[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 12542, member: 13"] Back in February / March at honey harvest I put bayvarol in most of the hives to get rid of some getting close to expiry. Last week went around to pull strips and check and found some hives it has worked, most hives had some mites and PMS, and a few hives were badly infested. So last week went though all the hives and re treated with Apivar even though it's only 3 months to the next treatment. My prediction across the country is there will be big losses this winter. Some of the traditional treatments are not working as well, plus some folks will be turning more to alternative treatments for the first time and lack of experience / knowledge with those treatments will take it's toll.
