Thank you for hosting Randy Oliver and his talk on mite resistant and the trek towards not having to treat or maybe just a the hopes of using only organic treatments with no residual effects. He, his son's, and the team of people that work and volunteer for him really are helping us out in this area of our beekeeping. Thanks you very much for sharing this subject to us in a ever evolving and changing but challenging way. A sideline beekeeper in California. 🐝

More options are best and big money doesn't want it, they don't make money of of fixing a problem. Again and again a great presentation by a man that understands.

Thank you NY Bee Wellness and Randy Oliver ( RO) for posting this excellent presentation. FYI, I tried the OA Dribble method this July ( have only ever vaporised) on all my new NUCs (created with my grafted 2023 Queens) using RO's timing method and OA formula ( on his website). I am so impressed with the results and how healthy these NUCs are looking going into our northern BC winter. They will get another OA vapour treatment in Oct/Nov. Also for the first time, for late summer hives that had mite issues, I isolated (on one frame of bees) the Queen in a NUC box for the first 24-36 hours after putting in 2 Formic Pro strips , all hives accepted those Queens ( year 2 Queens) when i put them back in. Not a big enough sample size to know if this technique will always work, but I am happy with the results.

[@ionutalexandruristea3692]

Wow!

[@tomahawkmissile241]

good idea on checking a treatment before re applying on OA -when not Efficasous

We have Rottnest Island a bee breeding program used by a group of comercial bee keepers here in western australia. They pool all the best colonies in western aus being able to control the drone population to breed super colonies . This looks very hopful . with 140 hives i dont want to try to replicate your work so i dont know how this will play out....if they decide to follow your advise.... The talk is all about chemicals. Is it true that in some areas the feral populations develop resistance ? WA has a huge population of feral bees but generaly vicious poor producing multiple swarmers but having in some areas a resistance to AFB. Diesel price is our killer now ,we may have to live with the bees .
