Hi Roger & All, > Always keep in mind that Lusby said that small cells was only about one third of this approach to combating Varroa - the other two being breeding and proper nutrition. > Breeding, in my opinion, is something that I think that all beekeeper should take part in. As far as nutrition, I think that Honey & Pollen is proper, I do not mean honey dew. The nutrient of water is a whole different subject but also I think the source being very important. . ..
