Hi all,

I read about the new mite control product, Hivastan, about a year ago. The
active ingredient is fenpyroximate. 

As a beek who is responsible to not only support my family, but many others
in our organization, (and let's not forget our responsibility as beeks to
keep the bees alive and healthy), I have consider any tools at my disposal. 

I have read that the active ingredient is put into a form of patty to be set
in the hive. My understanding is that the bees remove the patty as a foreign
object and while doing so, spread the miticide which contacts the varroa
mites and incapacitates them.

I have yet to speak with anyone with firsthand knowledge and direct experience.
 
Has anyone on the Bee-l have anything to share?

Kirk
