[QUOTE="tristan, post: 13068, member: 30"] they had other treatment early spring. it was more of a test to see if it would negatively effect them. but would be useful if it kept mites down. judging treatment effectiveness by if the hive dies or not is the idiot way of doing it, its not hard to go mite check. no need to go killing hives. tho even just straight checking mite levels doesn't really tell you its effectiveness. it will tell you if it worked but not how well it worked. for that you need hives with high mite numbers, and i've found thats really hard to. most hives here will collapse well before they have really high mite loads suitable for testing.
