Hi, does anyone have any recommendations for varroa treatment at this time of year? For some reason our winter treatments did not work and we are now seeing very high levels of mite drop. We used apiguard in April but it also did not have the desired effect. Thank you!

You can use Formic Pro or vape removing the supers.

April was too cold here for Apiguard to have been effective. It is my main Aug/Sept treatment.

If you don't have supers on, Apivar will also be an effective option
