Try reading my post again Bob--I thought that I explained it clearly! I'm
as loathe to waste money as you are.
I'm not buying nor introducing new stock, except as occasional drone
mothers. Rather, I breed each year from my most productive colonies--hardly
a new concept. Of those most productive colonies, I choose about 25 that
have the lowest mite levels to graft from.
