My impression was subjective for sure, Medhat, and just a general observation of bess on the frames, increased bee traffic at hive entrances, increased bee population, increased honey stores.  I also felt I saw fewer bees with their wings spread out as to being almost orthogonal to their bodies.  (Hence, my question about a possible effect of sucrocide on TM if sucrocide was able to enter the bees' trachea.  At 1.5 oz per frame, the bees were drenched and I speculated some sucrocide may have gotten into the trachea.)  I also saw markedly fewer bees with shriveled wings.

One may say that the bees' higher activity might be related to improved forage in the area but these hives have been out in a large goldenrod field which has been abloom since the 1st week in August.

==========================
Waldemar Said"

I just treated my hives with sucrocide for the second time and had the
impression the bees' 'morale' had improved markedly since the first
treatment"

How did you measure the bees' morale?
