Have used it for at least 4 years, works a treat but you do need to make sure
1. You don't use too much
2 That you pick a warm day or apply a bit of heat to the metal roof part of clearing board

Used it for the first time this year. I would agreed that a warm day is best and you need to give it about 15 mins for them to move down.

15 minutes? You could have shaken all the bees off the combs in a super in less than 2 minutes and not had any "safe?" chemicals permeating your honey.

Cant say I needed 15 minutes when I used it and even so it is still quicker than using a clearer board over night. The 'CHEMICALS' are all non toxic oils and herbal extracts, apparently.
