European papers on the small hive beatle (which has fortunately not
arrived in Europe yet) say that one means of fighting agains the beatle
is to have a high population of bees on the combs. As far as I see, the
density of bees on small cells is higher than on normal combs. Has anyone
in the states where the SHB is a problem gained experience on this topic?
Could the small cells with smaller bees be a good weapon agains the beatle?
