Hello,
 
        My hives died last winter. I think it was the varroa mite even though
        I had put in the Apstan (sp) strips last fall. Is there any way to
        tell other than shipping the (dead) bees off to a lab?
 
        Do you know of any good mail order bee houses that will deliver to
        the Washington DC area and is there a way I stimulate a new hive
        enough that I could get a small honey crop this year?
 
        Please reply email to the address below.
 
        Thanks in advance.
