[QUOTE="Trevor Gillbanks, post: 7080, member: 4"] Several questions. No, I don't think I am wasting money as the instructions are for Apivar/Apitraz is for 2 strips per brood box. Some people try to save money by undertreating. I do not have a chemical resistance problem with my bees. (I do alcohol washes to test for effectiveness). Under treating will give you resistance as the varroa gets a sublethal dose and then becomes immune to the chemical. I am not doubling up on the treatment level, I am following the manufactures advice. Others are under treating by using half the strips. There are plenty of others out there who will think I am talking rubbish, but as I said, I do alcohol washes to prove the effectiveness of my treatments. Before, during and after treatments. Over to you [/QUOTE]
