we tested them on 10 hives in one apiary, 5 of 10 went queenless and died over the winter. the other 10 hives in the apiary were treated with apiguard at the same time, 10 of 10 survived. We might use again if a hive needs treatment during a honey flow, but never again in the fall.

 Another beek used on all 175 hives later in the fall, most of the dead outs that he pulled out in the spring had supercedure cells in place, so he is pretty sure it took out his queens, he said if he tries it again he will do it earlier so the queens can get mated, but is probably changing to another product.

we would all like the old product back.
