We've yet to come up with an answer to that question, Bill, despite
treating a lot of 3 deeps with either MAQS or top flash.  We've found that
the mite kill in the brood drops off if the treatment is not applied close
to the brood.  But it's tricky, as you know, to apply enough formic, but
not so much that it hurts the bees too much.

I'm looking forward to hearing answers from others with experience.
