I keep bees just north of the Canadian border in Eastern Ontario.  I treat
with Formic acid only in the Spring April/May depending on the temperature.
One application seems to be okay but I now I use Piston in the fall to have
two control that act quite differently and thus reduce or eliminate the
chance of developing resistance in 'my' Varroa.
