There is a very good chance you lost the hive due to Trachae mites, not Varro, did you treat with Menthol in the fall?
Check out the Pink pages by George Imirie, a Master Beekeeper...

slightly off topic, I was purchasing hive hardware and the owner asked if I was anywhere near a dairy farm. I said 'no, why'
and he said that bees love dairy cow food 'Cattle Chow'?

Thanks for your opinions. Just suffering from 'Hive Anxiety' I guess

Just purchased my first 2 hives and have assembled them. Now, when I paint the outsides, does that include the top/bottom edges where the boxes rest on each other?
