I have noticed one of my colonies has deformed wing virus. I have deliberatly left this hive to its own devices and not united it with any other colonies this autumn. Does any one know of away to to irradicate the virus. Im using open mesh floors. I suspect this colony may die out which is a shame. Its getting weaker as queen has not laid for a couple of months. would requeening earlier in August have made a difference? what experience has any one else had of this virus. I have several colonies so can take a loss.
