The most amazing report is from a well respected commercial beekeeper >here in WNY. He has kept bees since 1968 and runs over 1000 col. He has >worked as an Inspector and knows dieases well. Last spring he put two new >Apstan strips in each col., in March, took them out in June. He surveyed >his operation in Sept. and found very low varroa counts. He made an above >average crop. He saw nothing unusual last fall. >He lost 80% with PMS symtoms. What are the PMS symptoms?
