I am not an organic beek myself, but I strongly support
their efforts. Unfortunately, they are not immune to
epidemics.

Reply:
Good when you visit them, report back on any controls used
by them, though being organic, they shouldn't be using any;
as this could be a part of the cause of the problems they
are now having, as some organic seem to think that soft
treatments are okay to use, which to me they are not, hence
could be a reason for outbreaks of various diseases/pest
problems over the long-haul. Would be very interesting to
me for comparing notes. and probably very interesting to
others also, then comparing.
