This article is an update of our experience of Treatment Free beekeeping.

11 Years of Treatment Free Beekeeping by Clive & Shan Hudson as published in Welsh Beekeeper 206, Winter 2019.

“Varroa Has Lost its Sting – Our Experience of Treatment Free Beekeeping”

Presentation given at Welsh Beekeepers’ Convention at the Royal Welsh Showground, Builth Wells on 30th March 2019 to an audience of approximately 165. This presentation is similar to that given at the BIBBA Confernce 2018, but differs in two main aspects:

1. given from the ‘Our Experience’ rather than the ‘My Experience’ viewpoint to emphasise the Treatment Free (TF) approach being taken by many beekeepers as well as ourselves.
2. includes updated data and map of TF Beekeepers in North-West Wales.

Following the presentation, I was joined by Joe and Chris Ibbertson for a lively Q&A session.

Presentation given at BIBBA Conference 6th – 9th September 2018, Royal Agricultural University, Cirencester. Following the presentation, and after being joined by Joe and Chris Ibbertson, there was time for a Q&A. The audience of around 60 indicated by a show of hands that approximately half were already beekeeping Treatment Free.
