oxalate
the queen has just started to lay, there is no percolating brood, the mites are all the bees ... what can be want more!
my family is located in a favorable phase for quite a treat with ' oxalic acid.
oxalic acid: it works, is relatively well tolerated by the bees, does not contaminate the honey, it's cheap and easy to use and then is allowed in organic farming.
would seem the perfect product.
fact, as also noted in an editorial in the number Raffaele Cirone three quarters of 2010 Apimondia Italy, the oxalic acid is successfully used in beekeeping for over 20 years, the cra bologna and disseminate the study 's use, is available in several regions of health plans, associations and consortia promoting the Bee, etc.. etc.. etc..
but something last April has created chaos. the Veterinary Service of ASL Sienna has heavily fined a beekeeper who used it. since then it seems that the upper floors have noticed that something did not return: there is authorized to market a product based on oxalic acid.
is simple to explain why that company would have the convenience of spending money (from what I've heard about € 500,000) to authorize a product that costs little more than nothing?
and then what? wait till the cows come home, even if it seems that something is moving, and to kill our bees or ...

Groin Hernia Pain Killers
Queen's
survey to check the status the queen.
already on a visit to seven days before, I had good impressions. I had not seen the queen, but the signs were encouraging. carbody emptied from stocks to make room for the brood, pollen import, a general harmony of the family.
now we must wait and see the brood is actually female, with all the rain the last time you never know. to want to be pessimistic could also be that is not successful in his flights of fertilization.

| brood irregular, very manly |
May 1 orfanizzato I had my family, the queen was atrophied, dozens of queen cells built throughout April. to tell the truth, then that queen (my 2009) was not good, good winter out, put down a lot of kelp and had all its triangulations on where to lay ... resulting in varying and hatched boxes above ruined by male cells. I should have done the operation before, but wanted a bit hard to produce 'acacia. know before the rain would not give truce
made two ... accounts (16 days to flicker, nuptial flight, etc.) now we should be and so I went to check. already on a visit to seven days before, I had good impressions. I had not seen the queen, but the signs were encouraging. carbody emptied from stocks to make room for the brood, pollen import, a general harmony of the family.
so I started as a poker player, to scrutinize the talaini one by one, slowly, looking for signs of active and fertile queen. I could start from the central brood if there had to be sure he was there, but for luck I proceeded as usual. via the diaphragm, and then frame after frame from one extreme to another.

to the central frame no sign, only stocks of supplies of nectar and pollen, then, finally, fired a lot of eggs per cell. good sign.
but the queen still did not show up, not born with the stamp of those ... maybe
finish the visit and stubborn I take the central frame to find it and there it is, playing on the main frame. now we must wait and see the brood is actually female, with all the rain the last time you never know. to want to be pessimistic could also be that is not successful in his flights of fertilization.

How Long Is Penis Of Ulliel
varroa treatment
later this month I choose to book the summer treatments for the consortium plan to combat varroa.
regional bees this year, the laboratory has made four assumptions struggle
api life var (piano)
Apiguard (Plan B)
Apiguard + api life var (plan c)
Apistan + bees life var: (plan) are
know in a timely manner the fluvalinate (the active ingredient dell'apistan), but contrary to preconceptual use too much chemical in the hive.
I read that fluvalinate has remarkable persistence, which leaves no residue in the molecule stable in wax. are also known problems with the emergence of resistant mite populations of this substance.
rather then direct the thymol (var Apiguard life and bees), which then are also entitled to the biological.
well as a more complex composition than all'apiguard api life var (thymol, eucalyptol, camphor, menthol and thymol against only), using two very different covers for when the temperatures as they make it better.
last year I had a mixed treatment, a third of the first cycle and two seconds Apiguard third round with live bees var.
I had several problems with the api var life because of too high a temperature during treatment, one of the two families had moved out completely from the hive for the entire period of treatment. Apiguard the other hand was better tolerated decimante, effectiveness does not comment, I leave to you: 1078 +1383 falls Apiguard varroa in 10 days and 5977 + 1530 with api var life in 21 days.
today but I can not predict what the temperatures will be in August, then: what to do?
I think opt for the floor there, like last year, and then I play the second temperature.
