I understand the handling warnings. What I as poorly addressing is the
method of application. If I recall correctly, the pad method required
buttoning up the hive except for the bottom entrance, while the new method
says that you may have to crack the hive bodies to keep the concentration
down!

This whole thread addresses the possible harm to bees with the new method.
It just seems intuitive that if you have to reduce the concentration, it has
a greater possibility of harming bees. I tend to agree with Peter.
