Some colonies do not have room for a gallon of syrup and the minor flows aren't to far away so I need to drench. Jerry, I will send you some live bees as soon as I can. I will call you and set that up. Allen, I appreciate the chart but that is to confusing for this country boy. I have the large bottles that are sold labeled as 9.5 g from Mann Lake. How many gallons do I mix that bottle with and how much of the mix do I drench each colony with? Does a 5 frame colony get a half dose(I assume it does)? *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
