Randy,
Are you saying that a powdered sugar shake seems to be as accurate an indicator as an alcohol wash? I've heard various opinions. I rather like the idea of a sugar shake which leaves the bees alive as apposed to an alcohol wash which disposes of around three hundred bees (I have a soft heart).
