Checking in from Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. Kev and I are fourth year sideliners with 50-odd hives, heading for 1-200. While we've got some good contacts and knowledge base here, I like to have an ear on other countries who've been dealing with various challenges longer than we have - we've had Varroa for ten years, so interesting to watch the American experience. We don't have SHB here, but I watch Australia and America to get some idea of what would be entailed when it does arrive. So for all you who do post, thanks.
