Eric appears to be a fine young man, knows his stuff and willing to do what he can to help. He's a rare breed these days! Glad you escaped AFB.

Excellent. Dereck is a great presenter and really great explanation. I’ve had Sacbrood a couple of times and it’s cleared up on its own but a great educational video! Thank!

Yup it's a real problem in spring on a few weak colonies ,but easily sort with the guys advice great vid

I really like that this was a conversation and a brief discussion on what to do if you see this. Also it is always a good idea to have a second pair of eyes (professional) on a potential issue.

In addition to your usual videos, thank you very much for the last series with Derick. I learned and I am learning so much from you.

Great clarification of what sac brood looks like. Many thank Derek for sharing your expert knowledge with us all. Fortunately on this occasion it’s not AFB! 😊

Thank you for bringing the knowledge of the Tech Transfer into your videos! Never thought this is what they bring to the table. More videos like this please! You are truly educating us all!

KRTP=Great value to Manitoba beekeepers! Well done, guys! Thanks for making this video to show some of the benefits that KRTP offers us.

I am sorry that you got problems with that nuke , But I am also happy because you are teaching us what to look for an that educational knowledge is priceless..I seriously thank you for showing us 🇺🇸 & 🇨🇦

I consider myself to be a good hive manager but you have raised the bar! Thank you for challenging me!

Good video, Derek knows his stuff and explains it almost as good as you do. Good KRTP. We have two bee inspectors for the entire State of Wisconsin. I think Florida does the best job overall, California is extremist like everything else there, imho. Good to support your State (or Province) Bee program. You would enjoy one of those portable USB into a laptop or cellphone MICROSCOPES..... That would have added even more to this well done video.

Ian Thank you so much for sharing this. The odds of the little guys seeing this would freak us out. Derek your the man!

Great video 👌 lot's of great info from Derek 🐝🐝🐝🐝 Thank you Ian and Derek 👌🐝🐝

I love this channel! So much wisdom and knowledge in real life situations, so much better than a book lol

I just wanted to say thank you - this is great content.

A big relieved smile at the ende! :-)

These last videos are absolute knowledge! Thank you, sir!

Brilliant observational video Ian! Keep kicking ass with your bees 🐝🐝🐝✌️

What a great resource Eric is.

Ian is is Dave from Louisville KY . Great video , For hobby bee keepers like me this is a great info .

Great video showing what to look for in the differences between the two brood diseases. I have only seen Sacbrood one time, it was also in a springtime NUC. Yeah, before diagnosis, the fear of something worse runs thru your mind! Thanks for the video.

Thanks for posting this Ian. What a fantastic opportunity to learn some valuable knowledge that may be VERY helpful in the future.👍

Great information and demonstration. Thanks for sharing.

Very informative video. I was taught the ropiness test probably 10 years ago when I did my beginners course with my local beekeepers association, using the flat end of a matchstick, but nice to see that it still applies as a valid indicator test regarding AFB. Supposedly the smell should be quite bad with AFB as well from what I have heard.

Ha good video we have test kits here in the states for the foul brood test but noting else, this was a good video Ian thanks for doing it.

You do very good at making videos mr. Steppler...🐝

Thanks for sharing. Love this 🐝

I had something similar happen to one of my hives. In knew the adult bee population was old. Nurse bees are young. I gave it a frame of emerging brood and things cleared up. I think there are 2 issues here. 1. Genetics and 2. Age of the adult bee population

One day I hope to use this knowledge you explain to us last week.

Great educational video, I've never seen sac brood either, great teaching video to show people what sac brood looks like.

Thanks for sharing!!

American found brood usually has a dark scale on the bottom 1/3 rd of the cells. So hold the frame in angle to put light on the lower part of brood cells, that frame had NONE of that on close shots.

Good morning from Grand Forks

I learned something again 😌 thanks Ian.

Good catch there! I am sure you are very relieved, and I am too. I am very ignorant about the diseases, so I appreciated learning about this one. Your operation is so good - and I am so happy to learn more about the bees. Also, his showing how to diagnose between AFB and this Sac Brood was very simple and clear, which again helps you to keep on top of things and know what to do. I appreciate Derek's well explained lesson. And the tools to do that test are all over your farm, so testing supplies are very cheap!

Very informative video

I just wonder how many disease and infections do bees deal with on a regular basis that beekeepers don't know about and only find out when the colony is small and weak 😌

This is widespread bee disease in southern Russia, called bag-brood virus. There are some medicaments which are helping.

Bet he could raise some badass bees

Wonder if you put in a new queen and some addition nurse bees if it would pull out of it? Would be a good experiment but I also understand the desire to just get it out of the operation. Good information and thank you for sharing!

СПАСИБО (Thank)

worth adding to the archives. thank you for sharing. does he have a channel as well?

Not yet, we’ve just established the program in Manitoba this year

good thing you got him on the payrole

Mites are usually the cause for sacbrood.

Looks like an experiment to me. take a hand full of bees from your best hygienic hive add it to this one and put hygienic money where it's mouth is. Those few bees should start cleaning out the hive and then queen cell from that hygienic hive when they are ready to bring the hive back As he said it's just a few frames in the operation. An excellent small scale experiment without a major program on the actual effectiveness of hygienic s added to a troubled hive in action.

Afb has that particular coffee brown colour consistency..roping out in a sticky manner stringing stretchy and smells like blood and bone fertiliser a bit .. keep all your gear clean daily .. hope everything is ok

Good call. .. I would not take any risks and burn down the entire hive. It is quite interesting to note Derek poking his pen into the brood and not using any latex gloves. These are viral diseases.

With new hygienic queens, you should see even less of those hives

hy Nistadine in siroup ther are inflamator supresor ,

Can sac brood be transferred by bees if they drift to another hive is it contagious.??

chlorhexidine, hydrogen peroxide , bicillin 5,celandine broth

This gives a terrible imbalance of eggs being laid and not enough nurse bees I will confine the queen and give nurse bees when I see this you could even lock the queen up a few days in a cage if you wanted I've came out of this situation many times one hive gave me 1300 in honey after just makeing her stay in the deep chamber with an excluder

Question but can this still spread from hive to hive ?

Low mite counts , it’s also associated with stress and susceptible genetics

@@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog I agree with susceptible genetic (mellifera mellifera, my opinion).., I see this especially in early spring with chalkbrood, but I have never seen it with sacbrood! I know it sounds bizzare..., but I always thought at least theoreticcaly.., that sacbrood (befor varroa) was a virus of the adult bee and not of the brood.. and now with the mites as vector it jumps into the brood. thats why I asked you about the counts while you are treating your ladys! ;-) Ian, thanks a lot for your YT work!!! Is it possible that your patties are not working well, not enough crude protein or EAA spectrum problems??? how are your jelly levels??? the last two years I did some trials to check the difference inbetween sup-patties and liquid proteins...., the difference is clear..., liquid is an immediat inpackt on the jelly levels, (visully seen after 24 hours), I`ve never seen this inpact with patties.... maybe one of the stress factors you mentioned????

Say you did find AFB in a yard, what's your protocol for dealing with it? Pull the infected colonies out, destroy them and then give the rest of the yard antibiotics?

Yes

Did he mention how it spreads? It's a virus so is that hitching with Varroa or just a drift hitting stressed bees? We need answers Ian lol...
