So, the temperature was too high to cause overheating in the hive. About formic acide wasn’t any reports.

We used chemicals and cutting out drone maggot, yes.

I see, that thymol is popular substance, that you were using. In the Poland, during the thaw, bees also flew up.

You are very nice and hospitable. Many beekeepers combine with this Api Live Var. All afraid use this. In the Poland we fed with tits, woodpeckers away from the apiary.
“Hombre”
Interesting, in the Poland we use only amitraz or acids.
“Ely”

I am very curious about what you write. We all cry that the life of bees. I also run beekeeping forum, I’m administrator and my friend used the Apilive Var on one family. Once again broke the plate in half. He opened two outlets, pulled out all the trabeculae, assured a high ventilation. Bees wings waved, went with her mother on the wall of the hive at night, but unfortunately did not survive. Perhaps that we have wrong our hives incapable of such treatments.

All argue that reading instruction. There are complaints to the manufacturer ApiLife Var.. Do you flush or evaporate, the oxalic acid?
At the picture is equipment for the evaporation of oxalic acid. My friend made it.

Thank you for description. Unfortunately, in Poland one treatment doesn’t help. We must use few treatment to varroa died.
More and more bees are killed. We suspect the chemicals used in agriculture. In Poland, farmers used a lot chemicals pesticides, herbicides to growing. We fear that human intervention is also affected. Continuous insemination, breeds can lead to a weakening of the internal structure of tissues in bees.
Thank you again for your warm welcome and response. I read your forum, and sometimes write something, such as in Poland cure various diseases. Greetings from Polish beekeepers, Paul – Paweł
