apigard with supers on?

[darren64]

I need to leave a super on while I do my apigard treatment but do I put the eke on top of the brood box (under the super),or on top of the super,I think I need to leave the super on because there is a lot of bees and not enough food in the brood box.

Put it under the BB and eke as normal?

Yes, probably not too clear. Super under BB, eke on top of BB.

One of my mentors has advised me to overwinter with my super on and I am apiguarding at the moment. She recommended taking out a couple of the super frames and putting this directly onto the brood box with no QE between. The apiguard goes on top of the brood frames in the space left by the missing super frames. I will put those back when the apiguard has been finished in a few weeks.

thymol vapour is heavier than air so should really be at top to ensure best space filling.
