  Hello,Bob! First time to contact you,although Iam watching your work,with great interest and admiration.Iam sending this from Athens Greece,and here we are not familiar with the Fahrenheit scale,so every time you give a temperature I Google it to convert it to Celsius!I just saw that you were sublimate with 40 f(4,4c) that’s cold and the bees cluster, I was wandering is it something you see effective? Wishing you all the very best for the new year,health,prosperity,and good luck in everything you do for the years to come. Tino, from Athens Greece a fellow beekeeper!

  I agree, the second round of OAV is important.  If the treatment gets 75%, on a 7% colony, first time will knock down 5.5%, second time will knock down 1.3%.

  Beautiful Video Bob , mine didn&apos;t go into broodless period, my bees will struggle varroa, but I thought that POL line meant polygenic cause they are monitored by those 16 genes that heritate resistance to mites .<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Thanks to the Video , appreciate your all knowledge 👍

  They look great. <br>Beekeeping in the southern US is a whole lot different from beekeeping in MN.

  Nice to see hives being opened while ours are under half a foot of snow!

  I’m interested to see how the POL line production compares to the darker lines this summer. Winter clusters look very similar to the NWC genetics that I run.

  I had those Pol Lines as well. Man, they are good type of bees. They like to reproduce like there&apos;s no tomorrow. I like to see my colonies full of bees; their color is beautiful.

  By November, our hives are wrapped up for 5 months. <br>Somewhere between then and mid March, the itch to start working bees infects us, not sure when exactly. Seeing you open hives in December confirms it’s later than now. 😂
