[QUOTE="James, post: 2919, member: 212"] Hmmm ..... went through a yard of 48 this arvo ...... it was kinda weird because there was'nt a lot of honey onboard ....hired man commented that was'nt I content with what was in the shed already ..... to which I replied that I was'nt toooo worried about the lack of honey, but it was the bigger picture, when most other yards are heavy with honey, a lack of it points to something else. The strips have been in for a month or so, but I was still seeing wingless bees and dead hives. We have been using Apivar this autumn, so still have a way to go before we pull them. I like the sound of large bee losses up North ...... it might pump the nuc market in the spring or the sale of live hives mid winter . 🥶 ❄️ The other thought I had was that perhaps with a low honey price people are under treating ......
