I have just purchased , for the first time, Apistan strips for my spring
Varoa treatment.  In the past I've relied on Formic Pads, however, this
year I'm going to try using Apistan in the Spring and Formic in the Fall.

As I purchased the strips in bulk, there are no instructions attached,
except for to use 1 strip for every 5 frames of bees.  My question is, how
do I apply the strips to the hive? Where do I hang the strips and how close
together.  Also, how close to the bees (ie. in the middle of the brood
chamber and populataion?

Cheers,
Mark Walker.
