[wannabeekeeper]

Okay all you guys in washington state. I am a new bee keeper and don't know what or how to medicate my bees. Tell me what to do and what to use and if possible where to get it. Thanks!!:

what do yo want to medicate for? first question is what is the issue.

General preventive meds are not the normal for most on this website.

Generaly most here will recomend an issue to treat first.

we don't seem to have any problems as of yet so thats good to know. thanks

Not a problem... most here try to stick to a natural healthy hive with no pesticides or anything else to contaminate the wax or honey.
There certianly are cases where its needed to get a hive back to health (some will disagree with that statement also) But in generaly we like to keep the chemicals out of the hive.....

might read Michael Bushs website, he has a lot of great info, and MDAsplitter.com....
