[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 2988, member: 13"] Maggie you present yourself as an educator, so should not have said that 2 strips is all you use, with [B]no further explanation[/B]. As it stood, any newbie would have gained the impression that using 2 strips is fine. Where I am, 2 strips is [B]not[/B] fine. Because the issue was raised by several posters you have gone on to further explain your reasoning, which I agree with, that in your weak hives that do not fill a box, two strips may be enough. However this should have been explained in your initial post, and because it was not, is why you have had the reaction that you got. It [B]does[/B] need to be pointed out to newbies that your advice, as given in that post, was not good advice for people with stronger hives. Anyhow I trust that the following posts to your first post have cleared up the matter. [/QUOTE]
