Mite away quick strips

3.9K views 5 replies 6 participants last post by  grady  
I am going to test my bees for mites soon and I want to know if mite away quick strips work. I was told that after the first treatment they become immune to that brand and you would have to change brands to treat again. Can anyone tell me what to do? Thanks!
As someone else said, it’s good to use other mite treatments but I never heard this anywhere about immunity. MAQs are excellent. So is Formic Pro. As described Pro has a longer shelf life. I’d also recommend one strip at and time. Two strips makes for excessive mortality and the bees get a little pissy.
