There seems to be alot of confusion about apistan dosage.  The company has
changed it's recomendations from a per hive treatment to a per box treatment.
 
You'd better consult with your local state/provincial apiarist since
recomendations may also vary with local conditions.
 
The old way was two strips in the top box containing brood.  The sticky
board used to detect mites is placed on the bottom board.  Apparently
(this is 2nd hand) they now recomend two strips per box with brood.  Can
anyone confirm?
