It means that 7 mites of 100 survive. Recently we use Apistan and its
efficiency at the beginning was promised higher than 99%. It means that
about 1 mite of 100 survives.
Does it mean that the mite resistance to Apiguard will develop about 7 times
sooner than to Apistan, having a much higher efficiency? Your opinion,
please.
The third and fourth week of this January, after usual air temperatures
between -10 and -27 C, we got 2 warm weeks with temperatures from -2 to +2
C. Some beekeeper report that they noticed the queens' activity in their
hives. Usually it starts here a month later. They are worried about the
provision and added some dry food (sugar powder plus honey). Now we have a
usual winter with air temperatures between -5 and -10C.
