Curious about how? I know there are reports of AHB in Fla and they do well.

Plus, chemicals is the wrong word. Pesticides and antibiotics would be
better. My bees (and I) ingest chemicals daily and do fine. The
chemicals include water, honey (a veritable stew of chemicals), complex
carbohydrates (pollen), even air (oxygen).

Pesticides would include essential oils, FGMO, thymol, oxalic, formic
(the list is large) and not just Apistan and cumophose. (Nature also
manufactures pesticides. Ever eaten brocolli? )
