[QUOTE="John B, post: 11802, member: 207"] All power to those that can use alternative treatments and get away with it. I have tried many times and cannot get them to work consistently. I also had almost total resistance to bayvarol several years ago.I may try it again this year although I guess everyone around me has still been using it so they are probably Been breeding resistance. In the old days most of us would have worked together but given that most of us hate a fair percentage of other beekeepers guts and for good reason nothing is going to happen and it will continue to get worse every year. The effects of varoa are continuing to evolve and change and just when we think we understand it we get caught with our pants down. I freely admit to having made mistakes and to also have misinterpreted what has happened to other beekeepers with their hive losses as PBB and then a year or two later finding exactly the same problem in my own hives. May you live in interesting times. [/QUOTE]
