I normally nadir uncapped honey shallows and then, in spring, reuse the good, empty drawn frames of shallows in the honey supers. But I've become worried about Apivar that may still be in the wax. I'm not worried that the bees may be affected (I don't think they are), but that it may affect the next harvest of honey or, if I render the wax, that it might still be in the wax.

Apivar says amitraz does not leave any residues in wax or honey. FAQ 15 and 16 - here -. I was just feeling ok about nadiring, when I read on BEE-L about degradation products that may remain in the wax. Most of that thread goes over my head - so, somebody who knows about these things (Fatshark?), should I remove the shallows I intended to nadir until I've finished the Apivar treatment, or can I just feel safe and nadir them while treating the hive with Apivar?
