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
