Hi Dee,

You stated that your field managment changed:

Nothing has changed much in what we do, though it is arranged in field
management a little bit differently, concerning the bees and supering. We
take honey the same

Exactly what do you do differently? I have no doubt that the cell size of
honey bees has been changed (larger) and the proper size should be 4.82 to 4.85. However 4.9 will work just as well since Dadant is producing it. You
said in an earlier post that one should select for black bees. How are those
of us that keep yellow bees to survive( David E., I keep carnies). What
about adapting to ones climate? When regressed are you saying that yellow
bees won't survive in northen climates? Italian bees are the most common
bee in the U.S. and Canada. How would an individual select yellow bees in
northern climates after regression? Need some clarification. Thanks.

Clay

Just thinking yellow bees have to make it too.
