I had written from my perspective of a small hobbyist who only needs
to treat a few hives..
>I can't imaging ripping them apart in November to treat with OA
trickle.
Mike, do you assume they are all broodless? I check every hive for
broodlessness. I see variations in hives as to when they go
broodless.
Opening hives in November may seem a little crazy but the bees take
it all right and there is no harm. I am gentle when handling hives
and do it when temps are in the 40's or 50's F.
>>I'll know in a few weeks if this is actually working.
Please give feedback then. I'd be interested in your results.
