<div><span style="font-family:georgia, times, times new roman, serif;">We are entering the height of varroa mite season, which peaks by October. Be sure to check your mite levels this month and in October. This is a dynamic period in the hives with changing forage, robbing, absconding, drifting, and reduced brood rearing-leading into winter. While you are opening the brood chamber to get nurse bees for varroa counts, check the condition of the queen and brood, and evidence of disease. Consider combining or consolidating hives. Which hives need the most <a href="https://nybeewellness.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=84212338dd107852d694d9b24&id=cbff77ebd5&e=9a56c4ce71" title="Tew feeding" style="color:#2BAADF;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline;" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">feeding in October?</a><br>
Before the nectar flow has ended, be sure to reduce entrances, and in some cases use robbing screens.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:georgia, times, times new roman, serif;">In some hives increased mite levels may be delayed due the the cold Spring this year, do not be fooled, check again in a few weeks. While varroa resistant queens may be helpful in the control of mites, they do not guarantee low varroa levels!</span></div>

<span style="font-family:georgia, times, times new roman, serif;"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Discussion on BEE-L</strong></span> ranged from practical to esoteric. It’s harvest time, and advice was requested regarding the<strong> proper use of fume boards</strong>. The discussion gave painting tips (dark colors to <a style="color:#2BAADF;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline;"></a>best absorb heat from the sun), adding a PVC elbow to increase air flow, adding a chute to encourage bees to walk away from the hive as opposed to walking up the front and sides, and a compare and contrast of the “cheesy” smelling repellants vs. “almond” smelling varieties. The whole discussion started with the observation that clearer/escape boards can be effective, but are very labor intensive and require multiple trips to the bee yard. Some authors opined that bee blowers are the way to go, and one author shared a home-grown “lifting gizmo” that employs a tackle lift to ease the chore of inserting escape boards.<br>
<strong>Oxalic fumigation</strong> is gaining popularity as a Varroa d. treatment, and the ProVap 110 has become a popular tool for beekeepers with more than a few hives. One author shared his “user error mishap” with the machine, that resulted in “the device spewing extremely hot gas and liquid OA everywhere.” Fortunately, the author was wearing proper safety gear and incurred no injury. He shared the details of his mishap so others will be aware of the potential hazard, and will be reminded to follow all safety precautions. A lively discussion on oxalic vaporization followed.<br>
Spurred by a query from across the pond, there was a <strong>very interesting discussion of bee breeding</strong>. “A small-scale commercial beekeeper in West Dorset, UK, has recently taken up instrumental insemination in order to improve his stock. He's surprised to find that about 40% of the drones are sterile! Is this normal/usual, or is it a local problem?” Much was offered regarding drone fertility, collecting drone semen, hybrid vigor (or the lack thereof), the difficulties inherent in bee breeding.<br>
The bee breeding discussion came full circle and ended with Caveat Emptor (buyer beware). Most queen and package producers do their best to deliver a quality product. But when it comes to honey bees, it can be a crap shoot. There can be no guarantee with open mated queens, and there will be variations in packages, even from the same producer in the same shipment! Some packages develop into boomers, some not so much. -Aaron Morris<br>
