The Api Life Var directions say : "Use in spring or in late summer/fall
when bees are not producing surplus honey. Remove API LIFE VAR tablets from
hive at least one month (30 days) prior to harvesting the honey to prevent
contamination of the honey.""

Then this one says:
*WITHDRAWAL PERIOD: 0 DAYS*
ORGANIC BEE-KEEPING
Thanks to its natural and safe components, API LIFE VARŪ is certified,
without any limitations, by the Regulations governing ORGANIC BEEKEEPING
for the fight against Varroasis (Reg. 2092/91/EEC of 24th June 1991 and
successive Modifications).

So I am confused.
I do not use this product, it has a really strong smell. To have a clear
understanding of this for the customers at the bee supply shop is it don't
put supers on until 30 days after removing the treatment or put supers on
but do not harvest for 30 days? Or eat your honey right away?
I read it as do not put supers on until 30 days after using the product,
but I am bias because I hate the smell of the stuff. Other are reading it
as do not harvest the honey until 30 days has gone by. The one that says 0
withdrawal is not USA.
