But, all of them but one are already dead, didn't live one year. Of course,
I will begin again but now I am a year behind in the trial. And so it goes.
Be more of an optimist, you could say your 2 years ahead! They didn't wait
till late in the 2nd year to fail.
Interestingly enough I got my APHIS report today on mites (after pesticides)
my oldest "survivor hive" which was 3 deeps. Had a 6.8 % infestation. It
died shortly thereafter.
It was a 2nd year survivor which had generated huge amounts of honey the
first year, and was a Feral hive.
As the old Indian in Josey wales movie said "we shale endeavor to
persevere"
And keep plodding
