Hi Frank,

I've tried just about all the commercially available selections in the US
on small cell. When on small cell comb they all easily handled the mites.
They all overwintered great on the new small cell comb. I think it's a
combination of cell size and the uncontaminated wax.

No other special management techniques are required to run bees on small
cell.

Regards
Dennis
