Hello Bob, can you tell me if your bees are still fine in july? I have SAD bees (Stress Accelerated Decline) in a control hive (a hive no treated with vaseline and thymol). It is a higyenic hive, no doubt, (early in the morning you can observe dead pupa at entrance, later is removed), drones larva have not many varroa (five varroas in a frozen drone frame of layens), and I have harvested 20 kg of early spring honey. But I have observed that this hive is not harvesting pollen, it is harvesting nectar, only nectar, other hives are working eucaliptus pollen. I think that collapse is near (despite high population). I´m going to split (thymol works better in nucleos), add a pair of capped brood with nurses, and finish with this "bee inmune deficiency". By the way, I have read that inbreeding does not produce perfect bees, the larva is eaten by the nurses bees before six days old.

Because of the way Garden Web works, posts with no replies stay at the top of the queue for a long time. Therefore, one and only one reply is needed to cause the spam to sink down the queue. Each and every subsequent reply brings it back to the top of queue, above everything but the posts that have not yet been replied to. Please don't add your comments after the first forum member posts a reply. When you do, you are only helping the spammer. Thank you.

Just a question before you reset... Prompted by this thread: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/comphelp/msg1217510723913.html Did you happen to do the "image block" mentioned by Zep516 in this post? If so, you'll have to undo that because the new "Preview" button used for replying is no longer an "HTML button", but an image. So if you're blocking images from "graphics.gardenweb.com", you won't see the new yellow/gold "Preview" button. If that doesn't apply to you, the reset function is found under "Help>Troubleshooting Infomation". Edit: This reply is kinda obsolete now because the "Preview" button is no longer an image, but an actual HTML button once again. :) This post was edited by chuggerguy on Mon, Mar 24, 14 at 10:46

That is weird! It is the same way for me... no place to post a reply! I agree with you Patti about not being happy if the phone rang at 6:30 am. My BIL sometimes calls for my DH very early.. then I'm awake for the rest of the day. I don't usually get up till 8:00 and I'm one of those people who don't function well if I don't get my sleep.
