reply;
This is because in warm weather it has none detrimental,and this study was probably done during active season when warm,..... but with cold weather the opposite happens, and with absorption into beeswax then it leaches out later to create problems in cold weather, and this was researched deeply and written about for killing bees in mass long ago as a class 2 pyrthroid........and Chaney wrote the thesis in college by the way and it is avail on line for reading!!
