Treatments for varroa.
I'm a beekeeper from Northern Victoria. I've found verroa in my hives a couple of weeks ago. A few questions for you guys.
- What treatment do you use and why? If possible I'd like to steer away from synthetic treatments. It seems formic pro is popular.
- What is your experience with non chemical treatment methods like breaking brood cycles or using a mesh base?
- Have you used verroa resistant queens? Does it work well? I've been told this helps but treatment is still needed to help control mite load from time to time.
- What does your treatment plan look like in an average year?
