Ideally yes. However advice we have been given that if you have a wasp issue then you can reduce the entrance but open up the varroa board so you ventilate the hive that way.
on the packet (bought from Thornes) it says "1 strip every 7 days for each beehive. complete treatment 4 strips for each beehive." this is twice the dose and different from your video. the ones I got are Lot 080323 exp 04/2025. Can you comment on this discrepancy. I dont like deviating from instructions on the packet, but 4 strips per hive effectively makes it twice the cost that you indicate on website and on this video

If you have a mesh floor, do you still need to open up the entrance?
Ideally yes. However advice we have been given that if you have a wasp issue then you can reduce the entrance but open up the varroa board so you ventilate the hive that way.
What month is best to give this treatment?
Ideally ambient temperature should be over 15 degrees. Normally April time

Not sure where the contradiction is. One strip every 7 days is correct. Although you should break the strip into 2 or 3 to be most effective
@@ThorneBeehives Ah - strips vs tablets was my problem. I thought each pack was one strip (with 2 tablets in the strip) ...got it now!
