Thanks guys appreciate the feedback, had good results with apiguard so it's good news on the pocket book since I bought way more than enough last year, and for my bees since it seemed to work good,...

I live where it is very hot all year long which keeps the mite levels down significantly when it hits 120, and I usually only have to treat once a year in the fall like I did last year. I have a lot...

KQ6AR: this was in San Diego I guess that's the policy and the fees for getting a permit are outrageous, makes it not worth it to sell. Luckily I don't live there but I was wanting to go there...

I've always heard that a cross breed between AHB and another bee were meaner and that the orginal AHB weren't even that mean. I think there was an article in ABJ several months ago.

You never know, I've seen dumber answers solve problems before.

Most likely not the case in this situtation but if your smoker is to hot it will burn the wings off the bees.

Will just having SBB without anything sticky underneath still get rid of some of the dropped mites?

I pledge to BSA that I will act as a mentor to scouts if BSA reinstates the Bekeeping Merit Badge.

I think I've seen ads before where they just sell the packaged bees without the queen so you can put/make your own from your stock. Might want to look for something like that, it may save you a...
