One hive has high mite count and we are considering treating with mite away
quick strips (organic formic acid). However if we treat we'll do this in
all hives. The hive next to it isnt queen right and has 9 capped queen
cells. Should we wait until the colony is queen right before treating? Any
guidance on whether treatment would adversely impact the developing queen
cells?
