[QUOTE="tristan, post: 10183, member: 30"] pull the old oxalic strips out, be careful as no idea how old they are and if they still hold any acid. put in the apivar strips, follow the instructions. 10 weeks is the length of time they stay in for. correct. just shake off the hive matt into the brood box before putting hive back together. seen it plenty of times when queen was sitting on the hive matt or lid and got put into the feeder. yes. you can do a box swap. put old box on hive mat etc, new box on base, shift frames over. get any remaining bees out of old box into new box. if there is no bees left in old box then its impossible to leave the queen in the old box.
