[/COLOR] I've not had this problem with Swienty poly National and my bees love propolis.:hairpull:

Thanks for that, I hadn't noticed.

Milllet, If you have OSR that close your bees will find it. Don't worry to mutch about getting it off, just be ready for it. A bigger problem is that the crop will probably be sprayed for pests and then with a desicant. If you know (and get on with the farmer) ask them to let you know when...

In short...no. I had something very similar years ago but only used it for cappings. P.S. Mine had all the same safety features as PH, except for R.C.D device.

:iagree: Hello and welcome. I hope your boxes are not too little.

Hi and welcome.

:welcome: hi,are you "London" Essex or "country" Essex.

If your bees have no brood (look from bellow?) you could trickle O.A now. O.A. sublimation requires kit that can be a faff to make/expensive to buy. All varoa treatments work better/faster when the bees are broodless. especially sealed brood.

Poor quality wood (i.e. under-seasoned) can also cause boxes too pull themselves apart. No need to paint/preserve inner surface of boxes. I can't link yet but, youtube.com/watch?v=f5UUJT8ooVE[/url]

Thank you. A very good video with good commentary, picture quality and editing. p.s. Nice line in beesuites.:)

Thank you. I'm still learning how to work all the buttons to post and reply. and relearn typing.

Hello from Essex. I have had bees for some years now (Just about pre-varroa era). I am, however, new to using internet fora and the like.
