I'm going to treat my hives with formic acid this September after I harvest the honey. It's going to be the first time I do this and I plan on using the small mite wipe pads which hold 35ml of acid. This treatment requires 5 or 6 applications 4 days apart... temperature permitting. So pretty much all of September. But this is also the time I feed 2:1 syrup using individual feeders. So my question... can I feed while the acid is on? Will they even take the feed? If I wait until October to feed the temperature is usually too cold for them to process the syrup.
Thanks to all that reply.
