[QUOTE="tristan, post: 13059, member: 30"] not a lot. kinda a pain that i don't do much in the field these days. however we have 20 hives with staples in, put in mid spring. they are still alive. some interesting quirks like strips being eaten where they fold over the frame and the strips fall down onto the base. the lads mention they have not been eaten much, which is a lot different to the last seasons staples. not sure if thats due to cardboard change or just bees being bees. the rest are still in storage. i was hoping they would be put out before xmas, a good mid season treatment when flows are on, but looks like it will be later. just hope boss doesn't get cold feet as per usual. i have one staple sitting out of the packet and thats gone snow white, even with low humidity (dehumidifier). i've got other projects on the go so i'm not sure if i will get out to do any testing.
