Ok, Looks like I better rethink, Steve, what with the roach baits, how do you go about putting crushed roach bait into the brood or honey super. I thought I had the SHB under control, then I had to move my hive in a big hurry to about 40 kms out, with the rain pelting down the way it has over the last couple of months I was unable to check them out until a few days ago, the SHB were pretty thick, and with the rain still coming down and is expected to last for a month or two yet . The hives are fairly strong, but I will need to help the girls out, they still got plenty of tucker to munch on, but it the SHB that concerns me at the moment……What you say JP about being careful has been a bit of a concern , I will take your advice and stay away from the stuff. …… thanks for the reply…..Lek.
