[QUOTE="James, post: 12466, member: 212"] We have used O/A strips with great success for the last few years . We work the application of them into our normal routine as we get around the hives every three weeks. Some get chewed out, some don't, so we generally add another two to keep things topped up. Then as we super up we give them a final knock down with a shop cloth placed below the queen excluder to carry them through the flow with low mite numbers. Late summer mite testing has been interesting. The majority of the yards have zero to three mites in a meth wash. Some of the exceptional yards have upto 20. Autumn treatement this year has been Apivar . So yes, with O/A you have to be continually adding and monitoring , but thats just part of being a responsible Beekeeper, right? We have some nice looking hives going into winter. [/QUOTE]
