While I agree and do the same, I question the validity. Somewhere I read
that chalkbrood is a result of dampness. In my tests, increased ventilation
appears to cure chalkbrood. Has anybody else found this?
I put a question recently. Has anyone used Bee Boost in splits or
nucs? I plan to try it this year, and was hoping to hear from someone who
has experience with it.
