Hello Jeremy & All,

Jeremy shared:
imilar lack of great mite control at the yards treated with
> one strip or two.

I might add that threshold (the level when a hive has too high a varroa load 
for the beekeeper to spend money on a treatment) has little to do with 
varroa kill.

I have used these over threshold hives before ( in archives) to test varroa 
treatments. I moved these hives to a remote yard and tried many treatments.

What Jeremy describes is a product not killing the varroa.

Formic kill can take time as compared to say apistan or checkmite ( when 
working correctly) but when the dose is correct with formic I do not see 
what Jeremy *describes*.

Very interesting. Keep us advised Jeremy.
