[QUOTE="stoney, post: 4340, member: 34"] Great post [USER=73]@Otto[/USER] and bang on the money, also I agree, we have all posted the details of OX treatment experiences and experiments as we were trying them in real time so no need to re post them all again. getting it right with staples takes time and experience but once you have figured out the details it can be so effective it makes it frustrating to hear of other beekeepers having mite issues again and again. synthetic treatments twice a year with the “rise and fall, rise and fall” mite cycle doesn’t exist with this method and constant lower numbers effectively flattening the population growth curve and keeping it there... where it should be.. suppressed. Not everyone wants to keep their fingers on the pulse and I understand that, do anything long enough and the passion can wear off and fade into a monotonous blur.. for those I’d say carry on.. as you were. If there’s still a bit of fiz left in the sting why not explore some fresh options, you may be surprised. [/QUOTE]
