Following Dr. Rodriguez's idea about using FGMO against the varroa,
prevention and or treatment, I used it this season and as a result now I
have the same kind of hive that I use to have before varroa cames up here:
2% hive death rate during wintering - 20 % before FGMO - and 0 % during
spring or summer time - 5% before FGMO- twice nucs and honey/hive.
To my 300 hives I just sprayed inside of the boxes and in the top bar a
mixture (prepared just before to use it, and well shaked when it is used)
1 lt. water + 200 gr. sugar + 100 cc FGMO (lasts for 50-70 hives). They
were sprayed: at the end of winter (1 time), in the beginning of spring
(2 times each 15 days), and the end of fall (2 times each 15 days).
I hope this is usefull for some-one who needs a cheap, easy and effective
treatment against that mite, like it was to me.-
Good luck - good crop - good prices
