[QUOTE="stoney, post: 7585, member: 34"] My advice for what it’s worth would be if you were going to try a new treatment for the first time to do so in the spring when the colony is in the growth phase. Much more forgiving during this phase for obvious reasons. I have again wintered over a couple hundred hives with ox, bees have come through very clean, but.. they hit autumn clean after ox goes in at harvest sometime in Jan. blindly adding ox to a colony following a summer with no treatment, at a time when colony population is in the declining phase could have dissapointment written all over it.
