Mann Lake Formic Pro Varroa Mite Treatment, Bee Colony Mite Control, Combat Varroosis, Extended Shelf Life, Residue-Free, Eco-Friendly Formula,10-Dose

The formic pro is just as advertised. I messaged before I purchased to check the expiration dates. Mann Lake communicates quickly. Thanks! The product is as advertised. Follow instructions and temperature guidelines.

Perfect for the $$$ for our beehives!

Formic Pro works but there are caveats for its use. It does provide a good mite knockdown, and they are easy to use. But temperature can be an issue for beekeepers in SoCal when our weather heats up. We are limited to winter and spring and very early summer. I have had queen issues. Several times I've had queen supercedure after use, losing purchased queens (ouch). But as it's a natural product I'll continue to use it.

Works well once you get the correct temperature range.

I use this as a summer treatment, to alternate with oxalic acid (using only 1 treatment tend to build varroa mites that are resistant to that treatment over time. Alternative helps this). Any way, easy to use. When I did the oxalic acid treament in the fall afterwards I was surprised by the very low level of mites. Seems to work good. Watch out, this is hard on eggs and larvae, it says it can kill a bunch short them, so do not use on a hive that is trying to raise a new queen.

Bought this worried about expiry date...these came with an expiry date of 2028...this product has 2 year shelf life. These are very fresh thank you.

My husband applied one strip to each hive this past fall. We were worried of overdoing it and killing the bees like other reviews. We live in Michigan. A couple days ago he went and checked on them. They are still alive. It's December

Purchased three NUCS and moved them into a 10 frame box in next week. I used Formic Pro as directed for a 99% mite kill rate.
