[QUOTE="John B, post: 5633, member: 207"] I wasn't going to look in any hives for another couple of weeks but it was such a beautiful day today I weakened and checked three hives at home. Two were bounding away with heaps of brood in fact one had some drone brood and no visible signs of varoa. Doesn't mean there wasn't any of course just not enough to show damage. The other hive was not quite so hot with one bee with deformed wings and I saw the odd varoa on bees which means there are quite a few there. It would probably survive until I was planning to put in strips in a couple of weeks but I gave it some anyway and a sticky board just to see how bad it was. I want a few hives with some mites in around home anyway as I want to try some alternative treatments soon. Beautiful big frames of brood for this time of year with plenty of fresh pollen coming in..
