Hi
I am enjoying the discussion on organophates.  So the next question that
begs to be asked is this.  Since we know that wax absorbs chemicals.  If
a beekeeper uses chemical spring and fall.  How often does the wax need
to be changed to help avoid over saturation of chemicals in the wax.
Along with this would the time be different if a person rotates chemicals
spring and fall.  I believe that it is very important to keep the
chemical levels low in the wax so as not to encourage resistance.  I have
asked this to several beekeepers and got unsatisfactory answers, in my
opinion, such as change when light no longer shows through.
