Formic Pro - The Video
We have a new mite treatment in stock and ready for sale now. This
mite treatment is called Formic Pro. It will be the replacement for Mite
Away Quick Strips (MAQS). It is manufactured by the folks who gave us
MAQS. Basically it is the same product. Looks the same and the
application process is the same. The difference is, the treatment is a
two week treatment instead of a one week treatment. It should be more
effective for Varroa mite control. Supers can be on during the
application of Formic Pro. There is an extended shelf life of Formic Pro
of two years compared to 6 months for MAQS.
This is a video of what the mite treatment looks like and how it is applied to the hive.
I have kept bees for 28 years and run 25 colonies. We have changed our business name to Bees and Honey LLC. We are still selling honey at our Stillwater location.
Honey fills (still in Stillwater) anytime but please call
