My small cell hives were surrounded by hives that migrated from CA almonds. Two semiloads were dropped within 2 miles.
And up to 400 hives would be placed around my small cell yard on about a 1/2 mile spacing. Yet, my small cell hives thrived without treatment, even when hives surrounding mine were collapsing from varroa.
Have you run a study to see what kind of mite drop you get on your small cell hives? Or what kind of mite load they are sustaining?
