Eric (Dani), Eric and Enrico. Got it 👌😄 Hi all 👋👋

Lol ah, hi Dani 👋

So, Apivar, abit rubbish? Is it OAV all the way in terms of preventing / treating varroa?

Hi Brenda, good advice 👍

Hi Eric 👋

No. Isn't there a smell off EFB as well? There isn't any smell here.

Yes that's the sunlight

Thanks for the helpful replies everyone. Really appreciate it.

Thanks Eric. We had put in an apivar into both hives middle of August. Didn't suspect varroa for that reason. The hive was queenless for a good while and I had thought lack of nurse bees reason for dry larvae, coupled with suspected poor queen mating during bad weather the problem has just...

Thanks for heads up Enrico. Any budget ones you would recommend?

Oh dear 😟. Thanks for feedback. Will get in touch with SBI.
