La abeja pequeña original es de 4,9mm - las hojillas que compramos aqui 5,4mm

Guess now we shall see what next will transfer over other then varroa in the
next few decades. In the 1950s/60s the varroa got a hold. Yet, it is similar
today to happenings of then when size was upped to 5.4mm from smaller and
someplace else had to be used to do it first. Those experiments of going to
larger
5.4mm were written in the Jubilee Apimondia edition with researchers of Europe
for being better then..........so is history to repeat itself again still
more detrimental to our poor honeybees? Also what about pollenation of
endangered
species of plants? Most all herbals and medicinal are small plants with small
blooms. How much of the bottom rung for interaction can be cut off and thrown
away until beekeepers say enough and come to their senses? Somehow this
doesn't seem right..............but will give us all here something to
watch...........
