Somewhere I read that chalkbrood is a result of dampness. In my tests, increased ventilation appears to cure chalkbrood. Has anybody else found this? I put a question recently. Has anyone used Bee Boost in splits or nucs? I plan to try it this year, and was hoping to hear from someone who has experience with it. **************************************************** * David Eyre 9 Progress Drive, Unit 2, * * The Beeworks, Orillia, Ontario, L3V 6H1.* * [log in to unmask] 705-326-7171 * * http://www.muskoka.net/~beeworks * ****************************************************
