[QUOTE="tristan, post: 12917, member: 30"] i'm not sure either. would like to test it but thats not that easy. need a dry location, rig half the hives with humidifiers and do randy olivers acid testing method. thats a major undertaking especially having to build and use a portable makeshift mini lab for field use. please do the problem with slow acting strips, and we see this with apivar, is you can't let mite levels get to high. its not like bayvarol/apistan with something like 95% kill rate in 24 hrs. but mite levels also depends on how much drift you get from your own hives as well as others nearby. even the synthetics can appear to not work because of that. however OA may have another trick up its sleeve and i'm waiting on randys test results to be published on that. thats interesting as i noticed the oa strips don't get worked as much if they are to the front/back or sides.
