[QUOTE="tristan, post: 11765, member: 30"] that approach i think is best. get enough spread around the hive quite quickly and get a good varroa knockdown. then have enough released to continue to kill over a long time period. but the catch is one material type might release fast at the start but not be able to release enough constantly later on. not necessarily so. i suspect the staples already act like that. the wetter mix gives it high spread ability which should give a quick knock down. despite carboard being slow to release and releases very little mix. but also you could do a two stage strip. for eg randy oliver tested cotton pads which seam to release a lot of the dry 1:1 mix and have high mite drop very quickly. no reason you can't have two different strips at the same time, one fast release one slow.
