How I Treat My Bee Hives With Oxalic Acid

Описание: Winter is tough on honey bees… and this year I had to open up some dead hives to find out what went wrong.

In this video, I walk through how I inspect winter losses, what I look for inside a dead hive, and how I’m treating my remaining colonies with oxalic acid (OA) to protect them moving forward.

I also show how I light my smoker properly — because good smoke makes every inspection smoother and less stressful on the bees.

Losing hives is never easy, but every loss teaches something. If you’re a beekeeper dealing with winter die-off or trying to strengthen your colonies for spring, this video may help you avoid the same mistakes.
