Hi to all on BEE-L

By the way, there is nothing confusing in stating that in
Africa smaller cells and smaller bees in do not reduce
mites, which seems to cast doubt on this being a main
factor.

There is nothing confusing in stating that the Lusbys have
so many variables going on that no one (not even them) can
say what is the main factor in their reduction of mite
counts.

It is based on honeybee field management on a "wholebee
concept" and not doing field management by soundbites in
bits and pieces.

Further, the bees are always here to come and see for
yourself, and take wax samples for residues, and
varroa/trachael count samples, and/or any secondary disease
sampling also.
