[QUOTE="stoney, post: 2943, member: 34"] Ya gotta wonder.. im pretty sure that if you read the fine print on the packet several hundred times over .. even backwards.. you will never find it written anywhere that it is a magic bullet treatment that will correct all beekeeper error and instantly cure rotten twisted wings or parasitic mite syndrome or any other crippling virus spread by the creepy crawly mite.. late treatments, zero mite number monitoring and leaving in treatments too long or not long enough and also half dose treating are all operator error in my book. easy path to take is to assume the treatment.. however poorly delivered is to blame.. there are plenty of treatments at our fingertips, some very cost effective, some not, some extremely time consuming but it is up to the operator to decide which options work best and at least monitor the creeping mite.. to get a heads up before things slide beyond control.. how many even bother to do a few washes... not many I’d say. my 2c worth.
