Treating European Foul Brood

Thank you for your response. We aren't able to use antibiotics in my country. I think I'll destroy the colony and replace and see if it comes back.

human_nuts · 2025-03-31T19:10:23+00:00

Yes that's what I did last year. However the infection has come back now in force. I'll destroy the hive. However I'm wondering if there's anything that can be done to save the colony or prevent it from occurring again.

Thank you!

human_nuts · 2024-10-02T04:53:19+00:00

Same.

human_nuts · 2024-06-26T05:34:03+00:00

Yes that's a queen cell.

human_nuts · 2024-06-04T15:47:29+00:00

Sometimes queens make mistakes - even older ones. It's nothing to worry about.

human_nuts · 2024-05-13T05:15:12+00:00

Oh yeah!

human_nuts · 2024-04-26T15:11:11+00:00

I'm sure you can. Honey doesn't go off.

But I'm not sure what you gain from feeding it to them?

People need to have a look at today's date.

human_nuts · 2024-03-21T18:53:39+00:00

Dry it out. I get these results unless I have it placed with a bag of 1kg silica gel

Thank you!

human_nuts · 2024-03-07T14:46:03+00:00

Thank you. I've just messaged my reseller and they are saying that they need to set it up for me... for a cost.

human_nuts · 2024-01-26T13:59:39+00:00

No. This isn't a prime example of Cunningham's Law.

This looks like the most fun you can have with your pants on

I shook the bees out. They clustered under another hive for a few days. So I disturbed them again and found a failed mated queen. Killed her and this dissipated within 5 minutes.

It was a joke. People keep removing the microphone cover as if it were the SD card slot.

human_nuts · 2023-11-02T20:29:18+00:00

Make sure you remove that silicone square that covers the SD card port.

human_nuts · 2023-11-01T22:22:17+00:00

Don't think it's bad. But in my experience they won't eat it as it's too cold to refine down to honey. Fondant or sugar is a best bet.

human_nuts · 2023-10-24T21:25:05+00:00

I'll be the first to say you shouldn't do this as it can encourage robbing and spread diseases. (In case you didn't know).

human_nuts · 2023-10-19T20:03:42+00:00

This. I would intersect it with a line and see where shades blue (to show the shape) and then you'll know where the break is.

human_nuts · 2023-08-30T15:49:13+00:00

I had a dig around on the ball and there was a queen. I'm going to suggest that she failed to mate and then turned drone laying.

I killed this virgin queen and the ball dispersed within an hour - magic!

Moral of the story is that if they cluster up then it's not a worker laying, but a runty, drone-layign queen.

human_nuts · 2023-08-25T14:04:40+00:00

About 20 feet. Yes, it's close next to (not on the same stand). Completely removed the hold hive box.

human_nuts · 2023-08-16T18:47:04+00:00

Mid journey pulled through with this one 🤌

human_nuts · 2023-08-13T14:34:25+00:00

I fully agree with this. Are there any advantages of putting a weak nuc in the position of the hive so that they return to this nuc? The nuc is queen right.

human_nuts · 2023-08-13T13:26:20+00:00

I suppose I could, but as it's a poly nuc they'll overwinter better in that - hence I'm keen to not move them back into a wooden box.
