I almost let this query slide because it is SOOOO covered extensively in the
archives.  "Apistan Use" yields over 250 hits!  I went perusing through the
archives to review some of the answers and the prevalent thread that
emerges, instructions or not, beekeepers either won't or can't or are simply
unwilling to follow the directions or are hell bent on misinterpreting them.
It's truly amazing!

Be that as it may, when questions are asked repeatedly it is my opinion that
the current answers given to the perennial questions are not nearly as good
as the answers you will find in the archives if you'll swim in those waters.

Good Apistan use instructions:
