She did it my increasing the amount of Hydrogen Peroxide, a natural occurring ingredient in honey, within the hive.  Who'd have thunk it?

Did she mix Hydrogen Peroxide with honey for the beetles to eat?Did she spray the comb ? Is it bad for the bees ? Do you make it to where only the beetles can get to it ? It would be nice if you could just spray everything with it.

 well that hasn't come out yet but she is being question by bee lab people I would bet, as soon as the how and technique come out it should be posted.

Very, VERY interesting.... I know that peroxide is good for a multitude of things. I use it to sterilize vegetables by soaking them in water in the sink, with about 1/2 cup peroxide added. Lettuce lasts SO much longer when cleansed this way. It crisps up and doesn't get that awful slime - it lasts several times longer when rinsed with peroxide-water and shaken out then refrigerated.

Tidbit about Hydrogen Peroxide, H2O2: It is not 'toxic'. It is actually a volatile liquid. It has an extra oxygen molecule that wants to break off and attach to a carbon molecule. Just like Ozone, which is O3 -- they are both used as a antimicrobials. When that extra oxygen molecule breaks away and attaches to a carbon molecule on a germ, it makes the single-celled organism (germ) rupture. One byproduct of this interaction is CO2 gas (carbon dioxide), which is why peroxide bubbles when it is working.

It's great stuff!

I keep it in a spray-bottle on my kitchen sink.

Try pouring it on shower-caulking mold or in between tiles on moldy grout, and watch it foam!!

I have always poured peroxide over our toothbrushes every so often but it neveroccured to me to use it for anything else. Thanks.

You know, I got to wondering.... if her method is THAT good... wouldn't the larger companies try to shut her up and shut the idea down??? That seriously crossed my mind. She figured out something really good, it made the news, the info got out (or parts of it), then a big company pays her for the 'idea' telling her they will fully research it, and to keep it under wraps....

.....do you see where I'm going with this?

Hydrogen Peroxide is dirt cheap. Imagine what it would do to big business!!! :-X

the video was about a young girl in high school did a study in her back yard, honey has natural Hydrogen Peroxide in it, some how she increased the level of Hydrogen Peroxide in the honey and when SHB's eat it they die. this was some kind of a national science contest and she won.
