The bee lady keeps stressing, "if they're gonna go, let'em go." Don't coddle them or medicate them. Keep them healthy. There's no sense in keeping them medicated so they can carry their problems to flowers and pass them to other people's hives who aren't medicating.
Hopefully you have good luck this time around, Guy. I keep wondering how many times I will replace my own before I give up. Luckily I'm one stubborn old goat.
