[QUOTE="Stephen Horsley, post: 12729, member: 491"] To learn by your mistakes is cruel but a lesson you will not forget. I did do both spring and autum treatments but was advised to do another when the first hive had a lot of DW. That was when I didnt treat the other hive at the same time. Came back to bite me that one. I have frozen some of the frames which I was going to completely clean - Which I will still do. This would eradicate any varroa but not possible AFB contamination. Will get it all checked regardless. Start with everything cleaned. I also fear the hives were in a very damp spot - (with low numbers the mould and wax moth were moving in too) particularly with the weather we have been having in the Rodney area. I was in the process of migrating the hives to a sunnier location. Had to get them across a driveway which was going to be a challenge. Can now start in a better location. [/QUOTE]
