real way to be successful is a clean spring start.

It's good to see others coming to the same conclusion.  In my own operation, I learned this some years ago.  My modeling confirmed the reason.


 As you know, I have spent a bit of time following they logic in the spreadsheet,  as my previous job experience has taught me,  its only good if the logic is sound.  There are a couple of things I am not 100%  with or understanding yet,  BUT  it does very well show the problems that we have actually seen in the field.  Failed treatments and misunderstandings about how something should work become clear if you look close.

Many of us were throwing on a treatment and then agahast when it seemingly didn’t work as we thought it should.  This sheet has helped highlight some of the reasons why.   
It also 100% fabulous for modeling the hive growth if you do things right!
