He used 4 gram of oxalic acid used by the sublimation method and was interviewed by Kaymon Reynolds 1000 + hives (commercial bee keeper USA. I am surprised you have not looked at the You Tube which is the best way to observe and not get the info from some one such as myself. I fully agree with...

I think you are definitely onto something there. I think actually he did mention that he found that the most efficient in one of his numerous vids. I have seen on YT that an interesting chap who seems amiable and really hands on that he will be moonlighting and put those strips right inside...

Thank you for you reply. The vaporisation should as I thought be very searching but it is not as searching and therefor as efficient as it was hoped. Cameron Jack -USA researcher elaborates on the sublimation method. I was surprised and disappointed when he said it was not efficient. It's...

I realise I really have no place in saying what I'm about to say but I feel compassionate about Randy Oliver's experiments with the 1 to 1 oxalic acid and food grade glycerine 'strips'. Randy Oliver does not seem to slouch in anything he does regards his experimentation and the fact that he has...

Your writings brings me to endorse your cleaver post by saying ----I bought a Nuc 11th June 2022, from a beekeeper fairly locally who advertises his honey as =no chemicals! the nuc came with between 600 and a thousand varroa. Thank god for Randy Oliver and his You Tube data.

Thanks for the reply.... Frederick Dunn said Dr Jennifer Berry disproved Randy Oliver's good results. That may have been incorrect engineering in the early trials. How is it that a research doctor in Argentina has had excellent results with 1 to 1 strips. Something does not seem right in Dr...

I'm glad the subject of Varroa infestation is being discussed because it can be an insidious problem that hides in a colony. I found out the hard way & was never informed at all when I bought our first Buckfast colony of incredible bees. They cane with varroa in manageable numbers but the...

Never laughed so much in years. Thanks

I'd love to be able to put that smiley on some of my posts....... It must be fun for you with your great sense of humour..... It's really what life's about.... what would life bee without a s........... or a......... ?

I'm a new beekeeper of just a year now and I do enjoy having a laugh at some of the comments------- What might kill an orange tree ( but bees are not orange trees are they) is a few minutes at freezing for a certain number of minutes yet our orange tree's been outside in the UK 30 years now &...

Although the research started in Argentina re the oxalic acid and food grade glycerine adsorbent 'strips' impregnated with that solution does not seem to be heralded by a fanfare of trumpets it should have already have happened. How come such a no no in the application of a similar chemical...

Thank you so much for the reply. I was an engineer and had to make things work or else I didn't get paid & that is a big incentive in the first instance! I still love making things and luckily am still active. Sometimes I don't feel right but what can you do at 81. It was when I got rid of...

Thank you... It is definitely a fact & you are absolutely right in your findings. I like Frerick Dunn who has good credentials and is a master B keeper and also has brilliant photography acclaim. He can be quite direct let's say if he finds a comment not to his liking. His ways are technical...

Thanks for the reply.... It's nice to know there is someone like me who is helpful and has a wry sense of humour? Funny enough I contacted Cedar in Oz to say what a good idea he came up with. I have put plastic hollow board which bends along the ridge easily and then affixes great with 4...

Thank you for the reply ,it's very much appreciated. Incidentally I must have done a few things right by keeping an open mind as I usually do (never say never) because I gave myself a pat on the back while I was looking at 40Lbs of honey from this Flow hive just today. It's a good thing I...

Thank you for the chance to join this Beekeeping Forum. I hope the very experienced beekeepers in this forum will not mind or be offended by the fact that I have two so called Flow Hives. I intended from day one to look after these incredible bees with the utmost respect and with the care they...
