[QUOTE="James, post: 7897, member: 212"] We put O/A strips in about a month ago. Four per brood box. Quite a few are chewed out and dust on the bottom boards. We are re- charging the bees with more strips as we go around.... another two or three , depending on the strength. We are still learning, but I'm inclined to keep stuffing them in until we start supering, when we'll place an O/A soaked shop cloth over the brood and under the queen excluder. Of interest,was an article in the latest Advocate by DNA John about O/A possibly being detrimental to the bees gut health. Having got acid in my eye a few weeks ago, I did wonder about the effect of the acid on the bees eyesight as well ! [USER=34]@stoney[/USER] may well have some words of wisdom. [/QUOTE]
