Yes, I use one 6.4 package of TM Soluble to 50 gallons of syrup in all
sugar syrup. To be effective for EFB you must get it into the hive prior
to the start of brood rearing.

Some do, but I have never tried it except in the hot summer and then I
use it in their drinking water when I had control over all water intake
to the hive. I have also used TM in the drinking water. Can not report
any golden bullet results from the addition of any of these, including
salt. I would not mix them in any case.
 
KR>        Merry Christmas to all.
