[QUOTE="James, post: 9670, member: 212"] Whats happening....... we used O/A all spring in the form of the grey carboard strips from Hive world , and then as we supered up we placed a shop cloth under the queen excluder. It was all quite time consuming and one had to be observant that some hives chewed through the staples quickly, and some seemed to last for ever. But they had the desired effect. The bees have made us a crop ..... so the O/A had the desired effect. We've done a couple of Meth washes over the last few days and have mite counts in the region of 4 - 8 per sample...... and are now putting in four strips of Bayvarol per single brood box. Last autumn we used Apivar, which I prefer as it is easier to put in and apparantly has a longer knock down period, ..... so we have rotated chemical use quite effectively. [/QUOTE]
