G'Day Mark and John, yes I'm still following your adventures over here just north of Coeur d' Alene, Idaho in the USA. Any new developments on swarms caught using those "well seasoned" boxes? Mark, it's always a high point in my week when I get a chance to see you two in your every day work with the girls. Any new developments on "the miseries" that have now hit Down Under? New treatments of some sort to onset of the AFB and the mites? Just waiting now until another episode bubbles to the surface. Joe S - ID and AK
I've seen it for sale as "Formic Pro" along with a whole bunch of other treatments. The mites are still somewhat contained within NSW for now but it will probably be less than 2 years before they are pretty much everywhere. So people should be able to start treating as soon as they show up.

MBC is Marks Bee Company
Hey Mark, Burnett Bee-keeping Supplies sell starter strip's. Save cutting up full sheets of foundation. Good people to deal with .
The older equipment is always better for catching swarms. Use it until it falls apart.
I assumed Mark's Bee Company, but it's even better that it doesn't mean anything.
