[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1444559, member: 14661"] The fume board is the only way to go. I still use fischers bee quick but I have heard that the new stuff works okay. I know a guy that uses essential oils and has his own little mix that he claims works great and also knocks down the phetoric mites but I've always been scared to try it because two of the oils in his mix were looked at early on for varroa and shown to be pretty hard on the bees. Make sure you leave plenty for the bees. We're supposed to have a warm winter and they can burn through quite a bit more than they do in a cold winter. You can always pull it in the spring if they don't use it but if they need it and don't have it they die. Italians will need one full super of stores, carnis can get by in a story and a half just fine. [/QUOTE]
