Halfway Through the Varroa Treatment

Sunday 30th August

No pictures today as I forgot to take the camera with me. Nothing to report though, we just removed the empty Thymol packs and replaced them with full ones. Just like last year, the treatment seems to have really slowed their production down - there seems to have been very little activity though quite a lot of dead varroa have appeared on the floor (not thousands, just a couple of hundred from each hive).

We sealed everything up again to leave it for another fortnight.
