So I was wondering if was weather or genetics the cause of failure reported
by our Colombian colleages. I probably blame genetics (absconding behaviour
of AHB) and package quality (old bees).
Just curious, why this focus on package bees rather than nucs? Having brood present goes a long way toward stabilizing the colonies, of course.
