[QUOTE="Maggie, post: 2936, member: 71"] No I don't know better than the manufacturers, but in this neck of the woods, in spring when I treat I don't have full boxes of brood frames. If you use Bayvarol in spring, then read the packet - the manufacturer of Bayvarol states quite clearly "large colonies occupying several brood chambers use four strips per chambers" If I were to use four strips, I would be wasting money. In extreme situations in this area, we will some years use three strips per chamber, but we confer. We don't want resistance to synthetic chemicals in this neck of the woods. But having said that, so we don't run the risk of chemical residues showing up in our honey, we have changed to use Bayvarol in autumn instead of spring. [/QUOTE]
