Hey Glock, sorry not trying to take over your thread, let us know how the mite drop goes after fogging. I have...

Hello, I'm trying to locate fresh local honey for someone in the Chesapeake area. They have a little boy who has an allergy problem and would like to try some local honey, thanks in advance.

I have to agree with you, maybe others don't mind having cocoons in there comb honey,I Know I don,t like it. I also will not use thin foundation for comb honey,I think bees make the best foundation...
