> Hi Mike,
 I use only one ply across the back part of brood nest(same place as
Terramycin goes. Handle with tongs not because dangerous but because of
the menthol feeling if soaked into gloves. Don't have entrance reducers
in and don't use when honey super are on. Only one ply is enough for two
double depth boxes. Got to go put supers on will answer other questions
later. email cought up.
