In reply to Robin Smith. We show it in a couple videos, I'll have to look up which ones. We just put the solid tray in the bottom board, spreadd 1 cup powdered sugar per hive body on the top box and let it trickle down, then see what drops in 24 hours! Pretty simple!

Do you have a video on the powder sugar method with your screened bottom board? Or do I just put screen in for 24 hours and see what I get?

Thank you,
Robin

I have two hives. One hive the bottom brood box is close to 90%. Top brood box is probably 60%. The second hive bottom brood box is probably full and the top brood box is probably about 90% full.
I am still feeding them.

Okay, for some reasoni thought I was supposed to treat in June or July and then August with different treatment. I will watch for that video. Thanks

In reply to Michele Thompson. We will start treating the end of August (that is why our fall beekeeping class is the last weekend in August) so we will be shooting videos on that in the next couple of weeks! Powdered sugar and having an idea of mite load is great at this point in the season!

I would love to see videos on how to use the pesticides for mites etc that you recommend throughout the summer/fall. Iam going to do the powdered sugar but that is all I will have done so far.I know they should be treated in the summer and in the fall. Help ?
