>To me CCD is a myth and only a word now used *today*to describe a dead hive. And that is why this will be only a short reply >I am still waiting for Dave to show me some research showing vitamin C is poison to virus (using Dave's own words from his post). No-one is paying me for research, this post (and previous) are out of the "goodness of my heart", actually for your bees sake more than you >antibiotics do not work with virus and neither does vitamin C! 1st statement true, 2nd false (large doses required) >Number ONE is varroa control. Get those blood suckers out of the hive and most virus issues will go away. Unfortunatly while most virus are short-lived (out of host) ccd is NOT. Others have remarked this, years old deadout boxes restarting the whole nightmare.
