[QUOTE="John B, post: 5964, member: 207"] I am halfway through my spring round. I started a week early because everyone has scared me with talk of hungry hives and varoa. So far the hives have come through quite a bit heavier than normal and I have seen a little bit of varoa but only two hives with visible symptoms. Losses so far are five queenless, one drone layer and two killed by wasps which isn't too bad out of 180 hives. Shame about the wasps. There was no sign of them in the autumn or I would have treated with vespex., I suspect it was a pretty small nest in the autumn. All the hives in the apiary were knocked around and a bit weak. The nest was only 10 m from the hives and won't be troubling the bees again. [/QUOTE]
