Tom Hochheimer requested information on honey contaminated by Apistan.
Tom please explain exactly what you did. IF you removed ALL supers when
you installed the Apistan and then removed the Apistan prior to replacing
your supers, you will not have contaminated your honey.
 
QUESTION:
 
Do you need to wait any length of time to safely avoid honey
contamination from Apistan strips between their removal and the
addition of honey supers?
 
I have been told that 30 days needs to elapse between the removal of
Apistan strips and the adding of honey supers to avoid contamination.
 
It sure would be good news to me that supers can be added immediately
after removing the fluvalinate, considering the twice a year
treatment this area seems to require.
 
Thanks.
