I like using MAQ strips. I treated my hives in September and my remaining stock have gone past their expiry date.
I note Thornes have some discounted stock available in their current flash sale though they expire in March 19. I am interested in responses from those who use MAQs and have good experience and knowledge on their use:
1) what happens if one applies them to the hive past expiry? ( I assume they just lose effectiveness but....)
2) since I have used them in Sept 18 would it be worth another treatment in March as brood starts to increase?
