I thought I saw here that studies showed small cell foundation did
not solve the varroa issue. However the current Kelley newsletter says:
>In 1997 the USDA did a study on the 4.9mm bees and confirmed that
>small cell bees do have fewer mites.
So I have an obvious question. Is small cell, and the trouble
migrating bees to smaller cells, worth it at all? I have a new class
of the Indiana Beekeeping School coming up on January 28, and I'd like to know.
