1. Right now I think it is safe to say, the top two most important things with your bees is 1. The Queen & 2. is Mites. I am going to make a video soon concerning the Queen. I went into my first hive about when I was 10 years old which was 63 years ago and started keeping bees when I was in my mid or late 20's. For years it never crossed my mind concerning the quality of the queen. I always say, bees are so similar to people. Queens can be different in many ways. You know people who are hard workers and some that are not. I suppose I should make notes so when I do the Queen video I don't leave out any points. for Example, 1 to 10, is she a good layer. All beekeepers like to see the queen when they go into the hive. When your looking for your queen, I am going to say she will react in one of three ways. !. A hider 2. A runner 3. A layer. Of course if you have a yellow Italian queen, she will be easier to spot than a black one. The Runner will get on the bottom board and run to the other side away from you and she is so very hard to find. It seems The Hider knows which side of the frame you are on and she will promptly run around on the other side and when you flip the frame over, there she goes again to the other side. The Layer. Oh do I love her. When you pull the frame out of the hive and there you see her and she is laying and she continues to lay cell by cell even though you have her out in the daylight and your watching her.
   In the video, I hope I remember to tell you how you can pretty much determine if your queen is laying good or if she is going bad. Right now, it is the general consensus that fumigating with oxalic acid is the best way to treat the bees for mites. It is best to do it when there is no brood or smaller number of brood as opposed to lot of brood. Happy New Year Tim Sr. WallsBeeMan on YouTube
