[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 12248, member: 13"] Just thought I would put some info out there about Bayvarol now it is becoming regarded as less reliable. Couple of seasons ago I had a big fail with bayvarol, a lot of hives it didn't work and I had to go around and re treat with apivar. However I was left with around 7 grands worth of bayvarol, too much to throw away so took advice from Tristan and others here and waited a while and then try it again. So I used it in hives this autumn and just done some checking today. Very pleased with the results :). I did not run any mite tests, but any PMS that was starting to show in a few hives when I placed the treatment has cleared up and all hives were looking good. No hives showed any signs of mites at all, so I'm confident this treatment will be a success. Looks like it will work if you give the hives a rest from it for a while. [/QUOTE]
