Thanks for your recap of the last few years of beekeeping-and all the
comments by others.
I sure agree that in my experience, deep shade and moisture are harmful to
bees and greatly decrease productivity in extreme conditions. -this is also
true with controlling SHB. I remember reading a study in ABJ a couple years
back about hives in shade vs sun... the hives in the sun were more
productive and to the best of my memory even the mite leveles were lower.
