A lady from Texas was at our last bee club meeting, She claimed to be treatment free, that all her bees are gentle, and does not keep bees for honey and most all her bees come through there winters.I ask if she was in a AHB area and she said very much so (she raises her own queens) i ask how she kept her virgin queens from AHB drones, and she said she floods her yards with her drones and has never had a problem with AHB? She gave a good talk and seemed to be very knowledgeable, She was in our area looking for land to put bees on. Jack
