Remember that AMITRAZ (sold as Apitraz and Apivar) treatment takes 6 weeks and has to be finished before you add supers.

Assuming you have any bees left to add supers to if you don't treat.

Also remember that if you are vapourising oxalic acid you need appropriate protective clothing including gloves, face mask and goggles. It is potentially hazardous stuff.

Is Apivar similar stuff to Apiguard then?
Just so. I wasnt suggesting that the OP doesnt treat. Just that he makes an informed choice.
Mite drop is 14 in the last 3 days.
Did an inspection on Thursday. Brood seemed fine. Didn't notice any adult bees with DWV when inspecting.
Observed entrance this morning. Spotted about another 5-6 bees with DWV, and actually spotted bees dragging affected bees from the hive and dumping them a short distance away (seen that occur 3 times). Amazing to see, but now I'm worried!
At this stage of the year with an infested hive, culling all the brood is just as likely to finish them off as the mites are unless you can donate brood from another hive.
I just have the one hive.
Mite count was 14 in 3 days. Would that be considered an infested hive at this stage of the year?
