treatment free beekeeping - the risks

ok, looks like i'm about to get opinionated here and open a can of worms, but.....

for what it is worth, i accept with humility that i haven't been around as long as a lot of you have, and don't have the years of experience to draw on and.....

for what it is worth, i am striving to avoid treatments, and avoid even putting syrup on my hives and.....

i absolutely respect each and everyone's right to practice beekeeping as they see fit, unless.....

it involves practices which puts at risk nearby colonies of bees not belonging to that person.

let me explain.

it occurred to me after participating on the 'treatment free beekeeping' forum, that a beginner like myself might get the idea that it is better to practice what i would describe as a 'hands off' approach.

this concern was reinforced by a recent post in which the poster described letting the bees take care of making themselves queenright, and not doing much more than adding boxes. the poster received accolades from others on the forum.

in fairness, i don't know the poster, nor do i know what all they do or don't do with their bees. this is definitely not a personal attack.

and i can tell from reading that a lot of folks who participate on the forum and advocate tfb are outstanding beekeepers.

and one of my all time beekeeping heros, michael bush, also promotes this approach.

here's the problem: if a hive is allowed to become sick and collapse, that hive is likely to get robbed out by nearby healthy hives.

whether it's mites, bacteria, viruses, or otherwise, that problem is likely to get carried back to the healthy hives and threaten them.

so the question is, do we as beekeepers have some responsibility to our neighboring beekeepers and to the feral bee population in this regard?

maybe i have missed it, and if so, i apologize. but rather than seeing advice given regarding how to manage bees successfully so as to not require treatments, what i see is advice given to let the bees work it all out for themselves and eventually you will have treatment free bees.

After 4 years of beekeeping as part of a co-operative along side individuals with various experience levels and 1 mentor who was formerly a provincial bee inspector and seeing a wide variety of situations occur in our 30 hives I'm:

- Still very interested in going treatment free with my own hives.
- But I am a little weary of blindly recommending the hands-off-aproach.

I think messing with the bees as little as possible is great. I think making beekeeping more accessible to more people is great.(the number 1 question I get asked by prospective beekeepers is 'how much time does it take?")

I also think people need to put in a certain amount of effort into understanding as much as possible how to work with the bees(or understanding how to not work with them and let them do their own thing responsibly.)

and yes, taking efforts to minimize spreading disease.

Not "likely",its certain.
"...whether it's mites, bacteria, viruses, or otherwise, that problem is likely to get carried back to the healthy hives and threaten them..."
Again,not "likely",but CERTAINLY .
This is the reason the government has mandated the use of removable frame hives-to enable inspection for disease.
If diseased hives are left untreated and allowed to contaminate others hives,the logical response of government is to protect MY property from YOU and the most "likely" result will be more mandates concerning treatment .

I dunno, there's treatment free and then there's just being lazy in this scenario. If you know a hive is dead or going down from disease I would think any beekeeper worth a lick would take care of it so it wouldn't get robbed out etc.... because he'd be putting his other hives at risk too. Then again, the whole thing about treatment free is to make your bees stronger, so maybe you really want your other bees to rob them out and keep the survivors....

"...., the whole thing about treatment free is to make your bees stronger, so maybe you really want your other bees to rob them out and keep the survivors...."
But ones freedom to determine the management of ones livestock/property ends where your management endangers MY property/livestock ,and setting those boundaries is one of the primary functions of a civilized society.
Based on history one can easily foresee where this path leads.
Just this summer there was a thread here concerning a mans entire bee yard being CONFISCATED and BURNED by the government due to willfull lack of treatment of disease.
I sympathize with ones conviction to not treat ones bees but not to point that I would sacrifice MY bees.

HI guys is not America wonderfull, some are free not to treat their bees and others free to treat theirs. I personally will treat mine and do anything to keep them alive and productive and if a hive should fail to re-queen I will provide them with a queen cell from my varoa resistant Queen (I hope) and keep my hive alive. When all you non treaters eventually breed a truly survivor bee, I am sure your queens will be in demand from all and sundry. Untill then I will do whatever it takes to keep my bees alive

Native bees and pollinators are vulnerable to the pests and pathogens that treatment-free beekeepers allow to exist as 'clinical' infections in their hives.

