I received the easy vap from Johno quickly and easily - looks like a great product.
QUESTIONS:
1. What brand of oxalic acid do you folks recommend using?
2. How much oxalic acid do you folks recommend using exactly for a standard 2 deep brood box hive?
3. Where do you folks recommend drilling the hole to insert this device? Do I just drill a hole at the top of the lower brood box, around the top of the frames?
4. How many times throughout the year to treat if I have, say 40 hives? I don't have time to do mite counts for all 40 hives, so I just need to know when to treat.
5. If treating during brood period, is it recommended to treat once every FIVE DAYS, or once every SEVEN Days? I've read that I need to treat 3 times, once every 5 or 7 days.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.
