Hello All,
Many parts of the northern U.S. enjoy similar weather patterns as Missouri.
When Varroa first came to Missouri (without invitation) there was talk of
pulling supers around July 15th and treating for Varroa and then approx 6
weeks later putting supers back on for a fall crop.  Terramycin could not be
used in the fall with this method because time had to pass after treatment.
Apistan,Coumaphous,apicure and Menthol could be used but two weeks would
have to be waited after *Checkmite* strips were removed before replacing
supers.
After all the talk at bee meetings I myself have not tried the above and i
have not talked to a beekeeper which has.  Are there any beekeepers in the
midwest or north which have tried the above and would care to share their
results with us good or bad?  if so how did the hives look in the spring
after ending all treatments by September 1st.?
Bob
