Removal depends on temperature and size of colony. Has it been cold and is the colony small?
OP
8 drawn frames & 4 frames of brood, the temprature has been around 18c most days, the other hive emptied all & they are smaller.
Struggling to see my messages in the group for some reason ?

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.
