Over the years varroa threshold keeps getting lower and lower. Viruses are getting bigger and meaner. Much more lethal. As beekeepers work ing our apiaries how do we handle this? What practices can we do to improve things? This year I had my first bout with black queen cell virus. I'm concerned. Obviously varroa needs to be controlled. But these viruses are in the background in our hives waiting for the right conditions to manifest symptoms. As beekeeper s I feel we are sweeping the seriousness of this under the rug. Seriously how do we handle this in an actual working apiary?
