Hi everyone. I did a few (4) drop counts on mites the other day. I put sticky boards under 4 hives and left for three days. My counts were 4, 6, and the other two I could not find one mite. It really made me feel good. I am using the FGMO/THYMOL and I can say I have not missed a treatment (weekly) since the first of the year. I have been using this treatment for some time now. My bees look great and the boxes are busting with bees. Im not going to say I dont have mites, but everything is looking better this year than the past. The bees made a good amount of blossom and now are ripping on the wild flower and palmetto. I am going to do some more drop counts coming up and will post them also. Take care JJ Thanks again to the Dr. Pedro if you come up with any new ideas, please e-mail me.

Hi everyone. Just got back from the bee yard. I had put two sticky boards under two more hives Friday afternoon. Before I put the boards I powder dusted with sugar and fogged went back today and guess what no mites. I think Im going to get my bee inspector (David Westervelt) to come by and give them a check with a alcohol wash.I again will say I have not missed a week on my fogging since the first of the year. I sure hope I can keep this recorded up. My bees look great. The Palmetto will be over in about a week or so and them I will really have to be on the watch. Yall take care. JJ
