Bee Quick

Does anyone have experience clearing supers with Bee Quick that they'd like to share? The manufacturer's arguments for this product are quite persuasive, but then they would be, wouldn't they?

We use it with a fume board.

In our experience the bees have been cleared in about 5 - 10 mins.

I use it... works very well and fast when used on a nice sunny day on a fume board. My only warning is that if the hive is very full, the bees will pour out of the entrance like water, and crawl up your shorts.

I've used it. As mentioned, it works ok - using a fume board, but porter bee escapes aren't all that much extra hassle, and leave the supers completely free. It seems to work better when it's warmer, as described in the literature.

I've used it and was amazed at how effective it was. Smells great too.

I use it, effective but it gives me a headache! I normally have to check each frame for any stragglers before taking supers inside for extraction.
