I am working with someone who runs hives in limitless brood chambers. Well, there is a limit to the space, but there is all the room the bees may need, and more. Some hives are 5, 6 or more deeps (or equivalent - there may be mediums included in the configuration). The space is all for the bees; no honey supers, no queen excluders, all space is strictly for the bees. There is no intent to harvest any honey. Some of these hives have high mite counts, determined by confectionery sugar shakes. The mite treatment will be MAQS. I have not been able to find comment on http://www.nodglobal.com/ regarding "proper dose" for such hives. Surprisingly I do not find a "contact us" link on NOD's pages either. Comments?
