[QUOTE="AdamD, post: 6066, member: 173"] In the UK about 15 years ago people were getting complacent about varroa treatment - stuff in a couple of strips of Apistan or Bayvarol and that was it. However varroa became resistant, so a lot of colonies died as a result so many beekeepers moved to thymol based treatments as a result. (Apilife Var and Apiguard). Amitraz treatments were not licensed at the time. If you have seen varroa after treatment, then it's fair to say that varroa is the cause of the demise and not electrickery. Clusters could be due to varroa spreading between hives due to drifting bees or colonies robbing out a failing colony nearby and bringing varroa home with them. [/QUOTE]
