Bee gym

[snimmo243]

Hi Stuart if that's since I updated it yesterday colony 1 is up to 7 frames of brood and 9 of bees, this is in a 10 frames smith box converted to commercial. The population sizes should be on a separate tab. I've not had a chance yet to put the bee gym back k into no2 but will do at next inspection as I need to spend a bit of time looking at some issues in that colony

Sorry, I just saw your separate Tab. Interesting to see a fall in Varroa over a 6 week period in a strong colony that's building up. Do you have any other hives nearby?

Hi Stuart just the two colonies, although there are a lot of apiaries in the vicinity. The varroa trays have been out for a few weeks, doing another count this week then will probably take them out again

I was thinking you might have another hive that could act as some kind of control. I wonder what Varroa levels your neighbouring beekeepers have. I hope your next count is another low one.

The other colony has consistently shown a zero count except after oxalic
