I treated 4 yards (240 hives) with MAQS in July.  Honey supers were on 
most hives.  Three yards got one strip per hive, one yard got two strips 
per hive.  I looked inside hives after 3 days and saw live mites 
emerging from the brood.  I looked inside after 2 weeks and saw live 
mites on the emerging brood at every yard.  I checked capped brood and 
found happily reproducing female mites.

It definitely decreased the mites a little bit but the hives will 
require another treatment next week.  I am pulling the honey now and 
will treat again with MAQS before splitting and requeening to see if it 
works better this time.  I am definitely not satisfied, but am willing 
to try it again.
