Why is it so difficult to get a smoker started but you often find it still
producing a steady stream of smoke the next morning!

Just visited 100 hives, 18 or so dead ones, made 40 splits, great strength
despite the cold Northeastern winter we just had, some have attributed it to
the early application of medication,placed in earlt August, and all had a
third deep super and many were in it fully having exhausted the bottom two in
many cases. That is my report for this spring of 2003, very encouraging.
