Lloyd>Next we'd shake the bees to the bottom of the cage and then
immerse for a count of 10. We'd then pour the bees into the nuc, release
the queen on top of the pile of wet bees, and move on.
Wow! I know bees have control of their spiracles and can close them for a time and obviously holding them closed the count of ten is within their capability. Opens up some possibilities for thinking of how to dunk a package for varroa treatment. Any suggestions?
