I was going to rant about OA, I'll spare you All methods are not equal, read, study & judge for yourself Now a update on the lack of larvae 1.5 d later,w/ extra strong reading glasses, in 4/5 nucs I see no larvae older than 1.5d, most 1d & <, plenty doubles (2-3%), plenty of large "puddles" (>5%?) One nuc no larvae So why did the older larvae die? Formic? Nurse failure? Infection in egg, or royal jelly? So all my planned experiments fall down, no easy way to judge success or failure, no sure control Almost no STR to be seen dave ****************************************************** * Full guidelines for BEE-L posting are at: * * http://www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l/guidelines.htm * ******************************************************
