SHB samples

What are you looking for in the samples you collect??

What brand of alkehaul is in the sample bottle, and how big is the sample. may require several collection bottles you know!

Do they need to be caught without oil traps for your purposes? I know I have a few from checking the oil traps, but not so many that I can find them when searching in the hive for them.

 

Is that one of those "tequila things"? :drinks:

First cutout I do in the spring, I'll leave some pollen comb out for a few days and send you a few hundred larva and eggs. I don't have any this time of year, tho.

 

More like "that's what they told me the next day"

 

We could send you some live samples in a box with holes to let them out for you if you'd like... that way you'll have as many samples as you want for generations to come...

 

Ohh and while we are shipping you the SHB can we dust them in AFB spores, and Nosema --then you can truely get a idea on how resistant your bees really are ancing: :thumbsup:

 

Maybe even throw in a few cape bees... yup.

 

BJ says that's fine as long as you ship in Jan. Nothing survives in a Pa. Jan.

 

And while we are fulfilling your entire christmas wish, to help keep the SHB from being lonely, perhaps the Japanese would be so kind to donate a few dozen Japanese Giant Hornets Queens --now comes the real resistance test ehhh!!! :thumbsup: ( For delivery/ release in late April. )

 

Yeah, resistance from here, even. PA is too close to NC for that kind of talk. Cut it out!!!

 

I'll send you some, but it'll be springtime before I can get them.

 

The SHBs that i see are usually too fast to get a hold of. I may have some vials that I could give you Mike. They're glass. Do you want them? I don't need them and they are just taking up room in my office, gathering dust.
