    Death of Analogue

    I was in Birmingham Central exchange from 3rd year apprenticeship. It was a mixed 2000, pre2000 24hour rota with about 25 staff. Went to TXE4 with about 12 staff and then system x which was visited occasionally.

    Your advice, opinions and comments would be very much appreciated.

    A new swarm is the very best time to treat for varroa. If there is sealed brood you've left it too late. As for the Bee Gym I fully support JB with his succinct reply.
