[QUOTE="Earthboy, post: 2353"] Hi, I am in America and would love to plant Lavender but am having difficult to cultivate it due to different soil composition. But I practice treatment free beekeeping by capturing feral bees mostly so that my stock is resistant to both mites and Small Hive Beetles. It's good to see you working chestnut, acacia, and lavender, among others. What is the number one challenge in your operation? Just wondering. Earthboy Have you had any OA-resistant mites? If that happens, what are you planning to use next? I like your broodless period method. Your seasonal flow seems to very much like ours in Oklahoma, USA. Usually our flow starts with acacia (psuedo robinia acacia known in America as black locust) which blooms around the end of the first week in April. Nectar flow continues till the end of June, very short, unless you have alfalfa fields or Vitex trees like I do. >>>this due to the pressure of pharmaceutic firms lobbying. No matter where you keep your bees, the big pharma wants to monopolizes their profit and I am sick of it. [/QUOTE]
