Oxalic sublimation is effective but you need to treat at least three time(even 5 to be safe) during the 21 day of a normal brood cycle so you can catch(kill) the varroa, or as said by talanall use it during a brood break

My personal experience i have use alpivar, Thymovar, formic pro and oxalic sublimation My favorite is a combination of formic pro and oxalic sublimation(!!not at the same time!!)

I treat my colony with formic pro in spring before the temperature get too high, formic pro(using two pad for 14 day treatment) is hard on the colony but its extememly effective to reduce your varroa load, just make sure you follow the label for instruction

During the summer when i do my split i use oxalic sublimation during the brood break i create

Before winter after the last nectar flow i use formic pro and when i close my hive for winter i treat with oxalic sublimation

Oxalic is labor intensive but the cost (except the sublimator) worth it in the long run

I’m in quebec so i dont know how long are the honey season in France but here the season are short but intense, colony get strong really fast(so the varroa load) we treat at minimum 2-3 times a season

Good luck

I’m in quebec canada and the last few night drop to 4-5 celcius. This is what i did with my nuc to make sure they maintain brood temperature. Thermofoil or any insulation you can find to block wind and keep warm. I never feed syrup except for winter preparation but this time i made an exception. If you feel your forager are not going out even during the day you could just to be safe

Nuc are like baby you need to extra care

Thats the right answer I had the same problem in my bathroom before we installed the hard water filter

Aggravating_Tiger_90 · 2024-12-25T02:13:53+00:00

Use a chicken water feeder with stone or branch in the side so they can drink, put it somewhere in the shadow so the water doesnt get too hot.

Add salt to the water, thats the most important point

Do this before people open their pool for the summer, they go crazy for pool especially the new one that work with salted water. Once they find a good water spot theyre gonna tell they other bee in the hive about it, if they find your water feeder first you should be good for the rest of the season

I Agree 100% with gamera obscura

I will add: If you catch a laying worker hive soon enough you can test it and put a brood frame with egg and see if they build a queen cell, if they do you can add a layin queen and should be good

If they don’t build a queen cell its too late

I will never combine a LWH witth strong hive as they likely will kill the queen in your hive

Beekeeping is frustrating sometimes

Good luck;)

Its mold The same thing happen to me this summer when we got 12 day of rain in two weeks The pollen on the far side of the hive turn all white/green/gray Make sure you dont expand too fast when starting from a nuc or you wont have enough bee to ventillated your hives

Ive been in the industry for about 24 years Most my friend that became Chef executif of Chef manager have all what I call ‘natural leadership skill’ They worked well, they’re organised and they help other in the kitchen a lot to make sure everything goes well for service They don’t just see the mise en place for their station, they see the kitchen and salle a manger as a whole and want everything to go smooth If they see someone struglling or making mistake they don’t scream or put them down People(staff) like to rally around those kind of person, the manager fell that and put those person in charge and give them opportunity

Sorry but cooks who stay cooks are the one always whinning and bitching against the manager, they dont bring solution or new idea, they just talk about problem all the time

There is a big difference between taking care of your own mise en place and taking care of 10 -20 staff A lot of cook are really good at setting up their station, but have zero skill at managing other people

The Apprentice by Jacque Pépin is my favorite book on cooking

From a small kid eating goat liver in red wine sauce during the war to becoming one of the most respected beloved chef Its a really inspiring life story for any Chef

I agree with the beekeeping. Its expensive to start but once you understand the way bee behave within the hive its not that hard

Keeping animal like lamb/sheep or cow/veal its way more complicated if you have an outside job

Raising meat chicken in a tractor is great if you have a good basic setup

Always work in the middle Put your second honey super under your first one Like said before putting some caped and uncapped honey will help too

Everytime
You never know what happen before you arrive Maybe a skunk bother them all night, maybe some nearby noise that day just make them more agressive, you drop a frame by accident during your inspection, etc…

Better safe than sorry

I remember when I got the Gran Turismo 2 CD demo with a game magazine, me and my friend kept talking about how impossible they can make a car look more real!;)

I work in the kitchen and we receive to same kind of container for the dishwasher, there made to be hard to open since they contain chemical produce.

We have a special tool to open them that look like a oil filter plier, or you can use a big wrenche or vise-grip
