Is this true?
Are Neonicotinoids used in Aust or Greece?

March 6:  8"/20cm snow left.  All hives alive, look good, 1 gram fed or will be fed(Friday)
I expected 40% winter kill, not zero
I don't think my VD control last  fall was better than "fair"
(formic 2-3 weeks late, snow canceled 3rd OA(v))

So indeed there is something that can be done about ccd,
2 somethings (VD control, Vitamin C)

Watch the rear legs!
