Apistan is not sold directly in Germany. As you say, every country has
its idiosynchracies and own label requirements.
In the UK and in other countries where it is registered (over 40
countries) the Apistan label states that the withdrawal period is zero
and it can be used at any time of the year, even during a honeyflow.
The reason for this difference between Apistan and Bayvarol is that
Apistan has an EU ruling for a Maximum Residue Limit in honeybees, as
Annex II, NO MRL NECESSARY whereas Bayvarol only has an MRL for sheep,
[not for honeybees] (the same active ingredient is used in the Bayer
sheep-dip, Bayticol).
Work that one out.

Max
