    Monitoring Hives

    No gadgets just eyes required, amuch easier way and a lot cheaper is to mark the correx floor with lines, monitoring as well as other things the capping’s, this enables us to check the direction of travel is the same as the location of the stores.

    Oxalic acid vaping...is it "non-treatment".

    Oxalic acid, is an organic compound used in the fight against varroa mite, just because its organic doesn’t make it a none treatment, we use an excessive amount to do the specific job, then it’s a treatment and licensed by the VMD for use in the control of Varroa mite within beekeeping.

    Monitoring Hives

    I agree with Dani, the cluster needs to be maintained, if it is brocken by disturbing the natural rhythm of the hive then the heat is lost the both bees and larvae will die. To state the obvious maybe.

    We at BeeTradex have not been told that any company is not attending, companies come and go, some are not financially as well placed as others and may see some shows as too expensive. Just as most things, the advantages are to give other companies a chance to flourish, I can confirm both ticket...

    How can you suggest it is one sided ! no other company except mine sponsors this site, the other companies just post comments regarding products, the shame is they will not spend money when they are getting all the press they need for free. How about supporting the companies that help keep the...

    BeeTradex is going to be larger than in previous years, instead of being dominated by a few large manufactures it is being opened up to smaller companies as well as promoting the trade in locally reared nucs and queens.

    I am happy to stop talking about equipment if people stop posting questions of me or comparing prices from one company against another.
