Thank you for this excellent information. This is something you'll never hear on the news. The chemical companies know these things, 100%. It's awful. Too many people are more driven by profit than what is good for all. I appreciate your channel so much! God bless you and your loved ones always 💕🕊️👑⚔️🛡️
Thank you, my friend.
I work at a company called Koppert Biologics. They produce mites that are used for fruit and vegetable plants. They also create and sell Hives for bees called "Natupol Hives". Have you ever heard of these?
The produce bumblebees for indoor pollination of tomatos...
I miss the 2 self help cycle of life videos that used to be up. Watched those often.
I uploaded those videos on my other channel. These are the links:

Great video. I've seen a study done a few years ago about how to immunize the bees to mites, specifically varrora mite. They used natural methods.
Thank you, my friend.
Hey Zaur man,
I don't treat bees. But I bought bees from a bee breeder last year. I had to, to start somewhere. But not many of them survived the first year overwintering. This was very upsetting. I gave them every advantage. I didn't pull honey until this week to let the bees have every chance. I let them have all the honey first winter, and they had extra pollen fed. I fed them also often in the fall and when there was no nectar flow. I was very careful and aggressive to want to have more bees and to have them survive. .
So I thought many colonies should survive winter. But not many did. Many colonies didn't make it. They were weak. You could see it in the late fall even with some of them, because some colonies just couldn't seem to grow.
Then recently someone told me, that if the bee breeder you buy from is using lots of chemicals you can find anywhere from 50% to 100% die off that winter/same year. It seems this could be true about the breeders using chemicals affecting high early death rates.
Its upsetting that you can do everything you can to help the bees survive and have higher death rate than you should. There's no explainable reason why the survival rate wasn't higher, except the chemical issues. They had surplus of water, food, pollen, and good housing, plenty of room. Only the chemical issue remains.
Yes, my friend. The survivors have stronger genetics. Keep splitting the colonies. You will improve the genetics of your colonies if you do not treat them. Year by year you will have higher and higher percent of survivors.
Your problem may also be that you have them too much room. Think of it this way: During winter, a larger house will have a higher bill due to the furnace working harder because of how big the place is. If there’s too much room, the bees will consume too much resources in order to survive.
There could also be a lot of other factors, and moisture is definitely a big problem! Make sure they can breathe and if the hive is positioned in a way where water can be held in (also not in a shady spot) then it will retain too much moisture.
Beekeeping is all about learning from failure so don’t bee too disappointed about your first winter.
I’ve taken care of dozens of hives up in Canada, where the winters can be really harsh! Haven’t lost a single hive, because I was taught how to prepare your bees for winter and how to take care of them during winter.
Keep on getting all that hands on learning! And best of luck (:
@@zaurbeekeeper Thank you.
I don't often run into many beekeepers that are chemical free, treatment free. So I am happy to run into your channel and videos. Around me where I live everyone is very heavy chemical doctrine teaching, and emphasis on chemicals, acids, vapor, etc. They think that is the only way. Actually I would not like to tell them I don't do it their way because they would probably be angry even or crazy.
And thank you especially for your comment. Your response is hopeful that I can have a better year next year, I hope. If there's a hope that they can survive and then start to have higher survivor chance then there is hope still.
@@noahriding5780 All you can do is try to lead by example
And let them ask why your bees do so well
European bee strains were never the natural host of the varroa mites there are a parasite of Asian bee strains. Varroa mites have jumped to a bee that is not adapted to cope with the mites which means that most genitic material from the European bee species is going to be lost if treatment is stopped. Some bees in Europe are showing signs of resistance to the mites but it is a very small percentage. The other difficulty is resistant bees interbreeding with non resistant bees drones which heavily impacts the chances of a resistant queens daughters surviving the winter to carry on the mite tolerant line. It's more complex than you are saying though you are partly right. If other beekeepers treat in your area and you don't then the drones from treated hives will mate with your queens and outnumber drones from your survived colonies 10 to 1. The more heavily dense the population of other hives in a given area the more unlikely it is that treatment free will work.
Fascinating information!
I’m sure you have gotten better results from not treating your bees, but is there any proof from any scientific study that proves what you say?
Any source of facts and information would help (:
It's the same concept as antibiotic resistant bacteria
