I've got to ask a question. When I read the instructions for apistan and checkmite+ I see it says to remove all honey supers. Now, no matter how I look at that, I can't interpret it as anything other than REMOVE ALL HONEY SUPERS. To know that there are beekeepers out there that decide to ignore the instructions (which apparently is a violation of the law) and have supers now filled with contaminated honey makes me very very concerned. We all have a stake in keeping the reputation of honey as being pure. WHAT ARE YOU GUYS THINKING??? LEAVING HONEY SUPERS ON IS NOT JUST ILLEGAL. IT'S DETRIMENTAL TO OUR FUTURE.
