Kirk, not al all trying to pick you apart....I have read some of your 
previous posts and know that would be wrongheaded. However, did you have 
yards where you fed some and didn't feed others?
I have had dinks turn into healthy hives and vice-versa depending on which 
yard they were located in....I am sure this is not news to you.
I have read feeding studies that are all over the map...and just when I 
think I have found some truth I hear a knowledgeable beek contradict that!! 
.
Thanks
