>   Are these directions similar to those provided for Bayvarol?
 
I quote in part from the 'Bayvarol' leaflet:-
 
Each strip contains 3.6mg Flumethrin
Normally developed colonies recieve 4 strips
Nuclei and young colonies receive half dose.
Large colonies with several brood chambers receive 4 strips per chamber
 
Best efficacy is to be expected when used in late summer after the honey harvest.
Ideally the strips should not be used during peak honey flow periods. However,
Bayvarol can be used at any time of the year for diagnosis or in severe
infeststions where there is a threst to the survival of the colony.
 
Diagnosis. 24 hours
Treatment - six weeks.
