Good thinking ! 😉 Just did my Apiguard Varroa Mite Treatment today here in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Will do the 2nd required Tray of Apiguard, in two weeks time. Needs to be above 16C / 64F to work correctly. Come mid Sept... Scot gets closer to being nippy! (aka Cold,) As a Nation, didn't invent Whiskey for nothing. 🤣 Apiguard is a really nice product. Alas, EU, and UK only sell those little Foil Trays amounts (A Vet Meds Licensing Remit.) However, I think in USA and CA, I've seen Beeks have super Big Green Tubs of the stuff. 🤭 Think Kamon Reynolds was using the Tub in his YT Video. 😏 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 Happy Beekeeping 2022 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

@RyanFerreri Жыл бұрын

These videos have been fantastic. I wish there was a one size fits all mite treatment, but there really are different scenarios. For me, the only time I could use Apiguard is when the clover fizzles out mid-July and I take my summer honey off, until when knotweed starts blooming right about now. I can't use Formic Pro in August because it's too hot. So my approach is to do mite counts when I pull honey off in July. If I have mites in my wash, I do an Oxalic dribble to knock off the phoretic mites, then follow up with Formic Pro in September when the temps are cooler. I could also just use Apiguard in that mid July to end of August timeframe, skip Formic Pro, which seems to be hard on queens, and then do OAV once brood rearing pretty much stops in late October. So many variables, so I think it's worth it to learn about all of these methods and use the data available to make treatment decisions. Thanks for the overview of all these options.