So, while your treatment-free hives may be able to 'survive', I wouldn't be so sure that you can say the same for local native pollinators.

Therefore, you're risking native pollinators by not treating 'exotic' Honeybees that often carry invasive pests and pathogens that got there because of globalization.

Furthermore, you can say that european Honeybees have caused a world of harm to native pollinators, regardless of their treatment status.

Let's not get into the pollinators (treatment or not) that travel across the country.

You're not simply risking your own bees, or your neighbor's bees.

What about our native bees?

Hmmm?
 
#18 ·
Someone told me that being treatment free is only just a feel good thing. So why would anyone really want to go treatment free?

My thinking is Let the experts find the cure or strain ob bee's that do not require treatment. I am not the expert or have the resources to discover the perfect bee. I do have the ability to keep bee's alive and increase their numbers until the treatment free bee is breed. I myself am not treatment free, I go to the doctor, my dog goes to the doctor,there is not a treatment free cat. Do we really know how many bee's in the wild have died from mites, just because a hive has been in a hole for years does not mean it is the same hive or another has moved in.

Just yesterday there was a thread about treating and I had some thoughts. Before they congealed in my head someone had already made a good posting of where my brain was going. If bees were cute and fuzzy, you'd have to treat. The point the other poster made was that if we didn't treat our dogs for heartworm because we were going to breed heartworm resistant dogs, or if you don't treat a horse for some disease it has because you want horses that can live with that disease, the Humane League or SPCA or whoever would come and confiscate the animal for neglect. Not to push this down another path...but I find it curious that the same folks who would be most appalled at not treating a disease in a dog or horse or cow or steer or whatever other fuzzy animal one owns seem to often times be the same people who don't treat their bees.
 
#25 ·
Good thread.
Good post libhart

I think treating our dogs, cats, livestock is a little different than some of the stuff done to treat our bees.

Some chemicals/medicines we put on the hive cause death of healthy bees and brood and it seems like the bees don't like it one bit. It's almost like putting a pack of flea-bitten dogs in a room and setting off sulpher candles to get rid of the fleas on the dogs. Most of the fleas will be gone but some of the dogs may die and all of the dogs will have not liked it and have tried escaping the fumes. Probably a poor analogy but....

We treat/medicate our furry pets much like we medicate/treat ourselves; with medicines that have minimal side effects.
 
#21 ·
Yes, I suspect that they are.
That's fine, but I have no basis to believe your suspicion is true. If anything, TFB bees would die at a much faster rate than treated bees, at least those that can't deal with the pressure, thus ending any negative influence. Treated hives simply lower the level to a point the bees are not adversely affected but may still be having an affect on the native pollinators. I think unless there has been a good balanced study on this, we're both simply guessing.
 
#16 ·
WLC, what types of treatment interventions do you apply to you hives? I am certainly not one to create problems or tlet them exsist, if there is a way to do so with minimal impact.

I do not advocte for the use of anti-biotics for every sniffle in human, but obviously treatments must be applied appropriately. The over-use of antibiotics and hand sanitizers has created resistant strains of human bacteria. Could the inproper use of honey bee treatment create a similar issue?

...Treatments do not equal disease free...
I like this! Treat or not treat attracts so much attention on this forum. I think, the important point is to have healthy (and happy) bees! If your bees are healthy, they would not spread disease and would not negatively affect others. They also would not require "the treatment". The problem is that in many cases people keep bees in sort of chronically semi-healthy condition... Such condition is unstable and may shift into disease any moment - at least I got this impression from reading this forum. The whole commercial beekeeping - sounded like reports from the battle-field, how many colonies already dead, how prepare troops for winter... disease control and prevention at the battle-field... blame on general (queen) if battle lost ... I think, it is common sense that if somebody diseased and potentially could spread disease, that person (animal, bee etc) should be prevented from spreading disease to healthy individuals.

