This is one of the best times to treat because there’s little to no capped brood, which means the mites are exposed and the treatment is more effective. 🐝 In this video, I show exactly when I applied it, why I chose the dribble method, and what I’m seeing just a few days later. After checking my bottom boards, I’m already seeing dead mites, which is a good sign the treatment worked. As a b

Let’s talk about Varroa destructor, folks — the #1 killer of honey bees in the U.S. If you're keeping bees, whether it's one hive or a hundred, you've got to stay on top of your mite levels.

I’ve seen this going around on tik tok saying this an organic way to treat varroa mite. Firstly no! This won’t work.

While it’s sometimes employed to manage Varroa mites, the fine sugar can obstruct the bees’ spiracles and trachea, leading to respiratory distress and even death. Sadly, I learnt this lesson through trial and error myself, so when I see videos going viral supporting this method only,
