[QUOTE="Maggie, post: 7963, member: 71"] I have done numerous hive inspections where the beekeeper has used synthetic treatments, and not read the label. Some get into their head that they know best. Even come across people that whip out the strips after 8 weeks, then reuse 6 mths later! This is nothing to do with oxalic treatments. It's to do with pigheadedness, and this will occur whether there is a safety data sheet or not. I also know of commercial beekeepers, who because they have been unable to sell honey, have had no option but to convert to O/A strips and have saved tens of thousands of dollars in treatments and their hives have survived. Then there is the hive inspection, that used every herb known to mankind (all documented on the hive mat) and the only thing missing was the addition of a chicken leg, salt & pepper, for a tasty meal.
