[QUOTE="John B, post: 13253, member: 207"] I have been loath to try new methods of varoa control but conventional treatments are no longer keeping my hives alive so I have been giving fogging a try. I gave the hives four treatments Five days apart in January and three treatments five days apart in March. The first of the March treatments was after recording and only a few days after the new Queens should have been laying. I did a full check on everything today and they looked remarkably healthy and there was only one queenless hive out of 40. I did an alcohol wash on two separate hives which I know isn't much but I hate killing the bees. Zero varoa which is pretty pleasing. I will probably give them another couple of fogs in late April and perhaps one in the middle of winter. I am really interested in what other people are doing with this product and how they are getting on. The treatment is quick to do and extremely cheap but does involve a lot of visits. So far I have not combined other jobs with treatment but I assume it is possible to do so. Still early days but so far I am really impressed. [/QUOTE]
