Title: apiguard residue question
Post by: Dr. B in Wisconsin on July 28, 2014, 08:04:08 AM
Hello
I have a super that I used last year when I applied Apiguard, the super has a small amount of capped honey on it, the super has been in the refrig. since last year. I want to put it back on the hive with the rest of the supers and let them fill it out and leave it on thru the winter, what do you all think. Is there any residue Apiguard that might contaminate the other supers on the super from last year or has it dissapated?
Thanks for any input.

i think it's fine, but i would cut the small amount of capped honey out and let them fix that part.  you are not supposed to use it with the honey supers, so if there is any chance that some is in the capped honey, take it out.

it's supposed to be pretty harmless.
