[QUOTE="The Frasers, post: 11804, member: 170"] A few years ago as noobs we made strips from tree-binding tape as a vehicle for oxalic, and saw a reduction in mite numbers in the two hives we kept back then. Bringing the idea to the Forum got us a less than encouraging reaction, and we were advised to go back to something that actually worked (patent remedies) We asked then if someone with experience that had been involved in the discussion would care to run a proper trial and disprove the effectiveness of binding-tape, but the that wasn't to be. Tristan, this might be worth a try as part of your experiment. The remainder of the roll we have measures 50mmx1mm thick, is woven plant fibre, and we hung it like the patent remedies as strips down into the brood, by toothpicks pushed through the top edge. Nothing "grew" under the strips, and they didn't get chewed by the girls either. We generally left them in place for a month in November and again in January, but then, we were noobs! Would you consider giving this a crack? [/QUOTE]
