Think a lot of people are waiting to see what results it does first. Im trying them as im requeening a few days afterwards so will have to see what happens. Saves some time *hopefully* giving best start to winter brood compared to thymol treatment, but take it with a pinch of salt as it does worry me that it could make it queenless.

I've treated 3 colonies with them now. What I've found was it didn't kill the queens. Two were from this year, and one was from last year. What ever brood they are across in the broad box the bees seem to eject them. The next hives I treat I'll place them on the super frames instead - just to avoid losing bees.
