Mann Lake Formic Pro Varroa Mite Treatment, Bee Colony Mite Control, Combat Varroosis, Extended Shelf Life, Residue-Free, Eco-Friendly Formula,10-Dose

This product worked great for us on our four honeybee hives. It was an economical alternative to purchasing all the equipment necessary for oxalic acid treatment. We have found that using this in conjunction with a friend helping out with and oxalic acid treatment in the winter works well for our hives. We used the two treatment method as described in the instructions. Definitely plan on using this in the spring and fall within the 50 to 80° temperature range to prevent damage to bees. Educate yourself with videos too!

Got rid of my mites.

I use this as a summer treatment, to alternate with oxalic acid (using only 1 treatment tend to build varroa mites that are resistant to that treatment over time. Alternative helps this).Any way, easy to use. When I did the oxalic acid treament in the fall afterwards I was surprised by the very low level of mites. Seems to work good.Watch out, this is hard on eggs and larvae, it says it can kill a bunch short them, so do not use on a hive that is trying to raise a new queen.

Good value to care for bees. Be cautious because the smell is very bad for you. Even with a mask it hurt to breathe.

Package arrived earlier than expected & product seems to be in good shape (expiration date is over a year out). Deducted one star because they just sent the strips in the sealed envelope w/o the box. For storing, I prefer to get the product in the box.

This stuff is easy to use and works great! Do not touch it or dispose of it in properly. I recommend putting the used ones in a plastic bag and tie it shut and put it in a plastic trash bag. Smells bad so store in a can till trash day. Highly recommend this as it really works well !!

I wish we did not need this but mites are a reality and these are needed to keep your hives healthy and alive. Our local Bee expert uses these as part of his operation and last year he only lost 1 of his 70 hives over the Winter. Obviously there is more to it, but these are a part of the solution.

Easy to use and works really well! I do suggest if you have not used it before to do the ONE strip dosage first! I have heard of it killing lots of bees and the queen before but I have never had any problems or issues using it other than killing the older bees that are on the way out anyway. I do recommend just follow the instructions!
