You must have meant the other Mike. I, mws1112004, have to this point never
used strips so cannot comment anecdotally about the practice.

That was me; strips have not been a success in the past, unless sandwiched
between two straight combs. In which case they tell me very little about how
the bees would build if left undisturbed. I may try again, but right now the
big question I want to answer is whether mating success will improve if I
really wallop the mites a few weeks before I raise queens, so they have
unparasitised drones available.
