How and or whether to treat for mites is a hotly debated topic.
One of the first steps you may want to take before any treatment, is inspecting whether or not you even have a Varroa mite problem.
They were fumed a couple weeks ago, so I?m sure they have been knocked back. I?ve only seen one mite out of two hive inspections. I?ve got good frames of worker brood, and very few spots with drone cells right now.
It?s not so much for right now, but to have on hand for later. I?ve got the alcohol shaker, but wasn?t planning to check them yet.
My style is going to lean more towards the natural or wholistic style of doing about anything I do, I assume this will be the same. I haven?t done a ton of reading on the types of treatments, but I want to stay away from things that you can?t have near honey. It starts sounding bad if you have too many restrictions.
Some of the precautions of the formic pro are off putting as well.
