100% survival rate . Even the "weakest" hives show strength.
My secret to success? OAV. I was certain that OAV would have some negative side effects, but that is clearly incorrect.
Just wanted to shout out to the band-heater vaporizer makers, thanking them for not having to mess around with expensive treatments. For less than $20 I can treat all my hives with high overwintering success, for the entire year. Honey is safe to eat, bees aren't harmed, no pesticides.
In fact, it was such a success that now I'm scrambling to try to find new apiary sites.
