This is your friendly reminder to keep on top of monitoring for varroa mites. ๐ Summer colonies can look strong while mite numbers move quickly under the brood cap. Whether you prefer alcohol wash, sticky boards, sugar rolls or drone brood inspection... Go check โem, before the season gets away from you!
ย
๐ค Nerd out with us: Doing an alcohol wash at this time of year can give deceptive numbers because lots of mites are in the brood. Since alcohol wash method only captures a snapshot of mites on adult bees, your numbers may seem low but are actually high or climbing. As the bees ramp down brood production, mites transition onto adult workersโso even if an effective mite treatment like Formic Pro works very well, you may end up finding โhighโ numbers if your pre and post treatment washes occur during this unique dynamic. #healthybeeshealthyplanet #varroa #formicpro
The survival of your colony until next Spring depends on the choices you make right now. As you read this, the Queen is laying the eggs for your winter colonies. Thankfully, Formic Proโข gets under the brood cap to protect those winter bees who will take you through to Spring. Make sure you have your Formic Pro treatment ready.

Heather had the opportunity to present the latest findings around Formic Pro and Tropilaelaps at a lunch and learn, and we had fun chatting with those who stopped by the booth as well.
Congratulations to Keith from Louisville on winning our Grand Prize at EAS: an Apimaye Ergo Insulated Hive, as well to those who won our customized Yeti mugs!

June 22nd to 28th is Pollinator Week! This year we decided to put together a few important facts about pollinators in general. Of course, we had to include some about our favourite pollinator... the honey bee! ๐
Visit @pollinatorpartnership for more information on this week-long celebration and how you can help pollinators in your area.
Did you know... Sometimes, it is recommended to place a honey super with frames on the hive to give the bees room to expand the cluster while you treat with no loss in efficacy. It is also recommended when treating in late summer and early autumn, to treat while the last honey super is still in place.
Formic Proโข leaves no harmful residues in honey, wax, or hive components.
NOTE: Please refer to the label for proper recommendations based on your country.
