Our Blackberry here in NC are just getting leafs on them now . I have had one yard with a few swarms from it an my other yard has had nothing from it 🤞🤞🤞. Thanks Randall

Wow my Blackberry in SW WA is just starting to leaf, and I think I have seen 4 dandelions. It's kind of amazing to see the difference in Spring times in other parts of the country. Other place in the country are swarming like crazy atm. Have a great day Randall.

I might actually have to feed here in SE LA which I've never but once had to do down here. Late freeze really hurt us. Glad the Formic worked out for you. I think we're seeing that Formic in the south has it's place, just not in the summer after harvest.

[@randallcarter-carterhillho2277]

i agree, i am getting much more comfortable with using formic and the great benefit i see is that if for example if the efficacy is 70% now that means there will be 70% less mites in late july and august when i do summer treatment which makes that treatment easier to achieve the 0-1 in wash. I have great success in summer with reduced dosage apiguard over 3 weeks. i really learned alot from your trial with hopguard last summer as well. thank you for that.

29° here in northern Maine. I still have almost 3 feet of snow on the ground. It’s supposed to be in the high 40s tomorrow so hopefully I will get to see my bees

[@randallcarter-carterhillho2277]

Wow. I hope you get to see them tomorrow. We had cold rain here last 2 days with temps in low to mid 50'S.

[@dgoodhoney3000]

Sirdo, I hope the mite wash is negative and you can constrate on the surplus harvest. As for me I haven seen an varroa in any if my colonies and I'm looking for some of the liquid golden honey. Stay safe and healthy to do beekeeping tomorrow 👋.

Thank you.

I have the opposite problem. I have swarms everytime I turn around! 😩
