19th August - Made some ekes for Apiguard

Used a bit of softwood and knocked together some ekes so I can treat for varroa. I plan on uniting hive 1 (queenless) with the nuc I hived recently. This unite will be tomorrow and the combined colony plus hives 2 and 3 are all 14 x 12 with omf bases. These will all get Apiguard at the weekend plus hive 4 (bait hive with standard brood frames) will get Apilife-var as the bait hive is bottom bee space and does not easily permit using ekes. It will be interesting to observe the difference in results of the treatments.
