From acid treatments to mite strips back to back, I'm trying to understand the business of Livestock beekeeping. it's not easy but we have to try to listen to perspectives that really don't fit our approach. We can all learn from each other.

It's a great time of the year to look back and get clear on what I've learned from our project thus far. Some pretty surprising but common sense strategies that you can start using today.

In an amazing discovery scientists have discovered that honeybees develop traits to fight mites while in capped brood. In this podcast I discuss this new finding as another reason we should ask ourselves are we helping or hurting bees by using chemicals to control mites.

This fact propels the evolutionary impact of how different strains of bees if left alone will adapt to the environmental strain they are facing. We humans are also evolving. This fact is also why the bees are able to adapt to mites quickly, if we just let them.

This one is hard to believe. What would you do?

You don't need to open your hive to see if they are healthy. Here are 3 simple signs your hive is doing well.

I'm hoping these few ideas could help in the fight to stop some of the rediculous government ideas.

It's not cold or mites that is the greatest risk to kill your bees this winter. Learn how we use this tool to help with that battle.

I'm amazed the bees survive. It truly is an environmental mess.

A different look at what might be damaging our honeybees and natural pollinators.
