Hey Folks,

With the major invasion of the SHB to this part of NC this year and if that
was triggered by last years warm winter we maybe in store for more SHB this
year giving the temps!

Here is a pic of a new SHB oil tray I got from Green Beehives.com. They sell
it complete or in kits and offer free instructions on how to make one
yourself if you'd like...that's cool!

This picture is just 24 hrs after installing it!! There is a bit of residue
from where I added dry pollen to the top bars. I'm using dry instead of
patties as a way to not feed and grow any more SHB!

Hope you consider it as part of your beekeeping practices. It's really taking
the stress off these girls.

Cheers,
Marty
