. You will miss some capping larva. How much OA are you using per super? No peppermints do nothing. Little tip, you can use a laser thermometer to find your pan temp.

[@strugglingbeekeepermarkcot9642]

I am using one of those green scoops full per suppers I forgot to say that in this video. I have had success with the peppermints in keeping away the hive Beatles so far. Thanks for watching I appreciate it hope you have a great day my friend.

[@MinnesotaBeekeeper]

@@strugglingbeekeepermarkcot9642 7 days apart? Wondering who gave you that advice. OK, your mite wash at the end should be interesting.
