I was pretty clear both times saying it was not based on total Science, and my experience! I doubt it has a huge effect on many who don’t ask more questions.. It seems to me that in most areas fall/ winter dribble is already rare, and my experience seems to match the published data for overwintering. I do get your thoughts. Points! But it seems I am not the only one who thinks fall dribble in cold climates is not the best idea.

>This is the key question here Charlie. How did you measure/confirm the amount applied per seam of bees?
The method is pretty much what you described, practice with a garden sprayer until your fairly proficient. No magic syringe or measurement, again, not science we were doing, treating yards. Different expectations!

No final numbers of applied were calculated, but with an average of 14 seems op bees, times 5 ml each we would have probably been well over the 50 ml range. Closer to 70ml
