In researching my original question about the potential affects of Apistan on queen-rearing in splits i searched the bee-l archives and found a few posts from 1995 that discussed the possibility that queens stopped laying while the strips were on and/or that e brood morty occured. Consensus of the posts seemed to be that, if either occured, it was probably related to early recommendations for heavier dosing than what is in use now.
