Joe Waggle and Bob Harrison:
Bob, was it you that stated your bees are on 5.2 sizing or
so? If so, he should be able to make 5.0 or better the
first season.
Reply:
Yes, but remember here Bob Harrison said he was only using
25 lbs of SC with only "2" frames in each of about "80"
colonies and with remaining combs bigger, this is not a
true experiment for the varroa will equalize out over all
the cells, thus the SC cells will help take the pressure
off the bigger cells/combs. For Bob to do it right to
actually see, he would have to actually do a broodnest
conversion like you have Joe, and from what he has said he
is not....and Bob being so experienced, should really know
this to begin with.
Regards,
Dee
