[QUOTE="Fizzbizz, post: 6093, member: 451"] We're in Marlborough and have also had our worst year of deadouts in 22 year2 of beekeeping. We used Bayvarol after the honey was taken off and some hives got acid cloths instead, as an experiment. The cloths worked well initially, with fat healthy hives to winter down. We noticed a lot of varroa still in the strip treated hives and wondered about a failed batch of strips? Any other thoughts or evidence out there on that? Several other local beeks have mentioned the same situ. Last month we found a lot of deadouts or small clusters surviving, but many with good feed still on, unrobbed. We reduced the live hives down to single box hives, reshuffled frames, added new cloths and hoped for the best next visits. [/QUOTE]

What type of honey is New Zealand famous for?
