Well at least I stirred some discussion on anti-varroa floors. Nice to see
others agreeing with ventilation though.
        I am just trying to absorb a whole wack of data from a variety of
sources regarding a variety of anti-varroa floors and at first look seems
to be very promising, but as Aaron says perhaps not the siver bullet.
Still my major concern is easy access to ants which seem to plague
my yards. Still no discussion towards a scatter type of prevention. No
comment on 'Comet'?
