Hi All
Can someone tell me how long you need to leave the Check mite plus
strips on the hive and how long before you can replace the supers.

A friend has lost the instructions and only has the 10 pack left with no
instructions.
Thanks much.

Carl,

Most pesticide labels are available online. Here is one for
Checkmite:
http://www.datcp.state.wi.us/arm/agriculture/pest-fert/pesticides/pdf/CheckmiteBees_section_18_label_2005.pdf

If that one doesn't work, here is another link:

Good luck. And I applaud you for trying to follow the label.
Pesticide resistance is everybody's problem.

Thanks for the information, I think the guy will not use the strips they
are several years old he said they had been in the barn and the package
has been opened.
I think he will try Hood traps on the hives the Check mite is
restricted here in NC and his dad that bought the strips has died.
Again thanks for the help.
Carl
