>What are the protocols for treating a package?  I.e. treat while still in
the package, if so how much?

Thanks Dan,

I hurriedly added a few notes to the Powerpoint  (which takes me about an
hour to present), and posted it for general use.  Apologies for leaving out
some details which I normally speak of.

I added to the updates: Re treatment of package bees.  After installing a
package, it will be at least 9 days before there are brood old enough for
varroa to enter.  That means that you can treat a package with an oxalic
dribble or Apivar strip up 'til about 5 days after the package is
installed, without loss of efficacy (due to oxalic).   Treat by oxalic
dribble with 5 mL of medium strength per seam of bees.
