Very droll
Bet you a pint Cheers can't "find" this peer reviewed reference he talks about.

After meeting Randy Oliver and hearing his fantastic lectures at the IOM BIBBA Conference... I now follow a system of constant IPM

Spring sublimation with Varrox beneath the OMF.... rhubarb leaves during the times of flow... during T shirt weather a trickle of Vimto with added 3% oxallic ( Apipoxall if you can afford it)... if I see any mites... ( probably fly in from neighbors untreated imports) and a sublimation in December after feeding.
Trialing a sublimation eke.. but needs crownboard removal... using a Sublimox.

Hole in the side of BB then corked ... OK... but would have ruined my bespoke BHS painted polly hives.

Varomor worked well ... but OA carrier ethanol was expensive..... SWMBO has now commandeered for white fly fogging as kit will do both !

intrigued by the vimto, what does that do?

No mention of it here or here.

No mention of it here or here.

like most on the forum, I doubt you are surprised?

[For want of a better word]

No mention of it here or here.

No one is claiming that either rubarb leaves or Vimto are bee medicines... neither is icing sugar.... What is the problem?

Does anyone still use camphor... I read somewhere that it cured the Isle of Wight disease... although probably not in a prestigious University publication!

The peer reviewed paper was published in Polish and I paid for subscription and English translation.. and are copyright!

The link would be useless to you unless you put your hand in your pocket...

At least have the decency to provide a link to the reference you claim you paid for.

Why should I wish to GIVE you anything!

As tight as a salmon's toll-din at 80 fathoms as you would know from your 1000+ rubbish fishy posts in the past!!!

Your credibility is the big reason why you should provide the source of this reference....assuming such a thing exists, which I doubt.
Which makes you......?​

Whilst we spend the day kicking at the player.... Beefiendly .. your credibility went out of the window when you morphed from Thymalarse/ Truble into your present ephemeral reincarnation... and then advertised your secondhand extractor on ebay and gave a link to it on this wonderfully entertaining forum.

I will treat your request with the contempt it deserves

You cannot do it even if you wanted to.
The paper does not exist (except as a figment of your imagination).


So yet again we find another member of BIBBA telling porky pies on a public forum.

Of course you can prove me wrong and allow Fatshark a chance to get hold of a copy of this mysterious paper you are quoted as having bought and paid to get translated.

Why are you trolling BIBBA members specifically?
I like many others who post here are also members of other beekeeping organisations.
Get a life..... give it up and go and troll someone else.

Hopefully the Moderators for this forum will pick up on this and delete more of your inflammatory posts.

Great video. Are they speaking Polish? It sounds like it. My Polish is only just passable but I think the one in red is defending her use of Dieffenbachia leaves as a prophylactic Varroa management technique.

I think BB is the one in blue as the other one looks like she has had too much Vimto
Love it

Bump.

It is now 46 days since I removed my Apivar strips and there have been no mites (in three hives) dropped in all that time and my last check was this afternoon. There is cold weather this week and I could trickle OA but am still undecided as I don't want to treat unnecessarily, especially since the weather has been very mild I am possibly too late for OA trickling to have full effect now. I'm now thinking that I wouldn't get the mite population any lower by trickling but I'm looking for some sort of consensus?

waiting for cold weather won't help in any case - bees will start to increase brooding now regarless of the weather

Because of the extended day length?.
Doesn't trickling work better when the colony are in a lose cluster . Warmer conditions?.

Only way to be sure of not treating unnecessarily is to have a reliable way of estimating mite levels and using it regularly. If your happy with the stick board count then stick with that.
