[QUOTE="Eeb Evih, post: 12731, member: 427"] I lost several hives in the first years back at beekeeping after a 40 year gap - there was no varroa and very little AFB. It sure a learning curve - the best investment is a scoop and shaker that you can do a test run - I use meths to drown the bees and skimp on numbers usually around 120-150 because I dislike killing 300 at a time and count the varroa and the bees to get a %.... still lost 1 of 4 but think it is location as I have lost the others there so no hive there next yea even though I got the most honey harvest from it [/QUOTE]
