Hi Lisa & all,
I have not had any problem raising OMB's along with honeybees- except the
Varroa finally got my _Apis_ and I have to install some packages soon.
_Osmia_, fortunately, is not a host of Varroa or tracheals. They have
their own, unique problems but nothing as devastating as traditional
beekeepers must deal with.
Bee of Good Cheer,
