Last weekend I attempted the “sugar roll” method of testing for varroa mite infestation of my hives. After carefull rolling, shaking and peering under my microscope ….no mites were found. Today the official testeds for Agriquality are testing my hives using a miticide and stickyboards. We’ll see tomorrow.
On a sad note Leigh lost one of her favorite ducks. Saffron succumbed to old age yesterday. We’re all very sad as she was a good duck.
Excellent entries Scott! But no comment on the new blog site? I’m disappointed about that! <wink> I’m intregued by the exploding duck. What are the chances? Sorry to hear about Saffron. Our condolences to Leigh, I know they mean a lot to her!
