[QUOTE="James, post: 5605, member: 212"] Morning John B..... We have been using O/A staples for a couple of springs now .....with success. Generally we start putting them in in Septemeber. It seems to be you always neeed to be refreshing them .....some hives chew through them really quicklty, some hives don't. We use the blue shop cloths as a final treatement , spread over the top bars and under the queen excluder as we super up. One year we carried on using staples as we took honey off in Jan /Feb. Next time we looked in them at the end of March about 60% of the hives were dead .Not ideal. Since then we have used Apivar or Bayvarol as a post honey flow treatement. This year we have card board strips on order from Hiveworld in Wellington. Goodluck:cool: [/QUOTE]
