Is the latter going to render O.A. to the status of "good one, but not now needed" when varroa treatment is being dealt with ?


I "certainly" hope so.  According to the representative who made comments at the spring meeting of the Alabama Beekeepers' Association about the fungicide treatment, all that the beekeeper would need to do is drop a tablet of this stuff down the hole of the inner cover and the hive is treated, for a good long time since the infective organisim is spread around the hive and is viable for quite a while.  It also would proliferate as it kills varroa and is smeared around the hive by the bees.  Supposedly the cost would be less than $2.00 a pill.  Time and money savings???  It would be nice.  I'll wait to see it on the market.
