I am beekeeper since childhood. I have 30 LR and 6 DB hives and 10 modified alpine hives. I am living in Banja Luka (Bosnia & Herzegovina), where working as a professor of information technology and beekeeping is my hobby.

Thanks for starting this thread. It is nice to hear from you and others in your part of the world.
What are you doing about mites and nosema? What is the common treatment for these where you live?
Translate pozdrav please?

For mites we often use formic acid and Apiguard.
For nosema there is one good biological drug from our famous beekeepers Vojo Brstina, and sometimes I use povidon jod http://www.drugs.com/international/povidon-jod.html
