Has there been a study done to see if the 14 day (2 strips) or 20 day (1 strip ten days apart) treatment is more effective? I am thinking that if both durations are equal, it might be better to use the 20 day because you are only putting one strip in the hive at a time, therefore maybe not so hard on the brood and queen.

The store I bought this from told me if I place two strips on top of my second brood chamber it will work just as well for the 14 days instead of placing them between the two brood chambers

Can this be used on days where it goes below 50 during night times? Or is above 50f all day? Tyia.

I did a formic pro treatment (2pads) on July 4 for 14 days like the instructions say but now what I am wondering is when can I use the other two pads? 30 days later? 60 days later? My mites are still a little bit higher than I'd like. Thx.

Why does it say on the UK version that honey supers must be removed during treatment???

[Doneabc]

This was recommended as organic treatment. The warning labels are frightening and not indicative to organic IMo

[sebhuebel]

Why is feeding during treatment not recommended?

I am having a lot of wasps lingering around my hives. I have traps out and the wasps seem to be going for the dying bees that have been booted out of the hinge (?)... wondering if treatment is too much at this time. With the wasps lingering and threatening. Don’t want to doubly stress them out. Any insight I’d appreciate. Thank you!

Dosage for small, medium and large hives (single box, double box and Nucs)?

[janemartin]

I live in NH and currently we are in the summer dearth. How do I use these strips and stop robbers as the hive has to be fully open

[Beeklydan]

Do I remove it from the wax paper when I apply the strip?

Hi, I'm from Russian, Urals region, i have 20 bees family's and now around from 25 June to 10 august we have major honey collection time. So my question: i have used gel acid 85% 30 gr. And i need used acid 4 times during one month, for killig varroa. I afraid about quality honey because maybe this acid can accumulated in honey. I dond find some experimental data about it. Thanks before) I have need to search information in international levels i mean non-russian language. What do you think about using in major honey collection time?

Is there a chance that my Queen May be damaged?

[stefanlemko]

This chemical killed my bees very slowly. Going back to vaporizer.

[donduchene]

Treated as prescribed and had a lot of dead bees around the entrance on day two of treatment, really hoping queen was unaffected have to wait 12 more days before digging into the hives to see if they are queen right, really think i'll switch to oxalic acid treatments. Why does it kill bees? Very unhappy and pissed about the die off.
