Hi Mark and all
Apistan is a contact miticide, i.e. it is picked up by the bees feet and
transferred around the whole colony mites, honey and all.  Thus there would
be similar concerns with pollen for human food as there is for honey for
human consumption.
Safety is subjective and standards vary but there definitely IS residue
concerns.
