Treating Mites with Formic Pro (20 day) Part 1 | Beekeeping | Honey Bees

This is the 20 day treatment method where you use one pad for 10 days, and then a second pad for the following 10 days. This is great when you’re worried you might lose a queen by using the full treatment of two pads for 14 days.

I use Apivar and OAV to treat the hives. The two hives of Saskatraz bees are in single 10 frame deeps. They carry the highest mite counts and drops of all the other hives put together. I think I will requeen them next year with Bee Weaver queens and see how they do. Thanks.

I'm planning on doing the same thing soon but I’m not sure how I should store the unused patty while waiting for the second application 10 days later — How are you storing the unused patty?
