Yes that would work then I guess it would have to be 6 strips for
three mediums since they recommend 1 strip for each 5 frames. I was
thinking about the square inches of comb inside the hive verses what the
strips are meant to cover, I was making it to complicated. I guess the bees
will not O.D. on it it seems a fairly safe product. That fact that it has
to be repeated so many times makes it not very cost efficient but no worse
than ApiLife Var which is very popular here.

Thanks,
Karen
