I have been using DSBB with oil pan between screens, bee proof, I have been catching up to 23 SHB plus numerous larva the first day after installation. This continually goes down and when I go through hive I seldom see a SHB. I like to look and have numbers, that is proof. I plan on using the painted strips because I think this will make the oil pan more effective. Rancher I have a question, do you ever have to recoat the strips and how long do the paint jobs last?
