Hey all,
On a November day, the 5th to be exact, I decided to take advantage of a very warm day in NEO Ohio and get some work done with the colonies. The VarroxSan strips have been in close to 40 days, so I decided to remove them and do a few Mite washes. Boy was I surprised by the results of my washes and also the brood that I found.
Let me know your thoughts.

Below are Links to some of the Equipment and Products that I use in the Apiary at Castle Hives. Look no further than Rob at Lorob Bees for your Vaporizer, amazing customer service and product. Suiting up for an Inspection, toss on an AWESOME vented jacket from Terry at Guardian Bee Apparel. Looking for a supplement, try Hive Alive. The number 1 rated supplement. Use code BRIAN10 to get 10% off HiveAlive supplement and HiveAlive fondant. Looking for an Insulated Hive, look no further than Apimaye.
