I am indeed a member as I needed to be insured. But I'm unlikely to go to any of the meetings.

One week on and they've not touched the tablets - still in place on top of the brood box. Back vent closed down. Do we put another tablet in leaving the old one in place or take them off?
They're still slightly angry bees!

as per the instructions....... one packet lasts a week broken into four parts. after seven replace with new packet again broken in four total treatment lasts four weeks. so four packets needed

Apilife var has two tablets per packet so only two packets per hive for the complete treatment

NO. one TABLET per hive per week so TWO packets.

However, aside from annoying the bees and reducing brooding more i bet the only real damage caused by overdosing is to the wallet!!!!
