I have a question for the list  that doesn't seem to have any reference in
the bee-l  archives . We, my wife and I,  have been asked to place two or
three hives at a organic garden location, the organic garden people are very
strict on the non-use of any chemicals.  We believe the bees probably won't
survive without apistan.  Is there any threat that the apistan and the organic
garden principle conflict with each other? In other words, would the apistan
cause a problem by rubbing off on the plants and leaving a chemical residue or
is that amount too insignificant to even measure or jeopardize the organic
concept?
 
                                                     thank you in advance
