Making a batch tonight. Where are you putting the grease in the hive? In the brood chambers or in the honey supers or both?

Put it on the ends of the brood frames. Do not add with honey Supers.

Are you saying that it isn't safe to use with honey supers on? Or are you saying to put it on the brood chamber, but not honey supers?

Probably more of a legality.  You can't put pesticides in your hive with supers on even though bees will bring in essential oils naturally by foraging.

I'm going to make up a batch and give it a whirl.
We are fixing to get into Small Hive Beetle season again.
Mid May is when we start seeing infestations of the dreaded Small Hive Beetles.
