Q laying and Varroa mites

[dprater]

Will a Q stop laying because of heavy varroa mite infestation and if you get the numbers of varroa back down (and your bees don't leave) will she start laying again. I still have lots of bees at this time.

After 5 days of apilife var treatment varroa at getting low. I'm not sure I still have a Q or not, too much action around the hive to look for her. I do have a couple of nucs I could use to save this hive?

80% out of varroa are inside capped brood. You must do treatmen during 3 weeks that every emerging cycle gets the treatment.

I have no brood not even drone. Just lots of bees. So if no brood I'm not sure is I need to treat after the first treatment? Thinking about looking for the Q in a few days and if I can't find her then trying to add one from a nuc?

That is easy then to treat then. Formic acid is good. Thymol gives too much aroma to honey.
Oxalic trikling works too.
