Does anyone know the answer to this question?

 reply:
 Yes there is limited residue and this has been noted in articles published
in ABJ..


I honesty don't think you need to worry about chemical residues in new wax
produced prior to the application of the pesticide. This is the *whole point*
of not applying during the honey flow. How would it get there?

Furthermore, if there is evidence of pesticide residues in capping wax, then
you owe it to us to cite specific studies and their conclusions. It is simply
not good enough to say: "this has been noted in articles published in ABJ"
