For those of you who don't use chemicals to treat your hives, what do you use to keep pests and diseases away?
To control the mites I went with resistant varieties of bees, pure blooded Russians from Revis Russians out of NC.
I am also going to try two each, 3 pound packages of Minnesota Hygienics from Orr Bee Supply this April.
Some people say that the Russians are meaner and would not have them, but I don't find them any worse than the Italians that we had on the farm, 40 something years ago.
