Oh hush. He didn't steal shit. You know how many bee keepers do this? Stop whining

I find them on the ground cold, so I have to move t hem into the sun so the can warm up.

Yes. The SpyHives come with clip-on covers to keep it dark inside when not being viewed.

It is okay to vaporize the brood boxes when there are honey supers present in NZ. Email me direct if you want a more comprehensive answer. russell@beequip.nz

This is the first time we have had this comment. We have the RobberGards on all our hives and never have this problem, even with just the 25mm opening. It would be nice to know why you have so many dead bees. There may be another factor involved.

We haven't found an observation hive anywhere in the world that has all the features and benefits as SpyHive. It is designed as a nice and very functional piece of furniture to install in a house, school, zoo or Old People Rest Home, and operate as an awesome beehive for your whole lifetime. Excellent investment.

You can just build your own with wood and plexiglass. Just most likely would be stationary, as opposed to spinning. I’ve seen one just like that off the 126 in Ventura/Fillmore . Lol they built it and I guarantee it didn’t come anywhere near 1500$. Crazy. How much does material cost? 😂

Is cristal or plastic?

@@BrothasOnline in eu this would cost like 30$ max if you will to made it yourself, 1500$ is super fkn overpriced

For that price it better be diamond and platinum, maybe even a little 22k Peruvian gold. 😅​@@raigelaa2683

Your father took you into the city, To see a marching band?

​@gavinburnett91 how did you know??

I own the full size but I'm getting the smaller model. It's an overall upgrade to the full size model. Better heat management, works for commercial beekeepers better due to the design. Make no mistake. It is an upgrade to the original. Not sure why they are still selling the og model

Yes it works with most common batteries apart from Ryobi. Contact lorobbees.com to purchase in the US.

There have been no reports of any signs of varroa resistance to OA from any of our many beekeeper clients in NZ. We still get the same excellent mite drop with OAE strips in our hives now, as we did 4 years ago. Some scientists say that they don’t believe it is possible for the mites to get resistant to OA.

Thanks for your comments - much appreciated. Some great tips in there for sure! We agree - the InstantVap is a game changer!

It definitley helps to keep the unit clean. It does insulated it better and you really notice it on Windy days. If you have multiple apiaries it doesn't cool down as quick between them, conserving battery.

The Oxalic strips work great in summer. They can be used any time of the year, if it is warm enough for the bees to have brood frames.

Hello Paul It depends on the capacity of your batteries you will be using. The more Ah it has longer it will last. Also the larger the Dose, the more power it will use. Keep an eye out on our website for a new operating guide we will be releasing this week - it has battery life scenarios in it.

We have run a 2-frame observation hive like this for 3 years continuously. It works great and you can always see the queen.

I mean its not a production hive its sn observational hive for referencing and just display really. If youd want a honey hive then youd have other hives out placed in the usual boxes.. my only issue would be disturbing them being inside a house.. if you played any music or movie loud or created vibrations with a vacuum or had a dog or kids.. you can tap on a fishtank because they cant go anywhere. Bees can one day decide to jump ship and head to the next guys harvest or join colonies ..

@@Z-Ack Bees have no ears but they can hear. It has been shown by experimentation that honey bees can detect the air-particle movements associated with airborne sounds. Bees antenna have an area called Johnstons organ, that converts sound stimuli to neural impulses. Honey bees produce many frequencies of vibration and sound from less than 10 to more than 1000 Hz. So far it has been shown that they can detect/hear sound frequencies up to about 500 Hz

How do you prevent swarming with so little space. @@beequipnz6442

Yes, if you manage 2 things. 1. Ensure that none of the hot parts touch the rubber. A thin silicone sheet could make this easy. 2. Ensure the first 100mm of discharge is not directed at the rubber. After 100mm, the Oxalic Acid gas is not hot enough to damage anything.

Sure - head to our website where you can buy online: beequip.nz/collections/oxalic-acid-solutions/products/oxalic-acid-crystals

Great question. The authorities haven’t commented... The NZ rules state:- Schedule 2 of the ACVM Regulations 2011 provides for an exemption from registration under the ACVM Act referred to as the ‘own use’ exemption. In a beekeeping context, the ‘own use’ exemption is commonly used when a beekeeper prepares and applies preparations containing generic substances, such as oxalic acid or formic acid, to their own hives for control of Varroa mites.

Check out our latest video on OA - its all explained in there. Thanks!

no, to old.

The strips are wet when soaked properly. But they shouldn’t be so wet that they dribble when picked up from the storage bin or rack. Each strip holds 23 grams of solution so there would be something wrong if it appeared dry. If the varroa mite levels are kept under control, bee mortality is very low when the wet strips are added.

We can find no evidence of OA building up in the beeswax. All honey has OA in it already so it is highly unlikely.

Hello Daniel, good questions. A key point to remember is that honeybees maintain the brood nest at 54 to 60% humidity and the temperature stays close to 34°C. The bees are very fussy about this. If the strips are placed in the brood nest correctly, then they are not exposed to excess moisture in the atmosphere. It is not a problem. If the strip is not in the brood nest and is exposed to atmospheric conditions, it can absorb water. We haven’t measured exactly how much OA is left in the strip at 7 or 8 weeks but what we do know is that most of the useable OA has been dispensed in the hive at that point.

@Justin Landrum He gave the Ratios starting at ~ 2:40 ruclips.net/video/In2BFUPNdV4/видео.html

Havent heard of Oxalic Acid/ with Glycerine on Cardboard Strips. Interesting concept... 👀 Tip: Here in the UK* we use a Ratio of x7 grams per 100ml of Water, then add 100 grams of Sugar (as an OA in 1:1 Syrup Solution.) And use this as a O/A Trickle*... Make up the Volume you require, but use it straight away, Do Not store it ! (O/A use: follow local Vet Med Laws. Each Country varies to VM approved Treatments.*) Ideally each Seam of Bees need x5 mls of OA Trickled directly onto them, in the Brood Nest. I use a large x60ml Oral Drench Syringe from an Animal Vet, or you can by drench guns (eg for Sheep) and set that to x5ml doseage. Hope this helps.* 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 Happy Beekeeping 2022. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 Love the Drone footage in this Video. Amazing. 😎

Any special type of cardboard?

I did OA with sugar water in a weed sprayer. Opened the lid and hosed down the bees 🐝 just after pulling honey.

The resident bees learn to land on the brood box and walk down the box from the top.
