[QUOTE="tristan, post: 10159, member: 30"] the boys noticed a lot of failure in queens, most of which are all the new ones. we believe that the cause is the queen supplier failed to keep mites down in their queen raisers. also had one site absolutely hammered by mites and chief suspect is the neighbouring beek (who might still be on here) who tends to play with organic mite treatments. tho i would not be surprised if there is not some semi nearby who has walked away from their hives. one thing i've been hearing for the last few years is people playing with oxalic acid treatments and failing. which of course means mites go pouring into everyone else's hives. a lot more people seam to be jumping on the oxalic bandwagon without running trails first.
