Bees have disappeared!

Mine are doing great thank you, after using Randy Oliver’s oxalic acid sponge method for Varroa control. :blush: It isn’t totally legal yet everywhere, but it is totally safe. The US EPA is working with him on getting it properly approved - shouldn’t be too long now. So your choice, but if you are willing to try it, you may be able to cross Varroa off your list of culprits:

We have one weak hive with a queen that has never laid well, but they made it through the winter and are building up now. We will probably boost her with a package and a queen replacement. Such is the role of a livestock manager - keep monitoring and do what you have to do for low performance…

:blush:
