🔵94 mite wash hive 8 OAV rounds and 2 Apivar strips later!!

This swarm was allowed to be treatment free for 2 seasons and was allowed to show signs of viruses before the colony was treated. We do not recommend this in any way.... actually we recommend dropping the hammer on the suckers long before the mites get close to 94 in a wash. Our goal is to demonstrate two things. First off, how important mite control is, and secondly the limitations of Oxalic acid vapor (OAV)

Beekeeping supplies that we recommend can be found here:
