Someone I know has put apivar life on a hive that has a super and a brood box above the brood. There's balsam so they will be stocking more in.
I'm not sure we're going to get over 35' in Oldham in the few weeks so the temperature isn't an issue.
I assume the treatment will be less effective as there is lots of space for the stuff to get round and more room for the bees to sit away from it.
But - the honey -
the instructions say: Remove Api Life Var tablets from hive at least 1 month (30 days) prior to harvesting honey
So does this mean you can still take some honey off and eat it?
