[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1808383, member: 42782"] There is a honeybee parasite that has spread all over the world from Asian honeybees, the Varroa mite. If you were a peson sized bee it would be like a flat tick stuck on you the size of a dinner plate. They multiply on bee larvae and eventually kill the hive, usually in the winter. Its spread to wild bees too. That is what has reduced the population of honeybees. To keep bees alive and be successful keepers have to monitor mite counts and treat each hive with a sort of No Pest Strip (remember those?) twice a year. Yesterday I did find two tiny tomatoes while giving toothbrush vibrations to the flowers of 14 plants. [/QUOTE]
