I have made a screen applicator (window screen attached to a Imrie Shim) and use a show polishing brush to sweep the sugar through the screen. The application is made BELOW any supers but above brood area. I do not break apart the brood area but apply above the entire brood area.

That looks like a good way to distribute the powdered sugar while sifting it at the same time. Good job BEEK.
Sweet!
NO other treatment as of yet. My goal is to use survivor stock and breeding cycles (splits) to deal with mites.
We’ll see how that works.
I am going to build a screen today. Great idea & looks like an old shoe brush or scrub brush will work. Do you ever use any other medicine at the same time? (Terramycin?)
nice !!
