The two 30 count boxes of Formic Pro was delivered fast and this was my first year applying formic as a spring treatment. I followed the temperature guidelines and had good results. I think even in Tennessee summers, when used carefully, formic can be a useful tool for my bee operation.
I like that I can use it during a honey flow if necessary. Occasionally we will lose a queen but I believe these are queens that would not have performed well later in the year as most of them were already showing some minor signs of natural aging. Having young back up queens is always important and we are always making them in spring and early summer anyways.
I plan to continue to explore better ways to use formic pro to keep our combs clean and our bees healthy.
Thanks for the feedback Kamon!
