Got a request to speak at the next Georgia Beekeepers Association Spring Conference on Varroa Management. I'm absolutely floored by it.

I guess its true what I learned in the service. If you can't amaze them with brilliance the baffle them with BS.

You must know something they want to hear about. Congrats.

I lost my hives last winter and split two double queen packages 4 ways this spring.

I did two OA treatments the first two weeks, (after I saw open brood).

I just did another OA in September on two of the hives and didn't get one to mite drop. I put in Apivar on the other two but I believe I am mite free. Thanks to the early OAV, and having no other honey bees in the area.

You very well could be. I find it hard to imagine but there are still isolated areas that are mite free. Australia has managed somehow to keep them out.

If he takes his honey with him, she can keep an eye out for that sort of thing.

With no doubt, varroa mites kill more hives than everything else combined. Until a new beekeeper figures this out, he’ll be a steady costumer of Gardner’s and Hardeman.
