Gonna get bees within the next year. I just want a few (3-4 max) hives. I read this guy's book and he says that if you use this hive and don't fuck with the bees if you don't have to, then they will be very resistant to mites and take care of themselves.
Has anyone had experience with this? Location would be southwest Idaho, whereas I think he lives in like western russia or some shit.
