Loved the video, thanks for the tip on the screw with the Apivar. Also loved the retractable tool holder on your suit. inspired!

I hang mine using wooden kebab skewers, I find that it tilts the strips nicely and the bees have no problem getting past and they brush against the strip.

Cheers Kevin. Glad you enjoyed it. Same camera. Just on my Samsung phone. Although new phone coming next week! We will do a couple of 8k videos!

Black Mountain Honey Not sure our eyes (mine anyhow) could deal with 8k. Best get your order in for a 1tb memory card or all your vlogs will be 3 minutes long! Thought you must be using a top end GoPro but evidently not needed. Good work, save a spot on your mantle piece for the 100k subs award!

@@kevinperree7764 Wow! Im happy ive made it to 1k subs! ;) I do have a Go Pro 8 and the picture is great but its fiddly work. Yeah - my laptop actually struggles with 4k tbh. Im upgrading to a note 20 ultra so hopefully the video will improve a little bit :)

Great help! questions...if i have 2 layers of brood, do I put apivar in both layers? also, how do the bees get to the syrup in your upper layer?? new beekeeper here!

@BlackMountainHoney 3 жыл бұрын

Yes. We always split the apivar over two levels if there is two levels of brood. Just check its not stores above then you can place it all down below. Needs to be on the brood frames. Bees should have access to the syrup through the hive and frames

The way you show the strips in the thumbnail is not how you are supposed to put them in. You might want to check out Véto-pharma's video "Tutorial: How to use Apivar strips?". But yeah, using toothpics or screws might work better anyway.

Hi there- again. Binge watching a lot of your vids at min! Pls forgive my newbie ignorance, but if using this product, & say put it on that 1st week in August, would you still be making weekly inspections as well, or leave it for the 6/7wk period when you’re removing it? Rly grateful for your help, thanks so much. Useful video- as ever! Best Nicki 😄👍

@BlackMountainHoney 3 жыл бұрын

I stop doing any weekly inspections once it's in. Chances of swarms leaving in August are very low indeed but there is always a risk.

Once open, ones not used do they have to be binned or if stored used the following year?

Is there a temperature requirement or warning with this product?

Hi I have bien stung in the hand yesterday. What type of gloves do you recommend ? Thanks for your help.

@BlackMountainHoney 4 жыл бұрын

All gloves with let the odd sting through. Best for protection are the blue rubber ones that beekeeping suppliers sell

@alanthorn7930 2 жыл бұрын

Have you any thoughts on the possibility of Apivar leaving a residue in the wax? I have seen that when you do demaree swarm control you take the honey stored in the box that you put on the top. Would this box have had Apivar in it during the autumn and so have a possible residue?

Now that's a pissed off hive.

@TH-cl5be 2 жыл бұрын

10:35 so if the bees are walking it around the frames are these frames ok to turn into supers the following year ?

Hi. Lawrence. I used Apivar 2 years ago, on two hives, 2 days after using the Apivar, both hives swarmed! Have you any experience of this happening? Best. Stuart

@BlackMountainHoney 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Stuart. Never had that happen once. Very odd indeed. Its an incredibly effective miticide so if your bees havent been treated with it then definitely give it another go. Can get excellent prolonged drops of varroa. Laurence

Hi Lawrence, do you use vaporised oxalic acid crystals at all?

Hi. If I'm leaving a super of honey on for my bees do I still need to feed with Apivar?

@BlackMountainHoney 4 жыл бұрын

Be very careful using ApiVar with any supers on (even if left for the bees). Amitraz is wax soluble so should never be exposed to the super frames if they are EVER to be used for honey extraction.

Hey Laurence, fab stuff as always Was reading a forum earlier, one recommended Apivar for 6-10 weeks and then a OAvape as a mop up. Could that not lead towards resistance build up? Thanks 🫡
