Instant vap, used for first time

[enrico]

It’s what I use

Why don't they build loads of comb in the eke or do you put it on and remove it immediately for the vape

I guess because they have space in the nest. I leave mine on for the 16 days it takes to do 4 vapes.

If you make some crown boards with normal batten 1 side and something like 18mm the other you simply reverse as needed.

I use landing boards to prevent bees falling into the grass on foraging return so for vaping oxalic I have a hole drilled into the back of the floor which takes the copper pipe and the pop a dowel in the hole when finished. No eke - they are for later when the fondant goes on. I have this horrible feeling that I may be producing really healthy bees to feed the hornets when they arrive!!

It's on only momentarily.
Also an opportunity to check you're not treating a dead colony.......

I use homemade underfloor entranced from this forum, drilled a whole in the back and vape through that, nothing fancy but does the job.
Might just vape through the OMF itself in future...
