Purely a hobbyist, currently with four hives. I'd like to expand but I'm
suffering from lack of time at the moment. I've had bees for five years, with
more downs than ups; at the moment I have one hive which is booming, one which
is stagnating, and two splits. The strong hive is on small cell, the others
are  on a promiscuous mix of sizes. I'm holding off on routine varroa treatment
and  trying to monitor what's actually going on in the hives; at the very
least I  need to understand the dynamics of infestation better.
