Hello All, I thank Barry for his honest update on his project. All I was looking for was a update. The small cell discussion seemed to have a life of its own and now Bill has given it a new life! I truthfully walk a middle road in the small cell debate. Small cell has seemed rational enough and the auguments for by Barry and others have been convincing. The amount of work involved plus expense of changing comb has made me to look to other ways of non chemical varroa control but still like to keep a eye on the reports coming from the small cell camp. I applaud Dee & Ed Lusby, Barry Birkey, John Sewel (IBL) and others for trying to resolve the small cell question. I believe if you are trying to only use IPM methods then you have to consider using small cell. Sincerely, Bob Harrison Odessa, Missouri Ps. Before we trash the small cell encampment what things are each of us doing to prepare for the days when varroa is totally uneffected by our chemicals (should the day happen)?
