No, the bees are killed with a cup of Petrol ( Gasoline)  or a Phosphane ( I think it is called ) tablet.

I still don?t know which Canadian beekeeper Max is referring to because he never said nor answered when ask, and there are several well known Beekeepers in Canada.

As far as Ian Steppler, His videos are described as blogs . In the beginning, he simply recorded his daily activities and operations.

Most were short and informative. Good Information could be found within as he would >show and tell< what it was he was doing with his bees (on a daily basis), and how he was doing it in real time. Not for everyone I?m sure, especially (he or she) who feels they may already know all they need to know lol; But to a new beekeeper such as I was at the time of his beginning blogs, it was very interesting to see how a professional beekeeper operated, yet willingly shared that day-to-day operation and information with the public which included how and why he did what he did.

Not only that he was happy to answer questions that a person may have. Very commendable IMHO. (As TheHoneyPump use to say) 😁

Why is it that I hey are only burning equipment. AFB is on the bees. Did they move the bees to new hives?

I don't know what it is but the color is orange and there must be plenty of it because that's about 90% of what's coming in. That pale yellow is on the way out. I'm guessing that it's denser too because their baskets aren't as full of it as they were the pale yellow. I have a yuuuuuge tulip poplar that looks to be flowering and I've heard all about how it's great for the bees but other than that, I don't know anything about what they get from it. I believe that the state park behind my house is full of those, and oak trees.

I am within a hundred and fifty miles of him so I am a member of his blog . He makes at least 5 something a month from me. :wink: . I have changed my way of beekeeping on account of him. I now run all singles. Now I am getting ready to build his escape boards.  He is a pretty good beekeeper.

   I know about twenty years ago.. There was a Gamma facilty.. About an hour and fifty minutes from my house.. It was very competitive about the first five years.. For about the last fifteen years. This inflation has killed it.. The price of everything going up.. And bee equipment did not go off nearly as much.. Cheaper, just to buy new and start over again...  When all the costs are considered.


       BEE HAPPY  Jim134.  :smile:
