Have you done a mite count to determine the colonies have reached the economic threshold for treatment? Prophylactic treating has and can lead to the bees becoming resistant to whatever treatment option we choose. Popping open a hive to do an alcohol wash or sugar roll test even on a warmer day this time of year is very invasive and not recommended. You can use a sticky board that will give you a general idea of your mite levels as an alternative method. </P> </blockquote><br>
