Re: Minnie Royal and Royal Lee low-chill Cherry
My thoughts were to apply now since my bloom is over and when I have another bloom it would have levels low enough to not harm the bees.
There are some that believe a combination of things is causing CCD including the super breeding of the honey bee which is much larger than they originally were. Their larger size in some way makes them more suceptable to the V. mite. Another is the actual physical design of the modern hive. Bees kept in Top Bar Hives seem to be healthier. Again this is opinions I have read not experienced. It sounded good enough that I am considering a Top Bar Hive.
