HI Bob,
A liter is slightly more than a quart, so 7-8 liters is in the 2 gallon
range.
The amount of syrup is not as important as the amount of active ingredient
given to the colony.
As far as I know, Fumagilin-B is the same as Fumidil-B except that it
dissolves easier.
Nosema ceranae apparently may require a slightly higher dose than N apis.
When drenched, it apparently requires about 25% more a.i. than the in-syrup
dose recommended for N apis.
Commercial beekeepers are having success drenching with 12oz of of medicated
syrup made by dissolving 1 large (454g) bottle of Fumagilin-B into 7 gallons
of 1:1 syrup. (Or 8oz, made with 1 bottle in 5 gal).
I have extensive articles coming out in ABJ and Bee Culture, and will post
to my website within days.
Randy
