Hi Allen and bee-l'ers I have been following closely your OA experiment, and the subsequent comments. Unfortunatelly I have been full time concentrating on this stupid challenge of trying to change the fact of pollen as an ingredient of honey after the EU Court desition. Actually I am at Berlin at the moment after an International Seminar about the fact. http://www.jki.bund.de/no_cache/de/startseite/aktuelles/veranstaltungen/veranstaltung-detail/Termine/international-workshop-on-the-consequences-of-the-ecj-judgement-on-gm-pollen-in-honey-for-gm-crop-re.html Well, in short I think it will be interesting for me and I bet for you, to risk at least on of your hives and follow Medhat suggestion of a finishing treatment. If I where you I will do that on hive number 3. Juanse Barros J. APIZUR S.A.
