Here in ireland NUIG Galway are carrying out research on tolerance to Varroa in Irish honey bees. Any way I am contributing to the research and carrying out the sugar shaker test for Varroa it would appear I am below the threashold for treating. So I have taken an executive decision not to treat, My bigger problem will I live to regret this decision has anyone else decided not to treat in the past and regretted it or is anyone not going to treat this year. I have heard from other bee keepers first hand that they also have low threashold and are indecisive as to wheather to threat or not, I have also heard from Bee keepers who have high varrora count and they are treating as we speak.
