later this month I choose to book the summer treatments for the consortium plan to combat varroa.
regional bees this year, the laboratory has made four assumptions struggle
api life var (piano)
Apiguard (Plan B)
Apiguard + api life var (plan c)
Apistan + bees life var: (plan) are
know in a timely manner the fluvalinate (the active ingredient dell'apistan), but contrary to preconceptual use too much chemical in the hive.
I read that fluvalinate has remarkable persistence, which leaves no residue in the molecule stable in wax. are also known problems with the emergence of resistant mite populations of this substance.
rather then direct the thymol (var Apiguard life and bees), which then are also entitled to the biological.
well as a more complex composition than all'apiguard api life var (thymol, eucalyptol, camphor, menthol and thymol against only), using two very different covers for when the temperatures as they make it better.
last year I had a mixed treatment, a third of the first cycle and two seconds Apiguard third round with live bees var.
I had several problems with the api var life because of too high a temperature during treatment, one of the two families had moved out completely from the hive for the entire period of treatment. Apiguard the other hand was better tolerated decimante, effectiveness does not comment, I leave to you: 1078 +1383 falls Apiguard varroa in 10 days and 5977 + 1530 with api var life in 21 days.
today but I can not predict what the temperatures will be in August, then: what to do?
I think opt for the floor there, like last year, and then I play the second temperature.
