Caught my own swarm
About 10 o'clock this morning I looked out my window to see a swarm of bees in the air over my deck. At first I thought they were moving into the bait hive I have at the side of my deck. Then I realized they were leaving the one hive I have on the other side of my deck. Going out my front door I cou...

"Varroa destructor: A Complex Parasite, Crippling Honeybees Worldwide"
I lifted the following post by James Fischer from the Bee-L mailing list. You can download the pdf of Traynor's article from the link below. Her article gives a much more detailed history of Varroa than I had understood. "Varroa destructor: A Complex Parasite, Crippling Honeybees Worldwide"...

Re: Environmental "Protection"???
Here's an alternative view, including a comment by Randy Oliver, who says "By my math, sulfoxaflor applied at even the maximum rate of active ingredient per acre should be far less toxic to bees than is [the neonicotinoid ] imidacloprid applied at its normal rate." https://geneticliteracyp...

Re: High temps
By noon today the nectarometer at Gibsonville was nearly empty. I refilled it about 1400 and will check it again tomorrow.

Re: High temps
Again today my pint nectarometer emptied between 0745 and 1330. However, at my outyard in Gibsonville, about 1/2 mile south of the McLeansville Wildlife club, another nectarometer placed at 0800 and checked at 1300 was untouched.

Re: Oxalic Acid Vaporizer
I took advantage of the "warm" temperatures today to use the OA vaporizer on 4 hives at the house. The other hives are either Wayne's Bees (no mite treatment) or nucs that are too small to safely vaporize. When we get a warmer stretch, I plan to treat at the Cooperative Extension, Brown S...
