[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 6343, member: 13"] Found one today. Got to the site and a hive is being robbed. Opened it, there was an orange sized patch of very PMS brood and a few bees trying to hold the fort. Almost all honey stolen, and 4 bayvarol strips in it. I realised that last autumn when I went around and removed the bayvarol, if it hadn't worked I replaced with apivar. This hive I must have missed cos it still had 4 bayvarol strips in it, I hadn't re treated it. All the mites in it were being transferred to the other hives. Anyhow they all got treated today so hopefully that will make things right. The PMS hive was not saveable I put the broodbox mites and all onto the broodbox of another hive along with treatment, so hopefully it can be re split in a month or two. It went onto the hive that was clearly the main robber. Very active at the entrance and had new stores in amongst the brood. I figured it already got a lot of the mites so it may as well get the rest :rolleyes:. [/QUOTE]

What type of honey is New Zealand famous for?
