I do not disagree at all. Some of it is All beekeeping is local and some on
when and how often. But all of it is your own management plan.

My problem is the non-treatment beekeeper in the area  and the Varroa
pressure I see in late Sept and October. So if I only need treat 2x7 in
late July-early August and 2x7 in late Sept early Oct. to keep the Varroa
down until my 1x broodless treatment November, in essence I have 5
treatments compared to 4, 5 or 6 treatments in a single time period to get
excellent results and I am still going to have to treat in Oct and Nov.
with November the most important treatment. That could amount to13
treatments for me. All a matter of management plan rather than efficacy of
control in one time period.
