Apiguard Question.

[rileyman]

Put apiguard on my hive 2 weeks ago.
Came back from holiday yesterday - to find that the bees had taken most of it - but there was some left in the tray.
Should I just renew the tray - as per instructions? or leave the tray until completely empty? or assume thay've had enough and remove the tray and stop treatment?
Any advice would be greatly welcomed.

Discard and put a fresh tray in

Yes, some colonies get stuck into the product and will empty the tray in a week.
Others seem to dislike it so much they try and stay as far away from it as possible.

Just follow the instructions on the packaging or Vita website

As Redwood says, replace with a new tray .

The tray needs to be renewed after two weeks - the remaining stuff in the first tray can be put on top of the new stuff.
It's a four week treatment - you have to go through the whole course or it's not effective.
