[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 3777, member: 13"] Nice site, but - 9 hives? I thought 50 or 100 or so would give a better statistical sample. Anyhow, I will honour my committment to send you a jar of the best honey in the west if I lose this wager, and it will be interesting to hear your thoughts on the matter afterwards. I do suspect that with just 9 healthy hives you are likely to get 100% survival. However it will be interesting to see what you feel about other aspects of it, in terms of proneness to being robbed, extra work involved, affect on spring swarminess, etc.. (y) [/QUOTE]
