Ruth, that was a very interesting post...great idea to use the observation hive, thanks.
Snippet:
>4. Keeping the viruses out in the first place is way, way better than treating afterwards. If your hive survives, it may take a full year to purge >the viruses, if they ever get fully purged.
Given the situations in the UK and the island of Gottland in Sweden, where beekeepers felt they had bred Varroa-proof bees only to find, on closer analysis, that what they had selected for was benign virus infected Varroa, is anyone working on infected Varroa with benign-to-bee virus loads and releasing them into bee colonies?
