Deformed Wing Virus

[Toffeesmum]

One of my colonies (only one in the locality) has DWV.

What treatment can I use now, if any??

Thank you in advance

You need to treat (or act) to remove varroa, and hope that the colony is strong enough to recover - you can't treat DWV directly.


And that has been discussed recently on more than one thread on this forum.
See for example http://www.beekeepingforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=33036

 

[For want of a better word]

Vaporise the varroa with OA
Bailey comb change
Feed garlick infused syrup
All worth a try

Isolate colony and be prepared to loose it

Cross your fingers

Shook swarm maybe (but not until it warms up), but not a Bailey (where you are trying to retain the brood (and thus you retain the varroa!)

Where there is brood, Oxalic vaporisation would have to be repeated a few times. Oxalic trickling is unsuitable when there is brood because it cannot be repeated quickly enough, safely for the bees.

Garlic?

Err, I don't think so! No chance of reducing varroa that way, unless you don't do it properly. Deggy ya.

Maybe you muddled it with shook swarm?

Keep death off the roads - learn to fly instead.
Tractor man is correct!
Shook swarm ... of course!
Been sampling last years mead... a rather nice Raspberry mead!

i dont understand it either but my wife does

Look! I had to look it up on the net as I don't speak devonish or cornish. Could have been welsh, for all I knew.

So I just roughly spoonerised it, nothing new in that!. (Look up 'spoonerism', if you need to). In this household I tend to favour Spooner and J prefers Malaprop.
