UBeeO™ is a groundbreaking new tool designed to accurately predict a colony’s ability to self-manage mites and disease through hygienic behavior – a vital aspect of colony health. What is hygienic behavior? Brood stressed by mites, viruses, or other diseases emit special pheromones through the wax cap.

2023年12月12日 · UBeeO Kit and pricing: The UBeeO Kit comes with everything you need to test 10 colonies including the UBeeO applicator, testing supplies, and two 5-test UBeeO vials (each vial tests 5 colonies). If you would like to test more than 10 colonies, you can order additional 5-test or 10-test UBeeO vials.

Here is video footage of the initial UBeeO trial at Stevens Bee Co, in Bloomfield, MO, with Dr Kaira Wagoner of @Optera (June 2023) UBeeO is a new advanced hygienic test that selects for...

The UBeeO Testing Kit Comes with everything you need to test up to 10 colonies including: UBeeO™ test ring (IMPROVED!) UBeeO™ precision guide (NEW!) Testing more than 10 colonies? Add on 5-test UBeeO™ vials or 10-test UBeeO™ vials to your order. Please note that shipping to Hawaii and Alaska is currently unavailable.

Log the T0 and T2 capped cell counts for all of your test colonies and automatically calculate the UBeeO™ Score using the UBeeO™ Score Sheet Calculator. Save this data sheet along with your T0/T2 photos to a hard drive to track progress over many seasons.

2024年7月1日 · UbeeO is a groundbreaking new tool designed to rapidly and accurately measure a honey bee colony’s level of varroa resistance. Researched and developed over a decade by Dr Kaira Wagoner at Optera in North Carolina, USA, through her PhD and post-doctoral work, UbeeO just launched in the United States in spring 2024.

UBeeO is a liquid formula that mimics the natural pheromones emitted from unhealthy brood within the hive (so called, ‘unhealthy brood odor’, or UBO). UBeeO can predict a colony’s ability to resist Varroa mites and other diseases through hygienic behavior.

2024年1月17日 · Dates, times, numbers tested, results from each, etc.? Phoebe will have some Q ‘n’ A sessions here on Beesource which will hopefully provide some guidance. Vela will be one of our first testers, then Charles.

know for sure what we have and how good they are. Not all hygienic behavior by bees is equal, mean-ing that bees respond to diferent stimuli, which. brings about difer-ent results from that behavior. It is possible to identify colonies that can remove dead brood (whether frozen or infected with AFB), but that do.
