SBGMI Tests UBeeO Spray in Overwintered Apiaries | Testing 15 Survivors in 3 Yards In 2 Hours

The SBGMI acquired UBeeO for the purposes of testing Michigan Survivor and Locally Mated VSH Honeybee Stock. The mission was to establish baseline breeding criteria, identify hygienic behaviors in perennial maternal lines, and evaluate the usefulness of UBeeO spray in hobbyist and sideline operations.

so where is the follow up video to show us the results?

[@sbgmimedia]

It is in the hopper for editing! Hope to have it out sooner than later.

UbeeO website is down. I need to buy this to start my VSH breeding program underway in Australia

[@sbgmimedia]

Oh no! I am sure they are aware and working on it!

[@jerrieprice475]

It says in my information that you should be waiting 15-20 seconds between sprays (wit until it dries). I notice you didnt do this. Did it melt any of the wax cappings?

[@sbgmimedia]

So, the timing was a bit off - and some sprays were quicker than they should have.
We did not melt any cappings. In fact some of the results - even with the expedited spraying were "unremarkable."

[@jerrieprice475]

I also dont see where you took any pictures before you put the sppray on. How will you remember what they looked like before? Maybe you just arent showing that part?

[@sbgmimedia]

We took before pictures of each colony along with the recording. The recording is also the before picture.
