[QUOTE="Mark Lawrence, post: 7947, member: 80"] Manufacturing for your own use may not be illegal as you are treating your own bees and can monitor success/failure and adjust recipe/dosage based on findings. Buying from a 3rd party you have no idea of the recipe mix and how to use appropriately. I have done hive inspections recently where novice beekeepers have bought OA strips and used up to 6 strips in a hive with 2 frames of brood - the queen stopped laying, was disorientated and trying to get as far away from the strips as she could. I have also done inspections where I see they work well - not knowing if they were bought from a 3rd party or not. Approved/registered treatments have been tested and have consistent manufacturing standards with instructions for use. [/QUOTE]
