I bought some from Thornes of Wragby and used it to clear some of my supers
about a month ago. It seemed to work alright. I was intrigued, however, when
plywood boards that I had sprayed with "bee quick" were left in the apiary
to air. On a subsequent visit, I observed quite a few bees licking at the
boards. I communicated this observation with the manufacturers who were as
suprised as I was. The best explaination that they were able to come up with
was that the sugar residue from the extracts used in bee quick had attacted
the bees. Very strange!
