I didn't see any varroa throughout the summer. However, now it is
beginning to show up again, although not in great numbers. I treated
all my hives with Apistan, and don't want to try leaving any untreated
to be a varroa reservoir. I'd love to try the mineral oil treatment,
but am holding off a little bit until I see more results (positive or
negative).
Jerry - what are the bee researchers doing re mineral oil? I don't
see any publishing on this as yet. Is it being ignored or haven't the
data come in yet?
