<<I have some combs that are probably 30-40 years old,>>
 
I can appreciate these combs as a renewable resource,
but 30 to 40 year old combs have only had a few years
of Apistan building up in them.
 
What can we expect from older combs in the future?
I am told the Apistan build up in wax is a problem.
Could this build up be contributing to the resistance
of mites to Apistan?
 
 
And BTW, thanks to those who responded to the feral bee
thread.Your insite is very much appreciated.
