Actually, that is my next move.

Hopefully we won't have to wait for next year.  I have four days drop 
history
on ten hives and I intend to do sugar shakes (Minnesota style) and then
alcohol washes on the same hives.

I doubt that this will result in an epiphany for Randy, but I need to 
know, and it
will take time.

I am getting old and everything seems to be harder and take
longer.  This whole bee thing is seriously screwing up my life.  I'm 
retired and
I should be on a cruise somewhere or chilling at my cottage or tubing the
Sacandaga with Aaron (highly recommended -- write him) , but bees are
fascinating and I am addicted.  I have too many hives and too much honey,
too many options, and too little time and I am not at all sorry.

Bob, I think you understand.
