>Did Tom replicate the same experiment in the south? If so, how many times?
Its actually worse than that, there was no information on hive size, when the swarms were collected or hives haves were started.
I read it as anecdotal, but seems I may be rare.
A package, vs a swarm, vs a nuc, start in may vs July? All huge factors in the issues. What killed the hives? Virus? Starvation? ETC.
