|  Fight the Mite!  Now is the time to start checking for varroa levels in your colonies and how to manage them. Remember that mite numbers start to explode in August and September, and may rebound in October, as they did last year.Methods for assessing your mite levels are shown on the NY Bee Wellness page.  |

  |

|  
|  2 Year Project for New York StateNY Bee Wellness has partnered with Cornell University and the Cornell Cooperative Extension to wage a 2 year campaign to reduce the varroa mites in beehives:Fight the MITE!Beekeepers from throughout New York State have enrolled in the program to use and assess 2 new organic friendly formulations, oxalic acid and Hopguard II, for use in beehives.
Part of the program includes webinars, workshops, surveys, and outreach to teach beekeepers how to control varroa.

The project is set to commence in late Fall 2016 when treatments for the mites are the most effective (November and December).

Our goal is 10,000 dollars to meet the first milestone of the program. Your help is needed to finance this project (GoFundMe) through donations- all donations are TAX DEDUCTIBLE!  |

 Highlights: 
|  
|  
|  300 Non-migratory beekeepers reported, from 57 of 62 counties in New York State
 3267- Total number of bee colonies in November 2015; average of 11 hives per beekeeper
 2498- Total number of bee colonies in April 2016; average of 8 hives per beekeeper
 24%- Average loss of colonies during the winter of 2015-2016 (total 769 hives lost).
 The loss for the Winter of 2014-2015 was 28%
 The loss for the Winter of 2013-2014 was 48%.

 Most notable: almost 1/3 (32.2%) of 2016 respondents had zero winter loss, possible factors: a mild winter, and favorable honey crop in 2015. Some lost hives during the Spring frosts.
 -For the winter of 2014-2015, 15.7% of respondents had zero loss. |

  |

  |

|  
|  Beekeepers overwintering nucleus colonies- (23% of respondents) had 27% Loss of overwintered nucs |

|  Since so many beekeepers have beehives that made it through the winter, they should think about making nucs and raising queens. There is a positive, increasing trend among small scale beekeepers in NY for raising their own bees. This helps to increase the numbers of local resistant bees, replace winter losses, and save beekeepers money!For easy queen rearing see:Randy Oliver's webpage “Queens for Pennies”Also read the “Essential” series by Wicwas Press: Queen Rearing Essentials, Increase EssentialsNuc making resources:

|  Spotlight on European Foulbrood! 

Primarily a stress disease, it may be brought on by droughtEuropean foulbrood (EFB) is a bacterial brood disease. Itis considered a stress disease and is most prevalent in spring and early summer. It frequently disappears with a nectar flow. Occasionally, the disease remains active throughout the entire foraging season.
EFB generally kills larvae that are two to four days old while they are still C shaped in the bottom of the cells. Unlike American foulbrood, most of the larvae die before their cells are capped. A spotty pattern of capped and uncapped cells develops only when EFB becomes serious. 
The larvae change from a normal pearly white to yellowish, then to brown, and finally to grayish black. Infected larvae lose their plump appearance and look undernourished. Their breathing tubes, or tracheae, are visible as distinct white lines. Larval remains often appear twisted or melted to the bottom side of the cell. EFB usually does not kill colonies, but a heavy infection can seriously affect population growth.

To confirm diagnosis, send a sample of comb with brood to the  USDA Beltsville Bee Lab; you can also order the VITA EFB Kit for immediate results.https://beeinformed.org/2013/04/05/european-foulbrood-efb-identification/  Honey Bees and their Maladies (Penn State) http://articles.extension.org/pages/23693/european-foulbrood:-a-bacterial-disease-affecting-honey-bee-brood   |
