Dr. Y. S. Kim (Yoon) was using feral survivors on large cell combs and failed
but refused to use the same type feral survivors on small cell combs. If he had
his results may have been different. Joe Waggle in Pennsylvania is using feral
bees in his area with greater success on small cells than other strains on small
cells without treatments. I can name other beekeepers doing good with feral bees
on small cell combs as well. Just because you say "Those
> beekeepers working with survivor queens see absolutely zero benefit in small
> cell." does not mean that those beekeepers even tried small cell combs. What
exactly do you mean by what you said here?
