I guess that is another regional thing. We've been pretty lucky here in Ks. Haven't really seen much ccd around here. Also a hive can go quite a while with mites giving us a good chance to save them.

other than this one dan, have you had good results with hopguard?
The jury is still out. I've had three early season deadouts....and all three were treated with hopguard. Having said that, all had two treatments only....and those were about two weeks apart....so I'm not blaming hg. On the other hand I can't say I'm overly impressed.Quote:

I always seem have a few unintentional Bonds in my yards.Quote:

I haven't either. The 'my bees disappeared' is often confused with absconds but is actually a mite driven collapse.Quote:
