[QUOTE="James, post: 6896, member: 212"] Been out on the traps today ...... Disease check, feed check, and apply O/A strips. The last round three weeks ago I just pop4d the lids and pumped syrup if the bees were alive. Delving into them today was .... good ..... I was surpised how strong they were, double broods pumping with brood and bees, fresh honey dew shaking from the frames, and evry so often varroa in the drone brood between the boxes. The varroa seems to be quite early.... We are using the overboard strips from Hivemind this year. They stink, and also they seem to have absorbed a lot more of the O/A than the gib tape staples ...... I am cautiously optimistic that it might be quite a good season. [/QUOTE]
