[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 12537, member: 13"] What I can say is this. When I was an AP2 I was not allowed to mention that on social media. But I retired from that a few months ago. During that time I saw many hives of many beekeepers, and quite a few using staples. All this around Auckland. I did not see one beekeeper using staples that did not have the same issues as me, other than one guy it was working quite well for but he had a very definite timetable when they went in and when they came out, and only used them once a year. What I would see in an apiary if the staples had been in any length of time would be a few good hives, the majority in decline and some dead or close to it. When I rang to arrange a visit, if they told me the hives had staples in I would already know what I was going to see before I got there. [/QUOTE]
