I will be putting formic acid on my hives this week, no later than Wednesday. I was watching the weather this morning and the long term forecast calls for 90's coming back next weekend. I want to make sure I can get my mite treatment on before it gets hot again.
There are several posts about mite treatments over the last week. Scroll down to see the older posts.

Always wear protective clothing and use a smoker when working bees.
