A fellow beekeeper and I are trying to figure out if it is OK to put Apivar on while at the same time feeding 1:1 in order to get an added honey super of foundation drawn out. I think it is OK. She fears amitraz build up in new comb destined to contain honey for human consumption. But the maker's website states what I have heard elsewhere that there is no amitraz residue in comb. (http://www.apivar.co.nz/FAQs.htm #14 states "No residue of amitraz in wax after 24h after the removal of the strips.") Thoughts?
