Message: [QUOTE="addy1, post: 286808, member: 2547"] Which mite treatment did he use? We are using one that is totally safe for the bees. Oh yeah they will ball the new queen if there is one in the hive. We test the hive when we requeen, put the queen cage in and watch how the hive reacts to it. If there is a queen they will swarm the cage and hang on tight trying to get to her to kill her. If no queen they wander over and get to feeding her you can move them with your finger. The others are almost glued to the cage they hang on so tight. They love love my pond, always drinking from it. [/QUOTE]
