Beginner Beekeeping FAQ 25 How to Keep Bees Robbing Screen BetterComb by BetterBee

Описание: For beginning backyard beekeeping enthusiasts, welcome to episode 25 of how to keep your honey bees.

See today's questions below:

1) Have you ever noticed bees having trouble keeping track of sugar syrup without volatile additives such as essential oils?

2) I live in North Eastern Michigan, is it too late to split a double brood 8 frame hive doing a walk away split?

3) Are thermal treatment methods for Varroa Mites Effective?

4) Will you show us how to make the Hive Visors?

5) Could you please discuss back-filling vs what a normal frame of brood adjacent to food stores looks like? What are the bees trying to do when back-filling?

6) How do you stop robbing on newly made splits/nucleus hives - From Ireland.

THERMAL MITE KILLERS - most thermal systems increase hive temperatures to 106 deg f and higher for periods longer than 30 minutes, some recommend 160 minutes per application. Dr Thomas Seeley's research has indicated that "temperatures above 99 deg f "disrupts larval metamorphosis". Therefore, this is not a method I'm personally willing to test on my own colonies. My mind is open on the subject. Please feel free to post links to real science.
