[QUOTE="Otto, post: 9689, member: 73"] The ones I'm putting in now will mostly get chewed out before winter. I'm earlier with my autumn round than I have been in the previous couple of years (slightly more organized). I may consider putting a couple of fresh ones in in April and leaving those for the winter. As brood nests are small that time of year it would only be a couple per hive at most. That will mostly come down to whether I am nervous about re-invasion at all. I am completely comfortable leaving the staples in over winter and don't believe I get winter dwindling caused by them. I have some sites where hives dwindle in numbers more than others but that was the case prior to using oxalic as well. [/QUOTE]