This is a great discussion. I am just trying to learn how to do a good job, be successful and contribute a little to a natural thing.

Does on consider feeding syrup, Bee Pro Patties+ with Pro Health, SuperBoost and hive mangement treatment. Or does treatment consist of more applications through the year?
 
#23 ·
really good question g. i base my approach to feeding on what michael bush has to say on his website. basically, it's let them have honey, from stronger hives if necessary, and feed syrup only to avoid starvation. when i do use sugar, i use vitamin c to lower the ph.
 
#20 ·
It's obvious that commercial operations and globalization were responsible for the spread of a multitude of Honeybee pests and pathogens across the U.S. .

I think that we can all agree that there is an inherent risk to local pollinators (both native and non-native alike) associated with going treatment-free in order to get 'survivors'. Something I'm trying out myself.

The risk is certainly present in the initial stages of going treatment-free.

I would say that it's still present in survivor hives unless someone has some hard evidence that it's not the case.

So, in going treatment-free, you are presenting a local risk to native pollinators, perhaps more so than treated hives.

I've yet to see a study showing that treatment-free hives have a substantially lower pest/pathogen load than treated hives.

As a TFB beekeeper responded when I asked, "How do you know that they are resistant?"

The TFB response, "They didn't die."

That's the wrong answer to give a conservationist.

There's a hidden risk in TFB beekeeping that rarely sees the light of day.

....There's a hidden risk in TFB beekeeping that rarely sees the light of day...WLC.
I agree that TFB may potentially be a reservoir for disease. It is often happened in nature - there are natural "reservoirs" for many diseases including nasty ones. Technically, the existence of the reservoirs makes disease persisting. From another hand, it seems to me that the scale of "treated" operations especially in commercial beekeeping is much bigger. Treated bees are not "disease-free", they still could spread a disease (even stronger variety of disease). Commercial operators also transport bees long distance for pollination spreading disease. In this equation (to me) commercial beekeeping is over-weighting the "treatment-free" population. It should be noted that chronic treatment of the bees creates stronger varieties of pathogens, which than effectively spread via massive operations. "Treatment-free" is usually local and is not involved in massive bee-transit. At least, it seems to me this way.

Interesting observation. It is my concern that EHB presents risk for wild bees. So, I have mixed feelings - I love my honey bees but I do aware that they may compete with native varieties. Since I introduced honey bees in my yard, I noticed that actual number of wild native bees are increased (have no explanation to this). We also have native California plants garden. Honey bees are completely uninterested in native plants - they foraged in nearby community vegetable garden and blooming trees (pepper-tree, etc). So, we have honey bees and native species leaving next to each other. At least in urban environment, I do not see a competition. I do not know if parasites and diseases transferred to wild bees from EHBs. It seems to me that honey bees used non-native sources for foraging (mainly trees, eucalyptus, for instance) and there is a niche for wild species. Combination of the native plants, wild and honey bees creates very nice "close-to-nature" environment - we have bunch of birds, butterflies etc. Also, it looks like bees had some influence on squirrels - we have much less these days.

It's obvious that commercial operations and globalization were responsible for the spread of a multitude of Honeybee pests and pathogens across the U.S.

WLC.
Obvious? Or assumed so? As I experienced the spread of varroa mites across NY State back in the latter half of the 1980s I found it interesting how long it took for there to be nowhere in the State where Varroa could not be found. It took somewhere around five years from the first signs of Varroa, yes, in a commercial apiary/operation, to being widespread. Yet, nothing was obvious to me how that occured.

One can easily jump to the conclusion that it was thru commercial beekeepers bees in close proximity to noncommercials, or infested packages and queens, but, what about those apiaries which were geographically isolated wherein no new bees were brought in via packages or queens and were located far beyond flight distance from any commercial operations. Areas of Essex County,NY come to mind. Schroon Lake, Moriah, Mineville, those sorts of places where folks w/ a small handful of hives eventually also had varroa mites. How did they get them? No obvious way apparent to me.

