Winter varroa treatment and using the new suits

January 19, 2018 User deactivated Leave a comment

Today we treated the bees for varroa mites using oxalic acid.

 

We we mixed the acid with sugar and water and then dribbled the solution onto the bees which were all clustered together in a ball.

 

The oxalic acid acid kills 99% of the varroa mites but not the bees.

 

 

Unfotunately some bees died in the snow and mr McMullan got stung on the ankle.

 

Winter update and new beekeeping equipment.

The bees are alive and well!

Today we also got a delivery of new beekeeping equipment from the TESCO bags of help money.

The delivery included children’s bee suits, new equipment and new polystyrene hives.

Keep your eyes peeled for more blogs in the next few days as we treat the hives for varroa mites.
