Peter,
Here....seeing the situation first hand means a lot. It is
not what you seem to think. Also the queens are not that
bad either, though they do superceed usually within the
year. But nowadays, with coumaphos and other treatments so
do many queens. But the main thing is the bees handled the
situation, and no hive contamination is involved. Also it
is written in archives as being known in all races. Cannot
go natural beekeeping by the way without knowing what
natural beekeeping is.......and involves.
