Beezy
House Bee
Hi,
We have a varroa problem at the moment which I don't think can wait until August, so I want to treat asap. The thing is the bees have a Q that they're not happy with and at the moment there is a supercedure cell (capped) in the hive, which should hatch next weekend.
Should I wait until the new Q has hatched and hopefully mated before treating with apiguard, as I don't want to do something to chase her off or ruin the mating process?
Thanks for any advice.
