vaporizering

[Ammerbee]

I was told it's a good idea to vap 3 times after Christmas (once very five days) even tough I did the job 3 times in the autumn and just before Christmas - does this sound right?

It all depends if you still have brood in there, if it is bloodless one blast should be enough, i am having trouble with Varroa at the moment so i suspect late brood but it has me puzzled as there is no wax cappings on the inspection tray, i was going to stop vaping after the last assault but i might keep going till i see none.

P.s i done mine four times in Autumn 5 days apart and i'm still getting large loads dropping now.

oh right - in the autumn I didn't see much - maybe 12...mine is a new hive (I got them in august) with just 11 frames...I guess it won't do no harm to do another couple?
