In case you missed it: Dr. Heather Broccard-Bell gave a wonderful, well-rounded overview of Formic acid and its use in beekeeping at this month’s Quinte Beekeepers Association meeting. She discussed everything from the biochemistry of Formic acid to the science behind the instructions on our labels!
If you are interested in this topic, Heather wrote an article for The Australasian Beekeeper last September on Formic Acid as a Varroa Mite Treatment, and she also has lots of information in the form of blogs on our website nodglobal.com/blog.

As we start to look towards the Spring season coming up in the Northern Hemisphere, you may be wondering when the best time is to treat for varroa mites in your hives.
1. Monitor for mites: You should be monitoring mite levels as frequently as possible. Our recommended timeline is monthly during periods of brood-rearing. Watch the mite levels because it is important to treat when local thresholds are reached.
2. Check temperature guidelines: The outside daytime temperature range needs to be between 50-85°F (10-29.5°C), and try to avoid rainfall during the first day of treatment.
3. Find a local distributor: Head on over to nodglobal.com/buy to discover which of your local distributors can provide you with Formic Pro.

We`re back with #FAQFridays - we chatted with our sales team and one of the most-asked questions they receive is "Can I treat my NUC colonies with Formic Pro?"
The answer is: Although some beekeepers have successfully treated their NUC colonies with Formic Pro, we do not recommend doing so. You need a minimum of 6 frames of bees (10,000 bees) to ensure the best results.
What other questions do you want answered? Let us know in the comments below!

Welcome to #FAQFridays where we hash out our most frequently asked questions regarding our products. Today, we are answering the question: "How do I dispose of spent Formic Pro strips?".
The answer: The leftover spent strips will compost over time. They can be handled the same way as any other organic yard waste material. The strips can stay in the hive after the treatment period as they are no longer releasing formic acid into the hive, and can be removed at the beekeeper’s convenience (post-treatment) and then composted.
Don`t forget: Always handle strips with nitrile gloves!
‼️ Be sure to always check your local guidelines when it comes to disposing of these products. ‼️
