Jim, I also want that recipe you were talking about at Beefest.
TY,
See post #26.

Jim, this does sound promising. I am interested and would like to ask you if Dave mentioned how thick to apply the to apply this grease, or how long it will last, or how it is accepted by the bees and there reaction to it? Will it get hot and run down onto the wax ares of the frames? Will you be kind enough to give your personal experiences once you have tried this on your hives? Is Dave a member of your forum? Or any others that was telling you about this new formula a member of your forum? It would be nice to hear from them also. Thanks, Phillip Hall

I just talked to Dave.
He said to use your hive tool and wipe a little on the last 3/4? of the brood nest is frame tabs and in the space between the frames on the hangers. Basically where the SHBs hide.
Good luck.

In this case I am thinking that you are the guard force trying to protect the bee community
from opportunist. Is this a fair assumption?

Not even close, Phillip.
Forums are supposed to be about pooling concepts and outcomes
for review, in all forms.
I have made previous comment at other times on this SHB "trap"
,both here and on other forums. No matter how you wrap your
opinion on my review of this "invention" the posts are justified until
that time something changes.
Something like the advertiser bringing content to the table.
Following your ideals only serves to put slieght on valid comment,
a form of passive silencing.
That I cannot go along with.

Yes that small piece of quote from a question that I ask you which was taken from my larger post 37 to you, but I also went on to say this :
if he truely is trying to help, then I say more power to him. If he is only out for self gain and a few minutes of fame and a few bucks then shame on him. If he is a honest and straight up fellow, I don't want it to be shame on me. I had questioned him when I watched the video several months ago in the comment section and he answered my questions to my satisfaction. I can't speak for others, only myself. He seemed to know what he was talking about. I am thinking that if he is a good guy then he deserves our, or at least my, support. Now, if he does go through all of this experimentation again, with the industrial type never wet and fails and does not report this to us then we will know where Molly hid the peaches !! Right?

Not only that, but before I sent this answer to you, tycrnp posted in 36 , The post before I answered you; in post 37, that he has been using this system with great results.. As you know I am new here. I am considered a new bee and rightfully so. The first post that I read here on this subject is this line and topic, and the inventor did reply, in post 31. Now, I have not researched in past post for his replays or lack of but only took you word that he would not reply in the past after his 30th reply. So I don't know when that 30th reply was or what that reply was, or how many times he had been questioned since that reply, nor at this particular time do I even care. You told me "very savvy and well respected (USA) b'keeps, yet whilst his post has
been read more than 500 times and responded to more than 30 times..
not a peep from the guy since. And again I took and take your word for it . So I really don't know what to think of all of this mess, If his new experiment works out, then it works out, and if he fails he fails. I am hoping that he succeeds. I joined this forum to learn all I can about bees, Not to debate weather a fellows intentions are honerable or not. But I will say , I do hope his intentions are honorable along with yours. And being new here and with honest hopes of making new friends who also love bees, I am wondering if I would do better just watching YouTube. At least the video makers are nice , friendly and glad to help when I have had a question for them in the past in comment section. Happy Easter to you and your family..

"So I really don't know what to think of all of this mess"

Let the points made sit as they are, not to clutter it all up with noise/squelch
- that's the way forward.
Take offence if that is your way, none is taken or directed. Requesting validation
is not offensive behaviour, got it?

FWIW... I do not do "Easter" nor any of the nonsense around the roots of it,
however I do respect the (bee) beliefs of yhose who do, when those beliefs hold
water and are simply anoyher way of doing the same thing.
So... you enjoy your day, Phillip.

Yes I agree, let the points sit as they are. So far I don't see that you have made one. And I thank you for the good day wish. Got it ?
