George,
It was only one hive. I did not have the problem when I started with
them but since I allow them to open mate and grow my own, I am sure the
one hive picked up new genetic background.

I bought the original ones from Strachen Apiaries in California. They
were good, but the decendents were better.

The over propolized hive is not longer with us.

Always good to hear from you.
