>>> Thanks for the (unfortunate) info. I also had several sidebar email exchanges and learned that they can overwinter in compost piles (didn't read that in my research on-line), which are very common around here (including on my own land not far from the apiary) and that they can easily expand from apiary to apiary.<<
When I checked online, everything I went through at some point said to freeze (frames, pollen patties). Does anyone know if freezing the patties before putting them out will actually work to kill eggs?
