One way you can help control mites and add additional much ventilation to your hive is with a screen bottom board. When using powdered sugar dustings along with a screen bottom board some mites will fall out of the hive. Along with other IPM approaches this can help keep mite levels low. Get your screen bottom board today

5 Most Important Tips For February What my video explaining the five most import things you should be doing in beekeeping during the month of February:

In my recent videos I've mentioned IPM, Integrated Pest Management) as a way to help control varroa mites. One of the natural ways to do this is by breaking the queen's brood cycle after the honey flow when the colony is at its largest and mites are at the height of reproduction. This is easy to do using a queen push in cage. By caging the queen for 5-7 days, the bees' brood cycle is broken as well as the mites' brood cycle. During this break, over 14,000 mites can be disrupted from developing. Purchase a queen push in cage and be ready to tackle mites. CLICK HERE TO ORDER NOW!
