Started medicating my two hives on August 1st. Put a spacer box on and added a tray of Api-Guard to each hive. Will leave on for fourteen days and replace with another tray for another fourteen days. This is for treatment of mites. I have run tests of both hives and found no sign of mites. I have bees told by a number of beekeepers to treat for mites if you show signs of them or not. Also have been told why treat if you have no problem. Since I have been a new beekeeper this is what I have found on every question on beekeeping,three to four different answers to every question. This is where you have to decide for yourself what path to take. If beekeeping was cut and dried it wouldn"t be as much of a challenge
