The general strategy for fumigillin is to have bees store it as "honey"
above the contracting brood nest in fall, so that they will later eat their way
up into it (fumigillin is very stable in solution), and thus dose themselves
through the winter.
And if any is left over in spring and it is in the way of an expanding brood
nest they may move it into the supers with incoming nectar for you to sell
to your customers as a 'pure' product!
