I have, as you may or may not know, two colonies of honeybees. One, which shall be named the blue colony, used to be a lot stronger than the other, which shall be named the red colony; within a really short time, however, the red colony not only caught up with the blue but actually surpassed them. These days, they're more than twice as strong as the blue bunch.

However, both colonies appear to carry roughly the same amount of varroa mites, or so the Gemüllanalyse suggests (I have no idea what it is called in English. [livejournal.com profile] enismirdal, help?)...

Well, that certainly explains a lot. It is also a fucking pest, if you'll excuse my Middle English. Do I get formic acid at the local pharmacy, or will I have to go to the outskirts of Cologne again...?

Im Imkereibedarf kostet ein ganzer Liter von dem Zeugs allerdings nur knappe 5 €... ;)

Dann hoffe ich dass du die Milben so schnell wie möglich los wirst!

Das ist lieb! Leider kriegt man sie wohl für gewöhnlich zwar dezimiert, aber nie ganz los. Mistviecher, mistige.
