Sounds good..hope it doesn't go the way of the Love Bugs that were introduced for mosquitos.

Hey Ray, keep us posted if you experiment. Seems like there should be a way to raise your own.

Yea, you get all of the blame. If it really works out and we all start using it, will he give you the credit. :-D

Wonder if these things have been checked on shb larvae that pupate in the soil?

Steve,
I just received an e-mail that stated that these mites also control SHB in the hive. Can't wait to see.

Jim,
I don't want credit just results.

I'm placing an order Monday.

Carol · March 21, 2014, 04:47:20 PM

We'll be waiting for your results!!

sc-bee · March 22, 2014, 10:37:33 PM

Heck with the mites I rather see them control SHB but a twofer would be nice :-D

Sounds great in theory, but I'm more interested in what happens in unbiased practice. There's been a lot of positive feedback........by those pushing this method. Would be great to see science back their claims.

Some one else to do all the work. who is the show me state?

I'll lead ya to water this time. will ya drink?

we have showen it is legal in the USA for crops. Start there!

I am not saying put this in a hive.

It is your choise to be brave. or on the cutting edge. so to speek.

jay

if I had the money I would try around the hive. there is already 116 mites that live around bees?
