Hi.
   In our own hives, we apply the emulsion soaked cords every two weeks
up to the end of the season, including a treatment in the Fall for wintering.  We realize that this might be too many treatments and are going to lessen the number of treatments this year for comparison. On the other hand, we have not lost any hives since we started treatment with FGMO.
Hence, the number of treatments might balance the cost of lost hives.
    We do not "fog" when the bees are clustered, precisely because we do not wish to disturb the cluster for obvious reasons. We start fogging as
soon as the bees start cleasing flights. This is an accepted practice
for many beekeepers who are utilizing FGMO treatments.
Best regards.
Dr. Rodriguez
