This was great! And I agree and stand with you 100% on the livestock aspect we have bee havers and beekeepers.

@@PeabodysApiary thank you! Yes we do have the two for sure!

Nice job. Words of wisdom. Dawn Ultra is what I use. Both alcohol and dish soap have been found to have similar results if my understanding is right though some will argue that one is better than the other. Keep up the good work my friend from down here in Southeast Alabama.

Thanks Bruce! I have used both and have had similar results. I personally like the smell of the dish soap better haha. That’s my personal opinion. Idk about words of wisdom though not sure I got a lot of wisdom

Great Video! Glad you covered being good stewards of keeping bees!! Subscribed!!

Shaking them into the tub seems unnecessary. I just roll them off the frame. But to each their own.

Yeah I have done that as well. Got another video out there somewhere of me doing just that. Just depends on what I wanna do that day lol. I like both ways.

I think there is a smoke combo that can be used to calm the bees but also keep mites off them but im not sure but I remember reading something on it

Are you thinking of an instant vap for oxcalic acid?

I prefer alcohol.. it’s thinner and the mites settle better than soap .. plus it’s clear and makes it easier to see than dark blue

Yeah everyone definitely has their preferences! Alcohol works great too! Have you watched the Greg burns video alcohol vs dawn? It’s a good one.

@@NevadaBeeMan-nq3po fair enough. I know quite a few who use the soap. Just not a lot of KZread videos behind it. I’ve used both and they have been very similar to each other with the results but I agree I don’t base it off of one thing either. I just like to try new things and I haven’t had bad experiences with the soap or alcohol.
