Treating A Honey Bee Hive For Mites With Powder Sugar

[jqmaher]

Probably because he didn't want powder sugar on his honey frames.

David, in your video you put powered sugar on the two bottom boxes but not the top - was there a particular reason not to do that in general or just in this case? Thanks!

Use a bee brush to brush the powder down into the frames, off the top of them.

Hi I have a very important question from my dad, He is going to give his bees a type of vitamin because the bees cannot fly and look weak. I don't know what it is..he wanted to know what sugars would be ok to mix the medicine with. Please I need your advice.

@WhatAchickado It sounds like your bees have tracheal mites.....you need to use a menthol treatment for your bees...this is a very serious mite so dont waste anytime....
