I've been reading various accounts of using powdered sugar treatment
for varroa  (hindering the mites ability to hold onto the bee) and am
interested in other opinions.    I've read accounts where they
sprinkle sugar on each frame and others where they pour sugar onto
the tops of the frames and brush it in between the frames with the
bee brush.   Blended granulated sugar seems a better option  than
powdered sugar to me.  Would this treatment then also be possible
even during honey collection?
