Much the same for the other three. I rejoice at the deaths, but my heart sinks at the truth that lies behind the numbers - my colonies carry signifcant levels of Varroa despite the autumn treatment. Are the mites increasingly resistant or is the treatment decreasing in efficacy? Two sides of the same coin. I can flip the coin but it's bad for my bees whichever side it lands on.
