The mixture I use is the one in Brushey mointain catalog.  It is as follows:
 
1 6.4 oz pk Terrimycin
2 1/2 lbs Crisco  (any all vegitable shortning will do)
5 lbs granulated sugar
Mix dry ingrediants thoroughly, then mix with Crisco.  Devide into 15 equal portions and flatten
into patties (About 1/4" thick. donot use during honey flow.
 
Patties without Terramycin can be made up for use during honey flow to combat T mites.

Anybody had experience using powdered sugar instead of granulated??  Some guys in our
club use it (same proportions?) and like it.
