    GasVap frustrations

    You need 2.3g of Apibioxyl per full hive. The GasVap scoop measures significantly lower. I bought a small scales on eBay that measures grms. With GasVap scoop you need 1.5 scoops

    We have had a very mild autumn and winter and a prolonged ivy season. Wondering if this caused prolonged brood rearing and thus mite increase?
