Also from Purina:
>This protein supplement is designed to perform in patty or liquid form to fit the needs of your operation. Purina® Hearty Bee™ supplement includes a flavoring ingredient to optimize intake and is less attractive to hive beetles than a leading competitive supplement. We believe Hearty Bee™ supplement is the best choice for your bees.

I'd like to know what the "flavoring ingredient" is that will optimize intake. I think caffeine is a possibility. And what would be attractive to bees that would be less attractive to SHBs?
They are also giving the stuff away to commercial beekeepers:
>Sign-up to receive a free sample of Purina® Hearty Bee™ supplement. This sample offer is limited to commercial bee keepers with over 1,000 hives while supplies last. After submitting the form, if you have confirmed you are a commercial beekeeper you will be contacted by Purina.
