Backyard Beekeeping Q&A 202, Spring Varroa Mite Attract and Kill Method? Cage Drones & REMOVE MITES

Welcome to another episode of Backyard Beekeeping Topics. Today, we start off with some new scientific observations made by Dr. Zachary Lamas. With his observations regarding varroa destructor mites demonstrating a preference for young drones over nurse bees, I may just have a method for controlling the drones and giving the mites time to collect on young drone bodies so we can remove the drones and mites together. If you want to attempt to count varroa destructor mites on drones, I am suggesting the use of this Queen Cage, but instead of caging the queen to make a brood break, spring may be the perfect opportunity to draw mites to drones and drone frames and using the Queen Cage to contain the drones until the varroa mites attach to them for easy removal. This is the cage I'm using: (not an affiliate link, no compensation for sharing this link): https://www.betterbee.com/queen-reari... They have both deep and medium Queen Isolation Cages. If it holds queen bees, it can also contain drones while you count mites and get a sense of your real varroa population. SHOUT-OUT for today is this YouTube video where you can learn about the valuable research that Dr. Lamas has done, and continues to do, please tell them I sent you :)    • "Why don't we sample drones?" with Dr...   I think we may have a fantastic new tool for controlling varroa destructor mites in spring, with no chemicals. Key Video moments - 19 minutes and 13 seconds (Testing the wrong bees) 1 hour and 9 minutes in, this could be an effective varroa management practice. FOLLOW THIS LINK TO LEARN ABOUT CREATING A BROOD BREAK BY CAGING THE QUEEN: https://www.fredsfinefowl.com/queenca... Today's topics are in order below: 1) Is it safe to use Oxalic Acid Vapor on hives with honey supers and brood? 2) Can I use QMP instead of Swarm Commander to attract swarms to swarm traps? 3) Question regarding moving bee hives. I need to move them 30-40 feet while keeping them on my property. Is there a faster way? 4) My brother is starting with bees and plans to put them in the chicken run because it already has an electric fence. Just wondering if this is a good idea for the chickens? 5) Do you remove leftover honey from hives in spring? If so, what time, and how? 6) My Flow-Hive boxes don't match the standard Langstroth medium supers. You are going to produce a new video showing how to make a matching shim and medium super. Would you mind leaking your solution? *This is my Flow-Hive Page* https://www.fredsfinefowl.com/theflow... 7) I have a question about winter bees. At what time during spring do we expect to see those die off? 8) What are your thoughts on putting a lean-to over the hive? I get told to put them in full sun and then afternoon shade. Thoughts? Instead of a full structure, where cooling is the desired effect, consider a sail shade system that can be taken down during winter: https://amzn.to/3TYKVzi This is an affiliate link, you can also just google sail-shade systems. 9) Why are people so leery of bee packages? They are cheaper than nucs. Deeper Reading about what package bees may be going through: https://academic.oup.com/jee/article-...
