I have been noticing several DWV affected bees outside of my garden hives.
Definitely HIGH mite levels.  I cannot use Apistan, much less check-mite
due to organic restrictions on the farm.  ( I would not anyway).

Dennis VonEnglethorp at EAS mentioned that bees with DWV at this stage of
teh season are doomed.  Can I treat with Formic? Or can I do Oxalic at five
day intervals?  Also, what volume (in tsp or Tbsp) does 2 grammes of Oxalic
correspond to?  Thanks.  We are leaving for holiday on teh 28th, so I have
to get on this.  I have ten other hives at another location on the
property, and will pull the remaining honey this week.  Most are RR supers
at this point.  JK
