> I used the dribble method for two years on my nucs and found it a
useless method for mite control.
Hi Tracey, I'm curious about your lack of success with the method, since it
works extremely well for us. We use it for nucs started with a queen cell,
so that there is an induced brood break on Day 18 or 19 after making the
nuc, at which time we apply the dribble.
Did you also do the same?
If your nucs were instead started with a laying queen, then I would
understand your disappointment with the method.
