Mmm. Don't think we'll be seeing these at the fair any time soon.... The good news is that I didn't see any mites on them this time. Three weeks ago, almost every larva I saw had a mite on it. Ick! Hopefully the drone trapping is working in addition to the powdered sugar. I need to do a mite count again for comparison by the end of the month.
Drone frame. The empty cells were full of nectar. It was dripping all over the place. Wish I could have pulled it earlier in the day before they filled it up! It's in the freezer now to kill the mites. This is the second frame I've pulled out this season.
