An item in the Irish Times today states thaat the Government has decided on
a policy of slaughtering the stocks to eracicate Varroa from this Island.
 
According to the paper about 100 hives belonging to some twelve beekeepers
are to be killed.
 
It is hoped that this will solve the problem.!!!!
 
From the information which i had recieved the original discovery was in two
colonies some fisteen miles apart, in one colony the mites were seen on the
backs of the bees and in the other deformed bees were noticed.
 
I beleive that both these symptoms are indicative of heavy infestations, and
the whole exercise smacks of shutting the stable door ........
