Poly Hives & Nucs

[theengraver]

Hi
I have decided to go completly poly this year have bought 50 national nucs
and in the process of buying a hundred or so queen rearing nucs from MBK
and when they get the national hives around the same number of those.

the one thing i did not think of until a few minutes ago was
when treating for verroa is it OK to use oxalic acid to dribble?
i normaly use vapour but im not that daft i know i will end up with a sticky toxic mess.
Also will there be any troble with poly when i use Thymol?

there may be other factor i have not taken into account any comments welcome

The answer is yes.

And going poly is a very sane move.

I refer you to a off the cuff comment on the long running thread, where Murray stated that from a 14 year assessment, his poly units produced 20% more than the timber.
