Phillipe is claiming that the Blenheim bees exhibit VSH now - "they smell varroa infested cells, uncap them and remove the larvae". He omitted to say how this has been seen in bees nesting in ancient oak trees, however.

He's obviously been on the Christmas blow again
 
Blenheim’s 400-acre estate, that is less than one square mile :)
" The Estate consists of 12000 acres of land and 2000 acres within the Park. " ... Rural
still dont believe these bees are anything special... happy to be proved wrong though... ;) 🐝

Bees follow the borders of the estate. That is special.

Hmm
I had one of them 'master' beekeepers let me know in no uncertain terms last month that he's a very rrespected and talented beekeeper :icon_204-2: :icon_204-2: that's what being a vogon does to you I suppose.


If anyone needs to tell me they are a very respected and talented beekeeper then they have a a talent for comedy and are wasted at beekeeping.

They make entertainment business with bees.

Many others make " end of the world entertainment" business.

No - they were talking about Phellipe (when I questioned his 'expertise') but yeah, your statement applies as well, and I know a few others who feel compelled to advertise the fact as well.
Maybe the BBKA should 'award' them two little badges when they 'qualify';
One for their beesuit
And one for their pyjamas! :icon_204-2:
