Message: <blockquote data-quote="John B" data-source="post: 6350" data-attributes="member: 207">It's been quite noticeable in my hives this spring that hives that are weaker than normal for whatever reason have more varoa per bee .This could be cause-and-effect but it seems to me that were hives are boosting away in the spring they are actually at least for a little while out breeding the varoa while hives with dud Queen's et cetera just end up with more and more varoa and fewer bees. I am an absolute believer in treating every hive at the same time. This is by far the best method to keep hives healthy in the short-term but of course in the long-term we are not selecting our survivors.</blockquote>
