While checking our main hives for mites we found a virgin queen. Interesting one of the hives had a mite load of 1% while the other - the one with the two queens - was 7% and had to be treated with Formica acid. If all goes well we should have 6 hives when the ‘dust’ clears. #happybees #happybeekeeper #ultrieafarm (at Chemainus, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0KbQVWll-Q/?igshid=ihwqmq2rkkzu
