Heard tonight from a reliable source that SHB has been found again in Italy in the same area as the last outbreak
The SHB was discovered about 3 weeks ago
I don't know if it was found in 8 colonies or 8 Apairy sites
It looks like the plan to eradicate the SHB last time was not successful

A couple of weeks ago it was only 2 sites. Now it is up to 9, not so good.

Hmmnn. At that rate of recurrence they'll never eliminate it. Did they stop inspections and just re-start them recently? Those detections will likely be against the background of beekeepers trying hard to eliminate it themselves, fearing the torching of their stocks.
I think that's a foregone conclusion, but maybe they'll be able to contain it for a while?
Smoking fine Hemp eh!

Its those darned Beatles that got me started
bales of pine shaving are my fav. for smokers £7 for 20/25kg
The problem with pine shavings is the amount of tar they produce. I've found the nicest smelling one is larch but it is very resinous - hence very tarry.
True, I burn mine out at the end of almost every full load so I've never really noticed.
