Allen:
Benson's, in Metcalfe 20 mi S of Ottawa
~5.18, using vernier & reading glasses
the hex is most irregular (5.20, 5.18, 5.14)
Wires stick out, cursing results
(Pierco I think is 5.3+)
All of my frames are marked (I hope I'm not lying)
In the brood boxes only, are 6 of 5.2 in the center
>The logic is prolly OK. The assumptions are generally where theories go
wrong IMO.ARS has a free program called VarroaPop
For Win?
Just trying to figure out why OA(v) works so well,
almost too well. Remember I'm a northern BK
so fewer brood cycles
I didn't think winter was coming, but in Jan
it has been worthwhile plugging in the heaters
since it almost has reached -30c twice
Maybe 5-6d use (makes me feel less foolish)
