I greet you. i am from Moldova Republic. I do not know English. but I'm
studying many of the posts of Mr. Randy Oliver. some of them were applied
in our apiary (1000 bee families were working) and we have very good
results since we changed the methods of varroa treatments. we use Italian
sublimers. thank you very much Mr Randy Oliver for the work he is doing.
