Hello all,
I was just wondering -- has anyone out there noticed marked changes in
their hives' agressive behavior when the bees are infected with
T-mites ? One of my hives has a very heavy infestation of T-mites, and
boy, is she nasty!!! Had to break down and buy a bee-suit just for
this hive. Last time I really worked it, I combed about 300 stingers
from my canvas gloves. And anyone who uses canvas gloves with nasty
hives, knows I've now bought a pair of leather ones.....And yes, a new
queen in in place.
Anyway, I would really be interested in any observations. Thanks.
Mike
