[Bee Draggle]

I was wondering if anyone had any experience in treating bees in a standard size nuc box with formic acid as a Spring treatment? I’m thinking maybe using just ¼ of what you would nomally use on a two story hive. It would probably be safer to use Apistan but I’m trying to get away from using Apistan.

i us Apiguard i buy a big tub of it use this on my 5 frame 9 5/8 deeps just scrap off the top bars and put in 3 different places on the top bars when the weather is hot dont put much i usally use one of those small plastic spoons that you get in a pack they are about 1/2 the size of a teaspoon and kinda round it up. late winter or early spring you can use a little more.

I've been told not to use formic in the spring...until the winter bees have been replaced with young.
