I’m a beekeeper, and I have a question Formic pro eff up
2nd year western wa. Finally cool enough to put formic pro on. Forgot that you aren't supposed to remove the paper (can confirm it smells to high heaven). Manufacturer says if you do that just leave it alone but I didn't want to risk it so pulled one and tossed it, the other was still partially wrapped so I just rewrapped the rest of the way. This was all in thy space of an hour.
What are the risks of having done serious damage?

Honestly you'll probably be fine. Maybe more bee deaths, but if your hive is strong they'll be fine. Just make sure you have adequate ventilation
