Im in canada and im so excited for UBeeO to come to Canada. I want to become a queen breeder here in Canada and i want to make the best queens i can so this will definitely be a tool that i use. Thank you so kuch to SBGMI for hosting this presentation and thank you to Dr. Wagoner's teams for putting the work and research in and for sharing thier knowledge. 😊😊
Fantastic work guys! We’re really only starting our breeding journey for Varroa hygienic behaviour in our native Apis mellifera mellifera (AMM) in Ireland so thanks for doing so much heavy lifting for us in the US. The general consensus here though is that our August- autumn/fall mite levels are by far the the most important as they impact the health and longevity of our diutinus winter bees which is the key factor in winter survival here in Ireland. It’s also really encouraging that hygienic behaviour helps combat chalk brood ❤️ which is a common endemic, albeit seasonal disease in our cool damp climate.Is there a specific age or range of ages of capped brood that the UBeeO test should be performed on like day 10/15/18 or is a mix of ages in the grid circle preferable? Keep up the amazing work folks!👌🇺🇸
My goal is to get all my hives to be varroa-resistant. What do you do with the hive that is varroa susceptible? For example, I try to keep, on average, 5 hives. What should my action plan be if I have 1 resistant hive? What if I have 2, 3, or 4? I'm looking for the most straightforward approach that takes the least time.
My question; is their "unhealthy brood odor' synthetically produced or possibly are the bees reacting to the Hexane Solvent? If so, how certain are you that they would respond to the actual "unhealthy brood" in an actual colony scenario?
Thanks SBGMI, thanks Dr. Wagoner for this presentation.
Glad it was helpful!

What about drone vs worker capped brood? Does it make a difference for UbeeO?

What kind of bees does pols refer to?
Pol-Line, an established VSH mite resistant stock from the USDA
Remarkable science. Impressive.

Ive been following this system closely and that was one of the 1st studies her team did
@@jasonseaward8506 But my question has not been answered.
@@kipglass6222their study showed that the bees did not react to the hexane. I felt it didn't need to be said, my mistake I'm sorry
@@jasonseaward8506 I would love to see that part of the study and how they determined that?
We would have been farther along if the data had been shared with the original 2 other researchers. The good news, odors can't be patented.
