Api life var, the bees have not touched it?

[Amber]

Any thoughts please as to why a hive has not touched api life var? Never had that before

Removal depends on temperature and size of colony. Has it been cold and is the colony small?

8 drawn frames & 4 frames of brood, the temprature has been around 18c most days, the other hive emptied all & they are smaller.

Can you explain?

What’s the drop like compared to the others?
Apilife Var works via vapour so the bees not removing it shouldn’t make any difference? If they took all of it out in a day I might be concerned. I used it a few times years ago. If I remember correctly they usually left the second dose intact and I would remove it myself.

Thought by the bees taking it out also helped, obviously have that info wrong.

Thanks for asking, I have enabled push today so may help to find messages.
