probably, but the apiguard evaporates and goes down into the hive.  a little more air space and it will be more efficient.  you can make your own.  i made a few for my hives and i'm no woodworker! Wink

You need to do another two week treatment. Apigaurd is supposed to be two treatments two weeks each.
