I am pulling off my last honey super for extraction and will be using 2 strips of Formic Pro to knock the mites down. Temps should be well within the treatment guidelines. I am planning on pulling the full super off and then replacing the box with empty comb so the bees can fill it with whatever fall flow we get around here (if they don't manage to fill it much then I will add some stored capped honey before the winter).
Formic Pro recommends waiting 24 hours after hive manipulations before treatment. I will not be removing/moving other frames or manipulating any other boxes or changing anything else around, just removing the super and then replacing it with an empty drawn box of frames either the same day or the next day. Should I still wait before putting the formic pro strips in? 24 hours or more/less?
Thanks for the help!
