[QUOTE="John B, post: 9800, member: 207"] We have only had a bit over 100 but it has still killed the flow dead. Apparently some areas are still yielding but everywhere I have been lately the robbing has been intense and needed careful management. Varoa is really starting to show up as well and I'm glad I only have two small yards left to treat. Re-queened 32 hives this morning and only missed one Queen which wasn't too bad and I did find two queens next to each other and another hive. One was a beautiful young Queen and the other one had a walking stick. Using two day cells today. More than happy to have all my hives down to 2 stories at the moment. It makes them easier for the bees to defend from wasps which will be turning up anytime soon and the chances of a late flow now are far lower than the chances of varoa damage from leaving the hives untreated too long.
