Have you ever used Formic Pro on top of 2 deep body hive instead of between brood boxes? If so, is it effective and safe?
It'd be safe. There are dispensers for liquid formic that have to be ontop in a shim anyways.

Formic pro is designed to be close to the brood. If the brood nest is entirely in the upper deep, you're probably better off putting the pads on top imo. If split or entirely in the lower, put above the lower deep.

I don't get good knock down with formic when it has to go through a box of honey.
