[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 11793, member: 13"] The information is now out that here in NZ our mites are developing resistance to Bayvarol, with (from memory), 10 to 20 times as much active ingredient needed to achieve the same effect as when the product was first released. Most commercials have already noticed this from results in their own hives, and have become reliant ever more and sometimes exclusively on Apivar. Question being, what would happen if or when Apivar fails. Well, in Canada it has happened. Entire commercial beekeeping operations are being wiped out and at this time the beekeepers have no answer.
