>>...there is something kind of unique about you and your situation. We all know that you are one of a kind, Dee.
25 years is a long time. Arnold in Tennessee (www.arnoldhoneybeeservices.com/index.html) claims to have survivor Italians that he has not treated in 10 years. Has anyone used Arnold's queens??
To me 10 years without chems is as good as 25 years in a sense. Kirk Webster in New England has been doing well with his Russians, too.
I have no idea if Dee has African bees or not. I would like to see a video of Dee's hives in the middle or at the end of her main flow.
Are there any US beekeepers who successfully keep AHB and make a nice honey crop? And are there US beekeepers who have attempted to keep AHB but failed?
