I AM BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND WHY BEES ARE BECOMING RESISTANT.  I SPOKE TO AN
OLDER GENTLEMAN AT AN AUCTION I ATTENDED LAST WEDNESDAY(MAY 1).  THERE WAS
BEEKEEPING EQUIPMENT AT THE AUCTION-THE REASON I ATTENDED.  WE STARTED
TALKING ABOUT TREATING FOR MITES.  I TOLD HIM I TREATED LATE FALL WITH
APISTAN.  THAT THERE WAS USUALLY AT LEAST ONE DAY AT THE END OF THE 6 WEEK
TIME LIMIT THAT WAS WARM ENOUGH TO GO IN AND REMOVE THE STRIPS.  HE SAID HE
ALWAYS LEFT HIS IN UNTIL SPRING AND ASKED WHY THEY HAD TO BE REMOVED AFTER 6
WEEKS.  I EXPLAINED.

PERHAPS MORE THAN INSTRUCTIONS NEED TO BE ON THE PACKAGING.  PERHAPS THE
WHYS NOT JUST THE HOWS NEED TO BE ADDED.
