[QUOTE="Josh, post: 11764, member: 16"] I think OA will become part of the solution. I have 4 hives with the Randy Oliver formula Swedish cloths. All hives treated with conventional spring treatments. Highest varroa count prior to OA was 4/300 and lowest zero. That was about 6 weeks after treatment came out. I run double 3/4 brood boxes. Immediate impressions… no issues, some chewing. No idea if bees walk on them really (can’t see when the hives closed), but they are dirty and bees are on when I split the boxes. No avoided comb like I saw with the strips previously used. No weird queen laying habits like strips. One queen failure, but I’m pretty sure that’s a coincidence. They were previously trying to swarm even before strips went in and was behaving very weird. Mite counts yet to be rechecked, but will keep you posted. If you want. Very easy to make, store & use.
