In this episode, we're joined by Paulo Mielgo and David Westervelt from Vita Bee Health. Our discussion is focused on varroa testing and treatment for honey bees.
We discuss the pros and cons of Apiguard, Apistan, and the new VarroxSan oxalic acid strips. "Resistance" build up is always an issue with treating for varroa as they build up a resistance to specific chemicals over time, necessitating the rotation of different treatments.
Beekeepers know that it's not so much the mites, as the viruses they carry that do the damage.
This episode contains beekeeping news, wild & crazy beekeeping stories, and of course a little humor from the Not Real Jeff Foxworthy.
It's all about having fun while we learn about beekeeping and sharing the love of honey bees!
