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.
