[QUOTE="stoney, post: 4325, member: 34"] Plenty of players up and down the country are experimenting with it in various forms majority of which I would say fairly successfully and there are literally hundreds of pages of shared information from some of those players in the ox / gl thread on the old platform. i think the mentality of only 2 alternating synthetic treatments per season with very little if any monitoring done is a bit backwards to be honest. it may have worked for the last how ever many yrs but the evidence is beginning to stack up that it’s simply not good enough now, choices are to either stand still while scratching your head and carry on as before while slowly being consumed by varroa destructor or think outside the box just a little... switch on the brain and maybe even be open to try out fresh ideas like something organic as an in between treatment for example. hundreds of others are trying just that and I cant say if they are being successful or not but I can say in my own experience running more than two treatments while timing them well works very well for me. the roses are there - ya just gotta sniff them [/QUOTE]
