I’m currently treating with Formic Pro. Tomorrow will be the 10 day split where I’m supposed to put on the 2nd strip. 1st treatment really seemed to affect the bees but it did kill a ton of mites and they’re still dropping, though not as much. Instructions say to not inspect but it does seem there’s a lot less bees than when I started. I did see the queen just before treatment and brood patterns in both boxes (deep and medium) were good. I feel I should have a good look to get an idea how they’re doing and maybe even take a day or two before putting the next strip on. I’m also wondering if I should trim an inch or two off the strip as I run 8 frame boxes and the strips seem to be meant for 10 frame hives. Plus I’m going to need to feed soon and feel like it’s getting too late in the season to get it done. Just thinking out loud...
