[QUOTE="Fieldbee (Mary), post: 4324, member: 41"] Phil is great to deal with, very helpful with advice. Have argued with him a few times when I thought he was wrong then had to admit he was right. Fast response in getting strips to us even when I am at fault and should have ordered ahead of time, bucket loads of staples will arrive in 2-3 days. We continue to use them very happily. I do believe that best practice in ones operation is a a learnt thing. Things like pollination versus no pollination, number of other beeks and who they are within close proximity too, all have an effect on the end result . In another thread I said that our losses to varroa were higher than normal for us this season. 8% in autumn to varroa and 2% queen issues. I am taking an educated guess that our problems stem from us missing an extra round of treatment in some of the hives at the end of spring. We thought they were ok (no alcohol washes so a guess, that we would now say was wrong). We do pollination and have increased our focus on treatments, our main focus for next season will be thymol cords and oxalic staples [/QUOTE]