How did varroa, shb, and nosema cerana get to the US? We closed the Borders, shut down importation of Queens from Europe, back in the early 20th Century to avoid thge Isle of Wight Disease, aka tracheal mites, only to have it show up in 1984. How did that happen?

One concern amongst Apiary Inspectors is that the new crop of beekeepers w/ Treatment Free/Hands Off/Bond Beekeeping in mind will be aloof to the knowledge of bees, bee diseases and pests, the identification of those pests and diseases, to the extent that they will become reposetorys of diseases and pests.

Smaller sized beekeeping operations have been found to have higher percentages of AFB. So, smaller sized operations managed by someone w/ the idea that bees should be allowed to build their own resistance to pests and to diseases too will, I predict, be where those diseases and pests will be found more often.

The greatest defence against bee pests and dieases is knowledge and experience, not philosophy. Gain the knowledge, then decide what your philosophy should be. Going into beekeeping w/ your mind made up about how things aught to be done before you know how things work is, in my opinion, not a good way of becoming a beekeeper.
 
#22 ·
I agree with Barry, and TFB hives only pose a risk depending on how high the mite pressure is. If they're maintained at a low level, I would say their risk is equal to treated hives unless they're getting 100% kill and general opinion is no one gets 100% kill.

The name is Bond.

Bond: Live and Let Die.

Those first colonies that die from mites and DWV, most certainly do have a very high mite and pathogen load.

Hives that have been treated for mites won't show anything like the DWV levels that you'll see in a treatment-free, Bond: Live and Let Die, colony.

Bombus terrestris and Bombus pascorum were described as "displaying wing deformities with 'infected Honeybees almost certainly the source of the infection (Genersch et al. 2006)" (de Miranda 2010).

Let's face the fact that we're seeing DWV, in our treatment-free hives, at a rate that isn't seen in a hive treated for mites.

It's a risk some can't seem to face.

Denial isn't just a river in Egypt. :)

Here's the Genersch paper:

This one shows RNA viruses in Hymenopteran pollinators:

Having read all the posts thus far, I'm not sure where to begin.
I restarted with bees in 2006 by purchasing treatment free bees. I have been treatment free since. My two best colonies this year produced 175 and 170 pounds of honey, treatment free. A couple of years ago I saw some dwv in one hive, but it disappeared by the end of the season. I have not seen more than a couple of bees in a couple of hives since then.

Treatment free does not mean leaving them alone. This year I practiced "Let alone beekeeping" which I remembered from the 1970's when Charles Koover espoused it in Gleanings in Bee Culture - some of you old timers might remember him. It was a serious mistake for me, and I wrote a thread elsewhere about that experience. I do not recommend it, and explained why there.

To blame treatment free beekeepers for the demise of native pollinators is wreckless and irresponsible. The pathogens were here before we went treatment free. The native pollinators will adapt and survive, or die off. In much the same way as my breeder provider lost 90%+ of his colonies when first hit, and bred the survivors, to develop his line of treatment free bees. I try to manage my hives to prevent swarming, but not too seriously. I don't mind swarms as it is my way to help introduce survivor bees into the feral populations. And what are you "treaters" doing to help the feral populations?

Treatment free beekeepers can be good or bad beekeepers, just like treating beekeepers can be good or bad. The treatment methodology alone does not determine the quality or competency of the beekeeper.

Steven

Steven
Actually Steven waht you say is true in one way, the way you meant it, but not true in a very significant other way. None of the bees, managed or feral were treated for varroa mites, tracheal mites, Small hive beetles, Nosema Ceranae prior to thier introduction into the US in the last 20 years or so. So in effect, treatment free was the way of beekeeping here in the "Golden age". Only with the artificial importation of theses pathogens did treatments become necessary. Consider, we are asking the US bee population to instantly (from an evolutionary standpoint) evolve resistance to at least 4 new pathogens at the same time. I suppose we could just call our bees invasive and let them die out as that is what nature really had in place here in the US prior to their introduction by man. If we introduce something into an ecosystem that was not there to start with, we should bear some responsibility to help them survive.

