A little bit of everything - hive inspection observations, reports on research, confernece news, an idea for sequestering drones for monitoring and in the local hive report a summary of mite counts.

For years now I have been studying the varroa mite dynamic and feel like the industry is missing the obvious, the varroa relationship with the drones. Sampling is flawed, and now with some emerging research, I believe new options will emerge.

It has been a while since our last recording and in this episode I catch up on things that have occurred since last connecting, and also reflect on the here and now - ending with a catch-up Local Hive Report
