Being the basically lazy person that I am, it hit me the other day that
maybe instead of driving all over the country to sample bees from hives,
that the answer is right in front of me!
The bees on the windows of my hot room are a random sample from all over my
outfit.
Can anyone think of a good reason that they should not be used?
If there is any acarine anywhere, it should show up there, I think, but
what about varroa - which is getting closer and closer, I hear.
And (part B) how many should I have sampled by slicing, and by rolling?
(They will have come from 1500 hives more or less.)
Comments and advice will be much appreciated.