As a "Treater", I collect swarms, and do cut outs from basically "feral" populations. I do not treat these unless it becomes apparent that they will die out without help. I do not use those that do not perform well as grafting candidates. Survivability is the first rule in selection. How do I judge that? Colonies with lots of bees and lots of field force (larger honey crops) get selected. Why? Because it is those colonies that will likely propogate the species not a weak sruggling "resistant" hive. Does it cost me? Sure it does. I allow colonies to dwindle to a point prior to beginning treatment, so it costs field force, etc. which translates into lost harvest.

Several of the posters on treatment free have mentioned lack of swarming from their hives. This is not a desirable outcome. The strong should reproduce and that is what a swarm is. If your hives are not swarming then they are not adding to the feral population, except for drones. The chances of a colony that does not swarm having a lot of drones is not very high. I usually judge that a colony with a lot of drones is healthy and happy. With varroa, drones are favorites, so they are the first to fall in a hive that is overrun with varroa. So once again that struggling resistant hive is not adding much to the local feral population.

In closing I will ask these questions: Do you know of any beekeeper that would rather have to check for pathogens, access the hive against them, spend the money and time to treat for the maladies than to just place a hive and harvest honey?

I think we would all prefer to be back 30 years when that was possible. Do you?

"To blame treatment free beekeepers for the demise of native pollinators is wreckless and irresponsible."

Well, it's more like: if you go treatment-free, you are taking the risk of spreading pests and pathogens to native species.

I think that it's important enough to consider before making a commitment to go treatment-free.

If you had a chance to read the 'RNA Viruses in Hymenopteran Pollinators' paper in the link above, you would read that pollen seems to be the way that viruses can spread amongst native pollinators.

Pollinators apparently infect the pollen, and the pollen can then infect other pollinators.

When I began keeping bees, back in the mid-1960's, I was entirely 'open' to whatever worked best and worked for me. I usually bought into, and even purchased treatment products, Fumagillin and Terramycin (to name a few), but never actually found a need to use them (a waste of money). It's been a while since then, I have learned not to waste my money on 'treatments - cures - remedies'. I have rarely lost a colony for any reason, usually those I've lost were due to my own shortcomings. Though laying workers, developing in colonies that were queenless for too long, got weak, then robbed out is where most of my losses occur.

I've had AHB usurpation swarms take over several nucs and a few full-size hives, but this doesn't usually kill a colony, just makes it trickier to maintain EHB genetics.

I know there are Varroa present, and sometimes DWV, vectored by Varroa, or maybe not just Varroa. I sometimes see a colony or two affected by what I've heard called, PMS (parasitic mite syndrome). But that usually only persists for a month or so.

I use some foundationless, some PF120 or PF100 frames, some HSC frames, a few RiteCell foundations, and a few other frames/foundations.

I remember, as I was learning about the Small Cell theory and Dee Lusby, and being warned that if I didn't 'treat', my colonies would all die within two years, or maybe three. None ever did. I began to relax from the anxiety this created in me, and haven't regretted it, yet.

Maybe someday Varroa and other pests will become a problem for my bees and I. Maybe then I'll change my tactics and begin using some of the many treatments available to me (I doubt that HopGuard will be one - it was tested here in Arizona, but never registered/labeled for use here).

I often wonder why my experiences seem to be so different from many of my fellow beekeepers. But not enough that I lose any sleep over it.

--------------
WLC,
I think that the point is, treated or not, the pathogens/pests are there. If treating eliminated pathogens/pests, we'd only need to use them occasionally, because they'd eradicate the pest organisms. And, eliminating virus could only be accomplished if all the host organisms were also totally eliminated.

Treating honey bees will not stop them from sharing their pests. If it were that simple, it would work between honey bees, too. It doesn't.

While reading this thread so far I'm struck that the treatment/non-treatment debate is masking what I think is the real crux of the matter - responsible beekeeping.

