I believe Dee was referring to your honey and pollen stores. My question
for you is how many brood chambers do you over winter in? Have you tried
using three deep (I believe David Eyre uses three up there)? As far is
varroa is concerned "there coming I promise you". I would consider having a
plan before they get there. Regressing to small cell size could be done
slowly by you. The rest of us don't have that luxury. I suggest you act not
react. As then it will be to late. Do what think is best.
