<< From: "[log in to unmask]" <[log in to unmask]> I'm considering using Check Mite Plus in my hives for varroa control. I have been using apistan strips both spring and fall. >> Why? I have had varroa in my hives for a decade and never found the need to treat more than once a year; sometimes less. The usual treatment in UK has been Bayvarol which came on the market earlier than Apistan.