Barry noted earlier in this thread that if one's hives develop an infectious disease you need to deal with it. And I absolutely agree.

That presupposes that the beekeeper will recognize AFB and have or know the resources for positively identifying it and dealing with it. With some new beekeepers (especially those who are starting on their own without local support) over whelmed by a mid summer populous hive, who knows what is going on in there?

So education is important. And not just about honey bees but about the role they fill in the environment and what other insects are filling that role too.

I had dismissed the Xerces Society as the lunatic fringe. Nevertheless, I saw a researcher I respect was going to be speaking at a Xerces talk, so I went. The big thing I got out of the talk was that alternative pollinators are here and doing what they do; my honey bees will benefit from cultural changes on my land as much as the already existing natural pollinators do.

Like not mowing my grass fields until after the first frost. They were primarily being mowed ahead of that for aesthetics not a crop so it wasn't as big a change as it might have been. Other things I've done that are beneficial to both my honey bees and native pollinators: plant tress (Apples and Linden) to provide additional food resources at specific times of the year, not eliminate "weeds" and other undesirables in my blueberry fields, again increasing food resources. Some things I've done just for the alternative pollinators - leave a few standing dead trees, leave a few patches of bare dirt in the blueberry fields instead of trying to recover them to grow blueberries on. I don't use any ag chemicals on the blueberries and my fields don't look anything like the well manicured derocked fields I see along the roadside. But no matter, I hope my fields are healthier. To go along with that hope I now need to learn to recognize blueberry pests/diseases as the last thing I want is for my well intentioned endeavors to harm someone making their living from berries.

In beekeeping, both treatment and treatment free, I don't think we can ever stop being open minded and learning about how our activities influence the surrounding environs. I know I have much to learn. Right now I'm working on how to get the bees to make and put surplus honey in the supers. What little honey there was in the supers this fall has been fed to light hives, along with an insane (to me) amount of sugar syrup.

I'm open to the question of am I running more hives than my area can support. In this as in lots of beekeeping issues, beekeeping is really local.

thank you andrew. this articulates better than i did the point i was trying to make.

i refused to sell a hive of bees this year to an individual who just wanted to park them on his property, and was not interested in managing them at all.

i remember my first summer with bees, and how overwhelmed i was in trying to work them, and how unsure i was about what was going on in there.

my concern is that it would be too easy for a beginner to adopt the 'hands off' approach, while at the same time thinking they were practicing cutting edge beekeeping.

in my view, not being open minded, and adopting an approach based more on philosophy than science, has with it the risks of spreading problems beyond one's yard.

for me, i hope i can learn skills to manage my hives in a way that allows my bees to thrive on their own. but i am not opposed to lending them a helping hand when it is indicated.

There always have bee beekeepers who don't look at their bees, ever. The one location I have seen this clearly with treated bees, there week several years of spontaneous strips still in the hive (with mites literally crawling on them). If someone is going to be irresponsible, better they are so without chemicals.

This was on one side of one of our locations...on the other side were hives with treated but visible afb and literally every other disease visible..the inspector had me go back and bring a comb to a club meeting because it was so bad.

Anyone claiming that untreated bees have high dwv. Have not inspected our hives.

Your Inspector had you get a frame of Foulbrood to take to a meeting? Does that mean your Apiary Inspector doesn't regulate AFB, enforcing the control and destruction of the disease? Were these hives you described abandonded hives? How is it that you have access to them? Why isn't the Apiary Inspector enforcing State Law?

How did you handle the frames you refer to? What did you do w/ them after the meeting?

Back when I started Apiary Inspection Apple Orchards commonly owned beehives for the pollination. They considered it less expensive to own hives which they threw packages into each Spring rather than pay for pollination service, which may have not been as dependable then as now, I don't know. But, many, if not most, of these Orchards didn't do a very good job at beekeeping and they were often found to be diseased w/ AFB. Next to negelected I would say.

Over time this was reecognized by Apairy Inspection and measures were taken to address the problem.
