I used them last fall for the first time. All 20 colonies survived the 
winter so you can put me down as a thumbs up. Some of the colonies are 
showing high mite loads for spring though so I plan to do a single pad 
treatment as the flow has started weakly here just to knock them back a 
bit. If Mann Lake has Apivar available for Vermont by fall that will be 
my chosen treatment though.
