Yeah. That’s way to many mites. We will see how they turn out. They’re Florida bees and very mean. I assume they have some of the African bee in them. As far as the boxes with holes, it makes me think of your experiment a little while ago.

Drill a hole in the top corner of your box for OA it works great

Well, I would have to drill a slot, my vaporizET nozzle is 3/8x1-1/4. But I seen how some people do that and then plug it with a golf T. Seems like that would work good

@@ETsBees I didn’t sell you a mite bomb colonies 😂. but no everyone’s been treating more often and it’s a harder battle then before. They have been testing new treatments here that have been doing really well so we’ll see what happens in the near future with them.

@@Synergyfarm hmm that’s interesting. I just read a little on Amiflex. Sounds interesting three doses in a row of that would probably do a good job, but then you would be going off label. And at 3.50 a double hive that puts you are 11.50. Wow that’s expensive. And on top of that you need an applicator license. Oxalic acid has its draw backs but for that much money per hive it would be way better to do everything in your power to control with acid
