    Latest snake-oil varroa treatment pretending not to be a varroa treatment

    Dear Dani I don't think I can cope with some of the subscribers on this forum because it is immediately obvious that some who are very abrasive , will not budge when it is proven that certain practices are doing the bees good. It pays to be wary when a few fire warning shots at subscribers on...

    A new formulation of oxalic acid for Varroa.

    Your reply says a lot about being very wary. It gives a warning that some would think it's not worth a carrot to join these forums in case someone replies like you. I noticed your previous replies see. To other subscribers. The beekeeper is well respected and uses no chemicals his advert...

    Please what is the up to date advice on the efficacy of the OMF with catch tray?

    The powers that bee gave a chart for counted varroa per day re the infestation by Varroa mites counted on a tray under (of course) a mesh floor. I found that icing sugar did not make any mite or mites drop off any bees that most definitely had varroa on them. When I saw 2 almost dead bees in...

    I am aware of what they do because I took notice of my Aunt who was a school teacher and she knew I had a love of reading. She 'advised' me that reading is the key to knowledge.

    Latest snake-oil varroa treatment pretending not to be a varroa treatment

    I have read your post with interest. One of the forum readers was kind enough to say there are a few 'posts' discussing the subject of Randy Oliver's experimentation.
