      It is always a treat to get together with Mike. You never know what he'll say or do next. His knowledge of bees makes him a good source to bounce off ideas. Have a great day.

    Been watching a swarm 75' up in an oak tree, my bees, swarmed yesterday, bivouacked overnight, watched them checking my swarm traps all morning. They just flew away...oh well. Thanks for sharing, peace

      Thanks Dave. I also use them for evaluating mites. I put some paper down on the bottom tray and after the OAV treatment see who many are dropping.

      I hear you brother! The multicolored fronts I think really helped returning queens. Always nice to hear from you. Blessings!

      Hoot :) We let them decide. They can have a population that the hive wants. Thanks Todd.
