plantcollector said:@gardengoober I'm just curious to know what you will do with the varroa mites we were told we have to treat in order to keep the mites down in the spring. I don't want to have to use chemicals either I've always hated using chemicals on anything and they said that powdered sugar doesn't work.


Sorry for the delayed response. We just got back from your neck of the woods! Smiling

Actually, we don't treat. We let the bees do their thing. If we start seeing evidence of mites, then we'll figure out what to do. So far though, both of our hives are very strong! Crossing Fingers!
