Treating chicken mites on an apiary

[Ihall26]

Hey Everyone! I’ve discovered mites in my chicken coop. We’ve had terribly humid and wet weather here lately and I noticed them first on my coop door knob. Anyway, I need to treat them but am limited on what I can use because we run an apiary and one of our bee yards is less than 25 feet or so from the coop. Any advice on how to move forward? Thanks.

Use spray, not the dust (which will would around a while) on a warm day so it will dry quickly.
