it only polled a limited number of people who they contact for the honey
reports. 

And yet, if you were to ask me, from what I see daily I'd say about 2/3 use
the strips and about 1/3 use other stuff. By the way, in case it is not
clear, I am in full agreement with Brian here, that the time for Apistan or
Checkmite has passed. Oh, and I see a small percentage of hives where they
have Apistan AND Checkmite AND they aren't ever taken out.
