[QUOTE="Amber88, post: 11877, member: 687"] Hi everyone, I'm a beginner hobbyist near rural Pukekohe, Ive got a top bar which I wasn't planning to use this season until I had had a season of beekeeping experience with my langstroth boxes first. Anyway my bees had other ideas and swarmed last month, the swarm split in two, (2 virgin Queens?) and I managed to rehome one into my top bar, Queen was mated and they now appear to be going great guns. I'm trying to do lots of reading up on tbh's but of course there is not a whole of info out there and I'm wanting to be prepared to make sure I do their first varroa treatment in the tbh successfully. How do others treat their tbh's with oxalic? I'm guessing strips are not going to be effective enough? Apologies for the novel and thanks for reading! Amber [/QUOTE]
