An interesting article in the Guardian this past week reports exciting news about a beekeeper from Swindon who has bred varroa resistant "cleaner" bees. Here's hoping the research proves successful. The following link should take you there. My bees gulping up syrup (with fumidilB) at a good rate of knots just now and I'm using Apiguard with good effect. All the best, Neil.
