   I've been thinking to contact the manufacturer of Apistan, to see if the
strips could be made of a color that would contrast more with the natural
colors of bees, wood and wax.
  When removing strips, especially with untrained help, it is easy to miss
them. This year, when we took off supers, we found a few hives that still had
the strips. I think we are going to have to do more double checking each
other, but I also wonder if a brighter color wouldn't help.
 Any others feel this way?
